I've never been really scared by LotR, but I used to have a recurring nightmare when I was about 7 or 8. I dreamt that I was in our garden, and Smaug was flying towards me very slowly, and I was terrified, but I couldn't move to run away. He just kept getting nearer and nearer, and I would eventually wake up petrified. You know that feeling when you know you have to scream or run, but nothing works? I used to get so scared that my parents almost confiscated my copy of The Hobbit.
