What was your most irrational fear as a child?

When I was a kid I was obsessed with everything that had to do with Barbie. One day when I was 6 my dad let me watch the movie Child's Play about the serial killer whose spirit inhabits a doll and goes to town killing people left and right. From then on I feared my dolls would come to life while I was sleeping and kill me. I used to rip every dolls head off and put the heads in one drawer and the bodies in another. I figured if they were going to kill me in my sleep they were gonna have to really work for it.

With all due respect, WTF was wrong with your dad?
