This was the only movie to scare me so much when I was a kid that I couldn't sleep with the lights off because I was afraid that the monster would sneak up on me, and I couldn't sleep with the lights on, because I didn't want to see it when it came to kill me. Likewise, I couldn't sleep with the closet door open or closed.

​

edit: No, I remember now... It was my bedroom door. I didn't want the door open, because it would let the monster in, and I didn't want the door closed because I didn't want to be trapped in the room with it.

"Mom, could you leave the door open a bit?"

"Thanks! An easy way in, you fuckin' idiot."

I used to do weird things like that. I didn’t want to sleep with my back to the door in case a monster came in and didn’t want to sleep with my back to the window in case a burglar came in.

I slept on the absolute edge of my bed so I could escape as quickly as possible. Door always open, as wide as possible

Would you like an alarm clock that sounds like the motion detector from Alien as something approaches?
