I have started like three shorts and I hate all of them.
So I ask you, in the spirit of my Halloween deadline,

What is the scariest thought to you?No, really. And don't be afraid to get absolutely morbid disgusting on me. Want. The more fucked-up, the better. What's your biggest fear, your biggest dread, your biggest worry, worst recurring dream,

People being able to do things that normal people usually can't do. Like that episode of X-Files when the guy could squeeze into small spaces by bending his body into insane shapes. Knowing that he could have been hiding anywhere freaks me the fuck out. Now I'm weary of air vents.

I'm terribly afraid of the unknown. I find villains much more scary when they have no identity or if their motives are unclear.

I had a weird hallucination when I had a fever a few years ago, and it was that something was going to come up the stairs and get me (that something was a cartoon character, nbd). The anticipation and waiting for it to happen was fucking frightening. I think what I'm saying is inescapable death is my most frightening thought.

Fears and the scariest thought are quite different... I'm afraid of being alone, of being abandoned, of losing people I love. Things lots of people are probably afraid of.

But the scariest concept? I have this inexplicable fear of being alone (seems to be a trend, here) in a dark room and someone walks in, I've no idea who, and they take a knife to me, a sharp, glinting knife, only I can't see it and I don't know where it's going to strike me next. It starts in my eyes and then goes to my chest and my abdomen and down the sides of my legs, up my back and across my scapulas. I don't even really know WHY that thought terrifies me so much, but it's caused me to grab a knife and sleep with it between my mattresses or under my pillow on occasion.

Very little legit scares me in terms of horror films. Things disgust or disturb me, but almost never scare me. And I avoid the shit out of things that disgust or disturb me, so I'm short on examples :/ Generally the things most scary to me are things that relate to human nature, that are plausible. I think Silence of the Lambs will forever be the scariest film I've seen. I know that SOMETHING really freaked me out recently but I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT AND IT'S BUGGING ME. BUT OH, random thing that made my skin crawl - my dad was telling me about a drama that's just aired here about a serial killer who tried to keep his victims alive but kept failing. Just, idk, the idea of someone doing all of this shit to someone and trying to keep them alive through it. Horrible

I LOVE ROALD DAHL'S SHORT STORIES, OH MY GOD! Which collection are you reading?

Anything related to the Holocaust makes me disturbed/cry.

I'm reading The Collected Short Stories of Roald Dahl, which is a bunch of the anthologies thrown into one book. I think it's basically everything but Tales of the Unexpected/More Tales of the Unexpected? I'm reading Kiss Kiss at the moment, and I get such a fucking kick out of the endings, oh my God. It's making me want to really sink my teeth into a really great novel, though, argh!

I'm extremely afraid of sharks and spiders. My biggest fear is being buried alive or coming home after work one night to find my family brutally killed. I'm also afraid of the dark. There I said it. It's not like I turn all the lights in the house on but being unable to tell what could be mere inches away from me scares the absolute living shit out of me. I also always run up the stairs to my room because they're the open kind of stairs and I'm afraid a hand will grab my ankles or something. I'm sorry this isn't very helpful. :\

NO, OKAY, I SERIOUSLY NEED TO KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE BECAUSE THE IMAGERY YOU DESCRIBE IS *EXACTLY* THE STUFF THAT FREAKS ME OUT AND EXACTLY THE STUFF I WANT TO MAKE FILMS ABOUT. IT'S *SO* THE SAME SHIT THAT GETS TO ME, SO EXACTLY THE SAME SHIT OH MY GOD LOVE. LOVE. LIKE YOU CAN EVEN PM ME OR WHATEVER IF YOU DON'T WANT EVERYONE ELSE KNOWING HOW SICK YOUR BRAIN IS BUT I LOVE YOUR BRAIN AND WOULD LIKE TO CONVERSE WITH IT PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

(i'm so serious)
