I was also terrified of et. I used to have nightmares about him constantly, and thought he was coming to get me. I grew out of it, but I still hate et. he's just horrible. i watched the film again a few years ago - he's disgusting, like a walking turd. my sister used to think it was funny to pretend to be et, and do that freaky skittles thing, when he crawls up stairs. All i heard was the scary shuffling and raspy breathing, and i used to think he was going to eat me or something. i still have a slight fear of heights. i reckon i've got over my fear of large dogs, but i still hate it when a big dog barks at me or follows me. Also, i have always been afraid of my vains in my wrist (the ones that pop out), but i'm working on getting over that.
