What Scares You?

[MeechMunchie]

I'm scared of dying alone, but that's fairly rational.

[Ridg3]

Dolls, but to be more specific; china dolls, doll heads, everything that has eyes with a glassy stare. I developed this disgusting peeve whenever I had the most nastiest of dreams where I went to sleep and woke up unable to move/breathe/blink and the reflection in the mirror showed me as a dolls head, you know, the ones used for hair styling and make up application.

Another one is complete and total darkness to the point when you can even see your own hand in front of your face. This might be because of the whole unknown issue, because it ain't nothing to do with monsters or that sort of jazz. Other than that, very few things can properly terrorize me, sure I can be spooked or startled and I enjoy that, but other than those two things there's nothing else.

Oh, not being loved either. It freaks me out even thinking about a life where I'm not loved by even one person.

jenny genisis, i remember that titanic man! is he the guy who gets angry with you when u ask him for the time? or something? or he asks to see your boarding pass?

[Dixanadu]

O_O

Seriously, penguins. Emperor Penguins, to be specific. Their walk.

That fucking walk.

And the noises they make. It doesn't sound natural.

He just tells you to avoid Leyland Trask because he is a psychic.

[Phantasos]

Those godawful jellyfish.

They're not right.

I'm just scared of death. Who gives a fuck if you're alone or not. It makes no difference In The End.

[alluz]

Pure Darkness.
When its so dark you can't see anything its just pretty scary, it depends the place mostly. But still pure darkness it just makes paranoid.

I like to think death would be personified as he is in Discworld. I wouldn't worry about death too much mate, you're young, you have a long and active life ahead of you, don't be scared of the inevitable.

Be scared of zombies.

Don't be ridiculous! ''You've got a long and active life ahead of you''. That kind of sensibility just agitates me. No one can secure such a statement. Anything could happen; from a mugging, to a brain hemorrhage to the entire planet being sterilized by a gamma ray burst.

That all said, them jellyfish.. not right, not right :/

As a child, I was shit-scared of African masks. I used to worry that they would sprout arms and legs and attack me.
Years later (we're talking a couple of decades), I was exposed to a cartoon adaptation of Jumanji by my nephew. This cartoon had walking African masks with spears. I had up to that point forgotton about my old fear of those masks, but that cartoon reminded me of all the horrifying feelings I used to get from seeing such masks, and actually shook me up for a minute or so.

Now I love that kind of artwork, but I get a slightly uneasy feeling about them which is a remnant of my old fear.

Oh great, you've just rekindled a forgotten fear of mine: theatrical china masks, those ones with dual expressions. Sigh.

That said: Hexadecimal was a babe.

[Dynamithix]

On the topic of masks, I think Hannya masks look really creepy.

If you want to see one.

[Mudokon_Master]

Masks don't really scare me. But as soon as you mentioned Trypophobia, what did I go do?
Fucking Google Imaged it.
What the fuck? No, that's not right. Not right! Ugh >.<

[Dynamithix]

Don't. I would never do that.

[STM]

Oh God, that made me feel physically sick. Must, remove, images, from, head, forever.

[Dynamithix]

Congratulations, now both of you too have trypophobia.

[Mudokon_Master]

Another thing that greatly disturbs me, when it really shouldn't, is Spengbab.
It's the grotesque, demented outcome of an innocent cartoon taken into the hands of 4chan. Seeing different impressions and pictures of Spengbab disturbs me a lot more than it should. There's just something about it.

[STM]

I dunno if it's a phobia for me Dyna, it's just fucking ugly, it looks like people have diseases that do that to their skin, like something's been chewing on necrotic flesh. x-x

[Mac Sirloin]

I would like to point out that anyone frightened by Amnesia is welcome to come over to my house and be beaten senseless and screamed at for an entire afternoon. You fucking pussies.

[Mudokon_Master]

Have you actually played it?

[Mac Sirloin]

Yes. Granted, it does a good job creating a creepy vibe but this nonsense people spout about it being the most ball-shiveringly terrifying feat of modern horror need to take a seat.

[Mudokon_Master]

Huh, well commendations to you, good sir. Personally, it scares the bejesus out of me. I'm aware it's not the most ball-shiveringly terrifying feat of modern horror, but it sure does do the trick when it comes to making my heart pound and hands shake.

What the fuck did I just watch? Get it out of my head!

[Sekto Springs]

I fucking worship Giger, but I was really disappointed in the Giger in Motion video. I'm not sure why. I'm sure they did the best they could, but it failed to match what I saw in my head when I first looked at the original paintings.

What scares me? Commitment. And black people. Fucking black people... they're after my material goods!

[Daxter King]

This, pretty much. Granted I only played the demo, but people said the demo was one of the scariest parts of the game. That and how people explain their absolute horror of the demo level make me think its not all its cracked up to be. There is something about being completely helpless against the monsters attacking you that makes it somewhat fearful, but I fear(LOL) that it would wear off since that seems to be what the game stands on. Being helpless made for the scariest parts of Dead Space for me, but they used them sparingly and hinted at them with music and certain sound effects, giving you real dread to the encounters and not just popping out monsters. It seems like Amnesia likes you to open doors and see monsters, removing the dread for cheap scares.

On the subject of trypophobia, I dont have it. Maybes its because I wanted the momma toad thing with babies in its back on discovery channel as a little kid.

The Dark. In videogames it's being underwater and attacked by monsters, or when little things pop out of vents. This is why I can't complete Half Life.
