So what scares you?

[KingVoyeur]

Ok, it's a Horror forum, might as well find out what scares people.

Personally, I HATE spiders, they creep me the F out! I also get creeped out by wide-open spaces sometimes, like thinking about being one hundred feet down in the middle of the ocean with nothing else around, or in deep space. *shudder* I'd say that walking down a hallway or forest path in the dark gives me the willies, but I enjoy the adrenaline rush from that too much to really be scared (probably why I (and others) enjoy scary movies, because it's a form of adrenaline rush).

So what scares you?

[Jakester]

Snakes.

Snakes on da muthafuckin' plane.

In general I am scared of bugs, bug bites in particular.

I had Typhus fever when I was 18, so my fear is not irrational - though I will admit that I can be overly paranoid. Whenever I get a bug bite I constantly fret that maybe I've contracted yet another deadly disease.

[sickness]

Spiders, man. Spiders fucking freak me out.

[Scotia]

Old people, the creepy kind that won't look you in the eye.

Midgets. Despite Slamshut's appreciation I find them very unsettling. No offence to the midgets who post on this board. You guys are cool. Not like the mean little prick who worked in my Dad's building. That guy was a fucking goblin.

Other than that, I'm fearless.

[neglet]

I'm not scared of spiders, I just want them to know their place--outside eating mosquitoes, not inside my house, possibly laying their eggs in my underwear drawer. <ick>

What really unsettles me is driving over large/tall suspension bridges. I don't like it, I feel like at any moment the car is going to swerve and plunge over the side. I have nightmares in which I'm driving a car up a bridge and the angle goes up and up and up and up until I'm almost vertical and the car flips over backwards, crushing me. It's not a phobia, I can drive over a bridge if I need to, but I have to focus really hard to not feel freaked out.

Failure. Irrelevance. Powerlessness.

Most of the time spiders don't bother me, but my bf lived in his mother's basement when we started dating, and more than once I woke up with a big sucker crawling up my leg under the covers. Centipedes and milipedes scare me. There is no reason for anything to have that many legs. Plus, they move super fast. Turtlenecks terrify me. It even bothers me to look at other people wearing them. It makes me feel like I am being strangled. I am also afraid of drowning, so I don't swim, and I am afraid of heights, so there are no stepstools in my apartment.

[Jakester]

There's a video floating around the net somewhere of a centipete or millipede killing a mouse. It's freaky.

Think of turtlenecks this way. It should help add a little humor to them and maybe make you a bit less uncomfortable:

Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak man. All day long.

Special thanks to the dearly departed Mitch Hedberg for that one.

[kah]

My mom made me wear them all the time when I was a kid. Something about keeping my neck warm. Crazy, right? Anyways, every time I had to wear one, I'd walk around with my hand on the collar, holding it away from my neck. All day. I even have a hard time with regular t-shirts, and too-small necklaces to this day.

Aside from that, sick- it doesn't make me less afraid of them, but it was a good laugh, so thanks!

[sickness]

Well, at least you got a laugh out of it!

[Jakester]

Kahlan, manybe you should just walk around with no shirt on at all.

I will be honest. Movies haven't scared me in a while. Hostel, Saw, Saw II. Just plain disgusting and nothig original. FD3 was about how they died? Stupid. I remember when movies like Excorcist, The Omen had something. Tension, story, creepyness. Bring that back. Nothing scares me in the movies anymore.

Being abandoned. Forgotten.
And oh yeah, wasps.

[Jakester]

...and you are...?

[jwesty]

my imagination... that's what scares me.

[Asonokirk V 2.0]

What scares me:

What scares me the most is the belief that the enemies of life will be able to continue to fool people. And it truly terrifies me that people simply don't realize how rare and precious we all are.

[Space Tycoon]

Swimming or being underwater is not something that I enjoy, though I can still make myself do it. I don't like the thought that there could be something unseen down there, stalking me. Sharks, particularly Great Whites, are beautiful and terrifying to me.


Authority, in all of it's various forms, frightens me also. Forget vampires, zombies, ghouls--governments have been the real monsters of our time.

I agree. Signs was frightening to me, despite (or because of?) the absence of gore. Reminded me of what it felt like to be a kid watching CE3K for the first time.

