what frightens you most?

[Walsingham]

Crikey. I had no idea so many people here had experienced it. I suppose now's the wrong time t point out that in medieval times the conclusion would be that a demon had been sitting on you?

[SteveThaiBinh]

I think sleep paralysis would scare me more than anything I've experienced. It sounds pretty horrific, especially the first time.

 

I remember reading one of the Kay Scarpetta books in which she describes being in a sensory deprivation tank. That caused a nightmare or two.

 

As for moves/TV, Sapphire and Steel: people trapped in photographs and burned alive by children without faces... :fear:

[Sionn]

I get creeped out when swimming in any natural body of water where I can't feel or see the bottom.

I always think that something is about to creep up from the darkness below and grab my ankles.

:'(

 

 

That is my biggest fear ever.

[Sand]

That is a silly fear. just stay on dry land and you never never never have to worry about it. :D

 

Unless you are in a tremors movie.

[Walsingham]

Tremors = awesome.

 

I don't think it's crazy. It's just open minded.

[Sand]

I still need to watch the third and fourth movie.

[Darque]

Silent Hill

 

The game, not the lame movie.

 

WTH??? I thought you loved Resident Evil... Silent Hill is just the equivalent of RE as a survival horror game :confused:

 

Not really.

 

One is more focused on "survival" (Resident Evil) and the other is more focused on "horror" (Silent Hill)

 

Resident Evil, while my favorite series, is more about a few shocks and in your face scares than a truely scary setting.. which is more the ground of Silent Hill.

[alanschu]

A large fear for me is that I will not play the game right. It is hard to not make a slip up, and I hope no one calls me on it while I fix the rule break

[Walsingham]

Another thing that scared me was reading Hard Times, the John Constantine graphic novel. I sincerely can't think of many things more dreadful than going to a US federal penitentiary. Well, excepting maybe another country's penitentiaries.

[Musopticon?]

I had been run over by a car before..

Oh yeah, sorry about that. Natural instinct when I'm sitting in a car and I see a Finn.. Being Swedish and all that.

It's all right, I got on with your ladyfriend, so it's alright.

 

Though seriously, a red Volvo? And that tweed cap?

Now that's scary ..!

Worst fears in order:

 

1)Public Speaking

2)Heights

3)Deep Water

 

I passed out in Grade 12 when I had to give an oral presentation on phobias in Psychology class. I used myself as an example of the symptoms of a phobia. Got an A on that.

You got an A because you used yourself as an example???

[Walsingham]

I wouldn't have graded you an A unless you'd done it on a diving board over a pool.

I tell you it's no sinkhole.

 

"9:2. And he opened the bottomless pit: and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.

Et aperuit puteum abyssi et ascendit fumus putei sicut fumus fornacis magnae et obscuratus est sol et aer de fumo putei

 

9:3. And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.*

Et de fumo exierunt lucustae in terram et data est illis potestas sicut habent potestatem scorpiones terrae"
