Confess to an odd fear that you have now or have had in the past (other than clowns) [View All]

[Orrex]

For me, it was aliens. Not Giger-type aliens nor the denizens of the Mos Eisley cantina. It was the benevolent Close Encounters-style fuckers that absolutely horrified me. Even ET drove me nearly to catatonia, for pity's sake.

It's been about 25 years since I felt that particular fear in response to aliens like that, but I felt a glimmer of it as I flipped through the channels right now and spotted the spindly alien at the end of Close Encounters doing the sign language thing with the French dude.

FWIW, I'm reasonably sure that I've never been abducted or probed, so those two possibilities are out as likely explanations.


Anyway, what bizarre fears really shake your spine?
