-The dark -Several characters: Mewtwo, E.T., Gollum... -Mirrors (catching myself in one in the dark and imagining my reflection changing... imagining several other fears rearing up behind me while I looked into one... This one was ironically reinforced by the Sesame Street song Monster In The Mirror, which attempted to tell kids mirrors were only as scary as you make them...but it meant they had to show scary mirror stuff to get the point across) -On the same note, the Grim Grinning Ghosts song from Disneyland Singalong Songs, which was about how "fun" and "non-threatening" a bunch of terrifying big head costume villains cavorting around the Haunted Mansion were supposed to be. NOT BUYING IT, DISNEY. Oh gosh darnit it's stuck in my head again-- -That scene in Where The Red Fern Grows where a kid trips into an axe, that one haunted me for ages -Spiders -Classic-style aliens, ie "greys" -The creepy faces made by the clothing on my shelf -Mummies
Suffice to say I was a very scared child much of the time. The list of fears has dwindled to The Dark Sometimes, Spiders, and Aliens, with newcomers Knives and Eye Gore.
