How weird. Everyone used to be a non-horror addict. Now look at us! We're always visiting the Horror Forum!

Ok my story is like this.

For some reason and I don't know why, I was always scared of horror characters. Especially Leprechaun. Around when I was 9 I was like the kid who you couldn't get to watch a horror film no matter what! But the Leprechaun scared me to death. I swear I saw him 2 times in the middle of the night.

continued . . .

The 1st time I saw him was in the middle of the night. I jumped off my bed and walked into the dark hall. At the end of the hall was the restroom, the door was open. I could make out this tiny person on the toilet just standing on top of it. It had his hand on his hip and his hat on. I got scared and ran over there and turned on the lights. I think I was about 11. I took a piss and I heard Leprechaun giggles. It scared the shit out of me. So I hurried up and left the light on. I went back to sleep.

The 2nd time I saw him was again in the middle of the night. I woke up and heard a few giggle. And a few little steps in the kitchen. I walked very stiff, over to the kitchen. The lights were off. I looked and squinched my eyes. And I could make out a tiny person again. This time standing by the bar in the living room. It was standing tall and shadowy. I was freaked and ran back to bed.

I was scared. I did not know what to do. So I told my mom and she called my grandma. My grandma is a church-going person. She came over to my house with holy water. She blessed me with the water and told me I would never see him again. And I didn't. But you do not know how this character scared me. He scared me so much sometimes I would just lose it. But what I came to find out just a couple of weeks ago is that one of my friends went through the same thing. He had a fear of the leprechaun and his grandmother blessed him. He never saw it again. Weird, eh?

But now I'm 13 about to be 14 in September. I love horror movies now. I can't get enough. I guess I finally came over my fear of the Lep at the end of me being 12. Thanks to www.lepconnie.com I am not afraid anymore. One day I took up the courage to look up the Lep on the internet and found Connie's great site. I fell in love with the site and started to get into the Lep. I discovered that he really just is a tiny person in make-up. So with me not being scared of the Leprechaun anymore I figured "why be scared of any other horror character?" So I wasn't scared anymore.

But it wasn't just the Lep I had trouble with it was Freddy. I dreamt of him killing me sometimes. And him poking his hands up my bed and into me while I was asleep. I still am a little scared about something like that happening to me till this day. I have a feeling of someone cutting my throat sometimes so when I get that feeling I dip my chin into my chest. Like right now I'm getting a lump in my throat.

And in Child's Play 3 when Chucky cuts Andy's foot, that scares me. I always check under my bed. And when I wake up for dangle my feet off of my bed I quickly pull them up. I am so superstitous. I have some friends at school that are not like me but still put up with me and they are like "why are you so superstitious?" I answer. "I just am"

I'll continure with my life story later....
