Your site had me laughing so hard I cried. I was just posting on a FB page (people who grew up in Rockland County NY in the 70's and 80's) and I posted a new topic–what class film terrorized you? I then described "And Then It Happened", how I was shown this in 3rd grade and it *still* gives me the willies 35 years later! My brother then posted a link to our blog and I practically wet my pants. Thank you oh thank you for keeping the terror alive! (you know, in that 'I want to watch but I know I'm gonna have bad dreams from it' way)

Hello,

I like your page, I found it by searching for Bunyip, I was really scared by it.

One thing that most scared and affected me was the movie "Jumanji", which is actually a good movie and I liked it, but there is that scene where this gigantic plant grows and attacks people. I am still scared by it, so everytime I see that movie I start having nightmares about big human eating plants. That said, I still have problems looking at flesh eating plants or at unusually big plants, also afraid to touch them. When I am in the bathtub, I sometimes have got day nightmares, that out of the sink there might come a big plant and eat me…

That is still scaring me.

Faithfully yours,

Dominik

Is it normal to base a huge part of your life around a box art cover? Probably not but I have an excuse: it was Friday the 13th on the NES. I couldn't play the game because I didn't have a Nintendo but every time I was in the video store, I would stare at the pixelated map on the back and dream about being able to explore the campgrounds in the films I'd watch every time they aired on the USA network. Friday the 13th was the scariest movie in the world (even when broken up by Rhonda Shear segments and the flood of 900 phone sex ads). So the game would have to be the scariest game in the world right? RIGHT? Well, I got the answer when I finally played it years later. But something stuck with me: there was an idea there somewhere. So I started working on the slasher game I had always dreamed of playing.
