"My parents realised quite early on that I was a sensitive soul after I dragged my mom to the bathroom and told her I didn't want to go back into the movie theatre because I was scared of the witch in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. It was Disney from there on in. Sadly, my friends' parents didn't know this, and I used to spend every afternoon after school being looked after by a neighbour who had a son in the same class as me. We were often left alone with the TV, and he somehow got hold of a VHS of Steven King's It, which he made a 7 or 8-year-old me watch. To this day, I'm frightened by storm drains and paper boats." — Gemma Cartwright, UK senior editor
