The Destruction of the human body,
No, not like mutilation, more like mutations, like The Thing. The body horror genre is the scariest kind of horror to me.
Try to read mangas by Junji Ito, especially Uzumaki and the short story The Enigma of Amigara Fault (can be read here: http://brasscockroac...Amigara-0.html)
Something about the impossible way that everything curves and acts, it is so horribly disturbing to imagine your arm beginning prolong and turn into a spiral (something Uzumaki deals alot with. Oooh those horrible spirals!)

Yep, that's about right.
Now what are my fears, hm...
- Self-diagnosed arachnophobia. I especially hate those spiders with long, super-thin legs where the proportions with the rest of the body are waaay off.
- Mild, self-diagnosed pyrophobia. I'm just afraid of uncontrolled fire and the idea of having it around me. This probably started when I was a kid.
I heard a story about some guy whose entire flat burned down because the broken cables of his constantly plugged-in SNES eventually caused a fire.
- Being in huge, empty halls with high ceilings makes me feel uneasy. This is probably related to a
certain nightmare I had when I was still very young. It literally plagued me every other night for weeks.
- Sometimes, I'm extremely - and unnecessarily - afraid of failing at certain tasks.
This was especially true when I was going through my final exams at school.
- Aliens. This must be sounding utterly stupid from someone who adores The War Of The Worlds but whenever I watch these fuzzy, badly lit clips of alleged UFO/alien sightings on YouTube (or alternatively the movie 'Signs'), I have to spend the next few hours doing cheerful things in broad daylight or else I'll be getting nightmares.
