Growing up I thought killer bees and quicksand we're going to be a lot more prevalent than they actually are.

Quicksand is not like they show in TV anyway.

My Girl caused way more bee trauma than anything else.

I do remember a time during childhood when the most frightening thing I knew about was killer bees. It was a more innocent time. That's the trauma.

Little did we know that it was old men in politics that was actually more frightening for our world.

Is this the one where the family buys a house that has them living in the walls?

Mine was Arachnophobia, the movie that caused me arachnophobia.

No, mid 70s but try as I might ffs, I can't remember which of these was the culprit. I want to say the John Saxon one, because it was always John Saxon. But even then I am unsure.

I've been afraid of bees since the 80s when I was a kid - I didn't need shit.
