Back in the 1950's, when I was only in kindergarten or first grade, I saw a preview on TV for The Last Days of Pompeii. People were running though the streets on fire while Mt. Vesuvius erupted. I didn't crap my pants, but that night I had a nightmare in Technicolor and woke up screaming. It took my mom about an hour to calm me down.
