What Scared you as a kid?

[ibelleS]

Unsolved Mysteries, but I continued watching it anyway

I used to be freaking terrified of Re-deads from the Zelda games. They still creep me out a little bit.

oh yeah and Edward Scissorhands lmao. I watched it when I was 7

Welp, i was a little ***** as a child (still am) and i saw a commercial and there were creatures ripping off people's heads and playing games with them and the people were still running around trying to get their heads back. I was traumatized.

I'm inclined to add it was an animated commercial and i can't remember what it was for

I've a couple things that scared me as a kid:

1- there was one of those urban legends in my area where you write down a color, vertically, in the mud with a stick, and then depending on what color you chose, some cloaked skeleton would come out of either your attic or basement and do one of several things (being that this was so long ago, I can't remember what the options were.) i remember being so petrified by this that i made an announcement to my entire class at the time to make sure they did NOT do this. (Talk about embarrassing.)

2: i used to be absolutely PETRIFIED of the part in sleeping beauty where Aurora is hypnotized. The music combined with the imagery and the good faeries yelling for her just put me at such unease.

3: we had this thing called "my pet monster" and my brothers had a doll of it. Pretty self-explanatory:

Getting separated from my parents while in a store.

 

[Buttonsy]

Flushing the toilet, vacuum cleaners, really anything that makes loud noises. TBH I'm not that much better at dealing with loud noises as an almost-adult though.

 

[Irelia]

those dolls that automatically close their eyes when you lie them down
literally threw one in the fireplace because I was so scared

 

[Asutoro]

I had nightmares when I watched supernatural when I was like 4 or 5, also when I was young I was scared of being sperated from my parents lol Now that I think about it I just laugh

 

[Nerd House]

Not so much directly, but when Jurassic Park came out (I was 7 or 8 at the time), I watched it and I started to have this recurring nightmare where I'm being chased by raptors and T-rexes. I have had this nightmare at ;east once a month ever since (I'm nearly 30 now...). Thanks to these nightmares, though, I've learned how to dreamscape (the power to control whatever happens in the dream).

 

[BrinaLouWho]

Everything scared me I was a scaredy cat haha

 

[Naekoya]

The most that I've been scared with was probably after watching Chucky and Nightmare on Elm street.. could not even sleep at night sometimes and would just constantly peep out under my covers to check x3
but after as I grew older I started to watch Horror movies and it doesn't faze me anymore and rather do enjoy the suspense etc
like riding a roller coaster that gives you adrenaline rush ~ lol

 

[biibii]

I was hella scared of ironman as a kid. just the scene where he gets blown up and has open heart surgery. it always made me cry when my dad watched it oml

 

[Rasha]

we had Sega Genesis when we were kids and we had the unfortunate luck of having a Ren & Stimpy game, it had bizzare levels and was just horrifying. when my sister finally made it to the final level she couldn't complete it and I couldn't even bare watching more, that game just felt wrong and messed up for me as a kid, and I don't think I ever want to see it again.
another one is the final stage of sonic the hedgehog before the final boss (scrap brain zone, act 3), my sister was also the one playing that and I was watching and I remember only screaming at her to stop because I found that one stage to be weird is really creepy, I don't know why.

 

[KittySpectre]

When I was a kid, I was terrified of puppets! Especially The Muppets, they scared the life out of me!
I still don't really like them as an adult... Maybe because they don't have that 'nostalgia factor'?

 

[Zireael]

This is really dumb, but the vacuum used to terrify me when I was little and I honestly have no idea why. I remember being scared of it, so it's not like I was tiny and couldn't understand what it was, but it still freaked me out. It used to give me ridiculous dreams too.

Another thing was eyedrops. I had pretty bad allergies to the trees in our garden when we moved here and it used to upset my eyes to the point where I needed eyedrops, and I HATED them so much. Even now I don't think I could apply eyedrops without being a little uneasy about it.

Also... ReDeads in Ocarina of Time when I was 5. Hoooly **** it took me forever to actually get through the Royal Family's Crypt to get the Sun's Song. You bet I was delighted when I got to the Bottom of the Well/Shadow Temple.

Used to be very afraid of the dark, being alone and getting sick.
I'm still a hypochondriac but I can't do anything about that, oh well.

 

[forestyne]

Stinky boys. The dark, getting older, aliens, zombies. Mainly the dark and SPIDERS.

 

[Pretty Dead Boy]

Blood, monsters, certain 3D animations, and the unknown used to as me as a kid. Jokes on me, now I love a lot of the stuff that used to terrify me

 

[Irelia]

this is kinda weird but sleep paralysis.
I've had a few sleep paralysis experiences during my childhood (I just get the dark shadowy figure)

so I researched it as a kid, and I heard about how you could lucid dream with the WILD method, which was like staying completely still for like 20 min and having your body asleep while you're awake

so as a kid, I was always scared out of my mind if I stayed still for too long because I thought I'd get sleep paralysis again
which is so terrifying oh my god im so glad I don't get it anymore
