Nightmare fuel

[Cairnie]

Hi RPC I'm curious. Surely at some point in our lives, we were scared of something that's not meant to be scary, and that sort of shit would be called nightmare fuel. What was yours?

For me, the shit I was scared of would include but certainly not be limited to: Super Mario Bros on the NES, nearly every single BBC Video ident ever, among others. Cases in point.

I was scared by some clay animation movie too :O it was something called 'blokkendoos' we recorded it on video, and I watched it over and over again but it was scary I can't find it anymore but it was some character named 'charlie chuck'

[Holy Crap]

I used to be scared of this little creature that appeared on packets of Smiths Chips...

The groke still gives me the shivers.


And also this boat.

Gawd it's tiny NOW but when I was little I thought it was huge and it opened and closed its jaw and it was unnerving.

I was also afraid of the girl from the Ring (I had sneak-peeked on it when I was little, durr).

The Moomins in general scared me

Well, The Gate, and The Blob. The Blob mostly when I was taking a shower, and I hoped I wouldn't be sucked down the drain. That was not a good site. The movie in general was very gruesome in the way the blob took people. I mean, the same way that blob guy takes people in Futurama, but you die and its ugly.

Rayman Junior wrong answer traps always disturbed me as a young child. The evil plants still scare me.

Mr. Dark kinda gave me the creeps as a young child too, when he appeared after the Space Mama fight in the original game.

I used to be afraid of my alarm clock because of its sinister bell sound!

Teenagers, doubledeckers and ovens were amongst other things that scared me as a child.

When i was a very young kid i was scared of Clowns.
But i'm not anymore.

That giant red monster from Bongo Hills

Haha, yeah I used to fear teenagers outside shops and in the streets! It seem ridiculous now but yeah.

[Phoenixan]

I've been scared of clowns.

Though I didn't mind seeing Cirque du Soleil, but...

Clowns.

Steven King's It didn't help me either later in life.

I am a teenager now and I'm still scared of teenagers. Oh, and clowns. There must be more, but I can't think of anything now. (I'm quite the scaredycat)

EDIT: Ah yes. When I was like 8, I tried a Barbie game (I believe it was called Barbie Detective). In the beginning you heard a laugh of the bad guy. That laugh was so scary, I kept hearing it in my head for days. D:

It used to kinda give me the creeps when my PC BSOD-ed and destroyed my work. (Back at this time, the CPU fan was faulty so this was a nightly occurrence)

[Puruun]

Weren't you afraid of girls as well, Plum?

[PluMGMK]

No! Not in this way, anyway.

[Puruun]

Oh really? Some of your posts make me think you are.
