When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.
When were you last really scared?

Boom Boom TedWhen I was a little kid, I had a teddy bear called Boom Boom Ted. He was called this because he had something in his chest which made a heart beat sound when pressure was applied. I assume that this was supposed to comforting, but as a four or five year old, nightmares with unrelenting heartbeats running through them were quite awful.
After one particularly horrific nightmare (in which I was a soldier and going to war in the back of an army truck, which crashed and began rolling over and over and over...) I decided that enough was enough, and decided to do something about it. My mother was rather upset to see me tearing my "favourite" (and most expensive) teddy bear to pieces.
Apologies for the lack of relevance to the question but I'm sure I mentioned being scared somewhere, so it will have to do.
