To put a bit of a twist on this...
When I was little, I had frequent nightmares - the ghost / closet monster / bogeyman / horned demonbeast variety. I had to sleep with a nightlight. There was always a sense of helplessness to the dreams.
Then, something wild happened. I saw the movie Ghostbusters for the first time, and something clicked in my little mind: "Wait, we don't have to take crap from ghosts?"
I never had monster / ghost nightmares again - it stuck in my mind that if four goofy guys could put on backpacks and beat up ghosts, then I could, too, in my dreams, and I went from hunted to hunter.
So, yeah, Ghostbusters busted the ghosts in my childhood nightmares. Thank goodness for that movie.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
