I'm like Christiangirl, the list is long as a kid...
The movie Aliens (Mom has a thing for Sci-Fi movies + we grew up watching Elvira) The Terminator (Screamed in Mom's coat for first 5 minutes of the movie=had to be taken out of theater) An American Werewolf in London (or Paris) don't remember-but HELL NO! Pirahana (sp?) (anyways-brother convinced me that Mom had ordered some to come to the house for fishtank Dad gave him--Damn boy!) Darth Vader (called him Dark Vader) The Gremilns--still hate that damn gremlin Spike--little evil Mofo! Carlsbad Caverns=the dark The thing about Carlsbad Caverns is that when I was three, my family went RVing to see my grandparents in TX. OK, so why four adults decided to stop there, I have no FREAKING idea, but, in the RV, was my Uncle, two Aunts, and one MIL (Uncle's) and there were 7 children between the ages of 1 to 8 or 9. Anyways, I was 3 and we went down into the cave. I was with my Aunt Rita (I think) and after going down by elevator, we hit the floor and began walking in the cave. All I remember is seeing the stalagmites and tites and being FREAKED THE (*^^(&&&% OUT! Next I've been told is that my Aunt hears a tiny voice singing (yes, the story and song are famous in my family) and the singing becomes louder and longer! She then turns to my other aunt and tells her "I think we better get this girl outta here for she loses it" or something to this effect, and I just remember going back up and into the LIGHT!!!!! |
I forgot, I saw a really old episode of Sesame Street from the 70's when I was younger with Snuffleupagus in it. I instantly became terrified of him.

E.T.
I know. Lame. But holy crap that movie scared the living bejesus out of me. I vividly remember going to bed that night and putting every single stuffed animal I owned around me and writing in my diary every stuffed animal I had around me (because you know that those stuffed animals were going to protect me). Even though E.T. was a "nice" alien the thought of aliens freak the hell out of me. Needless to say I cannot, nor will I, watch E.T. to this day. I am terrified of spiders. My nightmares usually consist of a spider landing on me in my bed (I'm usually in a not quite asleep or awake state and see a spider coming down from the ceiling and landing on me and I wake up screaming. My parents now ignore my screams). |

Seaweed
I was afraid of seaweed as a little girl. Walking on the beach, I would tip toe through it. My dad would say that it was just like the grass on the lawn. I still didn't believe him.
I still don't like seaweed on the beach. I can swim by it but it creeps me out. |
I blame my fear of being murdered and/or kidnapped on the fact my parents let my overly intelligent young self watch far too much Unsolved Mysteries, Rescue 911, and America's Most Wanted. Now I feed that fear with a little too much Criminal Minds.
Fears of normal things though: spiders, deep water (I'm an awful swimmer), and falling from something tall (wooden rollercoasters and turbulence on plane rides are HELL) |

I'm the same way! Except, I still watch all those shows knowing it'll scare the crap out of me. |
My parents let me watch Labyrinth when I was four. Jareth was terrifying to me, and I hated when I would see David Bowie's music videos on MTV in the 80's. It wasn't until I became an adult that I began to appreciate David Bowie's music.
My parents also let me watch The Peanut Butter Solution when I was four. That movie scared me so much. I was afraid I was going to get kidnapped by a creepy man and locked up and forced to work in a paintbrush sweatshop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Peanut_Butter_Solution |
My Buddy
i never liked it or asked for one. i felt like he was staring at me when i was trying to sleep. i would turn him around. Why the F would they give me that creepy ass doll? Child's Play came out a couple years later. that's when i knew i had to get rid of My Buddy before he got rid of me. http://cdn.retrojunk.com/media/image...6c8277fbaf.jpg http://www.sabotagetimes.com/wp-cont...s1-400x600.jpg |
That doll is freakish.

E.T. the movie creeps me out to the utmost extreme. I can't even look at pictures of him. I had a horrible nightmare when I was 3 and it traumatized me. Plus my dad buying one of those E.T. dolls with light up fingers to put outside my window one night did not help at all. -__-
