We all have irrational fears, not to mention rational ones. Me? I don’t do well with snakes, but they pretty much fall into the rational variety. Anything that can sneak up on you and deliver a lethal bite is worthy of my terror.
Of the irrational sort, I am afraid of clowns. In a big way. I’m a classic Bozo-phobe. I can even trace it back to an incident when I was about two years old and was taken to see a movie in a theater for the very first time. It was a matinee, back in the day when parents would drop kids off for the afternoon, unsupervised. Basically, it was anarchy. In between the Huey, Dewey and Louie cartoon and The Shaggy Dog, a special live appearance was made by Clarabell the clown. For those who don’t know, Clarabell was Howdy Doody’s sidekick. He didn’t speak (a particularly strange affectation embraced by some clowns) and only communicated through the honking of various horns. So this creep comes charging down the aisle, the kids go ballistic, and my brain exploded.
So it may be an irrational fear, but at least I have an excuse.
What irrational fears do you have?

I SEE THE CHEESE!!!!!!!!! says:
THIS IS ALL I’M GOING TO SAY: I HAVE A LOT OF FEARS SO EVEN THOUGH I WISH I COULD GO ON SOME GRAND ADVENTURE- i should probably stop reading fantasy after all the MR come out- I WOULD BE TOO SCARED PROBABLY WHEN THE TIME CAME FOR ME TO MAKE THE CHOICE OF WHETHER I WANTED TO GO OR NOT- if i was given the choice- SO I WOULD MOST LIKELY CHICKEN OUT!!!!!!!
cats says:
same.it seems so easy when you are reading the book or waching the show, but under the pressure it’s much harder then it looks.
spinney says:
My three WORST fears in the world (though not that irrational in my opinion)
#1: Clowns (always hated them, but it got a LOT worse when I read the quillan games)
#2: Paper cuts. (no explanation needed here)
#3: Tall building (They scare me idk why, they just do)
spinney says:
Oh yeah I almost forgot,
I’m also afraid of picking up things that are half buried.
One day my class was picking up garbage for earth day and i found a half buried plastic bag. I picked it up and suddenly there were red ants EVERYWHERE! there had to be at least a million, no over exaggeration
RayneStryke says:
lol, i never liked clowns either. they are just creepy.And i agree with Spinny, Quillan Games just made it worse, but i guess in some way, a little more barable. I don’t Know. . .
I also hate zombies.Like seriously! How do you kill them?! there already dead. . . Blah.
And My worse fear,
Zombie Clowns!(like in ZombieLand >.>)
If there zombies, ugh, and then they are also Clowns, just,, ugh, ya’know?
I SEE THE CHEESE!!!!!!!!! says:
i have a new fear. im not sure if it’s irrational or not, but it’s definetly now a big one. here it is: my sister recording me while im practicing. she has a new phone and it can record stuff which she couldn’t do on her old phone and now she has threatned to record me and i don’t know why im scared about her doing it i just am.
that one face says:
I’m scared of th… on second thought here is what id be thinking if a was in a position where I’m scared ( not telling what the scenario is ha ha ) : HELP ITS DARK I CANT SEE ANYTHING… AND I CAN HEAR LAUGHING AHHH!.

@ RayneStryke
1st i havent been on in a while and i just read every comment. wow you guy misspell a lot of words. and to kill a fast zombie, zombies who can run and catch you, you shoot it any where you would shoot a human to kill it. and to kill a slow zombie, zombies who shuffle along and trudge slowly after you, you have to shoot it in the head.
Edward Worton N.J. says:
im writing a horror film with my friend and i need ideas for character names. and scary things that could happen.
Mikayla says:
is it weird im not afraid of zombies?
im 12 and a girl…yet i sat through 4 hours of Resident Evil video games in the middle of the night with my sister and her friend.
i was amused.

