BWAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, I'd pass on that one.

Sharks and earthquakes, and I'm still scared of them!

I had this reeeeeally creepy doll that I was afraid of. I couldn't just put her in the closet or toy chest because, of course, that would just make her mad, so I had to keep her out in the room.

1. I'm still creeped out by baby dolls. I used to watch Twilight Zone and there's an episode about a killer doll named "Talking Tina". Anyhoo, had just gotten a life-sized baby doll for Christmas and I was soooo happy. Then my dingbat cousin made the remark to my mother - in front of me - "She still walking around with Talking Tina??" That was it for me. In the closet she went.

2. Clowns - the smiles look like screams to me. Then in high school I read Stephen King's IT, and that was how he described IT's smile; then later I saw the movie. Enough said. Still don't like them.

3. The HAND under the bed that will grab your foot.
4. Uncovered mirrors at night - thanks to my grandmother who had to have mirrors covered at night. It was because of some old SC superstition & I overheard her saying she awoke & saw something other than her reflection in it once.

I now know that the nanny was off her rocker but to this day I close my closet door at night. I get a weird feeling when the lights are off and my closet door is still open.

Me too, in fact I have somewhat of an obsession with making sure my closet doors are closed even during the daytime. As a child I wasn't scared of the monsters under the bed, I was convinced they all lived in my closet.


Flushing toilets- I thought when I flushed ghost or witches were going to come up out of the pipes and get me and drown me, so I would flush and run out of the bathroom as fast as I could.

The Grateful Dead Bears (honestly). I used to have NIGHTMARES about them. I swear my parents smoked too much weed before I was born and around me as a child.

Mine is so lame:

-The Count from Sesame Street.

I thought he hid in our laundry room (to this day I still turn on the light every time I pass it), in my closet, and under my bed. One of my friends bought a shirt with his face on it recently and I couldn't look at it! I made her put on a sweater.

fire...I would wake up at night and go in the basement and look around for anything that could start a fire...like I knew what to look for

spiders and snakes...STILL AM!! Snakes just freak me out.

^^^^^^

LOL! That was funny.



sorry.

I already listed some fears, but I was afraid of Blacula & all things related to vampires (except the Count. ) Yep - same dingbat cousin watched it in front of me. Then, oh... about 2 yrs ago when I got up enough nerve to watch Vampire movies and shows I finally watched it again & was like - I was afraid of this???

[KSUViolet06]

I refused to watch any "Child's Play" or "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies until high school.

[girlygirl11]

That was hilarious!!! And I'm so glad to find that somebody else was terrified of the stupid Count too. I feel so validated!

2. Scary Movies-It gave me nightmares.
