What Scares You?

I'm doing some research for what could turn into a nice cheque at the end of the month. Hence, I'm wondering...what scares you?

In your reply give me specific movies, specific fears and the way that you don't want to die. I want to know the little things that can make your sick to your stomach.

Here's mine:


Films: Cannibal Holocaust and Demons

Phobias: I hate needles. When I was younger, it took a doctor and three nurses to give me a shot.

Worst Way to Die: Drowning. Being alive long enough for your lungs to pop seems too painful for me.


Use that as your template, or add to it. I'm interested in what you have to say.

I'd have to say ditto on the drowning. I always thinks scenes where one is is trapped in a sinking submarine or boat are the worst. To see the waters slowly rise as you're trying to get at whatever pockets of air are left.

Films: (mainly as a kid) When a Stranger Calls, Black Christmas, Amityville 1 & 2, Close Encounters of the Third Kind (that big creepy alien specifically), the clown from Poltergeist

Phobias: Deep water (like being stranded in the middle of the ocean) and big waves (think the North Sea), breaking my teeth, spiders (the hard ones particularly)


Worst way to die: dare I say being skinned? Or burned.

Movie - Head Over Heels

Phobia - Heights (but only if I'm on something that's still attached to the ground...I love planes)

ways to die - being slowly bled to death...(over course of days...you know, VC torture tactics...with the bamboo being shoved underneath your fingernails and all)

Movie - Trilogy of Terror...the story with the african doll

Phobia - Clowns, little people (little people dressed as clowns especially), spiders, things brushing up against me at the beach.

Worst way to die - Chalk another one up to drowning.

Movies: The Exorcist, Seven

Phobias: Clowns, bugs

Worst way to die: any slow, painful death, especially of natural causes (seeing two of my favorite uncles waste away kinda makes you realise your own mortality)

Movies: THE EXORCIST. There's just something incredibly powerful about that movie and the way it represents its themes.

Phobias: Home invasion. I was broken into about fifteen months ago when I was in, and since I've had psychological disorders from that resulting in insomnia and regular panic attacks.

Dying: Buried alive. Just a horrible way to go.

Movies: I've yet to find a single movie that geniunely scared me

Phobias: I was once walking down the street and I had a slight wardrobe malfunction. I was wearing this pair of khakis, they fit just fine, but while I was running to catch the bus they split right up the leg into the crotch area revealing my manhood (I was wearing boxers with an open fly). Luckily no one saw anything, but ever since then I've had a fear of this happening again.

Worst way to die: Starving to Death

I don't see how people consider that movie a comedy. It's shudder-inducing disturbing.

I'd have to go with burning alive being the most god-awful way of possibly dying. Besides that, the only other one thing I can think of that scares me is being trapped alive in a really small space for a long time. That would drive me nuts before it killed me.

Movies: Session 9, Audition, Pick a random Faces of Death

Phobias: Needles (ditto your experience, Anderson), eye trauma, larger than a housefly insects (and yet, strangely, I'm not afraid of spiders)

Worst way to die: Deaf, blind, and tortured. (which kinda explains why Audition scares the fuck out of me)

After being in a huge car accident, riding in SUVs or cars packed with people I know.

People I care about getting hurt.

Films: Hm, not sure really. I tend to not watch films that would disturb me. Anything emphasizing despair would do the trick.

Phobias: Fear of rejection. Life is shit when one is so self-conscious that it turns off other people. It's an extremely pointless and egotistic thing to be worried about when there are so many other things in the world that are far more important. I'm working on it.

Horrible death: Ditto for any slow and painful death.

Film: The most freaked-out I ever got was the shot of the man/dog hybrid from the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Sent me screaming out of the room as a kid.

Phobias: Being adrift in deep water. The very idea of floating in the middle of nowhere with lord knows what underneath me ... *shudder*

Horrible death: Falling from a great height. I'd have enough time to totally freak out about my impending doom.

Way to die: Drowning in women who like that kind of movie.

Films: I don't know. Vampires (C.Lee as Dracula) scared me as a kid, now I love them (and I'm well aware that there is a connection). Ring 1 and 2 scare the shit out of me now. Arachnophobia (I was 16 when I saw it in the theater, and i had nightmares after).

Phobias: Oh, Spiders. Yes, I hate spiders. All kinds. Little ones and big ones. Long legs, shorter legs. The most disgusting thing is when they are carrying an egg sack or have their kids riding on their back. *shivers*.
Also, a certain type of bugs, ant or wasp-like flying insects (don't know what they are called in english, but the latin name for the family is Hymenoptera).
Heights.

Worst way to die: Burning.

Film: The Exorcist

Phobias: None that I'm aware of. But I will say that I saw the BIGGEST fucking locust since the time of Moses clinging to the side of my house and it scared the living shit of me. Freaky looking thing at that size.

Worst Way to Die: Terminal Disease (AIDS, Cancer, etc.)

Worst Wat to Die for a Locust: Death by a Louisville Slugger

Movies: The Exorcist, Altered States, my first viewing of House of 1000 corpses disturbed me because of the zombies/room of freaks at the end. I hate zombies. Hate. Them.

Fears: Obvious ones. Spiders, especially when they are dropping from a silk, and their legs are fanned out. Guh! Hate that. Heights, having somebody break into my house when I'm asleep, having people out to get me (reoccuring dream).

Worst way to die: Either drowning or running out of oxygen somehow. When I was a kid, I would wonder about astronauts and if they got marooned on the moon or up in space if they only had a little bit of air left, what would they do?
