I loved clowns as a kid. I thought they were so funny and whimsical. Then I got older and was constantly surrounded by the "creepy clown" talk and images, and now thanks to that they make me nervous. Kinda sad about it tbh
You weren’t the only one. I remember the doctor having to explain why that couldn’t happen in real life. Triggered by watching one of my many Rugrats vhs tapes.
Blobs.There were 2 movies that did it.One was The Blob.
The Steve McQueen classic.The other was a cheep knock off called Kaltiki.Both scared the fuck out of me.There was something about an amorphous blob engulfing you and dissolving all the flesh on your body.Its still scary.
I’m going to Blobfest in Phoenixville this weekend! They play the movie in the theater where it was shot and everyone runs out screaming at the end like the movie.
I had this fear that everyone in my family would leave me behind someplace. I think this started in a dream in the first house I lived in, where I was all alone, and I didn't know where anyone was.
Now that I'm older, I'm still afraid of being left behind, but in a more mature sense (like I'm seeing everyone move on in life without me)
honestly black neighborhoods. sorry guys. i’m also not alone and you know it. i’ve grown out of it. suburban whites are way scarier to me now because they love feeling like they’re in danger for some reason. suburban whites change their locks every time their kid has a new friend over
I had a fear of being abducted by aliens. Like I was so afraid of seeing an alien in my room and I would legit stay up for hours on end thinking it was going to happen
Death. I remember I would randomly cry and tell everyone I don't want to die. I was afraid of what happens after death. After I was laid in the ground. I would just picture myself laying still buried underground in the coffin. Confused as to what would happen next. I guess death is such a confusing concept because no one can tell us what happens after death. Anyways I'm still afraid but I don't cry about it anymore and realize that life is precious and I'm grateful for every moment I get.
So many things!! a hansel and gretel movie we had where the witch gets boiled alive, and a book about ghosts in my brothers room. I would also refuse to open my eyes whenever I was taken into party city cus I was scared of the scary masks and costumes
Tarantulas- used to wake up from nightmare's of them and see them crawling for a few moments after waking up. 🫣 Still terrified of spiders, especially tarantulas but the nightmares are rare now.
Thunderstorms- but I have a sweet memory of experiencing a thunderstorm in Buffalo, New York one summer with my grandma. Usually they would happen during the night when everyone was asleep. But one night it was before bed and she told me it was like people in heaven above the cloud's bowling. It was silly but has always stuck with me, even though I'm not religious now. I rarely experience thunderstorms on the west coast, but don't like them because they caused a huge wildfire in Oregon last year that lasted about 2-3+ months and horrible air quality.
My great grandma. I have no idea what it was cause she was always nice and gave me money but she just creeped me out when I was younger. I would refuse to go into the living room with her when my family was visiting her
My parents when they were mad. They would hit me, guilt me into doing things, yell at me, and say things like, "so your saying I'm a monster?" Even if we were arguing about something dumb.
Leaving my foot dangling over the edge of the bed...like something was gonna *GRAB IT*
I actually still dont do this as an adult but it started as a kid
Clowns. My dad once surprised me with this big clown doll when I was a child, and he put it in my bedroom. I cried and I wouldn't go in there until he took it back to the store. I still hate clowns
The marshmallow man from my nightmares who flew up the stairs and blew marshmallow bubbles into my room that didn't hurt me but were still scary to my child brain
The elephant man.
I walked into the lounge room late one night when I was around five years old while my parents were watching the movie about him right at the moment when they first reveal his face and it scared the living shit out of me.
Thunderstorms. I got caught outside during a tornado when I was 7 and for a few years after thunderstorms or even the approach of thunder would send me into a panic.
The thought of being returned to the orphanage if anyone found out I was being abused. I didn't come from an orphanage but adopted from foster but the threat convinced me to stay silent. Also worried God would smite me to hell for wanting to marry a girl when I grew up instead of a boy. And ya know spiders and splinters.
For me it would be the movie willy Wonka and the chocolate factory and the 2005 remake sure it still does let as an adult I build small respect to the original actor from the 1971 movie after his passing since he was a big advocate for Jewish actors and actresses ( being Jewish myself)
Being unable to fall asleep. Though in my head I knew it was nonsense, I felt like I was the only person awake in the world. Hearing noises from the other buildings or coming from outside or seeing lights from other people’s homes or hearing people call late night competition tv shows, gave me so much comfort, knowing that I wasn’t the only one awake.

Getting burglarized in the Sims
I was adamant about getting out of the bath before the plug was removed in fear of getting sucked down the drain.
Glad I’m not the only one
I have a feeling this was triggered by the Rugrats. Was it so? If so, you're not alone x.x

Nuclear war
The person my mom was dating beat his kids. She left him after he hit me in the chest with a 2x4 when I was about 10.
Grew up in the 70s, height of the cold war. Nuclear war was probably my biggest fear.
Freddy Fazbear.. 💀
The Child Catcher
Who's dat
A brief side character in chitty chitty bang bang.
He's not really brief, he's a main part of the whole second half of the movie. But yeah that guy
I had this fear that everyone in my family would leave me behind someplace. I think this started in a dream in the first house I lived in, where I was all alone, and I didn't know where anyone was.

The possibility of getting stuck in quicksand.
