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.

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. -__-
