Facing Fears

18 years ago I rented this movie - "Fire in the Sky" because a boy named Mark in my fifth grade class told me is was soooo good. Well I never did watch it because I was terrified even by the picture on the box. Recently I saw that it was on Netflix, and so finally after all this time I actually watched it with my husband. (this TV is also 18 years old!).

It wasn't as bad as I thought. There were a few suspenseful moments, but I only had to cover my eyes a few times!

I should mention it was only a few years ago that I got over my fear of "E.T." - though I still think he's creepy looking. I guess I really just do not like alien movies.
haha nice story Lauren.......

I remember when this came out on VHS, my parents rented it for us thinking it would be ok and all that. But then.....we had nightmares for weeks. And now I can't remember much of it. Glad you finally got around to watching it! :)

Nothing to feel bad about. My daughter was terrified of ET and to this day refuses to be in the same room if it's on.

Isn't that the one about the alien abduction and meant to be based upon a true story?

@lacedxxoo I think you must have blocked it out of your mind because it was so scary!
@webfoot Paul I'm glad I'm not the only one with an ET fear, people think he's cute???!
@dannydavies I think usually not me scene either,lol
@sabresun yes Matt, that's the one!
@peterauliciems Peter I can't even watch the trailer for that one. i think that one would be too much for me to handle
