Dr Who: This is how I liked to be frightened when I was a kid. Metal pepperpots and monsters I could hide from never did it for me. Give me nightmares of shadows and gas masks, lost children who never quite leave, radios that switch on by themselves, and little hands through letterboxes; Yes, scare me the way I like to be scared.

Gothika: This is what never scared me as a child; lots of blood, loonies, screaming ghosts and stupid psycopaths. Made me laugh from the age of 6 up. Now, it just bores me.

The FA cup final: Scare me with the raddled face of Alex 'Where's me nag?' Ferguson as Nemesis laughs once more and Man Utd lose a game they really deserved to win. Oh, my innocent joy when Shrek, Donkey and Fiona got to walk right past the cup without touching it. How could Rooney possibly be Man of the Match? surely the man of the match was the Arsenal goalkeeper, Lehman, who kept Man U off the goal-line.

Eurovision Song Contest: Way too scary. Roll on Sunday.

I'm very surprised! Did it scare you?

Yep, but not as much as it scared Helen (who I went to the cinema with).

To clarify, it wasn't the psychopath that scared me - it was the what happened to Halle Berry's character that was terrifying.

Her incarcaration/ the world that wouldn't believe her/somthing else?

I ask cause I'm very interested in the nature of fear. So few films have really ever scared me, but the ones that did stayed with me for years.
