As a young kid, I would quite often have Nightmares that strongly resemble the images, ideas and theme of this short. In my dreams i was terrified of lights (sounds very strange i know) They would all start with me walking down the stairs past the hall light that was on the wall and i would have to shout or scream at it before it screamed or shouted at me, also the lights would talk to me and flicker, i still get slight chills if a light dims or flickers!
