Was anyone else absolutely terrified as a child seeing the movie “E.T. The Extra Terrestrial�
It couldn’t have been just me lol. We waited in a line down the block in the 80’s to see it with my Mom. Whole theater laughed and clapped and oohed and awed while I trembled in fear. When he shuffled out of the shed- I was like, kill it quick before it gets Elliot! I’ve always had a deep, innate fear of aliens and this movie really brought it out. I pretended to be into it, because every kid around me was covered in merch and back then being different meant being a social pariah. They (ET’s) were gathering plants, sure, but when would their list start to include mammals?
