Vaguely related, considerably off topic:
... As a child I had a recurring nightmare about being chased by essentially demon possesed pants.
Because of this goddamned book:

Thank you Dr. Seuss, for literally authoring (and illustrating!) my nightmares.
My nightmare version was basically me trying to put my pants on for school, except oh no! a fucking poltergeist has possesed them, they are alive, they are bad, and they are chasing me.
Literally started having the nightmares the same night after reading this.
As a child I kept having a nightmare of a sentient kite chasing me through a hotel. I don't think any media exists I picked this up from so maybe kid brains just love producing nightmares of getting chased by random objects.
This is so bad and hilarious at the same time. I feel for you, even if my laughing makes me look like a liar (艸≧▽≦)｡
