About this episode
We’ve all got one. The thing we saw in a movie or heard a scary story about that struck a nerve somewhere within us, perhaps in our youth, causing a fear we can’t quite explain that persists into adulthood. For me, it’s not a monster, but it’s body horror that really gets under my skin. But for so many, the movies they watched as children and the monsters within them have left lasting impressions. Whether it’s Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, the Mummy, or Pennywise the clown from Stephen King’s IT, there’s most likely some creature on this list that scared you as a kid and possibly still does.
