The Friday Five

thefridayfive (pinched from thisbluespirit)

1. What book frightened you as a child?
All of the "Goosebumps" series, pretty much. I remember a book of Irish myths and legends that I was terrified of for a time. I've no idea of the title, though.


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?
Something incredibly short (Spot the Dog?) because I'd rather read/write books than become one. If forced to choose a proper book, maybe Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca.


3. What movie or TV show scared you as a kid?
I remember having nightmares for weeks when my dad let me watch a TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's The Body in the Library. Not sure why this in particular freaked me out so much. Maybe because a very young girl was killed?


4. What movie (scary or otherwise) will you never ever watch?
I'm a horror fan who prefers psychological films. Gore to the extent of the Saw franchise turns me off. But if pushed I might still give it a go.


5. Do you have any phobias?
Ferris Wheels.
