Closet door has to be shut. I have nightmares if it isn't. I consider that a
direct correlation. ;-)
I agree about sleeping with limbs hanging over the edge... I also have
problems sitting on the edge of the bed since I know something will grab my
legs.
This is what happens when you start reading Stephen King at the age of ten. =)

I don't know when my happened, and I didn't read king until I was 14, but I
used to think that Tarzan, Frankenstien, and Dracula lived under my bed and
would grab me and drag me under. I know exacly where that came from. He's
living in Chicago now. Evil brothers...

my parents didn't allow a nite light. the few times a light was left on it
created shadows that were much more frightening to me than totall darkness.
when littlefang was a toddler he was worried about monsters until i told him
that monsters had a major weakness...they were no match for his father. i
told him that if any monsters showed up he should warn them that his father
would kick their butts. he never had a problem after that little chat.

I was wondering why your parents were using a lava lamp as a night
light in the first place.

I haven't read much Stephen King, however I was a huge fan of horror
movies when I was little. My sister and I used to sit and watch the
'Saturday Afternoon Shockers' when I was about 10 or so.
Heh, I never had a night light in my room, but my door was usually open
and there was a light left on in the bathroom (so we could all find our
way there) that only kinda made it in to my room. For the most part if
I awoke with a bad dream I went to my parents' room... <grins> Save for
the time I was convinced there was a dog at the foot of the ladder (I
was in the top bunk of a bunk bed) who wanted to eat me... so I
screamed for Mama...

re: #45 heh, by the time lava lamps showed up my parents were so far beyond
being hippies i cannot find the words to describe it.
anne reminded me that my dad bought a round disk that plugged directly into
an outlet and it emitted this faint blue light. in otherwise total darkness
it provided enuff light to find the bathroom w/o turning on a light. i
remember to this day his telling me it only cost 2 cents a year to operate
LOL

I didn't have a nightlight, but there was a nightlight in the bathroom so we
wouldn't have to find it in the dark. I always slept with my door open a bit.
Dad would say goodnight to me, then ask how many fingers. I would say
anything from 1-5, and he'd hold his hand against the doorframe horizontally
and close the door up to that many fingers. I was a brave girl if I said one
or two. If I said five, it was because I'd just seen a scary movie. =)

I've been indifferent to bedroom lighting since I can remember. Bed wasn't
where the scary stuff was.
Sure you have, Wendy. You could put my ramblings in a book to blackmail me
with by now.

When my brother was little (like 3-4), we used to do monster exorcisms before
he went to bed. Not only did he go to bed with a smile on his face from our
antics, but he felt safe and loved.

I live in a dorm. They took out all the closet doors years ago.

I kinda dislike closing the bedroom door and disconnecting
myself the rest of the house.
I use two of those blue light discs in the bathroom--they came
in a package of two.
The waterbed has a drawer pedistal, so no room for monsters
under my bed. Also hard to leave a limb up and over the edge.

I live with two cats. Leaving the door open prevents a lot of whining and
scratching.

They stake out their own territories on the bed, yes.

Sarah- that's really cool. :) Should I ever have kids I might try
that...
My parents still have that light in 'Mom's' bathroom, for the same
reason- no kids living in the house, but you never know when you're
going to have to get up.
Having cats that sleep with you pretty much requires an open door (at
least partially). Although, I was surprised last night when I woke up
and it wasn't Sasha curled up behind my knees but Gomez...

Stephen (not Steven) King was featured on last night's A&E "Biography".
Anyone have an opinion on The Green Mile?

Too long in parts. Tried too hard. Definitely one of the better films ever
made, but its aspirations at High Art were too obvious, and that brought it
down. Well acted; Hanks has come a long way from a man-in-a-dress.

Nope. He's a Stephen.
Gomez and Morticia sleep with me, but Gomez visits Anney during the night once
in a while. I always wake up with him by my knees, though.

I was never afraid of the dark, and only occassionally concerned about the
space beneath my bed (in which case I would vault myself on/of). My door was
left open, but only becasue instead of sleeping I would play with my toys in
the dark (ADHD). I remember the bedtime rule was that I must stay in my bed,
awake or asleep, for at least six hours.
I liked _The Green Mile_. Heard that the rights for it were purchased for
something like $1. I agree that it was a little long in parts. Perhaps its
just been too long since I've seen it, but I don't recall much effort to make
it High Art. I do recall that some of the event sequences especially
regarding healing were similar to those in _Powder_.
I must say though that I found _Fight Club_ to be a very interesting movie.
It is actually where I got one of my nics.
