How much I actually took in through the blanket over my head is questionable. Remember the terrified Roddy MacDowell and the changing paintings? Greensleeves? The former SS officer hiding out in Brazil and his mistaken leap into the wrong painting?

Sometimes I'd sneak out and watch from the doorway. I remember the year The Blob came out and advertisements for it showed screaming people racing out of the cinema. When I saw it finally, I just laughed at it, because in between times I'd seen scarier stuff. The Exorcist which I'd read first, so knew what to expect. <br />My kids loved horror stuff too, they'd sit up late with newspapers and magazines ready to huddle behind, they loved getting scared silly and never had nightmares.
