YES YES YES!!!! Oh my freaking God! I was the same!! I decided to be really really brave and try and watch Signs... Big mistake!! I was cuddling a giant floor cushion and crying, and then that bit you just described (The birthday party in Brazil?) made me scream my head off and run away, but then I didn't want to open my bedroom door, so I had to ring my Mum off my mobile (like hell was I going back in the living room!) for her to come and open it! Then I wanted a drink, but didn't want to open the garage door (We keep all our drinks in there) so she had to do that for me too! And I carried a piece of tin foil in my locket for months afterwards (You'll get that if you've seen the film!)..... I still don't like going outside in the dark to feed the rabbits for that reason! My Mum then told me the ending the next day and I wouldn't sleep for two months (I got by purely on power naps, coffee, coffee beans, etc....)... When I had to go into the cupboard under the stairs I brandished a rolling pin every time..... It messed me up for life.... I think it should be higher than a certificate 12 to be honest....
I can't watch X Files either.... Can you remember the programme 'Strange but True'? I was only a kid when that was on and it scared the crap out of me!!
I can remember being little once and deciding I wanted to get rid of my fear of aliens. I bought a kids book about aliens, because I'd read that the best way to get rid of a phobia was to learn about it.... Big mistake.... I couldn't even sleep with the book in my room.... I had to lock it in a box, then lock it in the shed, and even then I'd keep looking out my window at the shed because I was convinced Aliens would see it.... In fairness I was only 7!
