Certain types of architecture, that really doesn't follow much of a pattern.I live near the city of Flint, Michigan and I can't stand looking at the buildings. The whole city gives off a creepy vibe, and not just because it's fucking dangerous. And garbage trucks, I cannot walk past one and even passing one in my car makes me feel squeamish.

Living near flint Michigan in general should scare you. I remember reading a while back they shut down services to like half the city at one point because it was too dangerous. That is scary...

It's getting worse actually. They switched to their own water system and it's brown. And $50 more a month. Also each resident has to pay for their street light. But you can buy a house for $5,000 total. But it's not that it's dangerous, it's just the smell and look and atmosphere of the inside of the buildings.
When bulbs pop, or when you put a new bulb in and turn it on for the first time. For some inexplicable reason I fear that the bulb will just explode and shards of glass will fly in all directions. Can't even begin to explain why I even consider that a thing that happens.
People being eaten. There's always something very squeamish about that just makes me go "nope!" every single time. Probably because unlike with food, people being eaten is usually when done alive so you can see them resist. Whenever I replay Bayonetta I make sure to fight the giant head monster from the staircase so I don't have to watch that cutscene if you go to the bridge (seeing the bullets flying from its mouth is just horrifying).
The crown jewel goes to that one scene from Pan's Labyrinth with the eyeball monster, though. Partially because I don't find it believable in the slightest, and also because... no, no, fuck no!
For movies some reason the ghostbusters bath scene freaked the shit out of me as a child and made me afraid of things coming out of taps when I wasn't looking. Now it just looks cheesy.
For me as an adult there is the guy's fingernails coming off in District 9. It's only a small scene (some people even missed it completely) but it almost made me throw up. I said in another thread, if it is fingers, toes or eyes it gets under my skin more than anything else.

Porcelain Dolls, no wonder they are the go to cursed toy and common in horror movies.
I got given one of those by my great grandmother when I was little. I pretended I liked it because it was antique, then I locked it in drawer in my room and was worried it would get out.
Off topic since this isn't a small thing from media but I have an irrational fear of dark hallways though I force myself to walk down them without using the light so I'm not that bad any-more, just uneasy. I don't like the dark usually but hallways amplify that. What is the likelihood that there is someone waiting in a side room of the hallway to murder me? I'm more likely to get mugged on the street than in my house so logicically I should be more afraid of walking home at night but I'm not. If I'm in a room its not so bad because the almighty squeaky door protects me although I don't know that I could walk into a dark room and go to bed without turning on the light and looking around first so I know there isn't anything/anyone already in there.
Oh this reminds me
Also dark ocean/lake water. Probably for the same reason as the hallway thing. I'm a shite swimmer so I might as well be in an enclosed hallway when I'm in the water.
I don't know why, but seeing many, many worms in squiggly masses just... gives me the wiggins. I don't dislike worms or anything, it's just when they're clustered together like that... UGH! Oh, and maggots too, that's unsettling.

Strange, I forgot about that one for myself. It was just for incandescent bulbs though, not with the newer compact fluorescent ones.

I just remembered this strange image that flashes through my brain whenever I'm near someone (always someone I know) who has a pen in their hand. I can't help but imagine, every time, just how effortless it would be for them to reach over and stab me in the eye. I've gotten used to it by now, but instead of fixing the problem, I simply got used to the symptoms.
Beat me to it ... I also loathe seaweed. It creeps me out. So in a lot of situations even where I can see the seabed but it's covered in seaweed, it will scare the living crap out me.
I don't know what it is. It feels like it's nothing but a dark void, waiting to swallow me whole if I don't keep an eye on it.
But I've never NEEDED glasses. Unless...unless you're suggesting that I wear fake glasses with aluminium oxynitride [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnUszxx2pYc] lenses. That's all the prompting I need.
If I can't see the bottom than I don't really want anything to do with it.
It's totally irrational of course. I suppress it when going for a swim, but there's always this niggling feeling that there could be anything down there.
Yeah, second that. Oddly, I'm afraid of weird tentacled sea monsters, not, say, sharks or my own foolishness, which is much more likely to get me.

As for stuff in movies, etc... well, I remember child me getting freaked the fuck out by one scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It was the bit where the villain gets run over by a steam roller, then his flattened body gets up and starts walking around.
Well, that was freaky. As an aside, the guy that did the music for that also did the music for Predator, and it shows. Keep expecting someone to turn up skinned.
THANK YOU!!!!! I am not the only one. That scene scared the shit out of me. I was only 10 when the movie came out but to this day I still cannot watch that bit. I always skip it.
Crickets, roaches. Basically any insect that isn't known for flying, but CAN if it wants to... Bonus points if they make a loud smacking noise as they slam repeatedly into my laptop screen in the dark.
I know it's irrational, because if I ever happen across a dead body, whether it even vaguely resembles that one at all, I'm pretty damn sure it's not going to move. This has actually lessened a bit in the last year or so, probably due to having an extreme close-up of Kayako as my desktop wallpaper. :D
For gods sake i'm a grown man there is nothing there but maybe i should look. But, what if there is? nah there definitely isn't its obviously just my brain being an immature fuck. I should look, okay i'll look just to prove my brains being irrational.
slowly peers out of covers
Fucking knew it, im a grown man why am i still concerned with the dark!!
but what if it was hiding, it is dark, maybe i should look again.......
That horror movie, Mirrors. That one scene where the woman in the bath gets murdered by the mirror demon. That scene gave me the chills for several days afterwards. And I still cringe at the thought of it.
Also, for some reason bumblebees freak me out. They're totally harmless to me, but...just...nope, just nope. I get nervous whenever I see one near me, while I know there's no reason for it. xD

Why don't you have a night light? I am not concerned about the corner of the room, but I cannot see in the dark at all, so I have a night light so when I get up to get a drink in the middle of the night I don't kill myself. I could not function without them.
However, when I was a kid, I had these formal dresses in my closet that freaked me out in the dark because of the weird shadows they made from the moonlight hitting them. I couldn't shut the closet door as it was heavy and on rails and I was too small to open it. One day it freaked me out so bad I thought something was in there and grabbed a baseball bat and beat the crap out of them and my closet in the dark waking up the whole house. HAHA
