CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Whether 'tis normal or weird...big or small...spill! >:]

Anyways, I thought that sharks lived in the carpet. As a kid, I could never walk or be on the carpet. I'd always run, hopin' that I'd get to the kitchen floor or on the couch in time, lol

I also would always have dreams that me and all the fam were gonna go on a vacation, and they always ended up forgettin' me!! How could they?? ALL the time! XD

Oh, and the hall at night! Yes, I thought 'twas gonna eat me. I wrote a short story 'bout that recently ^^;

That's all I can think of for now..soo, how 'bout you peeps? ^.^

When I was about 5, I was scared of Thing from Addam's Family. I thought it was cool in the movie, but at night I remember being scared to go down the hall to the bathroom cause I thought this random hand would start walking down :/

And then was the day when I was about 6 and I bought this Garfield magazine. I was a big Garfield fan when I was little, but this particular issue started a fear that I still have up until now almost: the possessed doll Chucky >_< Forget clowns being scary, this thing was just *shudders* I mean, the thought of a creepy looking doll running aroudn the house with a knife is just :/ No, I've never seen the movie, but the images of that... thing from movie covers at the video store was bad enough :/ Yeah... even now I will not watch those movies^^ Just... cause.

And, like most kids there's that fear of the dark :/ This plagued me for some time, and just random fear of "something lurking in the dark". Actually this bothered me up until around the time that I became Christian. Every now and then loud noises at night can give me a startle^^ But with God's comfort (I'd say "maturity" too, but my imagination has been known to run away with me :/) it's sure been great^^

Nowadays, I get startled by disturbing images (*shudders from former google images searches* >_<) and spiders.

Snakes. I was TERRIFIED of snakes as a kid. XD I blame it on the Hannah Barbarra Bible cartoon of Adam and Eve that I watched in Sunday School. That was the first time I remember seeing a snake (I was probably three), so yeah. XD I had nightmares about snakes all the time after that. XD

I had this clown-face piggy bank as a kid. I was scared of it, but I also really liked it at the same time. So I would give it to my mom because I was scared, but quickly take it back because I wanted it, then I got scared so I'd hand it back. This went on for about twelve more cycles.

lets see...what scared me?..........i had a fear of everything!......it was scary...except people...

There are probably a lot of things I was scared of, but one that comes to mind was my little sister's skeleton key chain. It glowed in the dark, and I absolutely refused to sleep in the same room with it. I was really adamant about it.

I totally sympathize with the Chucky fear I was absolutely terrified of that doll. I remember one particular episode I had where I just shrieked and ran away crying after seeing a trailer for it on TV. I'm a horror movie fan and I can pretty much sit through any horror movie without getting too irked by anything and I still have yet to see any Chucky movies.

*nod nod* I know how it is... I see the dolls for sale in the comic book store and I point to it and with whoever I'm with, say "kill ittttt!" If someone ever decided to give me a doll even as a joke, I would honestly burn it^^

Abandonment. Particularly that which occurs at large grocery stores. I was one with my mother's pant leg at the market.
Demons. Still more scared of them than I should be.
Risking life and limb. Boy, that was a foolish one. Cost me a lot of fun and possibly some strong friendships.
The unknown. This is odd, as my blind faith levels were up there with the best of 'em. Little unknown things got to me, like what was I going to do the next day, when was dinner, what room was the cat in, etc.

Well...

The moon character sitting on a roof in 80's McDonalds commercials,
A statue at a mall that reminded me of that moon character,
Most other mall statues,
The gorilla in Roger Rabbit,
Seeing any subsequent movie in a theater for years after that,
Clowns,
A giant balloon at a circus,
The spider in SimAnt,
The alligator my cousins convinced me was in their basement,
The stairs at my cousins' house because of one time where one of them hid under the stairs and grabbed my legs,
My cousins,
E.T. the extraterrestrial,
The "huffalumps & woozles" scene in Winnie the Pooh,
The "Pink Elephants on Parade" scene in Dumbo,
Any other drug-inspired scene from a Disney movie,
The "Zizzer-zazzer-zuzz" creature at the end of Dr. Seuss's ABC's,
The gear-grinding noise the audiocassete player in my room made at the end of a tape,
The mushrooms by the shower drain in our basement,
A TV commercial for (I think) Neverending Story with faces growing out of walls,
The laser-shooting aliens in the later levels of Bubble Bobble (I was playing video games at a very early age),
The villian ("Professor Screweye"?) in We're Back,
The cheese-mold-monsters in a made-for-TV animated David Copperfield,
A spooky face that could be seen in the natural pattern of a wood door,

and more recently, Scary Bilbo

Sharks scared me really bad as a little girl. (And no I never seen the jaws movie.)
I find sharks fascinating now but I would never swim with any sharks more then a few feet in length.

