Things That Go Bump In The Night

[lijit77]

i'm from the island of jamaica, & i do believe there are things that go bump in the night. not just because of stories old people told us about a strange ghost they call the 'rolling calf', which comes in the form of animals and is most dangerous when its in the form of a cat, but i believe because of creepy personal experiences as well. there are mysteries, your culture doesnt neccesarily provide u with all there is to know about reality

[theloathlydaddy]

Fascinating and informative comment, thanks for stopping by! :)

[cubakid1005]

jsut a question for the guy in the video do you honestly deny the exsistance of what may be out their lurking in the dark

[theloathlydaddy]

I don't deny that there might things that are hidden to us, but I'd need to see some proof, some evidence in order to believe. That's just me, I haven't seen this yet. But if others have, and if they believe, then I certainly don't knock that. Thanks for a great question and a great comment, have an excellent day. :)

[greggfla]

lol, awesome video! The Tingler was a great movie! So was Curse of the Werewolf! I always loved the Hammer horror movies when I was a kid. Still do enjoy them to this day!

[theloathlydaddy]

The Hammer films really have stood the test of time, it's still exciting to see the great English horror stars like Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Oliver Reed... charismatic figures all. Hammer achieved maximum impact without a huge budget, they relied on great stories and acting and pacing and atmosphere... and, okay, a bit of gore. But today's horror films are far worse in that last regard, and few of today's film feature actors of the status and ability of Lee or Cushing.

[DaywaltFearFactory]

I posted a vid response to this one. love it. LOVED the Tingler! Vincent Price is the man.

[theloathlydaddy]

I agree about Vincent Price!  Your video was awesome, thanks so much for posting it as a response, have a terrific week! :)

[Fewdiodotcom]

I love this one Steve. Thanks so much for sharing this one. I have similar stories. I'll post a video response based on my own true story. Even though a woman gives the monologue, it happened to me.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Drew, much appreciated! I'm turning off the lights now, but I'll leave the computer on... it's better than a nightlight lol

[DJE179]

I love you Steve this is a great video I really related to it

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Dom, much appreciated :)

[Matarina]

Vincent Price is great, he was also in the orignal House of Wax.

[theloathlydaddy]

That was totally classic horror, and in 3D no less! But it's great in 2D as well. Thanks for stopping by, friend :)

[realnutty01]

Yes funny how our imaginations can run wild in the night. Have been peeking at vieos when Tam watches, but wanted to say hi and i am watching. Now please can i have the light back on.......

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Kim, always a pleasure. Lights on :)

[Bflatblues55]

I'm so happy I came here to see this! Though I do love Tom's solution (ken8dy), I will just say that I do keep a flashlight in my nightstand drawer. I don't suppose you go see movies like "Saw" .... do you? :)

[theloathlydaddy]

My daughter has seen all the SAW movies, you likes scary awful films like that. I like super heroes and big monsters lol Thanks for stopping by, much appreciated :)

[weathermanspike]

I totally agree:-)

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks spike, have a great week :)

[NotaTrollTravlin]

makes me glad I didn't go see scary movies--

[theloathlydaddy]

Scary movies are so... scary! lol

[patchcords]

I know I'm scared when every hair on my body is standing on end and I can't speak. Kinda like those dreams when you want to call for help but nothing is comming out,,,,,just Haa, HAAAAuuummm !!! LOL

Then the wife gives ya a nug and says " wake up you fool, it's just a dream "

[theloathlydaddy]

I've had those dreams, and it's true for me as well, I tell the wife about my dream and she makes tells me everything's okay. And then I can dream again. :)

[ScenicVideos]

i love stories like this. :)

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks Jay, very much appreciated! Have a great weekend! :)

[tomken8dy]

A good shotgun is good for things that

break and enter in the night.

THE TINGLER!!! BOOMP! *clack-clack* BOOMP!

[theloathlydaddy]

LOL Knew I could count on you for a solution, Tom!  Haha!!

[tomken8dy]

Nothing says "bye-bye" like 00 Buck. ;-)

[Marilou70]

great video coo vlog.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks so much, Marilou, have an outstanding day :)

[twish1999]

Are those crickets i can hear in the background?