N. says:
I’m also clausterphobic. I don’t know if that would be an irrational fear but when I’m in tight spaces I hyperventilate, even when I was walking down a hall on the lat day of school where little kids (K-5) give sixth grades high fives I had big eyes and light headed from breathing so much.
Lead Traveler says:
@N.
there are 6th graders in your elementary school? that’s kind of weird. what state are you in?!! and what grade are you in? what were the other kids giving 6th graders hive-fives for?
Lead Traveler says:
meant hi-fives. sorry bout that.
N. says:
I’m in seventh grade right now. And I live in Montana. Schools suck here. The little kids were giving us high- 5s because it was the last year there for us and the principal is stupid.
N. says:
@ Lead Traveler
I know having Sixth graders is weird in elementary school, I think it’s something to do with my school district. Some kids I know who are still the same age are in middle school already. Oh yeah, Montana is lame, no one should visit it.
Lead Traveler says:
hey. if you think Montana’s lame come to Idaho. and in our capital sixth graders are in elementary but not 7th graders. and in 5th grade i had the worse principal ever and the worse school ever and i’m glad our elementary schools end at 5th grade. i glad i only had to spend one year there or i would’ve died. i can’t see how my cousin can stand that school.
N. says:
I’ve had to stand the worst principal since 4th grade. She freaked out when I said a ” Bad” word. While another kid sitting next to me in the principals office cusses every other sentence. I’ve only cussed like twice in my life! Personally, I like Montana, but it’s Billings I hate. Too populated for me. Even though the population is a little bit over 100,000. Idaho would’nt be that bad.
Lead Traveler says:
if you think 100,000 is bad, don’t come here to Boise and defenitly don’t go to Las Angeles or New York. or Las Vegas
Lead Traveler says:
personally, i think of myself as the city-girl who wishes to be a country girl and have a big adventure like one she reads in books all the time. on the subject of books. what i hate most is that an author of a book i just read made the main character a 6 year old boy in one of the adventures that couldn’t read, but yet understood huge words like dicombobulate. i don’t even know how to spell that word, though i do know what it means. i just hate it when authors make a really young kid the main character and they know big words but yet don’t know how to do something else, like in this case. to me the main character(s) have to be over 10 years old. 9 is the lowest i’ll tolerate.
Lead Traveler says:
i just felt like saying that. sorry everyone.
N. says:
Discombobulate is my FAVORITE word! And it means to confuse.
Lead Traveler says:
i know that.
Lead Traveler says:
do you know what catatonic means? and don’t look it up.
N. says:
Yeah, it means you’re not feeling very good and in shcock kind of.
N. says:
Shock
Lead Traveler says:
my sister told me it is when you are in shock and that it’s slightly related to that one disease where you hear and see dead people. so to sum it all up (and i didn’t look this up)- a condition related to that one disease mentioned eariler in this post combined with shock.
Holly says:
that sucks that you have 6th grade in elementary school. mine just goes to 5th. but i had to have the worst principal ever for 6 years!!!
but i’m going into 7th grade now too. i live in ohio and if you ever think about going here, don’t! it is boring!
N. says:
No, that’s kind of Skitsofrenia. I think. That’s where you hear and see stuff that’s not there. It sounds really creepy. Like you see and hear a giant snake that’s not there.
Holly says:
ok i would really hate if i had that. i would be freaking out a lot
N. says:
Yeah, that’s how most handel it. They think somethings wrong and start freaking out. Sometimes they’re told stuff they should do from the voices and the thing you hear you shouldn’t do. You see stuff that is nonsense but believe it is true.
Lead Traveler says:
yeah i meant that catatonic is related to that disease. i just looked at dictionary.com.
Holly says:
wow. i’m just glad i don’t have it!
N. says:
Most people are.
Holly says:
yeah really. why would u want it.
Lead Traveler says:
no one does. it just happens to people.
N. says:
Yep. I was watching an Oprah show and like an 8 year old girl had one of the worst cases of it.
Holly says:
@ Lead Traveler.
i know, i was just saying like why would u be fine with having it. that’s what i meant 🙂
DADO Creator says:
@N.
Skitsofrenia is where someone has mutiple personallities and they are more like completly different people that are usually totally unaware of each other. what you guys are talking about sounds more like hystaria or insanity.
N. says:
No. that’s bipolar.
N. says:
My dad’s a physcologist so I know this stuff.
Holly says:
yeah i’m gonna leave those decisions of which is which for you guys. i’m just going to listen. cuz i don’t know lots about those stuff
Lead Traveler says:
i know a way to solve this!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S A RANDOM DIESEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there.
@Holly
nobody would be fine having it.
Lead Traveler says:
you know what i just noticed? nobody ever goes on the last post. the trailer thing. everyone just stops here. it’s a bit annoying really. i’m going over there RIGHT NOW and posting a question. tomorrow one of you had better respond or i will find out where you live and hammer it out on you!!!!!!!
