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.

Fight club was underrated, probably because it was too niche -- most of the
people who could handle the pure gore of it weren't able to get the depth of
it.

I always make sure Sarah's closet door is closed when we put her to bed.
We were warned that children who sleep with a light always on at night
have vision problems later on. (per our pediatrician)
Yes, our cats often sleep on our bed with us.

that declaration sounds like it rubs right against what the more deeply
immersed ideas in 'fight club' are meant to reveal.
