I want to know what movie(s) genuinely scares you, if any. For me, it's Pet Semetary. Here's a few reasons as to why:
1) Little kids already creep me. Add to the fact that one raises from the dead, and I'm tinkling all over myself.
2) Achilles Tendon. Admit it. If you've ever had to get in your car alone at dark, the thought of someone hiding under your car and slashing our Achilles Tendon has flashes in your mind.
3) "Raaaaacheeeeel." If you've seen the movie, I don't need to explain this.
It. Im not scared of clowns, but they really bug the out of me. All I've even seen of that movie is Pennywise chilling out in the sewers and grabbing that kid's boat. That was enough to make me not really want to watch it. I love horror, too!
Ghosts kinda creep me out. Looking back on Paranormal Activity, it was stupid. Everything about it. But it did creep me out. Ghosts scare me because I know that there is nothing you can do to fight a ghost. It'll just toy with you until it's ready to kill you.
Demons, because of the fact that they are real.
Pennywise, because I saw the movie and read the book at 2AM, and sadistic freaks Ex. SAW
Okay, first off, Mike, what the hell are you talking about, a child rising from the dead? :P I sure hope you're talking about a movie, and that you don't think your neighbor is performing demonic rituals to make zombie babies.
But my own fears? Most of them aren't tangible, honestly - failure, for example. I also have a few internal fears. Such as a fear of schizophrenia, knowing that I do have disorders that have links to it.
While not exactly a fear, I find it odd that I dislike spiders inside my home, but perfectly fine with them outdoors. Unless I walk into a web. I won't kill it, but I'll be covered in web and seriously annoyed.

Hahah I was talking about in Pet Semetery. The whole premise of the movie is this little boy is killed and his dad buries him in an Indian burial ground because it brings dead things back to life. I was just sayin that kids already creep me out. Turn one into a possessed demonic zombie child and im REALLY creeped out.
Outside of Pet Semetery (and It. That movie creeps me out as well,) im deathly afraid of water bugs and cockroaches.
Insidious was the most recent 'scary' movie ive seen, it was decent. However i prefer reading(Stephen King especially, the movies do no justice)
As far as movies go, not too much scares me. It's more the monsters I create in my head (like the one that's behind my shower curtain at night) than in movies. That being said, the original Excorcist was pretty disturbing. That movie freaked me out.
Outside of movies, sharks and my health. I will avoid anything shark related at all costs (playing bioshock 2, I was terrified the whole time), which is strange. When I was a kid, I loved watching anything and everything related to sharks. Now I'm scared of them. As far as health, I have a cardiac nurse who yells at me to go to the ER to get my blood checked, for heart issues. It's pretty unsettling.
Bugs do not scare me... Bugs running across my foot scare me! I am also deathly afraid of bees particularly yellow jackets. (I stepped on a nest as a child, and to this day, they reduce me to a crying, screaming maniac.)
Movie-wise, I just don't watch that many scary movies, and when I do, I watch them during the day with all the lights on. At night, I turn into a paranoid mess. If I watch the extended Thriller music video at night, I burst out crying and hyperventilating, but then I have to finish it to get closure. I love a good scary book! However if I am going to read it after dark, I have to finish it. I cannot just put it down without the closure.
PS - if you want a good cyber thriller, read The Blue Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver.

After watching Alien 3 for the first time, I was scared to take a shower. And for confusion, it is because of the scene where the alien grabs/kills the doctor through the curtain in the med bay.
._. safety glass shower it is then
Exorcism of Emily Rose scared the .poo. out of me one time....I got really chinesey 👲 and decides to watch a movie in the dark, alone and the scariest movie I had. When it got to the part where she's alone in the dorms, I hear some random sound in my bathroom. This was right when the blanket gets pulled off her.
I turned on the lights and got all paranoid. 😱
That's a scary movie doing its job right
I'm severly trypanophobic (fear of needles), and bee's just freak me out more than anything else on this earth. It's not what they are, it's the aggressive behavior they display and how much pain they can cause in a matter of milliseconds. Idk that's me XD
I'd like to thank my dog for reminding me of this. Dogs can hear a lot that people can't hear, and it really freaks me out when my dog is just sitting calmly and suddenly starts growling and runs to look out of the window in the next room. I always slowly peek around the corner and glance out the window to make sure there isn't someone just like, standing there, looking in my window. It's awful!

I used to be afraid of bees when I was a kid (one landed on my eye when I was six or so, really scared me that it would sting my eye) but I got over my fear of them as an adult once realized how comically stupid bumblebees are. I can't be afraid of them now, they're just little floating pollen dummies... Don't mind them flying around me at all anymore. Maybe we bonded with our dumbness :P
Money, not money itself, the fact that what people do for money is scary to me.

That's a good point. It is pretty frightening what length some people will go to for wealth and financial gain.
On a related note, stupidity scares me. The things people do out of blatant, simple stupidity and/or ignorance can be downright horrifying.
Rape/murder/abduction. People who hurt other people, specifically children. The fact that there are such messed up people in this world.
Ironic that this thread is in "Fun Stuff".
I haaatee surpising stuff+ stuff jumping out in movies, like in Hunger Games where its completely silent and theyre looking around, and then BOOM a giant dog is eating them.
Even if I know its coming, I close my eyes. It creeps me out so much.
Stephen kings "It"... I used to wake up at around 430am as a young child and sneak downstairs to watch horror movies on the premium channels. Needless to say, I saw It at about 3 years old, and clowns have never ceased to creep the living hell out of me ever since.
I am deathly afraid of cockroaches... I had a traumatizing experience as a child and now I freak out just by seeing one..
Other than that, the only thing that really scares me is the uncertanties of life. The fact that any terrible unpredictable event can happen at any time terrifies me inside, especially if it could mean I die from it. That genuinely scares me..
Hights.
The only thing I can say I'm truly afraid of now is waking up and finding something bad happened to my wife and/or daughter. I couldn't live without either one.
Large bodies of water, sometimes even pools if I can't see the bottom, just because how much do we know about underwater life, and I mean come on, the thought of something twice as big as me hiding right under me scares the piss out of me. It's ruined a lot of opportunities, but I just can't overcome it. I blame the fact that when I was 5 I watched the movie megalodon, about that giant shark being found in an underwater cave.

Completely agree.
Looking through a zombie deck anytime past 10:00 when I'm alone....
I was scared in Iron Man 3 when Pepper fell!!
Spiders (shiver, shiver) my friend said once she fownd a wolf spider in her boot if that ever happens to me I think I'll faint...
Spiders terrify my so much.
*sees daddy long leg*
SOMEONE HELP BEFORE IT TURNS ME INTO ITS MINION SPIDER BABY
