things that freaked you out as a kid

And the first half of the Pink Elephant scene from Dumbo. For some reason, those bubblegumlike elephants gave me the creeps...

[Captain Pan]

Now this has made me ponder... and I dont do that often... But there are a few

Ghostbusters: Dana's Appartment when the Terrordogs (Think That's what their called) breaks up through the Chair and Weaver goes screamng into the light sat in the chair

Ghostbusters 2: When Egon, Ray and Winston are going through the Train Tunnel and the heads on Spikes appear... To this day it still gives me the creeps.

When Ianosh (The Gallery Curator) Knabs Oscar from the Appartment Ledge, after Peter and Dana's date.

I think its the general look of the Scenes here that do that for me... But it could also be the rapid and surprising moments that they appear in.


thedriveintheatre Watch Toy Story, and seeing Sid's toys appear in their deformed way scared me silly as a child, and for the same reason as you put, I always felt like Woody looked and felt during those times...

Only the short few I could actually think of at this present moment... But I am positive the are more hidden deep in my subconscious!

This is kind of ridiculous, but I'm scared that I'm going to go insane and do something stupid that will ruin my life and all of my hard work will be useless.

When I was little, I used to be terrified of the Zelda games - especially Majora's Mask. My friend used to play it every time I went over to his house, and I hated it. Even now, the games still give me the willies.

I'm also scared of big, mean-looking dogs to some degree. That probably stems from the time my friend got bit by a dog on her street a long time ago, and I remember her showing me the huge scar on her back. What was scary about it was they didn't know if the dog had rabies or not.

I'm scared of getting old. Honestly. I see so many old people that just seem to stay home all the time with no job, no money, and even a long-since deceased spouse. I just can't imagine not doing anything; like, not having anything to do like work or go places. And I'm scared of getting sick and having to go on medicare and paying all these medical bills.... I dunno. With all of this said, I mean no offense towards them. It's just a scary thought to me.

mo: I don't think you need to worry about that too much. The only way you'd probably go insane is if you like, did drugs all the time and fried your brain or something; or got in a horrible accident that would cause brain damage. (That actually happened to my grandfather, but he didn't go insane. To this day, though, he's doing much better.)

One word....



Bees

I have a thing about....




Bees

[The Star Swordsman]

BDC: Awww, bees only scare me when they get too close. Otherwise, they are fascinating creatures.

Hollywood's version of Godzilla. It was't the movie that scared me. It was the dreams I had afterwards that did.

Hights, do i need to explain why?

Being left alone by my self

Fear of Poison Ivy

don't know any more at the moment.

From what I can remember I was a fairly uneasy child and found myself creeped out by things that had no right creeping me out.

Two things in particular stick out...

The first was from an old disney sing along video that took place at the haunted mansion, rather embarrassingly. Here is a video

(it's not creepy at all, by the way) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Nbc8iNbY4

The second was an old Warner Bros cartoon called "Hollywood steps out" I generally found it too unsettling as a child to even make it all the way through. Again, nowadays it doesn't seem so bad.

Thanks for that flashback...

red - I always connected the concept of old age with wisdom and knowledge... and an extended mental dictionary, so I've never really been perturbed by the idea of living past the age of 100 or so. As far as you're concerned, I don't think that you have anything to worry about. You've got a bright mind; you're smart. As long as you keep your body healthy, and invest in various activities that you can fall back on, I'm sure you'll be fine. Perhaps you'll feel better after watching Up.

Oh my gosh, you had that video, too?! Holy smokes. Well, I guess you're not the only one that was freaked out by that particular song. My sister and I always used to skip past it when we were kids.

Spiders..... and they still do freak me out! lol

[wannabechef91]

Blood....I hate blood...

I'm a haemophobia Type 3. Which is the serious one, everytime I see blood, I'll pass out.

GULP!

[CMB]

^ Thats not good! lol blood makes me nauseous too though. its gross. It just needs to stay inside the body and its all good lol

[The Star Swordsman]

Spiders..... and they still do freak me out! lol

Then you would hate to be in my place. Our garden is like a Holiday Inn for huge spiders. And my school has them crawling all over in the bushes.

Well, probably you're Type 1. :O

I remember being too scared to watch the part of Fantasia with Chernabog. I've never watched that part all the way through. And now I've trained myself to stand slightly darker animated films so I've got to see that part now.

I was also freaked about about Snow White and the Seven Dwarves when I first watched it as a little kid, you know, when the evil queen goes to this creepy place with skeletons and rotteness everywhere and drinks that disgusting potion to disguise herself as the old hag.

And I used to be scared of watching Hercules because of the Hydra, the Fates, and the Pit of Souls. Now I'm not even close to scared of those anymore.

Yes, I notice they're all Classic Disney. Go figure.
