My Dad had a small cabinet in our hallway with all of his horror VHS tapes in it, and I remember being curious once and looking inside and there was all these ugly monsters from the side of the VHS looking at me! I got terrified and cried
Also, The Joker from Batman. He was scary.
Mirrors in the dark, the dark, closed shower curtains, being home alone without the TV on, black cats, and some black monster thing with a red cape that I'm pretty sure I saw in Conan the barbarian (1982); I thought that monster were in dark corners when I was trying to sleep, or behind shower curtains in the bathroom and it scared the living daylights out of me. I couldn't tell my parents about it 'cause I wasn't supposed to see that movie as I was way too young. >_> I think that's about it.
Edit: oh and, when I was taking showers and the water was cold and I had to close my eyes to rinse my hair, I'd always think a great white shark was going to appear infront of me and I was always in a hurry to open my eyes as quickly as I could. This only happened when the water was cold and I had to close my eyes. Frightening and embarrassing...
I used to love The Joker when I was a kid!Originally Posted by Lockharted
Edit 2: I googled for that monster, and apparently it was Conan the Destroyer (1984) and not Conan the Barbarian (1982). The creature's name is man ape, and this is what he looks like:

Every time you slice my fin off, another ape man is summoned. It will appear out of a mirror that is in a dark corner of a room, and bring with him a legion of black cats. All of this while riding a tidal wave of cold water on the back of a great white shark.

Sharky, you're more evil than I ever thought possible for using this against me...Every time you slice my fin off, another ape man is summoned.

Edit: you're getting rep for that though 'cause it's brilliant.

Fujiko has some of the coolest fears though. She told me a secret one and it just makes me want to hug her~~~
Reminds of a movie where a bunch of kids go exploring and find a lost treasure ship but there's some demented looking guy in the cave they go through to get there and they befriend him////
(forget what it's called but pretty old now).
This reminds me of another fear I had when I was younger. If you can recall that film IT, there was a scene in the showers that had me scarred. Someone was taking a shower and then blood started coming through drain and the crazy clown popped up. I kept thinking that was going to happen to me every time I took a shower. Luckily my fear of being smelly overpowered all my fears of bathrooms. This is just further proof why little kids should not watch horror movies.
I read a research paper detailing how your mind will make things appear in the mirror if you stare at it in the dark long enough. I tried it. I shouldn't have
The only thing I was irrationally/instinctively afraid of was walking past a dark room. I was afraid something would reach out and grab me and suck me into the darkness. I know some people who said they would actually run past the room real fast and try to flip on the light without slowing down. I never tried that, but I always looked directly into the darkness and walked past real slowly, as if I were hoping to see something. Maybe even daring it to come at me. I was a strange 4 year old
I remember seeing the Blob (the original one) and being afraid for the next week or two that every time I sat down on the couch or in a chair the Blob would come out from underneath it and absorb my legs if I let them dangle over the edge. I still sometimes cross my legs when I sit in chairs, not because it's comfortable but because I feel like I have to in order to feel secure. I get anxious otherwise

Don't think I ever saw that, but God... if I'd seen that as a kid...This reminds me of another fear I had when I was younger.

The vacuum cleaner (actually ever since my mother took the cover off the brush assembly and I was staring absent mindedly at the belt system inside, and she caught me by surprise and turned it on. Suddenly it moved and made a big noise)
And some curtains in my grandfather's house. I was laying there in the dark and the patterns looked like a ghost and I could swear they moved. Haunted curtains...
I was stung by bees a few times as a kid with no real provocation, so for a while I was terrified of bees. I've since gotten over it, but I still hate wasps.
I remembered something else I was incredibly afraid of as a kid.
I saw something on tv once that I only caught a short clip of - a teddy bear with glowing red eyes and this little devil creature (I think it was) was tiptoeing around. It was that weird 80's animation that is creepy as smurf and it freaked me out so badly. I thiiink I found that it's from this - Tales from the Darkside - Ursa Minor.
Still freaks me out when I think about it
7.3 rating too!I remembered something else I was incredibly afraid of as a kid.
