Banshee scene scared me sh**less!!
My God, I was scared to death that I had nightmares. TWO, in fact, that I clearly remember.
1) I scream hysterically insane whenever I heard her wailing right OUTSIDE my bedroom window every single night. Doctors and my mother would restrain me while I scream horrifically "MAKE IT STOP!!!!" Geeeezus, it almost felt like The Exorcist or something.
2) Imagine you're in a fairly big house, it's dark and stormy outside, and you keep hearing this unusual sound coming from downstairs, all the way down to the basement. That's what happened in this dream. I get up from bed, creep down the stairs, following the sound. I walk to the door leading to the basement and descend down the stairs. The place is dark (of course) with vague dim lights, the floor is covered with gray or green mist and there across from me is the banshee herself. She even spoke to me, more like hissing, "What are you doing here?! Get out!" I didn't move of course, you can guess why. So she makes a loud scream-like wail from the movie. And that's all I can remember.
I never wanted to see that movie again, particularly the banshee scenes. I became afraid of walking out of my room at night when the living room is completely dark. Remember when Darby's daughter was lying in bed unconcious and he heard the banshee's wailing outside the house and he leaves the room, opens the front door and there, floating up to him is the banshee's scary-beyond-all-reason face?
I sound like a mental wreck, don't I?
