I'm not laughing...I used to have nightmares about that.

...wierd phobias?... Well...even though I have nearly crushed my fear of the Dark. (I actually rather enjoy it now), I still feel a strange chill anytime I come across a stairway leading down into darkness. ...as if I expect to encounter something comming UP...from Below.

I mentioned this in the fear thread already, but I have this weird phobia of walking past a mirror in a dark room. Like I'm expecting there to be... something else in the mirror.

You know how some cellar ( basement ) stairs have spaces? Ya know like the person building them got lazy and onlyput the landings on but not the vertical "walls".

Those scare the crap outta me. I have a hard time actually going down stairs like that. Its like I think they are going to collaspe under me! Or a hand is going to reach trhough and grab my leg!

Eek. I still have the fear about the staircase thing *has to turn on the light whenever she's going downstairs to the ktichen*. I think I have the fear of anything too... perky. Like this one girl at my school is REALLY perky. Though I can tolerate her, I usually take my leave within five - ten minutes.

Hmm... I have a minor case of claustrophobia. That count as anything?

when ever I hear that was has been started I start to think apocalypse is coming, plus aliens said that if americans do not depart by 2007 then WW3 will be started I dont want a WW3!

I worry that if reincarnation is real, that I'll have a completely differnt personality, a bad life(disabilites, bad family, whatever) and I wont like the things I like now. I think I must be the only person worried about future lives Hmm, maybe I'll get to be a wolf

And if Christianity is real, I'd raither not go to hell I'm not a religious person so who knows.....*shivers*

I have a fear of my brother's room at night... He leaves his window open and the sheet infront of his door moves back and forth. You know those kinda movies.

Well I felt so left out, that I thought I'd throw an odd one of my own. Actually its really the only thing that scares me, and I have no idea why. Something from my childhood perhaps. Funny how its related to the film industry as opposed to something 'from' it. But when you grow up in the biz things go like that.

I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember the old, old, old General Cinema opening animattion, it looked like this.



And the background music for it is here.

Since this is about weird phobias, here it goes.

This logo, and opening scares me to death! Yes, indeed, I still get chills when I hear that music, and see that logo. Not as much as when I was a kid, but definitly still packs a punch late at night. It's so odd and funny that I wrote it into another horror script that someone else is producing.

Anyhoo, my two cents.

It may not be appropriate to mention my phobia. I love women, of that I am secure in. The impulses I get through interaction say as much. But, I've got this seemingly unbased fear of sex. No. I am not a virgin. For whatever reason, intercourse was scarier to me than going to Iraq.

I feel really weird for saying all of that. Funny how it is that I'd like to have kids of my own someday...

When I was younger, I used to have this big fear of going through door frames in the dark. They would always get really big, and I thought they were going to eat me or something.

I believe that phobia is called Coitophobia *feels proud*


These don't apply to me, but I found them somewhat amusing :
Dermatosiophobia: Fear of skin. <--- I feel bad for who has this.
Cathisophobia: Fear of sitting. <--- So they stand all day right?
Bibliophobia: Fear of books. <---- I bet over half of my peers have this at my school.
Cyberphobia: Fear of computers. <--- Nuuuuu!!! >w<'

hmmmm...a fear thread and a phobia thread. Which one shall I post in?



My fear right now is that I didn't make enough to pay my bills. I always get a sigh of relief once bills are paid.

one guy that is pure EVIL every time i hear his name i cry and go in the fetal postion his name is RICHARD SIMMONS!!!!! i don't know why i'm afraid of him i just am!!! save me from the dancing man in the short shorts mommy!!!!!

Hmmmm...I'm trying to remember if I seen that logo. I don't think GCC was in my area at the time. I know AMC bought GCC not to long ago.

There is more Santiko's theaters in my area compared to AMC. Regal cinemas move into my town. I'm not sure if they bought out Santikos. I need to look into it.

I also have a slight phobia of telephones.... I think when I was a kid once I dialed the wrong number or something because they always make me feel, horribly uncomfortable.

I used to fear flushing toilets when I was little. I thought they were trying to eat me or something.

My true phobias are of falling and of telephones. I must clarify the telephone one, though... I really don't like calling people, but I don't mind receiving them. I attempt to avoid the phone as much as possible.

my falling fear is tied in to heights, but I'm not truly afraid of being up high (hell, I climbed a ladder at work today without any problem), but I'm always afraid I'm going to fall, even on ground level. It doesn't help that I'm incredibly clumsy either.

along the lines of something that always weirds me out, but not something that I can say is a phobia -- There's a company around here that either deals in carpeting or flooring and they usually run an ad that has a song in it. The song is generally catchy but for whatever reason I'm blanking on the words. Anyway... at the end of the song/ad they have a drum beat/bass beat that goes off. THAT freaks me out. I have no idea why a single beat would freak me out, but it does!

some more...
over-flowing toilets
Yellow-tinted rooms( like thin yellow curtins hanging over windows)
The Law and Order opening sound thing..'DUN DUN'

Phones!!! I hate calling people...but..as was said, I'll pick up the phone. This is most likely because of my mentally scarring childhood "I dialed the wrong number when I was 5 and the person on the other end started yelling and cussing at me" experience.

Other than that, however, I'm fearless. If there is danger of any kind invloved you can bet I'll do it at some point in my life. (Scuba diving, sky diving, rock climbing...)

Heh. I love the sound. It means one of my favorite T.V shows are on.

Okay, I went swimming today and was reminded of one of my minor phobias. You know how if you're swimming in a nice clear lake and you look out and see where it gets darker and deeper? Well the deep dark areas scare me, namely because I keep picturing a giant squid tentecle coming out of the water and strangling me.

I know I know, all my fears are completly unrealistic, that's why they're phobias.

Aw, dangit. Now I'm gonna picture that. In tune with me imagining sharks and crocs comin' at me (though surprisingly I actually am very interested in those two animals)

That reminds me...,


My mother is scred to death to get her face wet. She nearly has panic attacks in teh shower when she has to wash her hair.

Now this stems from a very bad experience when she was younger and nearly drowned. She had been out swimming and got her ankle caught up in some plant or something. Because of its location and how deep it was, she was -just- under the surface of the water in a prone position.

She of course panic's, and no-one nitced much of anythign until it was almost too late.

Since then she can't -stand- to have water in her face. The mere thought of dorwning in a very shallow pool of water scares the bejebus outta her.
