Nah, I was worried elevators might go higher as intended, smash through the roof and abduct me.

Yeah what's up with that btw? Into the bermuda triangle rabbit hole i go...

I was a simpler kid. I just thought that the sun was going to just disappear and we wouldn't notice for 8 minutes.

I was literally looking at the sky thinking the sun has already be gone.

It was in every movie in the 80s. You were eating a pizza in New York? Quicksand would appear under your feet!

I was sure that boats sank the vast majority of the time they were used. Also, I have yet to be on fire.

Yeah I was worried about spontaneous combustion in my sleep also. I wonder if those people were just smokers who dozed off with a cig in bed.

I saw this Documentary, The Princess Bride, where they went to the Fire Swamps. Was really oversold to me as a kid.

I'd like to add ghosts and witches to the list
