Ok, this might sound like the ramblings of a mad English woman.....
But I was totally, seriously affected by the original Amityville film

Even now, all these (many!) years later - if I wake up in the middle of the night and it's 3.15 a.m.... I shut my eyes really tight, won't get up even if I need the loo, and still get in a bit of a state....and remember that that's happened during the night
