I used to be afraid of sliding doors. Whenever I went shopping with my parents I used to run through as fast as I could in case they closed on me and crushed me.

I still dont like them.....you cant tell what their thinking.

Revolving doors had that effect on a lot of people and still does.

What scared you the most as a child? Was it the monster under your bed?....The closet door being open?...The creepy house down the street?....

Personally...When I was lil...I would run and jump in my bed b/c I thought there was a monster under my bed that would grab my ankles...sadly...I still do it....there really is something wrong with me  happy.gif ...lol

also i tied my hands together because i was afraid that if they dangled off they would like sneak out and drag me under and decapitate my head! ph34r.gif

The movie - The Exorcist


I still have trouble watching that one. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it even worse.

That thing is kinda freaky isn't it! I almost cracked my head open one night playing that game. Something jumped out at me and it scared me so bad I jumped and cracked my head on the headboard of my bed. w00t.gif It hurt, but that game was awsome in my eyes. Freaky, but cool. My only complaints are it was really long when it seemed like it should have ended about three levels ago and that you had to use the flashlight all the time. hmm.gif

But yeah, back on topic now.

Doom 3 isn't scary, how can you see something that isn't there (which i want to say it is too dark wink2.gif ).

The thing that scared me as a kid, and as a teen, and adult and probably will haunt me till my grave (and perhaps beyond) is the most evil presence ever seen, The Tax Collector. This man is pure EVIL !! devil.gif

I would say the movie ALIEN summed up about every nightmare I had as a child.

I was always scared of death, I don'#t think anyone ever really gets over the idea of it. However, if early memory serves me correct, the ghost in the library in ghostbusters and that scary paining of that guy in ghostbusters II used to freak me out. in the dark i would imagine they were coming aorund the corner, which in heindsight was probably not the best thing to do. i always had trouble with weird noises in the house, and moving into a older house after didnt help, especially when it has a cuple of friendly, yet still spooky voices in the corner of my lounge,

Stephen King's "IT" scared the sh** out of me,

everytime i would walk up the stairs alone in the dark i imagined that creepy clown running after me so i ran as fast as i could up the stairs ph34r.gif

Not long term scary, but when they jump out at you, it can startle you. Besides, I still think that it would scare the crap out of a young kid. hmm.gif

I was afraid of something being under my bed. I was sure it was going to grab my legs and pull me under. Open closets, the dark and windows with the curtains open at night. I was scared to death of marionettes!!! I'm still afraid of praying mantis'...

That was so many yrs ago! Now days, my bed is on the floor. No room for a monster anymore. I have to set the timer on the TV at night cuz I cant sleep in a quiet room. I make sure my closets closed every night. My curtains are always closed. I'm not afraid of marionettes anymore (I just don't like them at all!) I'm still terrified of praying mantis'. Bugs should NOT be able to turn their head to look at you!!! Its not right!!! Dam, I sound twisted! blink.gif

Oh well i wasn't scared of doom 3, mostly because the performance is (literally) shocking (pc rather slow) so i could see my enemies coming, get myself a cup of coffee, drink it, do the dishes and then shoot it (and hope my bullets hit). I played it for one day, i'll keep it till i get a better pc.

What scares me... hmm... i'm not really *scared* but i feel a certain awe for the Wild Hunt (i do live in a mostly germanic country), even if you're (almost) certain it doesn't exist, you still keep an eye out for it. Also i'd rather not run into the Death Coach (literally and figurically). Oh yeah, and kludde too, as in one of my previous posts.
Xoisk el Soņador
coast to coast AM late at night...those crazy people on open lines!

