Has any media made you too scared to sleep as an adult?

Went to see Ghost Stories last night. Was absolutely brilliant and thoroughly enjoyed it. It did make me jump out my skin a few times and it was very fun and creepy. However I ended up spending most the night laying awake feeling scared and listening to every creak last night. I nearly had heart failure when the baby started crying at 3am. I’m no stranger to being awake with anxiety or stress but it must be decades since I’ve laid awake at night scared!

Well I’ve just looked up the Elizabeth Cage books and the first was was 99p on the Kobo. If I don’t sleep tonight I’m blaming you lot

Oh, they’re so good! But obviously, creepy as fuck. Enjoy!

I couldn't sleep in the same room as a TV for months after The Ring. It put me off horror movies for years.

I watched Carrie and The Omen as a teenager and had nightmares for years. The Woman in Black play was terrifying but the worst thing was Threads, I’m still haunted by it. I now avoid anything to do with the supernatural as I can’t get them out of my head.
