my dad showed me “pan’s labyrinth” when i was around 7 and the monster with the eyes in his hands scared the shit out of me. every time i was in the dark, i thought he was there. i didn’t stop being scared of him until i was about 12.

If it helps, I was in my 30s when Pan's Labyrinth came out , I went to go see it opening night, and I'm still scared of the guy with the eyes in his hands.

I’m still afraid of taking a shower during a thunderstorm because I’m afraid I’ll get electrocuted through the pipes

The lube action Grinch. I was absolutely terrified of him and even believed that he was hiding under my bed ready to kidnap me.

Being trapped in an elevator.

One of my aunts stayed on the 15th floor of a block of flats. My mum hated taking me to visit her.

My parents bought me a book about the universe when I was in Elementary school. It was also around the same time that Treasure Planet was released. After reading the book, and watching the movie, I developed an irrational fear that the Earth was going to fall into a black hole. That fear lasted a couple of years, but it has since evolved into an anxiety that visits me periodically even 20 years later.

Being kidnapped. I'm still not sure it was irrational, maybe I'm just lucky.

Shrimp. When I was less than 6yo I thought that they would wake up in my stomach and go swimming around my body.

Really, all my mom would have had to do was show me a picture of a living shrimp and the fear would have gone away. I don't think I ever told her though.
