1. What book frightened you as a young person? I don't recall its name, but there was this book of ghost stories from the library I borrowed when about eleven.... several of the stories, especially an illustrated one about a dance of the dead (ghosts, the old-fashioned hideous sort) in an abandoned house, never quite left me.
2. If you had to become a ‘living book (i.e. able to recite the contents of a book cover to cover upon request – reference Fahrenheit 451), what book would it be? Well, I can recite most of 1066 and All That :)
3. What movie or TV show scared you as a kid? I can still remember an animated Animal Farm that I found disturbing. And I'm pretty sure my parents never meant me to see the NONchildren's telemovie, The Stone Tapes, bits of which still haunt me.
4. What movie (scary or otherwise) will you never ever watch? Splatter movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre or torture porn like Saw Good or bad, no no never, I do not have a strong stomach for gore.
5. Do you have any phobias? Not as such - being a wuss I'm scared of a lot of things, but not to the point of phobia. And the usual suspects like spiders, sharks and snakes ? given where I live that's just plain common sense :)
