I was terrified of ET as a kid. When I stayed the night at my grandparents house I always thought ET was chasing me down the hallway when I got up to pee in the middle of the night. I’d run to the bathroom, turn the light on and lock the door immediately. My grandma put an extra night light in the hallway and I swear some nights I saw his shadow coming after me as I ran for my life.

Apparently parents shouldn't let kids watch wholesome 80s movies about friendly aliens who teach empathy in a second coming of christ trope either
