Is it normal i'm afraid of peter pan?

I know it's supposed to be a fun children's tale, but I find Peter Pan to be absolutely terrifying. The thought of some guy's shadow creeping around my room is terrifying enough but the thought of some elf like (whatever he is) guy sneaking into my room at night and taking me to an alternate world far away from here is petrifying. When I visit my grandmother and my little cousins are watching the movie, I have to leave the room. It gives me nightmares. The first time I saw Peter Pan I was 8 and while other kids enjoyed it, I couldn't sleep at night because of how much it frightened me. I've had nightmares where Peter Pan would come into my room and take me away. Funny thing is, I love horror films and they won't bother me at all, but I simply cannot do Peter Pan. Is this normal? Does anyone else find a children's movie or story to be horrifying?

    This probably won't help, but the guy who wrote Peter Pan was likely a pedophile.

    Peter Pan's MO of dragging unsuspecting children to isolated places has similarities to serial killers doesn't it? Intriguing indeed.

    I've always felt that way about Santa: a morbidly obese man that enslaves little people in a frozen fortress all year round whilst he stalks children, always watching them, before breaking into people's houses in the middle of the night, eating their food, and giving packages to their kids. He should be arrested.

    There's a book detailing the dark side of Peter Pan, as well as the author, J.M. Barrie. I've never read it. I've only seen it in a catalog.

    It is kind of freaky when you put it that way. A scene from lion king 2 gave me nightmares for months when I was a little child, maybe 13 years old and it's creeping me out thinking about it as a 23 year old, so I don't think it's out of the norm.

    He only takes kids who are willing to go to Neverland.
    He always returns them home once the kids get homesick.

    Good thing Peter Pan doesn't really exist then, right? It would make some sense if you were afraid of something real, but something that doesn't exist? Now that WOULD be just plain silly, wouldn't it?
