49. I am a horror fan.

I used to handle the decorations and candy duties by the time I was 13 (considered too old to go out for 'TorT' at the time) and always had a complete blast scaring the kids who came to the door. At 15 I did my first 'professional' haunted house and by 18 I had created two of them myself.

Only one movie has ever given me nightmares, as in I actually felt afraid in the dream. That was the one ranked number two on the 'Bravo Top 100 Scariest Movie Moments Of All Time'. (Bull, but I digress. 'Jaws' was ranked first and that is a tough one to dispute.)
