I used to be scared to go to sleep 'cause I thought aliens would come in my room and abduct me. I always thought they would bring me back to to Earth, but I was just scared for them to come in my room. I used to watch those shows on TLC/Discovery with all the re-enactments of aliens coming into abductee's rooms, and I could never strip that image out of my head!

Thylacine 8 years 29 days ago Posts: 1525	I use to be scared of this one commercial for Empire rugs. It had a guy's face (Don Rickles I think) in a carpet, talking to the viewers. I used to run out of the room whenever it came on. Ghosts also scared me to the point where I refused to sleep without a night light on and a flashlight under my pillow. I used to stay up till all hours of the night, freaking out at every little creak I heard until I was too exhausted to stay up anymore. Manniquenns(Sp?) were another thing that scared the crap out of me. Something about faceless, pale people who didn't move just scared me. I used to throw the biggest fit if I was forced to go into a store that I saw one in. The Emergancy Broadcast System, Viacom, aliens, and prothestic body parts are some lesser, yet still worthy to mention, fears I had.

the_acid_trip 8 years 26 days ago Posts: 160	When I was a kid it was never the fake monsters and demonds and crap under my bed that scared me, what scared me was real life things and alot of the anti drug PSAs at the time would give me nightmares also things on American channel news sometimes would scare me. I had quite the worldly mind as a youngster.

It was this interperative dance ensamble who dressed in black tights and wore rolls of toilet paper on their faces, unraveling the toilet paper. They would dance around on their tip toes. Some wore other freaky costumes. There was even one that looked like a dancing coffee table... he freaked me out the most. This traumatized me for quite a long time. These commercials were advertizing tickets for their shows in the New York metro area, and aired on either WPIX 11 or WNEW 5. I would have trouble sleeping at night, thinking that the Mumenshanz were under my bed, waiting for me to fall asleep so they could jump on me in bed and start unraveling their toilet paper eyes in front of me. Also, the dancing cofee table guy would come scurrying out from under my bed doing his manic dance. It was their sole job in life to terrorrize me, or worse, tickle my feet in bed. I nick named them "The deet-deets", I suppose because that is how I imagined they sounded like, prancing on their tip-toes, "Deet-deet, deet-deet". I was only 4 or 5. I didnt know any better. I would have to sleep with at least three blankets tucked around me to prevent the deet-deets from invading my feet and neck. God forbid I had to get up to go the bathroom in the middle of the night. That would mean JUMPING OFF THE BED and landing as far away from the bed as possible, and as close to the door as possible so that I had a good chance of running down the hall and making it to the bathroom before the deet deets could catch up to me. Such a happy childhood. I kind of remember the Mumenshanz. Does anyone know where to find photos or info on them? (No ones probably going to reply to this...)

System 8 years 25 days ago Posts: 74809	I grew up on a farm in Iowa. One time when I was 15 I was home alone in our old farmhouse and I watched The Exorcist by myself for the first time. I was totally scared to go upstairs to bed....man, it was horrifying to say the least...I still remember it like it was yesterday and it was 25 years ago....

joKeRsWiLd 8 years 22 days ago Posts: 85	Mental Blade wrote: With me, It was the Child's Play movies of the early 90's and 80's. Those movies scared the crap out of me. One of my friends owned those dolls and I couldn't sleep or go in his room. I actually had to go home in fear. I don't fear him anymore. However, seeing a doll kill someone at the age of 8 can scar you for a good while. child's play screwed me up as a kid too. i saw it when i was about 3. at the time my bed was surrounded by stuffed animals and i would lay in bed all night scared to death that one of them would come to life and kill me. in fact i had these reoccuring nightmares that all my stuffed animals did come to life and tried to kill me. then at the end of the dream it would always end the same. all the stuffed animals would be gone and it would be dark and i would be all alone. then i would turn a corner and there would be this really scary gremlin-like stuffed animal that terrified me and it would come after me just before i woke up. the gremlin-like stuffed animal was the only stuffed animal in my dream that i didnt own and had never seen before.... ....but here's the kicker. several years later, long after the dreams had stopped, i recieved that very gremlin-like stuffed animal from my dream as a present. i had never told anyone about the dream prior to this. i just cracked up when i got it and no one knew what i was laughing about.

rcorn74 8 years 21 days ago Posts: 79	Hands down . . . Jaws and Jaws II !!! To this day, it's difficult to go into the ocean by myself without looking around for a dorsal fin, and as I kid, I was scared to even go into the deep end of the swimming pool by myself. I was a great swimmer, but you never know what's swimming at the bottom of the pool way down there at the """DEEP END"""
