    I don't think anything can compare to walking in on your parents having sex. Looking back on it now i think why the f*ck didn't they just lock the door and save me from years of trauma.

    My uncle standing over my bed in the middle of the nite asking if i'd seen the elastic from his underpants waistband

    The fire siren from the local chemical plant going off. I thought the nazis were invading.

    I still get a chill when I hear it. :o

    People round my way pronounce 'scared' as scarred, so . . .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,800 ✭✭✭Aishae


    house demons - if you've ever heard of that idea. was convinced they lived under my bead and danced over me at night - all belt shapes.
    i know it sounds a bit mad - but the short time i thought it was real left me afraid of the dark and leather belts for years just cos the belts were the same shape!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭Sticky_Fingers


    I had to sleep in a room with a massive mirror at the end of my bed. For some reason it always scared the crap out of me and thought that monsters could use to to gain access to my room.

    evil jesters

    I used to think they could come to life and kill ANYTHING

    Me too! might have something to do with the transformer outside my house getting blown down onto the roof over my window and sparking like mad one night when I was small


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 303 ✭✭Debthree


    Vampire at the window scene from Salem's Lot. I was traumatised.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭pawrick


    I was terrified of the hedges in our garden or to be more specific that a hand would come out of it and grab me if I walked too near.

    The Undertaker in WWF/E.:o

    my biggest fear was that someday i'd become one of those saddos that spend their sat nite on online chat rooms.

    How old are you, 10?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,059 ✭✭✭Buceph


    Some TV show where the witch had loads of faces, and could change them.


    And going from room to room via the hall with the light off. I'd have to lean out stick my hand around the door and turn the light on before I opened the door fully.

    I saw the film ''Fried Green Tomatoes'' when I was 4 or 5 and there was a scene where the KKK burn somebodys house down or something like that,remember having recurring nightmares of the guys in white sheets coming to burn down my gaff for the next few months after that!

    Trust me, It's better you walk in on both parents than to walk in on just one.

    Holy fcuk, I had the same fear -- I just remembered that for the first time in decades when you said it.

    Werewolves and men with beards.

    Women with beards didnt bother me so much.

    My baby sitter..:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,006 ✭✭✭MistyCheese


    When I was a kid another kid scarred me. She bit me.

    The scar is on my finger.

    I also scarred myself with a sharp-ass knife once. Not in an "emo" way, in a "cutting vegetables and the knife slipped" way.

    That's it. It scared the bejesus out of me. I had to jump behind the couch whenever the witch came on.

    I'm sorry, but since when do people "local" chemical plants?

    With Alarms?

    Going off?

    "Just popping down the local shop, love. Need anything?"
    "Pint of Milk?"
    "Sure. Anything else?"
    "Hmmmm ... oh yeah, could you nip by the local chemical plant and pick me up three litres of propylene oxide?"
    "No bother."

    Well its a chemical plant that's local to me. I'm actually not sure what they produce in it. (Edit: Oh Biocides, apparently). But an alarm goes off usually on Wednesdays at 12.30pm. I think its a safety alarm/drill they do in case there is a fire or spill.

    And it sounds like the Nazis are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I remember hardly any of it, bar the multi-faced witch. I either blocked out the traumatic memories or I spent longer behind the couch than I can remember.

    Even out of curiousity, I wouldn't watch it now.

    what scared me at the time (was 9 or 10), was Pennywise from Stephen King's IT

    The ones in my area had red lights on top so I thought they were where Santy would have a break when he was going around the world... :o

    This happened to me recently and at the age of 23 it's isn't any less disturbing seeing it at this age as it would be as a child. GET A LOCK!!

    Wharf from Star Trek.
    Wierd noises outside in the dark.
    The Headless Horseman.

    My own imagination basically. Except for the Star Trek thing. Don't know what the hell.

    Ah, the old vaginaphobia is rampant these days. Nothing to be ashamed of there. You need to befriend it - as you would a wild stoat - and from this will come acceptance of the organ.

    Mae Young's breasts in the WWF... and then when she gave birth to a hand


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    When i was about 3-4 i woke up one night and ran downstairs for some reason to the living room. My mom had fallen asleep and the tv was on. I remeber the Bravo channel was on and there was this really weird movie on. In the movie a man kissed another man and then one of them melted so there was a pile of red goo with two eyeballs in it.

    To this day i have no idea what the hell that movie was called or what the hell it was about but for a few years afterwards i thought that if a man kissed another man they would melt into red goo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,633 ✭✭✭Feeona


    I'm sick of people trying to blame Bravo for their homophobia :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭nisior


    Does anyone remember that film about 'cat-humans', they were people who had the soul of a cat or something? I think they were killing people in this villiage. It used to scare the poop outta me just thinking about it. I only saw it once on Network 2 (as it was called) and it was the first night I ever stayed up past 12 and I regretted it ever since. No idea what the film was called and never saw it again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,900 ✭✭✭Quality
