In the story it only gave you a brief description of what the characters looked like. The story told some more things

Did you know that fear of the dark is common not only amongst children, but adults, too? In the play There’s an Alligator Under My Bed, A Nightmare in my Closet, and Something in My Attic, by Mercer Mayer, there are three acts, each depicting a monster, or “nightmare,” preventing children from falling asleep. The purpose of this play was to show the audience that things that are frightening may not be as scary as they appear, to portray how to find the courage to overcome fears, and to show the audience

If an insect’s life was a horror movie, this is how it would start: Scary string music. Glistening, shiny glue drops. A close-up of a sundew plant and—KERPOW! The sudden flick of a green tentacle flinging the insect into the air. The screen goes dark. The monster in this film? Drosera glanduligera, a carnivorous sundew from southern Australia. Plants.

In 2001 as a young kid I watched a movie called Jeepers Creepers. The story of a demon coming out of hibernation to murder people was terrifying. Scenes from the movie had a large amount of gore and graphic deaths of the characters that it made you have fear of this creature.

Marilyn thought that she died. Even if not yet, anyway she would die soon: two days without water, in the dark and cold, on concrete floor. Though, she didn’t already feel the thirst, or damp cold, and she didn’t cry anymore. When she heard some noises upstairs, and then shuffling of the feet on the stairs, she raised herself from floor with a timid hope.

As a child, I loved movies, so my parents showed me movie after movie. For the most part, I would watch child-friendly movies that would lighten my heart and stick in my mind. One day, my father decided to show me a movie called Gremlins, thinking it would be appropriate for me. However, that wasn’t the case.
