I once loved a good scary movie or haunted house but not any more. I am not sure when I decided I didn’t like a little scary thrill but I am a scaredy cat nowadays. And here are a few things that get my heart thumping:
1) Driving with my windows down at night. I think this is a pretty straight forward, scary thing. If my windows are down, someone will grab me. Hello!
2) Reaching under the bed. Or looking under the bed for that matter. When things end up under there, they are as good as gone. You’d think that this fear comes from one too many scary movies but no. It comes from an evil cat we had when I was little who would hide under everything and wait for the chance to claw out your eyeballs.
3) Other people in Wal-Mart late at night. They are probably there for the same reason I am. They forgot something, they’re bored or just like it when there is no crowd. But I swear my mind sees them all as serial killers hunting for prey. I practically have a panic attack when I run like hell to my car. (Then I peel out of the parking lot with my windows rolled up tight)
4) Sleeping next to my husband. Basically, he has crazy dreams and moans, not screams, MOANS in his sleep. It is hands down the most terrifying sound I have ever heard a person make. It’s awful and makes me mad every time he does it but it’s not like he can control it. Oh well. Being ripped from my sleep by zombie like moaning is just a fact of life.
5) Creepers or sidlers. People that just appear next to you or behind you so quietly that when you realize they are there it makes you jump. It infuriates me. I once had a male coworker come up behind me and poke me in the side. It startled me so much that I actually gave him a karate elbow to the gut. He was guffawing his face off until I made contact and then he doubled over in surprise and a little pain. I felt bad but it was reflex.
So this Halloween be careful, have fun and watch your back!

Haha! And the people you see in Wal Mart late at night are usually the same ones from peopleofwalmart.com - which makes the whole experience even more terrifying. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have an irrational fear that spiders will leap onto my face and suck out my brain and/or eyeballs. Even tiny spiders. I think they are all plotting against me, just me, no one else. (Yes, I am that self-involved when it comes to spiders.) Along that same line, any sort of cobweb or spider web or dust bunny getting stuck to my hand just freaks me out, so much so that I fear my hands going near anything that could contain these things.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the moaning in his sleep thing? That's gotta be scary. He needs to wake up and face those dreams or something.
