What frightens you more than anything else?

I've been watching The X-Files lately and noticed every time there's an alien episode, I have trouble sleeping at night. Even as a 25 year old man, the idea of these oblong-shaped greys getting into my home and surrounding my bed is horrifying. Like the Amityville Horror or The Exorcist, it's the kind of thing that is only scary once you're left to your own thoughts.

Also, sea monsters. Sea Monsters have always terrified and fascinated me. To this day, I still remember Unsolved Mysteries running a segment on Nessie with some Columbus-era sketch--very creepy. Whenever I dig into mythology from any culture, sea monsters are the first thing I go to.

What about you guys?
 
We talking monster wise or scenario wise?

Scenario: Buried alive

Monster: Tremors

Worst case scenario: Buried alive and getting eaten by tremor
 
Roaches. I'm not going to post a pic :lol

The sea monster is a more realistic thing to be afraid of.

A few years ago people would have said the same about a black president :P

If you are talking about what I think you are, they aren't tremors they are graboids. :D
 
Being far enough into the ocean to not see land (ocean fucking creeps me out unless I'm near the shore).

Spiders, waterbugs, things with little ugly eggs everywhere, honeycombs/wasp nests or things that look scary like that.

Oh yeah and walking sticks (the insect).

Today I had a dream that my dick and balls just dropped off and ran away. I searched all the town for them, but couldn't find them, so I went home and saw on TV that "it" is now in charge of Universal Health Care reform. I booked a flight to DC and made an appointment with "it" , so I urged "it" to return, but "it" told me that I don't need it anyway, since i never use it, so it has a much more interesting life now, so "it" called the security and they kicked me out. Then I died because I couldn't pee.

That dream! My worst nightmare ever!
 
I don't know if I fear it more than anything else but being crushed and feeling your sternum break seems pretty damn scary.
 
Situation: Getting swept out to sea. Not sea monsters. Not sharks. Not freaky looking fish from the depths of the lake of fire. No. Getting swept out to sea and being at the mercy of the current is what gets to me.

*shudder*

If I were Tom Hanks, I'd have died on that island right beside Wilson.

Monsters: Demons. Not the horns, wings, tail and pitchfork kind, but the "I'm going to possess a child/puppy/squirrel and f*ck your shit right up" kind. I think it's more the innocence perverted thing that freaks me out.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose freaked me right out for this very reason.

Real Animal: Cane toads. I can deal with large predators, frogs, mice, rats, flying insects and spiders, but not these warty abominations. Ewww.

This. Dying alone out at sea, especially at night, would be about the worst thing I could imagine.

Pretty much my only real fear. I've been alone for most of my life and the idea that no-one will be there when my time is up scares the shit out of me.

The part where her dormmate wakes up and she's contorted on the floor staring at her is really freaky.

Falling from a really high place. Heights terrify me. I traveled by plane ONE TIME and it will never happen again if I can help it.
 
Never gathering the courage to go out and connect with someone. 26 years old and before you know it ill be 50 and alone.
 
Situation: Being in proximity to sea creatures that are substantially larger than me and could easily kill me by accident scares the bejesus out of me. I prefer the idea of being on land and being able to get the fuck away. Also, I can't handle the idea of being in water where I can't see the edges. If in any direction I just see that deep bottomless blue, all I'll be wondering is what direction Jaws is coming from.

Animals:The thought of being eaten alive by a shark scares the fucking shit out of me. Not quite as bothered by other animals, strangely.

Strangely enough, I have a morbid fascination with great whites. I watch all the documentaries, read the books, gawk over news stories about attacks… So after a few months of going out, my girlfriend (now wife) she signed me up for a shark-diving tour for my birthday. Genuine FUUUUUUUUU moment.

Very few people are really afraid of heights. Chances are, you can stand next to tall buildings and at the feet of mountains and not feel even slightly perturbed. It's depths that people are scared of.

It's one of those things that starts off OK, but gets progressively more horrifying as the scene goes on.
 
I will toss in inopportune flatulence too. Having to hold in a fart on a first date in the car, no matter how short the drive, is like the worst feeling ever. You begin to hate the person you're with just because you want to fart so badly.
 
Being buried alive fucking terrifies me to the point that I might ask in my will or something to be stabbed in the heart to be sure that I am dead.

Also heights, roaches and ghost, I am both terrified and extremely fascinated by the concept of ghosts. And last but not least, not finding that special someone, as cheesy as it may sound, it fucking scares me into panic to end up all alone D=
