Ok, i want everyone to post the most insanley stupid or ridiculous thing they remember being scared of. i don't want 'I jumped a little when michal grabbed jamies leg' type stuff, i mean truly frightening.
I will start........
My Wife: When she was a kid, she saw a made for TV movie with a mud moster in it. The creatures hand was severed and kept coming after the people. Her and her sister were terrified by this at age 6 and 8. She actually tracked down the director and asked if there is any plans for this to make it to DvD, and she was not along in looking for it. but an odd little thing to scare someone.
Me: Well, only 3 things ever really scared me. After seeing the Exorcist i woudl run scremaing every time the old trailer with Normal Face/ Possessed face flashing back and forth woudl come on. I also remember a movie about an indian burial ground where the female archaeoligist becomes possessed, with VERY cool make up for the time. but these make sense.
So ridicuous? When i was a kid i had a viewmaster projector. not this little crap plastic flashlight thing of today, but a real metal lamp projector. i also had the wizard of Oz set of slides. I woudl go in a dark room, set up my screen, light up my projector and go to town.
But every time i got to the signle face of the wicked witch, i woudl stare in terror and then run out of the room crying. And i woudl do it repeatedly, knowing that the next slide woudl be "the one". And i swear i could hear her laughting, swearing she woudl get me, but i could not resist. my heart raced, and i had to see her, to face it again.
guess i knew i was a horror junkie early on.
My son: Now this is the wildest of all. there was a McDonalds commercial a few years ago where ronald mcDonalds har had a bit standing straight up, and it woudl not let itself be combed. It made shaped and fought away from his comb. My son flipped a lid when he saw this. he woudl run from the room crying and not come out till the TV was turned off. He was sitting in front of me coloring one day, his back to the TV. All of a sudden he shoots up, sceaming for his life and runs to his room. i had no idea what was going on, and htought he hurt himself. just then the black screen faded and that commercial started. With his back turned, he could tell by the distinctive hiss of the lead in that it was coming. i was astounded.
Course, 3 months later, it comes on and he just watches it and ignores it. like a light switch, it was no longer scary.
So what are some of everyone elses weirdest and most ridiculous scares?
