Me too - although not quite scared enough to do anything about it unfortunately. Though what can I do? I definitely hope that I get made redundant in the near future."Spending the next 37 years in my shitty office job."
Also, La Cabina, now that is a very scary and surreal film about a phone box. If you haven't seen that it's well worth spending half an hour to check it out on youtube
Nice one, hope you enjoyed it."Just did, thanks! The mesmerising aesthetic appeal of that telephone box may surpass even the red pipes in Tati's Mon Oncle."
Now that's an evocative title. Guess I'll have to check it out."Also on a telephone-horror tip, the short story 'Your Tiny Hand Is Frozen' from Robert Aickman's The Wine-Dark Sea is a disturbing narrative indeed."
Years ago it occurred to me how utterly fucking terrifying it would be to have one's bare feet lying there exposed and to feel the touch of a human hand on them, while there is of course no-one else in the room. Or maybe your partner, but she/he is fast asleep next to you.
I know it's ridiculous, but now I just can't shake the idea from my head.

I can't sleep with my feet sticking out from under the duvet any more. Not even on a really hot, sultry summer's night when it would actually be really nice.
Because.

I'm not afraid of water or animals or heights or anything like that.

An old housemate of mine once hid under my bed and did exactly this as a practical joke. I hit the fucking roof. I did not see the funny side.
I bet if someone were about to push you off a massive precipice into a lake full of bears, you'd be bricking it.
deep water and swimming in it, and a giant sea monster comes up from underneath.
