It shouldn't make me scared... But why does it?

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

SEARCH BAR APPROVED! Now that we have that out of the way...

Basically what event in a book, game, song, movie or even regular everyday life make you scared or just creeped/weirded out? For me it's Bioshock. Everything about it scares me for some reason. From the enemies, little sisters, even to those flickering lights, they scare me so much, and I don't know why.

And spiders. Oh god, how I hate those spiders.

 

[Cargando]

That's not weird, it scared the hell out of everyone. (Bioshock, that is)

As for what scares me: anything the G-man says or does, god he's frightening.

That bit in the new King Kong movie when a guy is slowly devoured by a giant worm/leech thing. I know it's something totally unrealistic and there's no chance of something like it ever happening to me, but... Jesus, that gave me nightmares, even at my age.

 

[Madshire]

I hate standing next to really tall buildings. I have no idea at all why. >.>

 

[Jedamethis]

Nothing.
GRARRGH! ME AM UNSCARABLE!

It fascinates me why people are scared of spiders and other tiny weeny things. It's gotten me a reputation as official Bug Killer at my school.

 

[PuppetMaster]

crickets. fucking crickets. I know they're pathetic bugs that can be crushed if i lean akwardly on them but you won't catch me killing them with my bare hands or feet

 

[El Poncho]

Everytime something surprises me in a game or something I know is there but I don't know where then it shrieks. I'm a big scaredy cat.

 

[AdambotLive]

That part in the new indiana jones where that guy gets ant rushed.... *shudder*

Also at the start of star wars episode VI.. you know what i mean.

That puts me a bit on edge, but not too badly

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

The video to All Nightmare Long by Metallica... I can't stop watching it though.

Oi... Slight Squeamishness + Over active imagination = bad times. I once had to bang my head into my desk repeatedly just so I wouldn't have to hear the teacher's (I don't know why the hell she was telling this story to 3rd graders) story of a kid getting 3 pints of blood drained into their stomachs. I simply HATE hearing of stories, real or otherwise, of this kind of thing because I always end up thinking, immediately "what if that were me". Then the images pop into my head, and I have to hit my head into something to block 'em out.

Truly, the parts I can't stand of movies or stories, etc. to me damaged are the stomach (probably due to a scar on my stomach from birth... looks like I've been shanked. It's because of that that I can't lay down on my back), Achilles tendon, because that's just not a nice place to cut, and the eyes. Dear god the eyes. I can't stand, for the life of me, anything to do with anything slightly coming near the eyes. That's the worst of it.

I'm fine with blood, though. Weird, neh?

Oh, and spiders. Hate those fucking things...

 

[Pandalisk]

i hate the moments of waiting when you know that a scary moment is about to happen, and your waiting for it to happen, and you get scared and more scared as time progresses and when you finally let your gaurd down a tiny bit AEEGGGGHH! and you shit yourself.

Oh yes, definitely the same here. I also have a weird hatred of bugs and insects, although that's more an irrational fear and I'm getting over it now. I just don't like them crawling over me, standing near one tht isn't moving is fine...

 

[T-Bone24]

Dead Space.

"Holy shit what was that? I... no, it was nothing, it's gone. Huh? Holy shit! What is that noise!? Fuck... FUCK WHAT IS THAT!?!?!?!"

Really, a torso glued to a wall with odd tentacles shouldn't be that scary, but the screaming... oh god the screaming. The first time I saw that I went too close and it sliced my head clean off. Needless to say I shit myself (figuratively).

And the babies.. and the leapers... fuck, everything in Dead Space shouldn't really be scary, I mean, it's the flu that makes people grow knives. But how the portray the transformations and the "survivors" you see occasionally are horrifying. A blind insane woman clutching a quadropalegic corpse while softly giggling? Check. A woman hacking at a corpse with a bonesaw then turns to look at Isaac, cackles and cheerily slits her throat with it? Check. A man banging his head against the wall repeatedly untill he hits too hard and... yeah, it's a scary game.

I thought I was the only one freaked out by that, so damn creepy. I'd rather get eaten by one of the dinosaurs than that.... thing.

Just in case you forgot what they look like....

I read The Day of The Triffids, and ok, I know they're only plants, but seriously, I was too scared to reach out and turn off the light, in case the triffids underneath my high bed saw me moving and killed me.

Having said that, I can't wait until there's a decent film version out...

Thank you for that picture.
My nightmares just came flooding back into my head, and if I EVER find out where you live I'll send you a care packet containing various items that'll infect you with the galloping cock-rot and give you pus-volcanoes that sing Japanese pop songs on your gibblets.

No, the worst one is 'So wake up Dr. Freeman, wake up and... smell the ashshshes....'

Oh dear you just reminded me of the biggest fright of my life.

I had just finished the book, in bed turned, out the light and started to wonder what it was like being blind. Anyway, it was pitch black and I started getting a bit paranoid, like maybe I was blind? So I reached for the light and turned it on, [i/]and nothing happened[/i]! Turns out I'd turned it off just before a power-cut and it didn't turn back on again! Terrified me.

One game: Fatal Frame.

The atmosphere, presentation, cinematic camera, and the brilliant combat mechanic make it easily the most terrifying artistic experience I've ever had. Horror films have nothing on this.
