What doesn't scare you?

[Thaliur]

I'll go with the spider-likers.
At least most kinds of spiders. There are still some I would not like to have in my bedroom, but with most spider species I forged a kind of alliance. I provide them with shelter and try to not disturb them (I'm not sure if there were some vacuum casualties yet), and they in turn eat flies, mosquitoes and these larger mosquito-like beasts (I HATE flies and mosquitoes, and I'd like to eradicate those larger things. Their sound, their appearance, their crazy flight pattern, their habit of shitting on stuff and biting me... I could go on...).

Oh, and nuclear power plants. I like nuclear power plants. I wouldn't want to live near one if I could avoid it, but I wouldn't want to live near any kind of power plant because of steam clouds, smoke, noise and a lot of other things. I guess compared to hydroelectric or fossil power plants, nuclear ones are quite ok.

I know alot of people who are scared of heights, but i kinda like them, i like going right to the edge and just seeing massive drops to the ground, kinda gives me buzz.

If thats what you mean.....

Horror games don't tend to scare me. Some are unnerving, but aside from a little jump once in a while they really don't bother me.

The reason I mentioned them is mostly to contrast with horror movies. B-horror movies don't scare anyone and should IMO be relabeled as comedies with blood, but the really well-crafted ones are a truly unpleasant experience for me. Case in point would be Cujo which I watched recently. By the end, I was exhausted & covered in sweat.

I think the big difference is that in horror games, I'm empowered. I have agency. Even when Bad Stuff (TM) happens, I have the confidence that I'm in control and can respond accordingly. Even if I die and am dismembered horribly, I know that I probably could have avoided it if only I'd done XYZ. And I can reload my save and do just that. Good horror movies are different in that like a bad nightmare, you can't move, you can't control anything, you can only watch.

Fear itself.

Yes. Fear is a healthy thing. It's blind panic that kills.

OT: Zombies really aren't scary. As somebody once put it:

If we look at zombies as a species, they are pretty much designed for failure. Their main form of reproduction is also their only source of food and their top predator. If they want to eat or reproduce, they have to go toe to toe with their number one predator every single time. That's like having to fight a lion every time you to want to have sex or make a sandwich. Actually, it's worse than that: Most top predators are only armed with teeth and claws, meaning they have to put themselves in harm's way to score a kill. Humans have rifles.

Uhh... clowns? Yeah, I'll go with clowns.

I have no self-preservation instincts. And as such, I lack fear.

So if you saw Pyramid Head on the street you'd walk over to him and ask for an autograph?

 

[Brightzide]

Spiders, all bugs for that matter, heights and/or falling, black cats ( have 3 of them )...wait, is that fear or just superstition?..regardless. Tick them off. Poptarts, hoodies and the opposite sex...some horror games shit me up though, not like dead space, silent hill always got under my skin...somehow

 

[Artina89]

Horror games and movies don't scare me. I'm not afraid of the dark or heights or anything like that. Not too keen on pigeons, after one flew through my window and smashed the glass. If I hadn't been out at the time then I probably would have been killed or seriously injured as glass was embedded in the door. Yeah I hate birds now.

More likely I'd walk over and tell him to stop raping things for five seconds.
Then maybe I'd get his autograph.

 

[Paniommer]

Death, Aging, Heights, Bugs, nuclear power, public speaking, the Dark or 'creepy places', and Scary movies do not scare me

 

[Jedamethis]

Spiders!

Spoiler: So cuuuuute! ^-^

D'awwww, I want to take it home with me :3

 

[Gluzzbung]

No horror film to date that I've watched has scared me much, they've made me think and sometimes made me a bit paranoid but its proper terror as I know it's irrational. I do however HATE hights to the point that (and this is not a joke) I get scared when I look down off the roof tops when playing mirrors edge. You can laugh as much as you want but it happens and I can' stop it

 

[Emilox The Great]

Lots of over contrived deaths and tons of blood (Look at final destination)!

In fact i find it funny!

This! i like bloody movies and shiz. Zombies too i guess. i got arachnophobia though. (its a bloody curse i tell ya)

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Paranormal Activity. I spent the whole film in tension waiting for something genuinely frightening to happen, and then they just killed all that tension by making the word 'demon' come up a lot.

I think the tension was part of the experience. If the film made you tense at all, then it did its job. The fact that it was a powerful, invisible being that they couldn't escape from was scary in itself. It doesn't matter what label they put on it.

 

[The Night Shade]

Almost nothing

-being alone in the dark (depends where)
-Snakes
-Scary loud noises or faces that appear from nowhere (kinda like screamers)

That's it

 

[Josh Diaz]

[C95J]

probably this:

 

[Johnny Reb]

What don't i find scary?

The Federal Government.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

I'm not afraid of public speaking, or heights.

Yeah, and for most people the fear progression goes:

public speaking >>>>>>>>>>>>>> death > all your other silly little fears

HERE HERE! I concur!
