We've all been scared by something or other when we were younger. E.T. Watership Down, Dumbo, anything's fair game here. When I was in Elementary school [cannot remember a specific age but I know I was younger than ten] I had a nightmare because of the part of The Black Cauldron where it started peeling the skin off the lich.

Yeah, same. I remember spending a lot of nights while I was younger than nine running to my bed and leaping onto it after turning the lights off. Also wasn't helping that I could see my closet and how it always seemed half open.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:What's kind of weird for me is that I don't remember ever being afraid of the dark in my own bedroom, just walking through the living room or a hallway that was pitch black. Maybe it was because I could keep my bedroom secure but a random hallway is where the grue could hide and lie in wait for me? It was the Boogeyman and monsters under the bed for me. My mom fixed this by taking some air freshener and gluing some little arts and crafts things like those little flower sponges and wrapping it up to rename it 'Anti-Monster Spray'

UWBW posted:So, who remembers The Mummy? Y'know, that family film where the beetles burrow into a man's flesh and you can see them travel up his arms and into his head and devouring his brain? Oh Christ. Yeah. that'd certainly freak a kid out alright. Is there a better way to keep track of threads you've made besides having to star them that I don't know about?

Roro posted:Other things I was afraid of as a child were drowning (both in video games and in real life) and escalators. I was okay with short one that went up, but long ones and any downward escalator terrified me. I once threw myself backwards off a downward escalator and sliced my leg open while screaming because I was too afraid to go down. What the gently caress, little me. Jesus Christ, what?

I had a real bad nightmare of being absorbed by Majin Buu, when I was a kid. Lot of screaming involved. I'm just glad I never saw any of the Cell saga.

I was terrified I was going to be bitten by a spider and die. Either a black widow or a brown recluse.

Roro posted:All this pool drain talk is reminding me of that hosed up story about the guy who lost part of his intestine jacking off over the top of one, then his sister got pregnant from his sperm in the water somehow. By all means, do share!

Roro posted:There is no reason why I was so afraid of loving everything besides the fact that I had an overactive imagination and probably read books that were too mature for me at the time. I guess I lucked out in not being able to picture anything after all.

Roro posted:Yeah, being a mewling pissbaby is a pretty poo poo reward for having a good imagination. Oh, I meant to specify, I mean when it comes to reading. I don't manage to make images for what I'm reading more than half the time, sadly.