Nothing terrifies me more--or fascinates me more-- than the notion of advanced alien intelligence. The likes of which we are powerless, physically and mentally, to combat in any way.

Made all the more frightening by my belief that such beings really and truly exist, and have visited us cavemen often.

Paper towels with puppies and kitties on them scares me. And the Bomb. But that's about it.

[dvdemon78]

You know what scares me the most is how horror films are truly getting worse and more predictable. Tension in music gives the scare away and CGI is and never will be a match for the real thing. Could you imagine how dull John Carpenters THE THING would have been with CGI creatures.

[kawaiidragonfoe821]

Believe it or not zombies scare me more then anything. I have had countless nightmares of one of the scenes from George Romero's movies playing out LOL. Also bioterrorisim like that in 28 days later or resident evil scare me too.

Spiders also terrify me, but not movies about huge, mutant spiders. Movies like Arachnophobia, because they are so real-like. Movies about torture, & captivity creep me out too, because there is such a feeling of hopelessness & dismay.

[rappites]

Losing my kids to some sick mother frakker. . . I am always scared of a big trip. Like I will die before I get to my destination.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Blood and Knee Jerk scares do not scare. Most of the time, they annoy.

David Lynch has the ability to get under my skin and creep me out at times, but those are still somewhat abstract.

Signs had several great moments (the use of sound, the silhouette on the barn, the pantry, and that freaking birthday party video :eek:), made even better for their lack of gore or cgi...or any special effects)

What creeps me out the most, gets down inside and leaves me with a bleak and disturbed feeling (more than almost any "scary" movie ever has and probably ever will) long after viewing is something like the 1976 movie NETWORK, 30 years in retrospect an apocalyptic and prophetic vision, more than we ever thought it would be. Satire on steroids. And true horror, because we're all living in it.

Good night and Pleasant dreams, everyone! :)

[colmatrix]

Demons...walking into my basement and seeing a figure standing and facing a corner (got that from Blair Witch, whew that was scary)...going to drink Mountain Dew and realizing it's not Dew but other yellow stuff...little kids laughter in places where it has no right being (in the woods, in space)...and my childhood fear, Freddy Kreuger laughing and opening my closet door with his claws and peeking out at me.

[vala]

Spiders freak me out. As do moths and daddy-long-legs (cranefly). I also have a phobia about walking over wooden slatted bridges. I know it is daft, but I am so scared I am going to fall through the gap. I don't like flying either.

[kikoshoub]

Hmmm... what scares me?

SPAM

[mckracken]

what scares me? I know what doesnt.
I think the red stuff scares me, as does a lot of other people but only when it is done convincingly, not spraying all over the place.
Needles scare me. Syringes that are bigger than my head that goes straight into my arm.
drowning scares me, partly because the silence is deafening when you're submerged under water, unable to take a breath. Also because drowning in the ocean, if you're under water, you're in this big place where you just might never be located in time but on the flip side once you go under, you're all alone in a little confined space.

horror movies without any foreshadowing to the inevitable murders. You know the ones, where the victim is in the bedroom doing what shes doing and everything about the scene plays as if nothing out of the ordinary is happening, then, in the background of one of the shots is a figure.... its not moving, and she doesnt react and neither does the music. In the next shot its in focus and its a coatrack, which gives the audience a sigh of relief... ahhh, she's not gonna die... then without warning BOOM the killer strangles her from behind. Then the keyboard synth music is pounding away BOMP- BOMP- BOMP -BOMP -BOMP- BOMP!! while her feet are shown suspended off the ground twitching wildly.
of course the killer busts out a 2nd story window and jumps to the parking lot below without a scratch and dissapears over a fence, down into a backyard, only stopping to look into a window of a house where the girl is innocently taking a shower, thats his next victim... he'll get her soon enough.

heh... McK

White Anglo Saxon Protestants? :eek:

Especially after church on Sunday.

[kah]

Tell me about it. Where do you think they go after church? That's right. The bar for bloody marys.

[tstone]

Being in a play and forgetting my lines. All of them.

[Space Tycoon]

I'm a WASP who doesn't go to church. Leaves more time for drinking...

Walking around in a crowded area in my underwear. :(
