Ursula from The Little Mermaid, in particular the final fight scene where she's several storeys high and completely demonic hahAAAa. yeah so even though I'm a 90s disney kid, I don't have a lot of nostalgia for the little mermaid because I hardly ever watched it due to how much it scared me

Now, one of the things that scares me today is Espurr.
Just the soulless stare is all they need.

There was a game called DinoGotch we used to have on the computer many years ago, my brother and best friend would play it all the time. I was scared of the 3 skulls that would come up on the side of the screen when they were neglecting the dinosaur, eventually the dinosaur would die and become just bones.
They used to taunt me with it and bring me to tears.

This is how I still feel. I hate going to sleep becuz I have terrible nightmares becuz I get terrible anxiety at nighttime. Waking up in the morning makes me feel like I have been released from something terrible

I have coulrophobia, clowns scare the crap out of me. Thanks to horror movies and murder tv shows, I always think clowns are going to come after me and kidnap me or kill me. As you can probably guess the movie It has haunted me forever, I nearly passed out when I saw that movie. If I even just see a picture of a clown I will flip my lid and scream my lungs out. My friends tease me about it a lot and are always like hey look there's a clown over there, just to screw with me. I don't think I will ever be able to get over this fear
Zombies. I remember having this really vivid dream that I had a bunch of zombies sleeping in my bedroom, and for some reason I went in there and woke one up, and he chased me out of my bedroom and tried to light my foot on fire.
With like, a lighter. Doesn't make any sense but I'll never forget it!
I think it stems from this Sims game I played, you had to go into a graveyard at one point and dig up objects you needed, and the music paired with the zombies walking around made me feel nervous. I hadn't completed the game up until last year because of it.

When I was 3 or 4, I suddenly realized what death was, and threw myself on my bed crying about how scared I was that I'm going to die someday. No idea why I was even thinking about it, but yep.
I used to be scared of tons of things! I've always had an overactive imagination, but the ones that come to mind immediately would have to be... actually I think most of these are my dear ol' mother's fault. She told me that people become pregnant by "praying for babies" and since praying is essentially thinking, every time I had an off-hand thought about babies I would instantly become terrified and try to "take it back". I was 6 or 7 years old, mind. Thankfully, it was about that time I obtained unsupervised access to the internet. Huzzah.
She also told me that sleeping in necklaces would cause me to be strangled in my sleep, so naturally I was afraid of that until I was old enough to realize she bull****ted me. She passed on a lot of old wives' tales as though they were truth and I had to unlearn all of them. Pain in the booty.
Also, after playing Tomb Raider games I was convinced that spikes could, at any moment, shoot up from the floor and skewer me while I was in the shower. /shrug
(I'mma ramble about the more common fears under the cut)

As far as less oddly specific things go:
1) Ghosts/monsters/demons/etc. Not a big deal anymore because surprise surprise, they don't actually exist.
2) The dark. Also not a thing anymore - at least not when I'm in my house. I know who's in the house with me and would definitely hear if someone was trying to break in, so there's no reason for me to be afraid of dark rooms at home. Dark alleys in the city however are a different story, but that's more of a survival/self-preservation thing.
3) Small spaces. I'm still claustrophobic as hell, and I don't see this going anywhere. I went through one of those haunted houses once and it was so narrow I nearly had a panic attack. I had to just stare up at the ceiling since it was open and I could see the sky. Small rooms with no windows freak me out, but elevators don't faze me since you're barely in them for thirty seconds... idk.
4) Spiders. Also a phobia. Definitely has gotten better over the years, but is still a bit of a problem.
and 5) Raptors. As in the dinosaurs. I don't know, man.

This was when I was around 8-9 years old,
I was at my cousins house for her birthday party, and we watched Spirited Away. We only made it 20 minutes in before we had to leave, but the whole 'her parents turning into pigs' thing scared the crap out of me and my sister. I honestly keep thinking about for weeks. I decieded to watch the movie again last year, (and it's now one of my favourite movies of all time) but my sister still refuses to watch it, and she's 17 years old.
A few other things that scared me where the Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia, and that one Mickey Christmas Carol movie, where the ghost of christmas future is like, really big, and he tears of Scrooge's roof, or something like that. (I doubt anybody knows what i'm talking about xD)
And a sort of silly thing that I'm STILL scares of (like, seriously scares) is Finding Nemo, and fish in general. I honestly have NO clue why fish scare me, but I will seriously run and curl up in a ball if you show me a picture of Dory.
