In his early days, Kind admits that he went on the hunt for things that would terrify him. Whether it was books, radio shows, or movies, he wanted to be so terrified that he’d be forced to sleep with his light on.

There was one particular radio show at the time called Dimension X that his mother would listen to, but forbade him from listening. So he’d pretend to sleep, then sneak down and secretly listen. Then go to bed scared.

On a different occasion, an acquaintance once jumped out of an old church while King was walking by as a child, and scared him senseless.
