.... Phobia.. (shivers} say it out loud nice and slow,  the word alone is creepy and fear alone is true horror to many, many people and films and books well alot!  and well, fear, and what is scarey or horror, but Phobias. For this newsletter I am going dip us into the lurk warm water of ... drum roll.....  ...... Achluophobia. or Scotophobia, Nyctophobia. I mean what is horror, when it not scary?
I see some of your dazed looks, and well I see others that know and well I think we all have had this fear at one point of another in our lives, and know as I child it was a deep fear of mine. It is used in all horror and well horror would not do well without it. Would you worry about the boogeyman or the hitchhiker at night or the woods that were too dark well if it wasn't dark? This is more deeply commmon in children.
Achluophobia can be defined as continual, unusual and superfluous fear of darkness or the dark places, and you all know, well know now, that I so LOVE!! the dark, so fear not, in something that I think evil feeds off, really like a fine christmas dinner. Nightmares add to this fear greatly too, a stuffed toy may appear a monster with many teeth and bulging eyes in the dark. Yikes!~ 
Symptoms of Achluophobia:
Normally, Achluophobia or the fear of darkness or night time is characterized by symptoms like irregular heartbeat, rapid breathing, nausea, shortness of breath, overall feelings of dread, and sweating. There are still some other noted symptoms, but their occurrence depends greatly on the experiences related with the fear of darkness
This are ways to help those cope with fear of the dark, and even meds, for those who fear is buried so deep, that this fear, basically robs them of any peace. I will be true and say I feel of anyone who does, to such a robbing effect. I found most was to symbolically keep the lights on.  and perhaps endure this fear of the dark, and or dark places, or the night. Put yourself in dark places and with endurance and a strong will to overcome this fear, through months and perhaps years this fear will fade, I cannot say I would want to be in the dark if I feared it so. Trust a nighlight unless you have the fear of shadows, which well I won't start on.
I still remember needing a night light as a child, so that I could see the evil things coming down our hallway for me, till one time my older sister stated that if I was in the dark and without the light perhaps they wouldn't find me, and in my childhood logic that was a brillant idea and my fear faded. If I could not see the evil than the evil could not see me.   I think eveyone can relate to being afraid of the dark at one time or another in their lives. It is one of the most common, and most well known fears, from the many, huge list of fears that people experience.
