Um', can I get a HELL yeah? Can I get an amen? First off the absolute worst fear of them all. Any parent worth calling one was scared. I am sad to say that this is one of the few Stephen king books I read after I saw the movie, and both, a long time after they came out, ( actually I walked in to the scene in the attic when I was a young teen and it creeped me out so bad I skipped it- especially after realizing the old lady had a disease that is real and could cause those effects, )so I was already a father by the time I watched the movie- with a precocious toddler who would go from lying on her belly sucking several fingers at once looking incapable of any movement above a crawl, which usually was all she chose to do, it was easier and more fun. But once in a while, quick as anything she'd jump up and toddle-run faster than you could believe at something,or just away. When the first scene with the truck happened, and he saved the kid, I was pale and heart pounding- I almost threw up. I knew then that he'd hit on a worse fear for me than any supernatural thing, for me because it was all too real, entirely possible.
