After I read Stephen Kings "It" I totally dislked them. After I saw the movie, I was surprised what a little make up can do. Pennywise was portrayed as a really evil clown; but in some way the creepy mood just got killed by... don't really know; bad screenplay maybe?
I wouldn't like to meet a clown like Pennywise; but some different ones should be no problem (I hope?).

EDIT:

In addition to clowns. I just thought of "The lost highway". The man with the anaemic face; how he looks and acts - just his presence makes me shiver. He's like some kind of ghost

The fear of the anticipation of pain

Also, falling (not heights)



Signature? What signature!?

I have a pet lizard so i have to feed him crickets and occasionally a few may escape. If they do ill happily bend down and grasp them in my hand but if it jumps ill jump then get chills down my spine plus goosebumps but then ill try again to pick up the cricket which i think is rather strange.

I also have a strange fear of falling, its not the thought of falling and hitting the ground its the strange feeling you get in your gut as your falling.

Im also like DrGlass, i get my self really worked up about stuff coz i keep thinking about it, like when i watched Grudge it was past midnight and i was the only one awake. When i left to got upstairs i had to turn of lights behind me leaving the stairs dark and not seeing anything behind me and i think i running by the time i got to the top of the stairs.

Wow, didnt think i was scared of so many things and theres things i did mention like i wont go caving because i have a fear of getting stuck and not getting out.

I've got a pet snake, and I feed it mice. It's so cool! Unfortunately, I can't feed it live mice, because if the snake isn't hungry, the mouse will eat parts of the snake while it sits there. So I feed my snake dead frozen mice, but it's still neat to watch it open it's mouth so wide. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I had this fear as well. My Master says: "Pain is your friend". And as the years went by, this fear of pain ... wel it didn't disappear; but it grew small.

I guess it takes just time. I realised that pain is one way of how the body speaks to you. It really helps to listen what he wants to tell.

Perhaps then you have Phobophobia (Fear of phobias). Or even Phobophobiaphobia (Fear of fear of phobias).

LOL our flat at uni was way freaked after watching the grudge! The bit with the grudge coming up the covers of the bed :-Z

I used to have pet lizards too, and the same problem- don't like insects, but I didn't mind picking them up (the little crickets) or wax worms. Hated getting locusts, too big <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/argh.gif">

Is there not a fear of being afraid? Considering how this thread ebbed and flowed, its a wonder some of us didn't invent a new strain of phobias. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">




There is no history until something happens, then there is.

When we shot our 2nd movie "Body Park" I played the dead body of the guy I played in the prequel who died before. And for that they covered my face and my chest with these little bastards. Boy, that wasn't creepy at all. It tickled like hell. And I had really to concentrate. A laughing dead body is kinda unnatural. I need to do a screen shot of the DVD, because I don't have a picture jet; If anyone is interested

1) Heights. I never like to stand on top of something that reaches more than 10 CM above ground! (yes, 10 cm freaks me out!). It has a thing to do with...
2 - Afraid of stairs. I was pushed down from a very small staircase (about 40 Cm or so...) so that I had a just a crack(!) in a bone in my finger. It was nothing to worry about. But I still haven't really gotten over staircases I cannot grip onto something... (except for the ones I know i CAN'T get hurt with or thrown down from <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> Like the ones in my house <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">) It's just... if someone pushes you from the staircase, you fall and get hurt... which brings us to the next point...
3 - afraid of getting hurt. If I know something will hurt me plenty, then it depends on how much agony and pain it creates, whether I actually dare to do that or not <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">


The three things I fear the most!
I'm not afraid of dying. I'm not afraid of bugs. I just HATE them. Not scared. Hating. (the bugs and insects (wasps, spiders)... not dying <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">). They are discusting.

Pain is something that doesn't scare me at all. I mean I dont like pain, and I wont seek pain, but if I need to do something that will hurt (this includes doing stressfull stuff, like 15 mile hikes with a 40lb pack on) I will do it, becuase pain is only in the moment.

Think about it you ram your head into a wall, sure it hurts, but once the pain is gone its like it was never there. I also belive you can overcome pain though meditaion type stuff. I've been able to "will" away head achs and minor pain, the same way I can give myself head achs by just thinking about it.

Though something that does freak me out is being bound and torchered. Not being able to move is just crazy to think about.

Yeah I'm not afraid of pain either... but then again I've never truly experienced anything excruciating like child birth or a slipped disk. I've never even broken a bone for that matter.

I guess I'm kind of weird, but I remember not being bothered about the dull ache I used to get after having my braces tightened. I used to almost enjoy the sensation ... partly because I knew it was straightening my teeth I guess.

I get shots every week to keep my allergies down, and they barely hurt at all... but I kind of look forward to feeling the pain. In this age of medication and treatements and knowledge we very rarely live through pain, which is something that almost everyone had to do in the past. It makes me feel alive (when it happens occasionally)... and I'm happy to have a tiny bit of it as opposed to none.
