I sometimes hear from jaded horror fans who say nothing scares them, but much more often they have a list of fears a mile long.<br /><br />And, if my theory's correct, what's wrong with all of us? Sane people want to feel secure, not scared, right? But then again, anyone who could feel secure in this world probably couldn't be sane.Marvin the Macabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339681552363692948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331602473490911034.post-54251909316381278792011-08-18T10:24:14.647+02:002011-08-18T10:24:14.647+02:00I'm so glad you all liked this.
Prospero, you...I'm so glad you all liked this. <br />Prospero, you do have a lot in common! And my eyesight is quite bad so I could easily confuse, especially at distance. Insidious terrified him too.<br /><br />Allen, yes, I do. Bless him. <br /><br />Hey, Jenny! So glad you liked it.<br /><br />Matthew, my dear! As always you speak wise words. The mushroom thing is mainly eating them, but he does cringe and shiver a bit whenever he sees one. Given the choice he'd rather not have to see or touch them, but I love them and he does the vast majority of the cooking so he's had to learn to deal with it. This makes me sound rubbish. I do always get rid of spiders though, that's my main function in our marriage. <br /><br />Hi there, Tab! Oooh, yeah, that's a great bit. Nice to know our chaps are rocking the same fears. They should start a support group.<br /><br />Oh, Lissa, thanks so much. Yay, sharks, I love the sharks. But, in fairness, at least they are sensible fears. Oooh, you should show him the bit in Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus where the sharks eats the plane mid flight. Or maybe not. Don't worry, his secret is safe with me.<br /><br />Ha ha, Keith, your wife's list would be my fear list too. Nothing breaks me out in cold sweat like bills and dishes. I haven't seen Open Water, but as a none swimmer and a shark obssessive the premise terrifies me. <br /><br />Hi, Sarah, lovely to see you. Glad you enjoyed my post. Seems to be a bit of theme with the chaps - scary ghosties. Bless their little cotton socks.<br /><br />Jenn, my darlin'! You are a punk rock goddess of supreme awesomeness and should be everyone's heroine. When I was writing this post I was thinking about Sam and his horse fear. It's also just reminded me that I once fell off a horse that wasn't even moving. Not sure how that happened. Fundamental stupidity probably. Clearly wasn't born for country life.Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846009841300499536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331602473490911034.post-61535280370533841662011-08-18T04:21:11.033+02:002011-08-18T04:21:11.033+02:00Awesome post, Jinxy!

Some deep seeded childhood trauma. <br /><br />Also, thanks for the link.

I'd probably nominate as the best constructed and directed scare in any movie I've seen. (Closely followed by the bit where the boy turns into the man in Bava's Shock, and the bit where Barbra Streisand starts singing As Time Goes By in What's Up Doc?)<br />Haven't seen any of the Exos for years, but I always thought Exo 3 was the best by a mile, only let down by the bits with Brad Dourif ranting in his cell. <br />Blair Witch didn't scare me at all, and I was really willing it to, but it just didn't get to me. I think a first time with Texas Chainsaw always delivers the goods, and Deep Red too.<br />Mushrooms, now. In so far as they taste of dust - and I've always imagined that the sensation of eating a really fat moth would be similar too - I have a fear of consuming the little blighters. Is this the nature and extent of your chap's fear? Or is he actually scared when he sees one? In which case, hats off to the man.Matthew Coniamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302989527514886503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331602473490911034.post-40802637917132146002011-08-17T21:10:48.782+02:002011-08-17T21:10:48.782+02:00Bahahaha!

Your husband and I have so much in common, but not enough that you might confuse us for one another. <br /><br />I AM a camper/outdoors person, which is why "Blair Witch" totally scared the hell out of me. Whether the events are at the hands of terrible person or a vengeful ghost, the thought of being lost and terrorized in the woods at night is horrifying. However, like you, I found "Paranormal Activity" completely unscary and boring, with characters I hated. And while I love "Exorcist III," it doesn't really scare me (it takes a lot for a movie to actually scare me - like "Insidious"). Finally, since I am dangerously allergic, I am also afraid of mushrooms.Prosperohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447141018779024939noreply@blogger.com
