A Blue theme runs through mine, from childhood 
First off we had an lp of Dougal and the Blue Cat, and listening to that scared the beejeesus out of us
And I used to get nightmares from giants that roamed the land, dropping things on people and turning the land grey
It wasn't until many years later that I realised they were the Apple Bonkers in the Blue Meanie army from the Yellow Submarine

Amityville 2.....rubbish film but the book scared me so much! Read it as a teenager so read it again in my 30s to see if it was an age thing but nope....really scary book ..and I read lots of horrors, Stephen King being my favourite author...you have been warned!  |

"Perfume by Patrick Suskind. Found it very disturbing "
It *was* disturbing yes, but I found his descriptive powers were amazing and on that level, I enjoyed it.
As an adult, my scariest book will always be Susan Hill's Woman in Black ... there's just something so creepy about it which burrows deep into your psyche. And as a precocious kid of 11 or so, I scared myself stupid buying a very detailed encyclopedia of British witchcraft and made my mum hide it in her wardrobe so it couldn't 'get' me until I was about 16 |

Oh, I enjoyed it too and I think it was his descriptive powers that made it so disturbing but the book was supposed to be disturbing in the first place  |
