Honestly, it's probably stuff like that that's made me insist on having a dog at home ever since since. Now if I'm up late reading, watching, or playing something scary, I don't feel the need to react unless the dogs do too.

I've seen a few of the movies that were adaptations of his stories, and that guy is well and truly fucked up.

Just about to go to bed, and according to the internet, that story's in Skeleton Crew. Just so happens I have a paperback copy of that sitting on my dresser. DO I DARE?

I started to read it when I was a kid and my parents wouldn't let me watch the miniseries on TV (yet they let me watch The Shining at 5. Weird logic), and I opened it at that part. That put an end to my reading real quick.

Silent Hill 2, for me. I was 13 or so, my family was gone for the weekend, and I decided that nighttime would be the perfect time to play that fucking game.

I got so sick of Xander near the end. Of course, I hated pretty much every character by season 6.
