Is it normal to be terrified of your home at night?

Ok, I love horror movies but for some reason I am 23 and terrified of windows at night. I have to have every crack covered before I can sleep, doors locked, windows checked and still have a bathroom light on. I feel like such a dork. I also have to turn lights on as i go through the house and turn them off one by one behind me so Im not left in the dark is this at all normal? =/

    Buy a gun, it cures all fear and if there's something outside just shoot at it and don't think twice about it.

    Im a fan of scary movies too which is why Im the same exact way you are! Every tv in the house has to be on a night (when Im alone) and I turn on every light and check under beds and closets and behind shower curtains and once I check .. I turn the night lights on in the bedrooms and the living rooms and kitchen and turn off all the main lights on the ceiling. lol. I feel ya for sure

    It could be caused by watching all the horror movies.

    Well, it is absolutely normal.For example, late at night, when I have to go for a glass of water, I turn on all the lights and when I come back, I turn them all off.
    And, I don't know why I'm afraid of looking the windows at night.It kinda scares me, especially I watch a horror movie, I think the ''monster'' or the bad character from the movie will smash the window and grab me:))I know it's silly.It's just in our minds.

    I do the exact same thing! I try not to watch horror movies, but I can't help myself...whatever you do, don't watch this Japanese horror movie called Pulse, I was terrified of dark shadows on the walls for weeks.

    I do that all the time. I keep off horror movies, even though most times I really want to watch them. And the ones that I see haunt me for days, months. Depends on the day/mood I guess. But don't be afraid. I'm 22 and I still sleep with some light around me. Not bright. But some light.
    P.S. I hate mirrors at night, therefore have none in my room. -)
