    When I was about 6, my folks went around to some friends house for dinner. Afterwards, they watched 'Poltergeist' and 'The Hand' and blithely let their innocent and sensitive wee boy watch on, horrified.

    For years afterwards I had a horrific fear of maggots (from the scene in Poltergeist when the guy eats a sandwich and they spill from his face) and my step-father, who would wait at the bottom of the stairs for me to come down, then scuttle his hand up the bannister, sending me shreaking back up to my room. The bastard better hope he never ends up in a care home - I'ma going to make his life hell.