:-)

[theloathlydaddy]

The crickets come out early in the year in central Florida! Great to hear from you, Trish, have a terrific weekend :)

[twish1999]

We don't have them here, but when i hear them i am reminded of when we have been to Turkey as they were really loud there at night and i loved the sound

:-)

[startoverdoitagain]

thanks for sharing

i had tons of nightmares as a kid

one time my father said we weren't allowed to have the light on at night

so i put a towel under the door and lit a candle and crawled under the bed

the bed caught on fire and i got my ass beat that night

thanks again, 10*

[theloathlydaddy]

LOL Wow, what a story! Glad you survived! Have a great weekend :)

[fehquig]

When I was eight or nine I imagined there were dead people in the closet who came to life at night... I had too much of an imagination for my own good.

[theloathlydaddy]

The closet is always one of the scariest things! My daughter place a humidifier in front of the closet door for years, to keep the goblins from coming out! lol I think she's over it now, but it brought back memories of my own childhood fears and I totally understood...

[liz1060]

When I was 8, I woke during the night and saw something in the shadows down the hallway that looked like a person, a bad person, a witch, a monster -- I lay there afraid to move the rest of the night, watching the shadow which I was sure was watching me. The first light of dawn at last revealed the shadow to be the pole lamp by the sofa ... was I ever relieved!

[theloathlydaddy]

LOL great comment, liz! And glad it wasn't a real monster! :)

[Jordmate]

The night can be really scary! My youngest boy found the wolves howling on our camping night give him a real bad time. Sorry to hear your parents separated that must have been really scary. Must have been funny seeing you jump over the seat in the movie theater. Hey your brother Richard has a great name!

[theloathlydaddy]

lol thanks Richard, and wolves howling at a camping site would give me shivers too! Have a great weekend! :)

[YTsHaDoWkNiGhT]

As a kid I too was afraid of the dark, but loved watching scary movies. I still watch them every so often. Nothing like a good scare!

[theloathlydaddy]

Don't know why it's so fun being scared, but it definitely is! Thanks for stopping by, Norman :)

[topaz38]

hey, those little nite-lite things work pretty good if you have one in each outlet ... trust me, I Know :D

[theloathlydaddy]

lol thanks, Lori, I wondered how it was done! :)

[GContelli]

Great vid, interesting subject! :-) I had nightmares when I was a kid after watching the movie Runaway featuring those spider-bots.. It's like I heard them walking in my room BRRR the spiny shivers lol

[mettanc]

i have nightmares, but they are about "bills" and "money issues". i long for the days when i can dream about monsters instead of money.....monsters are far less scary.

always enjoy your stores steve....

michael :)

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Michael, I have nightmares about bills too! :)

[theloathlydaddy]

Spider-bots, and spiders in general, are pretty darn scary!

[loadbrecht]

there was a old movie from to 70 called don't be afraid of the dark

about creatures who grab you from under the bed!!! ahahhahahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[loadbrecht]

I just found the complete movie on youtube

i'm scared to watch it

thanks !!!!!

[theloathlydaddy]

lol watch it anyway, and make a video :)

[theloathlydaddy]

I remember that movie, but don't remember if I saw it or not. I think POLTERGEIST had a scene with something coming out from under the bed that was very scary!

[loadbrecht]

I hear crickets !!! we don't get then till mid summer !

[theloathlydaddy]

Welcome to central Florida, John! :)

[fiwaszewski]

Forrest of the ~GS~GHOSTSeekers

[theloathlydaddy]

Yikes, Forrest, that really does sound pretty frightening! And I can relate, as I have dental surgery and a bone graft to my gums on May 20th! We'll have to compare horror stories LOL Have a great day in the meantime! :)

[anitashelby]

Steve, I don't think I ever had enough sense to be afraid of the dark..lol..of course my mom Introduced me to scarey movies when I was very young & I have loved them ever since..Most of them make me laugh or their very interesting..I can't seem to get enough of Halloween..If I had It my way I would decorate the Christmas tree with Halloween lights..ahahaha..Have a Great weekend My Sweet & Crazy Friend..Hugs from Your Crazy Friend..Anita

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks for a great comment, Anita, Halloween and Christmas are my two favorite holidays, so combining the two seems totally logical lol Have a great weekend :)

[IXGertXI]

It was Hitchcock's "The Birds" for me. Night lights leave wicked cool shadows, btw.

