SVK #42: Jessica's Monster Nightmare

[daphne_23]

 I’m still waiting for SVH #140, Please Forgive Me, to arrive from the library, so thought in the meantime I would do a quick recap of one of the two Sweet Valley Kids titles I own...

but then, I did use to be so frightened of the Quentin Blake illustration of the Grand High Witch sans mask in Roald Dahl’s The Witches that I had to skip that page every time, so perhaps I am not the best person to judge. Anyway, the class agree it’s fairly frightening and stop teasing Jess.

Oh man, you too?

I'm even lamer. I used to be afraid of the sunken ships on my Little Mermaid blanket.

I'm glad I'm not the only wimp! I'm still afraid of the "Gremlins" movies. Shudder.

I still can't watch E.T.! That little alien scares me half to death. D:

I completely second this, and used to skip the page as well. The notion of the painting featuring the missing girl also caused much distress.

Other things that scared me as a child included a scene in Raymond Briggs' book 'Father Christmas Goes on Holiday (Big FC gets trolleyed in Vegas and has a nightmare involving a vomiting cow); and a picture of a diseased gum in my mum's Miriam Stoppard health book. I claim the lame crown!

Oh man, that drawing gave me nightmares as a kid, and I would totally skip the page as well!!
