What Scared you as a Kid?

[Cari Scholtens]

NO CHEATING...Was was a TANGIBLE thing that scared you as a kid (or still does)? I was afraid of ventriloquist dummies...what about you?

These. They still do.

 

[Grayjack]

Spiders. Although they still scare me.

 

[Marble Dragon]

Random piles of stuff that look like figures in the darkness. Those still freak me out. *Turns on a lamp*

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Heights, bees, raccoons. Have no fear of bees or raccoons anymore, though still a little nervous about height.

 

[Derpus von Herpus]

Spiders, big dogs, and snipers.

JESUS! Shadow...I hate you...JUST KIDDING...hehe...I am not allowed to hate under penalty of The Escapist...

 

[BakaSmurf]

Chucky, the doll possessed by the spirit of a murderer.

I still hate my brother for tying me to a chair with duct tape and forcing me to watch that movie when I was little...

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Dogs, not really surprising given that I got mauled by an escaped scrapyard guard dog when I was about 5.

And for some reason washing machines frightened me. I have no clue why.

I'd have to say a voodoo lookin' mask my sister made and hung on my wall. It scared me in the dark but it looked awesome in the day so I kept it.

As an intangible thing (nobody tells me if I can cheat or not) I'd have to say nuclear war. Yes, I'm being serious. My dad infused me with a lot of premature fears that I shouldn't have had until I was older and gave a shit about politics. I disliked him at a time for it but now I thank him because now that I'm at an age where I'm supposed to care about those things, I've already stopped giving a shit and now I can remain nice and mellow for the rest of my life. It was kind of annoying though because my young, stupid peers didn't give a shit when I did so if I tried to talk to anyone my age about things that should scare them I ended up feeling like Charleton Heston in Soylent Green. Now that my peers give I shit I can't help but tell them that I don't care, which makes them even angrier

When I was younger (this is gonna sound really stupid), I was afraid of the TV screen when it was turned off. I don't know why. I would run into the living room and turn it on as fast as I could every day.

I was also afraid of going upstairs or in the basement alone at night (that's pretty stupid too lol).

I also had a huge phobia of bees. If one was near me I would actually talk outloud saying that I love bees and that they are my favourite insect because I thought that they wouldn't sting me if they thought that I liked them. I never really 100% got over that (I still don't like them, but I don't talk to them anymore ). Probably because I've only been stung once, and that was when I was 3 or 4. I got stung by a wasp in the face, and it really hurt. Now I don't know how much it would hurt if I got stung again (obviously less because I'm older).

I never was afraid of heights though.

Now that I've spilled my life story out to you, ummmm, what were you afriad of...?

 

[barryween]

I was afraid of the Dark. Also, of those commercials on Adult Swim and late night shows promoting horror movies.

My old T.V. scared me after one night. I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep when all of a sudden, I hear the click of my T.V. turning on. I turn to look at it and the screen lights up white. It stayed like that for a second before shutting off. It then proceeded to do it again. I got up and ran to unplug it. I know this was not a prank because my T.V. does not have a remote plus after turning on it light up white instead of being black.

These. They still do.

You just made me scream like a girl... again.
Other than clowns things that scared me as a kid are spides, bugs, my closet, heights, and God. (don't laugh at the last one. I was 5 and some preacher told me God was going to send me to a place of eternal pain)

 

[Big shiny red button]

lumps of crap in my room. at night anyway. my laundry hamper will fall over in the middle of the night, ill look over, OMFG!!!! its a dark figure poised to kill m- wait no, its that black tee shirt i wore today. *mumbles* Damn you clothes...

 

[Space Spoons]

The final boss of Super Mario World. Something about the way he'd bounce around with that creepy music playing just freaked me right out. I'd have to pause the game and hand it off to one of my brothers if I wanted to see the ending.

In fact, I remember my brothers pranking me by threatening to "go fight King Koopa" on more than one occasion. Jerks.

#1 when I was a kid had to be dolls, saw a decent chunk of one of the Child's Play movies when I was way too young. The shortly after that stayed at my cousin's house and she had one of those talking baby dolls. Well it's battery was almost dead... and I was sleeping in here room, she was at a friends or something... anyway this doll just triggered in the middle of the night for no reason and it's battery was dying... It just started spouting out those random things dolls say like "come play with me!" and "I love you" and "Feed Me" but in that slowly dying recording playback way discharged electronics tend to do. It freaked me the hell out, I didn't stay there again for years, and I still remember that voice "FEEEeeeEEEeeEEEEdddd MMMMEeeEeeee....."

O_O

Okay as a child it was Procelin Dolls, pictures, mirrors, the dark, loss of loved ones, and death.
Now it's loss of loved ones, death, and eternity.