Cheers!

[theloathlydaddy]

THE BIRDS scared me so much, when I saw it on tv as a kid, I couldn't sleep for a week! And I watched the skies for quite sometime, just couldn't trust those darn birds! lol Hitchcock's second scariest movie, next to PSYCHO!

[PappyStu]

If you REALLY want to scare folks don't forget to do your Elvis Impersonation Contest Video! he he he

[theloathlydaddy]

lol will do, Pappy! ;)

[DelisaProductions]

Ahh Oliver Reed, a classic!!

You know I love the scary stuff, Steve. Ha ha!!

[theloathlydaddy]

lol y'know we haven't heard from the Queen of Evil in sometime, wonder what she's up to? ;) All the best to you and Pops, and to Oliver Reed, whatever dark corner you might be hiding in! :)

[Luvbeags]

LOL

I'm not afraid of the dark. I have a .38 by the bed. nah...just kidding

it is only a 410 LOL

Again, KIDDING!

I need it PITCH BLACK to sleep well,

I even put a towel under the door if there is light coming through if other people in the house are still up when I hit the hay ;)

[ClassicComicsMan]

I have a canon by my bed! lol just kidding, it's a bazooka actually :) Great to hear from you, Wendi! :)

[Perroquet51]

I used to be afraid of what was in the closet. Turned out it was just me so I came out.

That Oliver Reed movie was great. It even scared me and I wasn't that young.

For me, it was a peculiar formation in the ceiling plaster directly over my bed that looked like an old woman's head staring down on me.

[ClassicComicsMan]

lol great comment, especially about the closet haha! Have a terrific weekend, Marc! :)

[AeganMontgomery]

Good story, really. However....it reminded me of my own youth and my brothers...I didn't mind closets but it was the basement. We went down in an old basement, they ran out leaving me, and locked the door. Don't like basements at all. ha ha

Aegan

[ClassicComicsMan]

Basements are very scary, I agree! Thanks for stopping by, Aegan! :)

[DeeFromAussie]

Hi Steve I love the night Im afaid of hight lol! hugs Dee

[ClassicComicsMan]

I'm a bit afraid of heights also, we were up in the Smoky Mountains a few years ago, and I found it very difficult to stand on the edge of a mountainside and look down. I had to run backwards, like 15 feet where I felt safe! It was beautiful up there though. Great to hear from you, have a great weekend :)

[Jinxie228]

Ooooooh older siblings could be cruel. My mom use to love to scare me (not nice at all). lol

Once when I was like 3, she put some white cream on her face and acted all crazy and stuff. I stayed in my room all day until my dad came home. Mom said she would do that to me so that I would stay in my room so she could get some housework done. (insert eye roll here)

[theloathlydaddy]

lol that's terrible, but kind of funny anyway, sounds as if her tactics worked though haha!! Great comment, Martha, have a terrific weekend! :)

[TheHonestGuys]

'The Tingler' sounds like a great film...lol. Someone should re-make that in 3D for IMAX! that would be awesome! LOL

THG

[theloathlydaddy]

That movie is still pretty scary, even by today's standards. In 3D and IMAX it might cause worldwide panic lol  Thanks for stopping by, guys!

[randomwritings]

I remebr my little cousin staying with us when we were kids and in our room you could look out the window from bed and all you could see was sky with the clouds going past in the morning. My bro and I convinced our cousin it was a flying house and you never knew where you would be in the morning when it landed. She was hysterical - aren't kids cruel!?

[theloathlydaddy]

LOL that was great, a flying house! Kids have such great imaginations... ah, for innocence lost. Great comment, have an excellent weekend! :)

[frontier33]

Funny you mentioned a night light. My mother always made srue I had a night-light for my room when I went to bed. Then, to my horror, as a young bride of 18, my groom informed me that I will NOT keep my night light on at night. I was so scared I slept with my head under the covers for years. (Hey! That night light saved me, many, many times, from the big, bad boogie man...LOL)

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks for a great comment, and I think the boogie man is off on another website now, so we're pretty darn safe lol :)

[frontier33]

The Tingler??? Wow! I remember that movie and for years I never forgot it and was terrifed. Also, I was terrified of the dark up until I was a young married woman.

