Yes, seriously, this gave me nightmares, but I always watched it. Favorite seasons are 1, 2 and 3.
Nightmares mostly consisted of the engines crashing into eachothers... :downs:

I [I]still[/I] watch it. Can't sleep? I go downstairs and sit at my kitchen table drinking a cup of tea and watching kids shows.
I am such a gangsta.

watch out for the headhumpers, gordon!
[QUOTE=MisterSjeiks;35555721]I still remember my first screamer. Pissed my pants, kept jumping because I was afraid it would grab me from beneath and still had nightmares for years.[/QUOTE]
Mine was the "Wheres Waldo?" thing, I was like 8 and it never scared me. I pressed the screen to my face and I wasn't the least bit affected.
Then I played the maze game. I screamed so hard my jaw hurt.

I couldn't even watch it now. I quickly copied the link and exited and continued with my Star Trek marathon.

I tried doing some research on it but I still don't quite understand what it is.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;35558566]This game. It was really the first game I played with anything really dark/scary in it and it really freaked me out. Every other level consists of an underground ruin with a bunch of tight enclosed hallways, very limited visibility, and enemies that all look considerably like skeletons and they all either have more powerful weapons, or really startling means of attack (and one or two with both). I remember sometimes when I'd play my brother (whose several years younger than me) would watch and to this day he's still afraid of his own shadow. And yet I still love the game, and still dread going down into those ruins.[/QUOTE]
oh my god i feel your pain. i hated watching my brother play this game.

Am I the only one that never found ReDeads scary?
The scene where Nosferatu comes into the scene in that one spongebob episode where they're working ~at night~.
I dunno why but Nosferatu scared the holy fuck out of me.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;35563758]I tried doing some research on it but I still don't quite understand what it is.[/QUOTE]
I just did a little research. It's a ghost thing that freezes anything it touches. When it walks on grass the grass will die. It is constantly looking for a friend but because of the way it looks and because it freezes stuff it can't find any friends.
It appears in numerous books and tv shows. It appears in a Japanese TV show called Moomin, based on the finnish books.
There is a Polish Moomin TV series too

The sci-fi movie Event Horizon. So many aspects of it got to me.

I can't remember being scared of anything besides this, the Ramses stuff never scared me at all, I liked the music. Haha.

You are not perfect.
Courage the cowardly dog - Gave me a fear of desolate areas.
[img]http://images.wikia.com/courage/images/8/8d/1279476535_3.jpg[/img]
by no means am I agrophobic, but this picture, Muriel's home made me shit scared of desolate places, and still to this day I'm unnerved by it.
When I remember this idea of Muriel's home, I see the windmill and house in black and white and the blowing of the wind, which leads me onto my next fear.
Too quiet fear.
It's cliche but if it's silent or there is too much ambient sound (humming, wind, but not ambience made by living things) I really worried. I sometimes have nightmares where it almost feels like the ambience is fear and it's caving in on me, slowly.
Smile.dog
I read into it too much when I was 13, and then the FPer Ninja101 gave me a virus that set my desktop background to smile.dog. It still worries me.
Also I really need help remembering this game. It was on the PS2 and I thinking had the demo but I can't be sure. Anyway, the scene that has scarred me for my whole life so far is where, if I remember right, this girl walked into this house or something and as she walked down the hall way, loads of hands started to come out the walls.
Funnily enough I have a vlog type thing about Childhood fears. Its basically just what I just said here but I haven't uploaded it.

Bitch Please.
Search up 'Mario 64 Evil Piano'. SWEET MERCIFUL BATMAN.
The Brave Little Toaster.
Now keep in mind this was when I was REALLY little, but that was a scary film. It is really dark and has some depressing and creepy themes for a little kid to be exposed to.
The other one is F.E.A.R.
I got that when it was first ported to PS3. I spent the end of the game at like 1 in the morning playing it for hours to finish it. I went to sleep and proceeded to have awful nightmares the whole night. To some extent, that game has changed my psychological state irreversibly.
well if the present counts that bit from the Mist with the spiders
it was really freaking unnerving and drove home how little you wanted to go outside
well I suppose it didn't technically give me nightmares because of that ridiculously badass old dude hulking the fuck out and stabbing the biggest spider RIGHT IN THE FUCKING FACE with just a pointy stick then tossing it aside like it was a piece of trash, but it was still really scary before that

The Belmez Faces.
There was some book that had them in there that my aunt gave me when I was 10, scared the shit out of me.
I'm too scared to Google it for you guys because images might come up :v:

[QUOTE=Chicken Magnet;35549288]I saw a little bit of a cartoon movie that had some scenes of rabbits fighting each other and ripping each other apart when I was a toddler. I had nightmares about it for years afterwards. They started to become less scary when I was about 6-7, but I still am a little unsettled by thinking of them.
Edit: Found a video with these scenes (although I think this video kind of over-dramatizes it).

What the fuck. Now I'M going to have nightmares. Anyways, one day there was a nasty hailstorm. There were alot of dead birds in our back yard, and I went out to look at them. I had never seen anything dead before, and it terrified me. Gave me nightmares for weeks about things dying.
Well when I was 9 to 10 I saw this old Mockumetry called Alien Abduction in Lake County. Generally the reason i was scared shitless of it because they barley ever showed the aliens and it was so damn freaky with a whole family defending their lives from aliens while the little fucking girl is all calm and saying. "Go outside, it's safe, they're gone."
