after I used that expression the other day, then stopped to wonder what it actually
® means – anyone know?
is it another member of the family, or unrelated?

"Getting the willies" will often give you "goose-bumps". It is a manifestation of fear and usually breeds more fear (or a propensity for it). The after shock of terror (Vampire inflicted) are "willies"... (from what I can remember
)

This is just a SWAG (S tupid W ild-A s* G uess), but could the term come from the old Little Willie rhymes?

I think the Little Willie rhymes aren't *that old. Musick seems to have pinned down what it *means; now as to where it *came from...