[theloathlydaddy]

THE TINGLER certainly had a lasting impact on me, so I definitely can relate to that! Sometimes the darkness still frightens me, but not as often... :)

[squincegoddess]

I was scared to death of dolls and sadly that's what I think I got every Christmas. I had watched an episode on the Twilight zone with a mean talking doll named Tina. She finally killed the man of the house and threatened the mother to be nice to her or else. I still don't like dolls and their creepy moving eyeballs, yuck!

[theloathlydaddy]

Dolls can be very frightening, that's for sure! Interestingly, my mom used to collect dolls, and she never seemed afraid of them. I used to think the dollhouses were kind of creepy, like what scary little beings might be lurking inside..?

[anmoose]

I had the advantage. I was the older brother. Bwahahahahaaaaa...

[theloathlydaddy]

LOL that always works! :)

[hillbilly482]

I'm heading off to bed now. I hope I can sleep. If I have bad dreams I'll blame you Steve. LOL! Great story.

[theloathlydaddy]

LOL Sorry, Bill!  Sweet dreams! :)

[DawndeeDALLAS]

Thanks for sharing your stories...Oh my brother would tell me all the time when I was little that there was a monster under the bed. So I would never let my hands or feet hang over the edge. I remember I was never scared of the dark till I was about 8 and one night I walked into my room and the light was off and at that moment I felt afraid and I do not ever remember ever feeling like that before then...I am still afraid of the dark! A cell phone light works well....

[theloathlydaddy]

I was afraid of letting my hands or feet hang over the edge as well! There was always that "what if?" What if something was under the bed and could reach up and grab me and pull me under! Brrrrrr, it was a darn frightening, if irrational, thought!

[ER92840]

I had to leave a hall light on every night when I was a kid. Great story :) *****'s

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Earl, have a great weekend, and I'm leaving my backporch light on... just in case, y'know... :)

[TamHickey67]

I remember that Hammer Horror movie with Oliver Reed. Apparently, he was an even bigger nightmare in real life.

He and Lee Marvin were making a movie in Mexico and each challenged the other to a tequila drinking competition. It lasted three days straight without sleep and eventually Lee Marvin passed out. A couple of seconds later, so did Ollie lol.

We don't seem to see any of those larger than life characters any more, which is a pity.

[theloathlydaddy]

lol a clash of the titans! I'm not surprised that Oliver Reed won ha ha!!

[edenbainbridge]

i keep 2 big dogs in my bed to keep me safe :)

xoexo

[theloathlydaddy]

I have a cat, not quite as effective lol But she is pretty darn nice :)

[pirrung123]

I just love your videos..and i know all about the tingler..i just love all of the old monster movies...i know them all believe me....when i was about 5 my mother and father use to drop me off at my nans house on a saturdat moring and let me sleep over there and she use to let me watch old monster movies that came on at 11 oclock and she knew all of them and always keep talking about them all of the time...and she took me to my first monster movie dontown and it was the movie gorgo

[theloathlydaddy]

I remember seeing GORGO at the theater in Memphis, and my two brothers were with me. It was a very, very cool movie, in the sense that the giant monster was revealed to be only a baby... and the mama monster was on its way to reclaim her child! By the end of the film, London was a shambles, and the mother and baby monsters were swimming their way happily back into the ocean! What an amazing and exciting, and quite offbeat, film!

[pirrung123]

Yeah it had a happy ending for a monster movie :o)

[christopherinsc1981]

lol well that was nice of your brothers to do. I have always enjoyed the night time. I'm for sure a creature of the night lol I have never seen that movie will have to check it out. Have seen the curse of the werewolf tho that was a pretty good movie. And yeah never understood the turning off the lights to see the ghost.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Chris, CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF is one of my favorite werewolf movies of all time, Oliver Reed was really very frightening, very evil, in that movie. Scariest werewolf ever! To this day, I find it chilling. One of Hammer's finest, and still well worth checking out during one of its rare tv showings...

[IreneK43]

Cool story :o)

Hugs, Irene

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Irene, have a great weekend :)