Also the big stuffed bison in a museum that is in Topeka KS scared me as well.

I think I was about four at the time. And my big sister forced me to look at it and touch the scrap of hair they had on display with it. (I think I’m scarred for life because of that experience.)

I still get chills when I see the thing. I like alive bison and I’m not scared of other dead animals. But for some reason that thing just freaked me out.

Oh I have on of those, well except it was something scratched in the door that somehow managed to look like a demon-face. Slanted eyes, a big round nose, and a :/ mouth with a fang on it :/ Didn't worry me TOO much when I was young, but I just thought it was creepy how somethign like that was scratched into the door as a "it just so happens to look that way". Then again, I don't exactly know now. Maybe it WAS the act of a real demon. *shrugs* Meh, I know someone Who can protect me from those things^^

I am afraid of a lot of things....still...only now it's things like my health...instead of being left behind.

I was REALLY scared that my mom was going to get in a car accident...=.= I never worried about my dad...it was always my mom. I drove everyone crazy, I still drive everyone crazy..

Yeah but that's why we love ya, CR.

On the subject though, I was actually afraid of falling. Like falling off couches and what not didn't bother but the general idea of falling from a high area did. I had these really freaky dreams that I was just climbing this tower that I did know, but I'd never seen, and then just fall and fall, and fall some more. For about five years, I would never go higher than about ten feet off the ground, even that freaked me out, but now I love heights. The thrill of a potential accident just sends my brain whirring and I love it. Yeah I'm weird but hey, that just means I'm normal.

heights. i had a mild fear of heights. i was also (i still am) afraid of dogs. probably because i had a bad experience with a dog when i was three years old. i can still remember it clearly...

o.o What happened?

I had these lifesize posters of Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman when I was a little kid. When it was time for bed, and my mom turned out the lights, I would stare at the posters and I swear that the faces would move and the arms would flex and stuff. I have never been able to have lifesize posters ever since then. I get too scared.

Kiba-kun wrote:On the subject though, I was actually afraid of falling.

I still have that^^ I have a fear of falling, but not a fear of heights. As long as I'm safe and secure and all, nothing I have with heights to bug me^^ Although sometimes my imagination will run away with me and if I'm high up or whatever I think that somethign will break, involving me to fall... At work they use these rickety ladders that freak me out a little cause when I'm up there, they rock back and forth a bit >_< Oh well, I'll have to get over my fear eventually with it^^ I'm trying!

Reminds me when I was little, my cousin had these posters of Batman and Joker in his bedroom. Although I watched the cartoon when I was little, the poster of Joker freaked me out a little. Although even the Batman one scared me a bit too, I always though he would come and save me from Joker :/

I was a bit of a neurotic child

When I was about five or six years old my cousin was spending the night at our house and she told me that my toys would come alive at midnight. That was the first time I had stayed up till midnight...and I was scared ever since that my toys would come alive. Shortly after that I started leaving my favorite set of dinosaur toys out in the kitchen at night....

Height and still scare of it.

Oh yeah, the Joker in Batman! Maaaan, he creeped me out! XD I was afraid of clowns anyways (Ronald McDonald, I'm looking at you), but clowns that gassed people and made mass killings were scarier than ones that gave people hamburgers (now the kings that do that...they ARE scary. XD).

I also forgot to mention my fear of Oompa-Loompas. I would lie in bed at night and turn over, half-expecting them to be there singing some freaky-sounding song. XD I was also afraid of the Emporer (Star Wars) and the Wicked Witch of the West for a time. Funny, since those are now two of my favorite movies, and I'll go around singing songs from Wicked all the time, too. XD

I also had this fear of getting kidnapped or left behind in a store. I guess there was some basis for that, though, as I got distracted in a Roses department store one day and the next thing I knew, my family was gone. XD Thankfully, not five seconds after I discovered they had left, they came back looking for me. XD

Yay for being an easily agitated child!

Those Siamese cats from Lady and the Tramp scared the crap out of me as a kid.

The villian of Tron that Peter Griffin forgot the name of.

the dark,heights,clowns,aliens.

The MCP? Or was it his henchmen that guy's name that starts with an 'S'. Skark or something, was it? I just finished Kingdom Hearts 2 not too long ago so it's still fresh in my mind^^ But even then I'm forgetful with names :/

As a kid, I didn't have a monster in the closet, but a witch under my bed. It would get me if I didn't have the covers pulled up to my chin.

Also, I was afraid of dangerous heights.

Heights. I've gotten much better though.
Willy Wonka. That scene when the girl puffs up after eating the candy will haunt me forever.
Funurals. I was always afraid that they'd come back to life and start killing everybody.
Graveyards. Same reason.
Paranormal things. I have always loved the paranormal and conspiricy theories...But I also scare myself sometimes with it. (I like approaching the paranormal with a solid biblical background and think that more should look into it from that veiw.)
