There was the boogeyman hiding in your closet, under your bed, you never really knew what he looked like, but you imagined it was this. I had a really wide closet. There was the threat of nuclear war, kidnapers who kept the back of milk cartons filled with interesting breakfast reading material, great white sharks, quicksand. Remember quicksand? Yeah, we'd be busy looking out for quicksand, and then we get hit by a drunk driver. 

Also, there were cults, you know, like the Manson family, and they were not much of a family. I'm glad I got out of that early. So that's eight fears, some are not real, others mostly overblown. So I envy the kids today, not just because they're taller. They just have much more to be scared of. There's this, and this, and this, and this, but worse, the streets are filled with nightmarish characters that would make Freddy Krueger call an Uber instead of walking the four blocks home.
