Growing up I thought killer bees and quicksand we're going to be a lot more prevalent than they actually are.

I do remember a time during childhood when the most frightening thing I knew about was killer bees. It was a more innocent time. That's the trauma.

Little did we know that it was old men in politics that was actually more frightening for our world.

No, mid 70s but try as I might ffs, I can't remember which of these was the culprit. I want to say the John Saxon one, because it was always John Saxon. But even then I am unsure.

For me, it was Night of the Lepus. So scary

I've been afraid of bees since the 80s when I was a kid - I didn't need shit.
