Anyway, I can't think of anything that really "freaks me out", except maybe losing visible body parts. Yeah, that's the one that'll make me shudder. There are a few things I'll avoid at almost all costs (shoes, phones, mirrors, cameras) but I can deal with no problems if I really have to.

1. Child's Play
2. I used to get nightmares for a year about one of my animal physiology labs-->I had to do rat heart surgery and eventually kill the rodent with euthansia.

I am not scared of anything else.

I have one normal phobia and two or three really strange ones that even I can't explain.

1. Spiders (ok that's common)

2. Anchors. Underwater. The double hook shaped kind. That scene in Pirates of the Carribean where the anchor was being dragged along the ocean floor among OTHER anchors was uncomfortable for me. I don't mind them when they're on land, they sort of freak me out then too but I can approach them if I dare. However if I were to be swimming along and all of a sudden in front of me or underneath me I saw one I'd probably scream, choking on the water and drowning. I'd be scared all to hell. Never been in such a scenario, but I fear it immensely.

3. Shipwrecks. Same idea as above. It's the underwater thing... things like that should be on land. Damnit. I'll NEVER to scuba diving around a wreck. I'll only do it to explore natural habitat.

4. Submarines (so many weird water ones!) I have this strange nightmare fantasy of minding my own business, swimming along and suddenly a sub coming at me, or coming up from underneath me. I also hate the T shaped thing on top of subs. That freaks me out.

I love to swim. This is what is wierd. I even get freaked out swimming in a pool if anchors come to mind. I am more likely to leave the water if I am in a lake or something.

I also fear death.

My biggest fear is being trapped underwater in a car or something. The ending scene of Simon Birch about made me pee my pants.

UFO's and Aliens. Not aliens like from the movie aliens but the grey ones. I'm getting scared just thinking about it right now.

I'm afraid of getting stabbed. Just the thought of something getting slammed into my body kind of weirds me out.

I wouldn't know if that's what it is, but you probably know so I assume that must be what it'd be. So yeah. I have a fear of a periscope! Bwahahahaha.

I think it is the movie, Tha Abyss... when I got freaked out by the scene where she was all alone (I think alone) in some kind of small underwater machine at the very bottom of the ocean and it was pitch black, when suddenly the light that lit her way shone upon a huge propeller of the sunken submarine. Thing. Yeah. It made me feel stunned with fear for a moment.

Stop starin at meeeeeeeeeee

I used to be scared of xenomorphs (like the aliens from the Alien movies) when I was little

Now a days it's tarantulas or any spider that looks furrish like a tarantula X.x I don't run, I don't kill, I just freeze in panic and then proceed to go berserk on them, or when I saw a tarantula on TV that showed up when I was RIGHT in front of the tv I screamed, tried to back up, and landed flat on my arse. @.@

There's also this wierd thing with a part of my house....when it's dark, if I'm anywhere near that one area of the house, ESPECAILY when I'm alone, I just freak out. For some reason that one area of the house always makes me feel like someone's waching me, breathing down the back of my neck, and waiting to slice me to little bits. X.x And this has only happened in one other place before (that being the dining room in a friend's house. where they had a LOT of windows that were left uncovered and had a clear view into the back yard.) It's only happened to me in those two places...so I dunno what's up with it...

Black Spider's (any other colour and I'll pick up and take outside).
Wasps (bee's and snakes don't scare me.....strange)
UFO's/Alien's (as in the real deal if they exist)
Ghosts
Min Min lights
War
Religion (satan etc wondering if what really is etc......)
Movies gremlins/aliens/IT/Beetlejuice/Langoliers, watched all 5 very very young and all scared me crapless and still do today. The book verions of IT and the langoliers don't scare me however for some reason and their just as freaky as the movies.


I also used to be scared of clowns and Golbledox as a kid (yes that chip stealing alien, my sister used to tell me he was going to get me) but have long since got over my fear of both so i guess they don't count.

Night of the Living Dead would be the only movie to truly scare me since I've grown up.. I've never been able to handle zombies. Couldn't even play zombies ate my neighbors as a kid. I've toughened up a bit, though. It takes "GOOD" zombies to scare me now. Like the ones in the Resident Evil GAMES (The movie ones were pathetic.) The other exceptions are C.H.U.D, Lord Raptor(Darkstalers), Quake, and that dude from Hocus Pocus. Oh yea, and the ones on Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, even though they were probably scarier than the ones in the Resident Evil movie.

As for real life, I can't handle spiders at all. I really, really hate the little beasts. I don't understand why God would create such hideous creatures. Couldn't he have just made more frogs or somethin'? (Sorry Brodie!) Everything about spiders, I hate. The only good thing to come from them is Spider-Man. If it were up to me, I'd wipe them from the planet.

Worms..Anything squirmy, call me a bitch, but I don't like things without legs (or too many.) I guess I'm just hard to please.

When I was younger, I always had this terrible terrible idea.. What would it be like if you had a hangnail, and someone grabbed and pulled it, and it went aaaaaaaaaall the way around your body, tearing off this loooooong string of skin, like it was string cheese. GAAHHH!

I would hate to be eaten alive, to bleed to death, be dipped in acid or lava, or crushed to death.

I would hate to see anyone I love murdered. I would honestly, quite honestly lose my mind.

Now on the subject of aliens.. If anyone's seen the movie Signs, remember Grahm's speech to Merril, about the two different types of people.. I would be in the 2nd class.
.......I'm done.

This is interesting, very interesting.

The only thing that actually scares me is my own death, or what that last minute of life before I die is going to be. Any way of death, murder or what not terrifies me.

No movies scare me, it's all fake bulls***.

And then we'd be taken over by every other insect on the planet. Power to the insects!
