People, celebrities mainly, who have had either too much, or badly-done plastic surgery.

Empty bus stops late at night

Why below 9?
So 9, 10, 11 year olds dressed like prostitutes don't give you the creeps?

And what's the upper age limit of women who dress like prostitues that wouldn't give you the creeps?

This is a great topic!

For me, the top 4 would be...

1. Carnivorous "bugs", especially spiders and praying mantises. With spiders, it's more the bug (well, arachnid) itself that's creepy. Mantises don't look especially scary, but the way that they will start indiscriminately chewing on whichever part of their prey is closest to their mouths can yield some really creepy results. I once saw a YouTube clip of a mantis eating a bee face-first, until there was just a twitching brain-stem remaining... ughhhhhhhhhh!! :shaking: I will probably never get that out of my nightmares now, but it happens every day in the insect world. And I can't look away when I find something like that because although it's really horrible, my morbid curiosity gets the better of me.

2. Supernatural horror movies... those just go straight into the "nope" file for me. I don't like being startled, but it's 1,000 times worse when it's by some deranged skeletal apparition with glowing eyes that wants to eat your soul. Curiously, I'm not afraid of zombies at all, not even a little bit. It may have a ravenous appetite for human flesh, but if it can't scheme and plot and plan, has no conscious will of its own, and/or if it's mindless, I'm not afraid of it.

3. Decapitation. Like a number of Aspies I've met, I have a heightened sense of bodily integrity; I am unnerved by grave bodily injury, especially the loss of a limb. And I also value my brain. Plus, I just can't fathom what it's like to be separated from the rest of your body, so the whole notion just freaks me out.

4. Drowning / the ocean. I love oceanographic movies and I think the sea is beautiful in so many ways... but I also have a lot of respect for large bodies of water and the stuff that lives in them.

7. Insects in my cereal (it use to happen when I was a child, cockroaches and their eggs in the Rice Krispies)
8. Bats - love hate relationship. I recognize them as wonderful animals, but after having one crawl around between my blankets one night.... shudder.


Your childhood sounds about as fun as mine. I had a similar experience with roaches--but a rat in the bathtub instead of a bat in my blankets. :eew:

1. Fascinating as parasites are, myiasis is one of my worst nightmares, especially ophthalmomyiasis and this:

(Botfly maggot in a human brain)
2. Sharp or pointy things near my eyes
3. Depths (I don't like being in deep holes or canyons, and the idea of the Mariana Trench is terrifying)
4. Spider babies (a spider... but with the mind of a baby)

Great song but the video creeps me out. I don't find it scary or anything but it just creeps me out for some reason :?

2: Camera's underwater searching through old ships. I find that extremely creepy to watch.
3: Spiders, specifically the bigger/thicker ones and more specifically.. it's when they're in a small space and quickly move out of it and back in it. Even just typing that has got me feeling really creeped out.
4: Stained glass windows. I just can't look at them directly, it feels like there's something really unknown about them.

Actually, the second one I have no opinion on. My mom, who's a teacher, has seen young girls at the school she works at dress like prostitutes. That gives her the creeps, not me.

Once I felt a woodlouse crawling around in my undies while I was in bed, seems like he was looking for a treasure back then, or let me say, already found it.

Cherubs - Babies/toddlers shouldn't have wings and SHOULD NOT cavort around mythological scenes.
Maggots - eeeew
Corset piercings - it's when people get a series of rings inserted into their back (or neck, or arm) and lace them up. My back and my neck are so sensitive I shudder just thinking about it. I can see it causing an endorphin rush in the right mindset, but once the piercings done, I can see the irritation/unpleasant sensation taking over. I know some people find it very sexy but I just can't stop thinking of that delicate skin being tugged and often they look kind of sore as well, and not sore in a sexy way - sore in a 'just been pierced, could get infected way.' Not for me.
Watching people shoot drugs: I get an adrenalin rush just looking at pictures of heroin addicts shooting up. I also get a kick just from reading about people shooting up. I find it creepy but I think I have some kind of fetish for it (I'm NOT indulging it.) :(
