I didn't scare easily (still don't) but these things got me for a while.

oh yeah Unsolved Mysteries for sure

It was the music. Very haunting.

When I was little it was Creature Features.

The opening theme music got me. It's giving me pause thinking of it now.

Oh, and midgets, dwarves, little people.

When I was a kid in the mid 80s I caught the original Westworld movie on TV and that messed me up for a while. I also think around that
same time I was afraid of that TV series "V". I really don't enjoy horror movies at all.

Up until I was 9 years old I lived on the 6300 block of North Keystone. There was an old German lady who lived across the street who had a tiny little dog named Fritzy. Fritzy was an absolute motherfucker. He was vicious as shit. He was also often able to slip out of his yard. When he did he would come charging toward the nearest human yapping and stripping his teeth. He bit many kids in the neighborhood. That little fucker would chase my friend Lisa Cannata and me when we were on our bikes. I remember once he got hold of my pant leg. I was kicking and screaming and trying to pedal as fast as I could. I was terrified of Fritzy. Eventually, the mothers on the block banded together and went over and told the old frau that she was going to have to do something about Fritzy or get rid of his ass. She put a muzzle on him. Looking back it's kind of sad. Train your fuckin' dog.

Were you and your friend in the habit of wearing "towels" on your head like a couple of "goofs"? That would probably explain Fritzy's animus towards you--unless I'm getting my Fritzies mixed up again.
