    Fire. I was terrified of my, or anybody else's, house burning down. I would sometimes stay up all night long so if the house burned down I would know and could get out of there.


    I did that for years.
    Except I went to bed as soon as the time was 11.11 so I could wish for my house not to burn down :roll:.

    I was also terrified of hidden cameras, in hotels and bathrooms and stuff. I saw a talk show about the subject when I thought Wheel of Fortune was on.

    The vampire movies "Fright Night" 1 & 2 made me afraid of the dark FOR YEARS !!! Those teeth freaked me out bigtime!

    Also the bad guy in ThunderCats... when his cloak would fly open and reveal his mummified state... I used to piss my pants... and even now (I'm 25) after seeing him again after all these years he still gives me the willies.

    :shock:

    The part in Return to Oz where Dorothy is in the room with all those heads that are asleep, and they wake up. I first saw that when I was 4 and it scared the crap out of me.

    Aliens…huge childhood fear of aliens. All thanks to an episode of unsolved mysteries where they had this story about a little girl who was allegedly abducted by aliens from her bed and wasn’t returned either till she was much older or not at all (can’t quite fully remember) but it was enough to scare the crap out of me. Thanks to that I was convinced every time the garbage truck or street cleaner would come by early in the morning when it was still dark outside that it was aliens coming to get me. I also always hated ET for this reason.

    For me it was the first poltergist movie.....I remember being soooo scared and not wanting to go to bed the night that i watched it. Also for some reason i HATED swimming pools, which is really weird because i really like them now.

    The thing with the old EBS thing is that it just creeped up on you. You're sitting there watching "The Great Space Coaster" and there's a commercial and suddenly BAM!! The EBS frame comes up, and it's SCARY!

    Forget the ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and talking killer dolls (okay, maybe not the ghosts; I remember freaking out over the Are You Afraid of the Dark episodes that had to do with ghosts, like the one about the mute girl who was trapped in a mirror, the one about the old lady who haunts this girl who broke her promise to stay with her, or the one about the little boy who froze to death. The only AYAOTD ghost story that didn't freak me outr [but actually made me cry] was the one about the high school girl who haunts this boy named Johnny and Johnny discovers that the high school girl was his girlfriend who died with him in a car accident and that Johnny never knew he was dead).

    That being said, what scared me as a child?

    Pee Wee's Playhouse (the TV show and the Pee Wee Herman talking dolls; I would always avoid going down a toy store aisle that had those dolls). The Ed Grimley dolls scared me too (though I don't remember the TV show that much; I know it once existed and that Martin Short was the insane guy who played him [when I was older, I found out he created the character for the sketch comedy shows SCTV Network 90 and NBC's Saturday Night Live], but that's pretty much it)

    I also had a really freaky nightmare where I thought my toilet talked to me as I walked down a long hallway.

    Oh, and for reasons unknown I was scared of the black ring in this stupid little board game called "Pretty, Pretty Princess" and I hated the buzzing sound on the board game Operation

    I am so surprised that I wasn't taken into therapy as a child.

    I remember seeing a trailer for that movie called Leviathan. I think it came out around 1989, so I was about 8 years old. Man, the preview of that movie freaked me out. If you haven't seen it, Leviathan was an underwater sea monster/alien ripoff type flick. I've seen the whole thing, and it's pretty retarded, but back then it scared the dookie outta me.

    I have always loved monsters, ghosts, clowns and the usual scary stuff including weird 80's shows. For me, the only thing that kind of freaked me out was when a kid lost his or her parents in movies or tv shows. Or when the parents turned evil or something weird like that. Evil parents scare me.

    There was one specific episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark" with the dead guy that lived in the school pool. There was a scene where the kids were in a boat in the pool, and I think one of the kids fell in or something, and this zombie guy took him under. It scared the Hell out of me. Scream 1 also scared the crap out of me. Once I watched it, for about a year, I had to check behind doors and I couldn't go to bed without having everything open such as my closet door.

    Heights have always scared me. I used to be terrified of balance beams and actually still would never get on one unless forced to for the sake of a grade.

    However, I would NEVER go to a parents bed. My mom and I both think that is absoultely wrong. I slept in my own crib from day one.
