Its no biggie. Everyone has that one fear that truly puts a shiver down their spine.

It's funny you should mention the movie, The Thing. I still remember when my dad first introduced it to me as a kid. I had already seen my share of horror movies new and old. When I saw the cover of the movie (VHS that is), I didn't think nothing of it. Yet, hallway into the movie, I found myself with my knees to my chest and hands covering my eyes. Not to mention we were watching this at night in front the family TV.

Afterwards, I was too afraid to go in my room fearing what might be lurking in the shadows. I was mainly worried about the Head monster (sorry if I spoiled it for anyone) and if it was lurking in a corner. That movie had me like that for a good week. X)

Eventually, I got over it, but I still the remember how terrified I felt as if something was always in the shadows waiting, it truly was all mental.

Today, it's definitely one of my favorite movies to watch. A good classic with original special effects no CGI. The sequel-prequel as I like to call it wasn't that bad either.
