Ironicly I actually like the dark and feel safer in the dark.

When I was a child I always turned my face to the wall as I was afraid of the dark, something might creep out of the corner and scare me...
Fortunately, there was always enough light from the street-lights in the room, and the windows didn't have blinders or shutters, so their dimmed light could come in. I still don't understand people who can only sleep in total or almost total darkness with blinders or shutters on. I feel so much more comfortable when there's dim light in the room where I sleep.
As for TV sets, if there are flashing lights from them, I can't sleep. If they are not muted, it's much worse. Some old TVs have noises even with the sound turned off. How can people fall asleep with TVs on? 
Scary movies, oh yes. They even included ET for me. Fortunately, I was already an adult when I saw Close Encounters Of The Third Kind... Recently, a leaf fell down in the middle of the night from one of my houseplants, and as it was tumbling down across the leaves, it sounded so creepy I had a sort of panic attack over it... Brrrr....
