I Loved Barney... I remember when I was in elementary school, I would get up extra early just to watch Barney for an hour on TV before school.
Then a Halloween night came...
Now, I loved the hell out of Barney on TV but for some reason, when a person dressed up as Barney came to my house while I was giving out candy, I nearly shit my pants and lost it. It freaked me out so bad. I don't know why, but Barney was just less scary on TV rather than right in front of me at my doorstep, I suppose.
