The Man of My Nightmares



The man of my nightmares....really...I keep having nightmares about this guy when I was a kiddo...The main character of the IT horror show that I saw on the Idiot Box (telly)...It wasn't that scary when I first read the novel...its when I saw the show, that I've changed my mind since then...it is more than 10 years already...but still...he is the reason why :

1. I've quit reading Stephen King's works...even though there are plenty King's writings that are amazing...

2. At the tender age of 10, I fear going to the washroom alone...

3. I don't watch horror movies anymore...

4. I stare down the hole in the kitchen sink...to make sure he is not going to spring a surprise on me....I stil do sometimes...even the young adult that I've now become...call it paranoia...see if I actually care...

5. I don't do too well with clowns...

6. I can't look at Ronald McDonald straight in face without twitching...don't even try convincing me to take a photo sitting beside Mr. McDonald...I will so freak out...

7. I can never bear listening to Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" Suite, Op. 71a, as beautiful as the piece is...gives me the shivers every time....for it is this Nutcracker piece that welcomes the every appearance of this clown character in the movie...

p/s : try watching this IT show...you will know what I mean...*shudders*...but I gotta give him the credit..he is such a good actor..to be able to give me creeps...even after a decade long...
