This seems more challenging than the last few contest. One must figure out what they are exactly afraid of.

Gerephobia? (Fear of Richard Gere) I am not shitting you.

Nightmare: Haha, that's funny but you have to pick a phobia from the list. As well, it doesn't have to be your own phobia.

concannon (May 2, 2006)
Too bad they don't have one for what makes me spaz out. Fear of ...okay, I don't know how to describe it. But when I'm alone, I always feel like someone's watching me and it makes me panic. But usually when I'm alone and it's dark. So a combination of fear of darkness and fear of being alone?

They don't have fear of clowns either.

marcello (May 2, 2006)

Visceral, there may not be a listing for it in the phobias, (there should be, they should take out some of the ridiculous ones and make a name for that one) but there's definitely a song about it:
(I have the same feeling sometimes in the dark)

marcello (May 2, 2006)
Did you actually type that all up yourself?
  icon
marcello (May 2, 2006)
ok, so why not just linking to the lyrics rather than copying/pasting the whole thing?
  icon
DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited May 2, 2006)

  icon
concannon (May 3, 2006)
Yep, that song certainly hits it about right. I'll have to actually listen to it sometime, thanks Cindy. :]

Congrats, Patience. I missed that pic, seems like the only one that used an abstract element to aid a fear of something non-materialistic.
