50 fearsome things


~ 50 FEARSOME THINGS ~

(Just for clarification, I've color-coded the list: Good Creepy v. Bad Creepy)
  1. The following sentence which I read in a news article: "Genetic modification of the smallpox virus would make any cases of the disease easier to detect, say some scientists."
  2. The Zuni fetish doll from Trilogy of Terror.
  3. Centipedes.
  4. Fundamentalists.
  5. Snakes, newts, salamanders and toads.
  6. Rats. Particularly roof rats ... which hang out above our heads!
  7. Corporate America. And, worse, Corporate Media.
  8. Zombies. When I drive late at night, I become seriously anxious if I see a human figure walking along a quiet road. If I stop will I be a good Samaritan or a zombie snack?
  9. The Dentist.
  10. Bogs & Swamps.
  11. Ball lightening. Though I’d love to see it before I die.
  12. Being burned alive.
  13. Feral Pigs.
  14. Cancer.
  15. Sideshow performers.
  16. The Jersey Devil / Mothman. I believe I saw something similar when I was a kid.
  17. Demons.
  18. The Bush Dynasty.
  19. AIDS.
  20. "Bad Seed” type children.
  21. The Nutcracker Suite.
  22. People who make their living by collecting delinquent accounts. I can’t imagine having to do that. No wonder they are so mean.
  23. Mediums & Spiritualists.
  24. Grays.
  25. A specific werewolf that used to come to me in my dreams.
  26. Exorcism.
  27. Serial killers.
  28. The psychological puzzle of the serial killer personality & profiling.
  29. Being buried alive.
  30. Implements of torture.
  31. The creepy girl from The Ring. That fast-advance-toward-the-camera trick gets me where I live.
  32. Martyrs.
  33. Historical Sadists.
  34. Realtors.
  35. Maggots. Stemming from a true childhood horror-house.
  36. Bats. A couple of childhood traumas are to blame. These days, I make an effort to attract them to my yard, but I bet I’d still scream like a little girl should one wander into the house.
  37. Pod People.
  38. War. Any war. And all war. Amen.
  39. Stranger abduction.
  40. Tornado warnings. ‘Don’t know if my heart beats fast out of fear or excitement.
  41. Bugs from “the south”. From fire ants to writing spiders — okay, insects and arachnids that live where it never freezes…they are too fierce and too big.
  42. Satanists.
  43. Will-o-wisps.
  44. Ouija boards. You couldn’t pay me to play with one of these…even though I read tarot cards. Go figure.
  45. Karen Black.
  46. Global Thermonuclear War. (As in Wargames.)
  47. Black Eyed Children
  48. Even thinking about the movie The Human Centipede.
  49. Roanoke.
  50. Witches.
