Honestly? ET scared little me more than it probably should have! That little bastard could pop up anywhere and looked even creepier when he was sick.
Hate that guy.
100% agree, this was going to be my answer. I still occasionally have night terrors about him and I'm in my mid-30s.
You're so right about how creepy he looked when he was sick - all pale and white like a 1980s dog poo.
My brother! It didn’t help that a family member made a E.T. lamp with light up eyes, finger tip, and heart. It flickered. And my parents put it next to my bed. I remember hiding under the sheets from it.
Mom had the gall to gift it to me for a house warming present lol. Its in a box….somewhere.
Apparently it was originally supposed to be a horror movie but don't quote me, haven't checked

You can’t control me!
It seems you’re right.
Spielberg was apparently planning a horror film called Night Skies that didn’t get made but material was supposedly reused for ET.
