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?

The Woman in WhiteBack when I was doing GCSE drama we had to do a technical review of a play, how the set looked, what we would have done differently and so on. The play that our teacher chose for us was The Woman in White, it's a ghost story set in some rural moors somewhere or other. So theres me, the teacher and the other 7 lads doing the course all piling into the theatre in London getting settled in and ready to watch the play. The first part of it is pretty run of the mill stuff as far as stage horror goes, lots of dim lighting and people hiding in the background and a sodding great dry-ice machine, about 3/4 of the way through though it gets to a bit where the protaganist goes to open a door and when he touches the doorhandle there is a scream. We were all expecting this scream to come from off-stage somewhere, but no, it can from 3 foot behind our seats out of a fucking surround-soud speaker and ridiculous volume. I don't mind telling you every single one of us almost died with a mixture of shock and fright.
Length? It was quite a long play.
