I was at school in the Alps, and the dorm was an old hotel that had previously been a TB sanitarium. 'Most everyone else had gone off on a ski weekend, but I stayed behind to enjoy the peace and quiet. The book I chose to read: The Shining. Never been so jumpy in my life.

I also read Jaws on my first trip to Florida beaches. Yeah, I make some bad choices.

My son found Mary Poppins a bit scary, the part where they all float up to the ceiling laughing. And a Lady and the Tramp scene where the Siamese cats are prowling and singing creeps both of us out.
