Things I learn from horror:

[nilchance]

Say you're a 15 year old kid, and there's a monster living in your closet. Every night, the monster creeps out (it's been living in the crawl-space) and mutilates you while you sleep.

Do you:
a) run screaming from the house after the first incident, never to return?
b) start taking kitchen knives to bed?
c) continue sleeping in room with monster and bandaging wounds so no one can know?

(Hint: the story says C.)

Option B was actually a real life incident for me. I was 13 and got totaly freaked out by just a few minuets of the original "When a Stranger Calls" that was on late night tv so i went to bed with a knife under my pillow. and brought it with me when i went to investigate the sound of someone walking around at 3 am. It was just my mom getting a snack but she congratulated me for thinking to get a knife.
