Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What was the “dumbest” thing you were scared of as a kid?

Probably quicksand.

I vaguely remember watching a lot of shows in the 90s that had a quicksand scene and it seemed really terrifying.

Took me growing up a little to realize that quicksand isn’t something I should expect to encounter on a daily basis.

My first exposure to quicksand giving me the heebie-jeebies was that Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories episode wherein their kid died and got reunited with his now dead wife. I guess it’s intended to be touching/bittersweet, pero it really made me fear quicksands.

I wasn’t afraid of the dark, nor was I afraid of aswangs, manananggal, etc.

No, my young dumbass was afraid of this (first 5 seconds pa lang tangina I was scared shitless (literally would cry sa first 5 seconds pa lang ng music). Never stayed to finish the intro, never even waited to find out what the hell this game was… until like I was 16 (ish).

I was really furious to find out SEVERAL YEARS LATER that this was not even remotely close to a horror game, but a fucking Mahjong game (Dragon’s Eye Plus Shanghai 3). Really glad that no one really remembered from my circle of friends, or else they would have NEVER, ever let me live this shit down LMAO.

This was my #KidsAreFuckingStupid moment.

My cousin was afraid of those Chinese ornamental fortune cats that wave it’s paw up and down. 😂

As for me, I get creeps from those knee height pale dress up dolls.

Takot ako sa pulis nung bata ako. Now, I think they are just one if the dumbest, kaya nakakatakot pa din, in a way.

Camera flash. You can take photos of me just fine without flash (or if we’re outside and the flash isn’t as noticeable), but as soon as it’s indoors and you need flash, I’ll be out.

Evening local TV used to scare me. Unsettling commercials (Karne Ka Lang sa Hazing, Pray the Rosary bumper), gory news reports/true crime shows (Calvento Files), and horror anthologies (Tales from the Darkside, Regal Shocker).

Wait this dude still acts? Never thought he was a good actor from the little I saw him.

Loved him in Mr. Robot. But for some reason he won an award for Bohemian Rhapsody and keeps getting projects with the same stilted one-dimensional acting. And yes, he does the same thing in Oppenheimer. First scene niya pa lang he does the face.

Bradley Cooper got robbed bigtime by Rami Malek back then btw. Cooper took piano, guitar, and voice lessons for more than a year to make his own character, while Rami Malek lip synced to impersonate a vocalist that everyone already knew.