Ive always had a matress on the floor. so I never feared the "monster under the bed".
Mr Ed
I was sacred of being tickled, no joke! If any of you have ever seen postman pat then you may know who miss/mrs? Goggins? is. Look on google images if you don't. I used to have a recuring nightmare that I would walk into my mum's room and then this old lady would pop out from under her dresser and tickle me to death! Image the torment I sufferede, knowing that my nemesis was laughing at me every other morning on BBC1!

w00t.gif Sounds like my computer! Lol. Anyway, I didn't know they made it for the computer? I played it on the Xbox...most of the time you couldn't see your enemies 'cause it was so dark, but you could definately hear them...
Cernunnos
the darn thing is out about half a year for the pc if i'm not mistaken. i'd like to see it as an interactive slide show...

I am a very odd teenager. I get scared very easily, but that is probably because I am a major in scary things. I have always had an unimaginable fear of the dark. This fear extremely escalated when I saw IT. I watched the first half and went and slept in my parents room. Then I started watching unexplained mysteries, X-files, and reading books. I also started listening to coast to coast, and I started learning a lot. I also saw the Mothman Prophecies, and that might have helped.

Believing in monsters in the woods (I lived next to the woods) and the fear of the dark. I guess I got over it by walking into the woods at night and saw that there was nothing to fear. Then I felt pretty stupid. tongue.gif

I know, what the heck is wrong with those people. As an afterthought, I've had two paranormal expirences. One is when I was in the middle of nowhere with my boyscout troop. My friend said he saw something outside, so we went out to investigate. I looked where he said he saw smothing and I saw something on 4 legs (at least I think that how many legs it had) and it darted from a tree to another. It was about 4 feet high. My other one was when I was listening to coast to coast AM and I heard a load gasp, and it felt like it came from the inside of my head. My dad saw a ghost once when he was playing hide and seek when he was a kid. He said it looked like a braichiosarus.
F. Mulder
Woods also scare me, I think it was from when I saw "The Village", you guys might laugh at me, but look at my post above. I get scared easily.

I would have to say OZ and the wicked witch of the west with her little flying monkeys. Showing my age here. It was in black and white when I was lil and scared the crap out of me but I just had to keep watching the movie! tongue.gif

I was REALLY scared of Slash and the T-1000. Today its just plain laughable. I had numerous dreams in which Slash was some villian delimbing someone. He stole my dads eyes and sold them on a blackmarket in one dream.

When I was a child I was afraid of the dark, ghosts, and when someone would drive down a steep hill. I thought the cars breaks would go. blush.gif

But as i said before, the tax collector remains my numero uno fear... Guy gives me the creeps... I'm sure you guys all agree (although i am paid by the government because i work for the government... can't they just leave my money alone???)...

LOL! I remember that movie! Was on holiday at the time. Took me a long time to go back in the sea. Got my head screwed on since then (except for the Cybermen! God knows why they still get to me.)

jaws came out the summer of 77 i think.i saw it 3 times at the cinema.i have'nt been back in the ocean since then,but not cause of fear.the reason i stayed out of the water was i earned tremendous respect for what sharks can do to us puny little humans.
The Skeptic Eric Raven
Clowns. They freaked me out alot.
Cernunnos
I can't stand sleeping with the blinds rolled up, they have to be rolled down. It has nothing to do with fear, just the fact that an ancient belief (some may have heard of this) that if you die your soul goes up to heaven, but if your window is open an army of skyghosts comes and claim your soul.

I don't like mirrors much. Especially when my back is turned to it. It's like as if it's a portal of some sort to another demension or someone's watching me thru it. I don't like it also because of the "bloody mary" deal and the movie "the candyman" Anyone else with this problem?

When I was little, my mum used to do hairdressing for some people where we live. She'd visit their houses usually, and I'd have to go along too, as I was only a about six or seven. One lady had a huge, old house. I'm talking HUGE old English house, and going there was like going back in time.

Anyway, the old lady who lived there was fine, but whenver I had to go through the house on my own, it freaked me out.

There were all these old portraits on the wall of people, just as you see it in these old horror movies(with the moving eyes!). I honestly couldn't look at these paintings, the eyes were just so penetrating, and I don't know what it is about those type of pictures, they have a sinister feeling about them. Even though I wasn't looking at them, it felt as though they were watching me.

shudder.
