Dave, I hear you about sleeping with the lights on at night!
Several episodes of the ORIGINAL Outer Limits episodes freaked me out and gave me nightmares..one where an alien from another planet is sent here as a criminal exchange program..it kept putting stuf into a pond and the stuff looked like jello? ANd the monster looked HORRIBLE, like he was made from all diffrent flavors of jello! I did not sleep well after that, or the one called THE ZANTI MISFITS, about these six inch long alien ant dudes who had human faces that were nightmarish! I was 6 - 7 - 8 when that show was new on tv...
I saw the 1958 movie THE BLOB on tv when I was 9, and that night after I'd gone to bed, I saw a thing in my room on the floor, and I thought it was moving towards me and I grabbed my baseball bat and started smashing the shit out of.... a pile of laundry ! LoL!!
