I don't really have much to fear... except:

1) Spiders. I dunno what it is, I'm not afraid to kill em, and I don't mind if they crawl on my skin... but I don't want to ever touch em or kill em with my bare hands. I had a lab experiment where we had to grab a live cricket and put it into a test tube, it just felt gross and I even had gloves on.
2) I used to be afraid of clowns and dolls... but I don't really care anymore. Clowns are only creepy if they come out of sewer drains, and dolls... I don't mind them unless they have glass eyes and talk to me.
3) One thing that really does bother me tho... not to an extent that I'll lose sleep (I have in the past) is spiritual warfare. I mean it's no big deal and I've gone through some creepy things in my past, but knowing that it's out there... my friends have had horror stories up the wazoo, and I'm afraid the next time I fall asleep and wake up in a deep paralysis (D-Stage) I'll see some demon dancing on my stomach. Yes... that has happened to me before except for the demon part, but my friends have witnessed far worse.

1) Spiders. I scream like a little girl if I see one that is not tiny.

2) Clowns/Mimes. What in the hell are those people thinking?

3) Old Age. I despise going to nursing homes. I hope when I'm old I don't end up in one. I'd rather have my family pull the plug.

Me too. I hate those things. Suffice to say, movie wise, "Signs" was pretty scary for me to watch, but I enjoyed it.

Clowns are pretty freaky too, and if I think about it enough, mannequins and other close to human things kind of creep me out. Dead people don't bother me much, though the catacombs of Palermo (with thousands of mummified people on either side of the corridor) were pretty intense. I noticed that some of the upright bodies had lost their heads (they were usually placed with them) and couldn't help but think of how frightening it would be if one of those necks were to give way just as you were passing by. Heads will roll.

Good answer. People are nucking futs! I'd know.

Seriously though, we're the most dangerous things on the planet. I'm far more likely to be killed by a member of my own species than a spider, snake, shark, or whatever. The really scary part is that not only might another human kill me, he or she (though most likely he) might also deliberately torture me as part of the process. The horrible things we do to each other astound me. Honestly, I try not to think about it too much. Its important to acknowledge the problems in the world, but you can't let them drag you down into apathy. The world is also a beautiful place.

*nods*

Insects, spiders, and ants don't bother me. Or hairy centipeds and millipedes, or snakes. Or cockroaches. I am aware of the dangers some poise, but if you know how to best not provoke them, all is good.

What does freak the bejeebers out of me are:
1. Homicidal maniacs... like those in Silence of the Lambs or the Shining. You know, creeps based off of actual dudes! Jason and Freddy don't scare me... cause they aren't real.

2. Rapists. I swear, I had vowed to never ever be a soldier in any army, after seeing General's Daughter.

3. Evil Aliens... not so much the ones in Alien, but the kind that had questionable sightings right here on Earth. The tall scrawny kind, with really long fingers and those souless black eyes. The funniest thing... after seeing that movie ET for the first time as a kid, I got soooo freaked out of ET in his sick, pasty white state. For real! I would think he be dying under my bed, and then reach over the edge with those long cold fingers of his.... to TOUCH me! *shudder*

4. Poltergists... yes, I believe that ghosts exist. But it's the ones that want to do harmful things to humans that worry me the most.

5. The dark. Thank god I grew out of that fear. I had it bad when I was a kid. Being in the dark all by myself totally made me panic. I was better if I was with someone though. Also slept with a light on.

6. Worms, maggots, parasites.... bleah! I don't know what it is.. but they freak me. I have gotten used to earthworms, since I have to feed them to my turtle. But the nasty little maggots... and round worms even. Ugh. Totally nasty having to clean out the stall of a horse that just been wormed too... ewww!

7. Deadly viruses. Yes... those mass epidemic flicks, like "28 days" and 'Virus" really don't help keeping me calm. I hate being reeeeally sick. Yes... I alsl have the fear of throwing up. I will admit.. I never had drunk alcohol so much that I get that hung over. The thought of loosing control of my bodily functions like that is so... disturbing!

That's why it's called an irrational fear. I really can't explain it myself, man. It's like.. Their appearance.. Coupled with the fact that some of them are capable of killing.. Any the way I see it, there's so many species out there, how am I supposed to know which ones are and aren't?

I'm with you on that one, HT... That is probably the only thing that really gets me. Ugh...

My boyfriend has a fear of vomiting too. Seeming kind of strange to me. Of course, I used to get motion sick alot, and nothing makes you feel better faster than just letting your stomach empty itself. That said, I've never gotten drunk enough to have a nasty hangover, vomit, or black out. Not bad considering how much I love booze. Heck, I'm drunk right now.

I know exactly what you mean, man. You gotta be careful with some stuff. I can feel it when I'm around certain people. The tension I feel sometimes just has got to be spiritual in some way.

No no no no.. See.. That's where the frogs come in..

Nonono NO.

Spiders should be replaced with bats.
Bats rule. And they're cute-- especially flying foxes.

No offense to the fwogs.

But not all bats eat insects. Some eat fruit, others necter, and a couple drink blood. And many people also fear bats. But I agree, more frogs and bats.

But if spiders are gone, we'll never figure out the formula to their super strong spider silk. Imagine if we could synthesis that.

That would be so strange. Some people people cant stand walking into spiderwebs, yet they'd be wearing spider silk clothing...
