The awkward moment when your mom calls you from downstairs...then you realize you're home alone..

Everything in the dark scares me. I can imagine almost ANYTHING in the dark. It really isn't fun. :-\

I love to be scared, it's stimulating. The thrill of Nightmares, that weird feeling at night, just watching someone play a creepy game... and more, I love it! :3

Some fucking douche bags pranked me sending me a link with a Jeff the Killer screamer. Now I always think of that moment everytime i sleep.

The scariest thing i know is old porcelain dolls, there eyes are so creepy and how they allways seem to be looking at you. I can't take it :P

I *love* scary movies. After watching "The Ring" alone, in the dark, right before bedtime, I KNEW I was going to have nightmares.

Mission accomplished! Woke up screaming. When I lay back down, realizing it was a dream, I laughed! I knew I had gotten my money's worth out of *that* film.

Last night however... I woke up from a dream that a dead girl was patting my arm to wake me up. I could still feel the spot where she had been touching me after I was fully awake. [shiver]

I'm not really a fan of being scared.

I was totally expecting a jump-scare at the end.

I get really scared when I'm alone in my house, I hear I sound then I look down my corridor..=( I know nothing'll happen but I scare myself so much that I can feel my heart beating.

I absolutely hate scary movies, video games....all that shit. IDK what it is, I just hate it lol. But I'm gonna give it a shot again.

It scares me if I'm on a treadmill and I get the first whiff of someone's fart because I know Ii can't just hold my breath for however long and.... instead I must take in deep breaths of the person's insides.... makes me shiver just thinking about

[EricByDefinition]

I've gotten to the point when I no longer have nightmares. I remember most of my dreams, and some may be nightmares to others, but my interpretation: "Wow. That was actually pretty disturbing. I handled it like a boss. :)"

[vikamironenko]

When im scared i usually never show it but it my brain im like holy sh*t holy sh*t holy sh*t. Anyone else like that?

[candiiechicks]

I'm always scared of when something being behind me with or without a mirror... Yes, I'm talking to you, White Hand.

[PsychonicJoe]

I have a lot to be scared of, darkness, heights, creepy sounds, jump scares, being chased by something i don't know, being alone... etc

[carolyndsfx]

Nothing really scares me other than death; the ceasing of consciousness.
