Oh, and Angela Lansbury and Dick Van Dyke. I can't be in the room if either of them are on the telly. Me too, plus spiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Those bollards are spooky! I am truly terified of clowns & that was before I read 'IT'. At least I can squish spiders with the Argos catalogue If I pass a junction in the car & a driver approaches that junction at speed, then I have to stop myself from swerving; I don't know why as I'm fortunate only have had 'near misses' so far....though the way some people drive I'm bound to....

Christian Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 that Dr. Who episode where the kids' faces kind of turned into gas masks and they wandered round saying "are YOU my mummy?" completely did for me Absolutely petrifying. Didn't sleep properly for DAYS!!! The child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. "lollipops...I smell children" Egyptian dogs/cats & Siamese types scare me. Frogs. Ever since one suctioned itself to my bare foot. *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Does anyone remember a BBC kids show shown in the 70's called Lizzie Dripping? The witch in that one was so terrifying that I suffered from insomnia for the next 10 years, & I'm not joking! I'm off to google it now....

Alis girls Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Oh I remember that - I think the woman went on to present Blue Peter. So - clowns, scary faces, toys that come to life, dark and lofts seem to be the favourites and dodgey characters in kids programmes - my kids also wind me up with "are you my mummy" - just say "NO!!!" that shuts them up I find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm starting to feel like I'm the weird one, nothing in particular spooks me. Perhaps I just have no imagination . Not that keen on huge spiders, admittedly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hmmm a bit sort of zombiefied / living dead. I wouldn't like driving past those in the dark.Sleep well Plum? Emma.x Actually it gave me something to think about rather than the things I usually worry about and I slept really well What spooks me are paintings where the eyes seem to follow you as you move around the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Anyone seen the "child bollards" in the Daily Mail today. they are supposed to get drivers to slow down outside schools. I think if I caught sight of one in the headlights I might have to be removed from someones front garden car n all. seroulsy creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodinparts Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm another clown/mask hater...and that "Mummy" episode from Dr Who....but the thing that scares me beyond all reasonable scariness is snakes...can't watch them on tv....could scare myself silly right now if I thought there might be one somewhere in the house.... I go in terror of doing a parish visit and to a family with pet snakes. Not sure how I could carry on as a responsible vicar if I had to be in the same room as one.

Griffin Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 The theme tune & opening credits from Tales of the Unexpected. It freaked me out as a child and still does now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Frogs *Shudder* It creeps me out because I don't know where they're about to jump and it really freaks me out Butterflies (of all things! ) for the same reason. I'm fine if it's a few metres away, but if one suddenly starts flapping around in my face then I'll panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallyChook Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm goth and have been since I was a tiny teen, so "spooky" graveyard angels and haunted houses = fun for me! I feel very serene in graveyards, even after dark. I have a degree in human anatomy so spent a long time in the dissection room and watching PMs so dead things also dont bother me, and as a nurse I've had to do the last offices with a number of patients when they have passed on, I just have no spook about corpses etc. I mean, if one sat up and drew fangs at me a la horror movie then I would be scared, but I feel certain that's not going to happen. The things that DO frighten me are insects. And spiders. Anything that has an exoskeleton but isnt a mollusc ie can go crunch squish if i step on it, and I am terrified. I took the curtains down in the bedroom yesterday to wash them and found a HUGE housespider on the sill, I thought I was having a cardiac arrest. Cold, clammy, faint and shaking. Gross. What else spooks me? Since I became a mum Im scared when we're in the car especially on motorways, sometimes I have to close my eyes as I am convinced (hubby is a good driver!) that we are going to crash. When on holiday in France two years ago we had to drive on mountainside roads, I thought the area was beautiful but will never ever go again as just driving to the local town had me fearful for my life. Snake pass in the UK is bad enough for me to get the jitters!! Before I had kids, I used to bomb down there on a Honda fireblade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smanners Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 SSSSSSSSSSnakes and slow worms : plants with huge leaves like Gunera: Robots and Daleks Saw some of those child bollards the other day outside a school and nearly crashed the car....... they are really freaky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Locusts. Since a 'friend' put one in my pencil case at school than asked to borrow a pencil. I unzipped it, reached in my hand and this thing (huge adult male apparently) hit me square in the chest. I was in so much of a state that I ran out of the room and went straight home. Bought a new pencil case & contents too *shudders* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I too am a total wuss. Spooky things include (but are not limited to) masks, clowns, very old buildings especially after dark, being on my own in the house at night time, things that go bump in the night, horror films, death (of people), open curtains after dark, people walking along the side of the road in the dark, playing cluedo before bedtime. Spiders are terrifying, but not spooky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 when I was little I used to be terrified of my Nan's upstairs toilet the downstairs one was fine - upstairs - not so good. it was soo bad that if i ever stayed I had to get someone to go to the toilet with me - or go downstairs Ive no idea why I hated it so much, cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickweed Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 ........ and Michael Portillos lips *shudder,shudder* That is so funny I'll never look at him the same again. I find Southport beach spooky.
