Spirit Halloween Fear

[wretchedhiddenthing]

i want to hear about the things that people fear

but not like realest deepest most traumatizing fears because that's not funny, I wanna hear about what I've been calling "Spirit Halloween Fears."  what i mean by that is its like, its a thing you find legitimately disconcerting or scary but you know there's not really any chance of it spooking or harming you irl, yet you find it scary any ways.

share your spirit Halloween fears here

i guess what im afraid of is a giant space station crashing onto earth like it happened a few times in my dreams. i dont know what the significance is or if its forbearance of some sort of deja vu premonition but it do sometimes wake me up in hives

Ill obviously share my own since im asking. Im afraid of Grimace from Macdonalds

hes kind of topical rn which is why i wanted to make this thread.
I find his shape and his sort of lack of affectation and his off color eyes like hes stoned or something really off-putting. i realize that grimace has many of the characteristics of a stoner but im not afraid of stoners just grimace

the root of it goes back to when i was small, because for some reason i had several very vivid reoccurring dreams about grimace killing me and then canibalizing my body.
im not like paralyzed with dread or anything when i see grimace but i still dont like him

EDIT: also i actually really dont like mascot costumes like you'd see at a ball game or at some restaurants. Yes i am aware of the irony.

thats real, i sometimes get mice or birds or a Really Large Wolf Spider inside of my house when i leave a door open and it makes me anxious getting rid of them. Im mainly afraid because i don't wanna accidentally crush them with my hands or have them scurry on me even though i know they're no threat.

EDIT: Also a frog one time a frog was in my house and it kept wriggling out of my hands and hopping away, that wasn't fun

I used to be really afraid of mushrooms because there was one growing in my bathroom

[girlmeat5557]

crawling through vents like in a video game or die hard. i know im never gonna do it but whenever i think about it it gives me a shiver

Airplanes actually! Growing up I believed everytime an airplane passed by overhead it was gonna drop a bomb and we'd be forced in2 the apocalypse survival. I would genuinely flinch from the sound while looking around.
I can't survive the fallout...I have thought long and hard and the answer is I have to simply find the coolest pose to decompose in...

Admittedly, not a great mascot design. A lot of them tend 2 fall in2 uncanny valley actually now that you got me thinking about it. The unmoving faces probably. Except for Gritty, actually he's the only one who doesn't look like he's supposed to be endearing so it loops back around

Sounds like a B horror movie plot.
I threaten you wretched by shaking a Grimace shake in your face and calling U a wimp and by the end you're the only one 2 escape the McDonald's play place because U didn't eat his birthday food.
