Hmmm, yea, considering your strong dislikes you might want to hold off on Exocist for a while more. If your a fan of spiders I suggest Arachnophobia. There's another old school quasi horror flick. Complete balohny scientifically, but fun.
Anyway, It was a terrifiying concept, especially for the reasons you mention. I can totally understand why people are still afraid of it. I was lucky and only saw it when I was much older than when it first came out so it didn't have that affect on me.

He's not a villain, but E.T. scared scares the s.hit out of me!
Also, that movie Little Nemo? Anyone recall? That black blobby stuff that kills the king or whatever. I couldn't sleep and when I ran to my parents room I held onto my mom cos I thought it was going to take her away like it did to the king.
Speaking of blobs- Fern Gully Blob?
My mom also said she had eyes in the back of her head so I wouldn't sleep next to her, then she put sunglasses on the back of her head once when I got brave enough to think otherwise. Did my parents ever want me around, lol?

All from my youth...The 1950’s movie the Blob still scares me to no end, the pods from Invasion of the body snatchers, Pennywise from IT, The Mummy, and do not ask me why but as a kid the gas cloud from the star trek series that drained the blood from your body.

Ohh, killerbebe did remind me of one villain that scared me quite a bit (only because he proved to be an evil impersonator of God)... the giant head at the center of the universe.

I can understand why ET would scare you, he's a bald, wierd looking little mutant who screams bloody murder several times in the movie. Tim Curry I believe was the voice of the blob in Fern Gully, my wife loves that movie, I could me mistaken though.

Complete balohny scientifically, but fun. Spiders aren't scary. They're adorable! Who would be afraid of a charming beautiful, comforting spider??? AAMOF, I think a great way to achieve calmness and serenity in times of great stress is simply to find a spider and look at it. The one thing about It! that disappointed was Pennywise's turning out to be a giant wolf spider(!!!). First, wolf spiders are among the most adorable spiders and second, I wanted the clown[/b] to suffer, not a spider! The clown committed all those murders and terrified the "losers," and the clown should have been the one to pay for it! Dude . . . I was 33[/b] when that movie came out, and it still terrified me. I hope you'll see now just how scarable I am.

I just have to say that spiders are the spawn of Lucifer himself. I am a 22 year old male that will walk across a room to avoid going near one. Which actually reminds me, if I lived in the Forgotten Realms setting of D&D, I couldn't visit Menzobarranzan because of all those Lloth worshipers.

Which actually reminds me, if I lived in the Forgotten Realms setting of D&D, I couldn't visit Menzobarranzan because of all those Lloth worshipers. I am truly sorry for you. I understand that some people have a phobia of spiders (like some people do of cats), but that phobia is costing you a geat deal of pleasure in one of G-d's greatest creations. Plus there's the fact that we're all surrounded by spiders all the time (a scientific study once concluded that a square inch of earth holds approximately a blue million spiders!!![/b]). Where do you go to avoid them? We used to have a lot of house spiders ( Achaearanea tepidariorum), and their egg sacs were a common site. Now for some reason they've been replaced by those long legged cellar spiders--you know, the ones that look like "granddaddies" but ain't? The females of those species carry their egg sacs in their mouths, btw. But oh well. I suppose your misfortune in one matter is made up for by extra giftedness somewhere else. It's a strange coincidence that L. Frank Baum, Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis all had a strong dislike of spiders. Maybe that's a requirement for a fantasy writer? That may also explain your predilection for D&D. My sincerest condolences to you on your affliction, but your writing would probably make me jealous. So in other words "Nyah!"

Fear of spiders = good writer... Hmm, I could get used to that.
The strange thing about my dislike of spiders, is I have no problems with other "creepy crawlies". Ants are the ultimate "hive mind" workers, roaches are the ultimate survivors, etc... and I love snakes. I used to go catch rattlesnakes when I was little (scared the crap out of my folks, but I did anyways). There's just something not natural about 8 legs, 8 eyes, and pulling silk out of your... posterior.
And I know the numbers and all the facts on spiders, my brain tells me there is no reason to be afraid of them. I know I'm a few thousand times bigger than them, but that doesn't seem to register when I see one.

I remember being afraid of the Joker in 1989's "Batman." I also seem to remember a guy with no face in 1990's "Dick Tracy" that totally freaked me out. Hey, I was born in 1985! I was really little!

Jack Nicoleson's Joker was excellent and totally understandable why he'd scare you. Funny you should mention Dick Tracy, I was thinkning about that movie today, loved it as a kid. I want to say that villian, who was actually madonna's character in disguise, was simply called faceless.

The Borg from Star Trek scared the piss out of me when I was ten. They were an unstoppable force bent on forcefully transforming all of humanity into cybernetic hybrids devoid of individuality and personal thought. All weapons used against them that were effective once almost instantly became useless the next go around because of their adaptability.
Darkseid in Superman: The Animated Series scared me immensely. A despotic leader of a burning planet full of super powered evildoers that worship him as a God, a planet with highly advanced weapons and torture technology that was the seat of a vast inter-galactic empire, who wouldn't fear that? Oh, and he had two sons, one that hated him and fought on the side of good, and one that would do anything for his approval only to wind up killed by Darkseid on one occasion. He had the physical power to best Superman in one on one combat and he KILLED A MAN ON CAMERA AND SMILED WHILE DOING IT.
Chuckie. Cause murderous toys are just wrong.
Darth Vader and Darth Sidious were two others that played with my head. Vader cut off his own son's hand and I saw that when I was like eight years old. Sidious just looked creepy and pulled the strings... strings that had a giant Planet Killer on the end of them! And Vader had a pimp walk, now that's just intimidating.

Dinosaurs, aliens, and killers always scared me. Though, for sheer staying power I have only one word: Yuri. Tell me that's not the scariest guy you've ever seen. Even to this day that guy sends shivers down my spine every time I play Red Alert 2. He just freaks ya out on so many levels! . . . Udo Keir did I good job though, I have to give him that. Oh, and the ants from the latest Indy flick.

Nya I never was afraid of villians. In fact, as I was about six I wished the Joker, Two Face and The Riddler will ris eme up ^^ lol. I always loved the bad guys/girls. But whar really scared the hell out a me, was some stupid little grey in grey guy. From a TV Show here in germany called "Sendung mit der Maus" it's a show that teach children a lot of stuff. And between the wisdom episodes there were short animated cartoons. And in it a few times was that little men. It was not evil. Actually it does nothing at all (even don't speak, just let out some noises) but I was really really scared of it. ^^; Creepy child I was lol.
