20 Things We'd Never Do Thanks To Horror Movies

5. Sleep With A TV In The Room

This is a very personal and very specific entry, and probably the result of The Ring being one of the first proper horror films I saw when I was small. The Evil Dead and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre were funny; Battle Royale was dark but entertaining; but The Ring was pure terror, and ten years on I still refuse to sleep with a television set in the room. I think everyone has their one irrational fear: I know people who are terrified of clowns and people who can't be in a room with china dolls, but mine is an acute fear that a small black-haired girl might come crawling out of my TV in the middle of the night. I don't think there's much more I can say on this topic, so let's delve straight into the last four entries on this list, which make up a selection of decidely unwise horror holidays.

I'm a completist. I love platformers, indie games, bad horror movies and Joss Whedon. You can find me over on Twitter at @ejosully, where I talk about largely unrelated things.
