I think as children we tend to overthink things because our brains are designed to learn and internalize new information. When we're introduced to something unsettling or uncomfortable we keep thinking about it, probably more than we should, because that's how we think of all new information.
Agreee, however I think that, on top of discerning levels of "unsettling", it's probably also going past a certain amount of information that a kid's mind can take. If there's too much happening at once yet there's next to no context given as to why it's happening, it hits a nerve and it makes us uncomfortable while watching.
@@giboi03 Oh totally. I think a lot of the things we found unintentionally creepy as children were just too unusual or unexpected for our minds to comprehend. Kids take comfort in things staying the same; when something completely unexpected comes along it removes that sense of comfort.
As a child I had a very vivid, anxiety-ridden imagination and had a lot of nightmares. It’s human nature to fear what you don’t understand, so I think that kind of explains why so many things in the world, even the smallest things, can easily become terrifying.
It's partially also a survival mechanism, when we're small and something is weird and we can't explain it we'll usually be scared until an adult comes along and explains it to us and reassures us that it's okay, or we gauge how frightened we should be (or just how we should feel about it in general) based on how the adult reacts, so if we watch a movie where something creepy happens and our parent fast forwards it? That is something bad that we aren't supposed to know, its unsettling because we know it exists and that its bad but not why.
The worst shit for me is things with silence before an incoming noise. I'm not talking about jumpscares. I'm talking about the emergency alert system, weather alerts, fbi anti piracy screens. I hate the incoming dread, the feeling of being alone.
@@luiscordova4582 Yeah, but again it’s different instead of jumpscares. The noise isn’t sudden, and yet you know damn well it’s going to happen and you’ve got to contemplate that.
This is how my night terrors are. Its like "oh haha I'm just flying through the sky nice" and suddenly it goes quiet and I just KNOW its about to start and my mind immediately creates the first thing that'll make me scream myself awake.
The mental image of child Wendigoon covering his eyes while his father screams in excitement “THE SHARK TURNED THE OVEN ON” is just way too funny to me
I'm surprised nobody ever mentions "Monsters Inside Me" on Animal Planet. It was all about these different insects and parasites and what they did to someone's body anatomically which was pure nightmare fuel
omfg that traumatused me i remember an episode of someone having maggots inside their knees or something and another one of a women with a bug in her eye
@@tata-my6jw I remember the one about the lady with the bug in her eyes, for years afterwards I freaked out anytime a bug flew into my face because i thought it would eat my eyes lol
I’m watching this video 2 years later and hearing him be so appreciative of his 10 thousand subs while now having 3.28 million is crazy. I love a good come up
i used to be terrified of tv static, the automated voice on landlines that was all like “the person you are trying to call is unavailable”, and the red screen with blue text that showed up after my favourite childhood show had ended and the channel was no longer available for the rest of the evening after 7 pm
god, yeah, ive always been scared of jarring sounds, especially robotic ones, like the pause where the audio repeats itself during a computer bluescreen or a cd track stopping or the emergency broadcast
Ugh, tv static scared me so much as kid, it would always show up in my nightmares and it would be really loud with no way of turning it off. The worst 😩
This always happened to me at during sleep overs at my grandparents house . They would go to sleep at like 9pm and put a movie on for me to fall asleep. The vibe that the room had when the ending screen came on was so scary for me for some reason.
If you like psychology, start getting into behavioral psychology. It's insane how little anything can alternate how the brain develops. Such as yelling at your child can cause mutism and stuttering or simply not being there enough can damage how relationships develop.
trauma in the context of tv/movies/video games scaring you is not the same context of being traumatized by abuse/horrific accident. ppl who woke up to creepy adult swim bumpers aren’t traumatized like abuse victims are
@@heehoohehehe1267 if it affects you daily and you can’t do normal things that others can do and it harms your quality of life, it is trauma not just a scare.
@@cyruss6536I swear I did too and their was like a train track going around my house were diesel 10 was just destroying my house and I was hiding in a bush
I paused the vid immediately to see if anyone else reacted to that LOL I was genuinely taken aback when he said 10k when this video was only 3 years ago
the thing that scared me was the fucking spongebob ending credits. something about the odd distorted guitar music, the plain visuals, and the empty feeling
Yes omg, I watched spongebob with my sister once in a dark room And she for some reason thought it would be funny to lock me in the room So I was in a pitch black locked room with spongebob playing in the back It was weirdly terrifying
Some episodes of the Twilight Zone really kept me up at night when I was a kid. Most notably "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," with the weird gremlin thing walking around on the wing of the plane as a passenger watches it out the window.
I have a theory about the uncanny valley. I don't think we necessarily encountered something in our past that was trying to intentionally look human, but there were two threats to prehistoric humans that may have caused this response: A.) Neanderthals looked a bit like people but weren't quite there. They posed potential competition to prehistoric humans. B.) Corpses, because not only could corpses carry disease and attract predators, but they also may represent an area where danger was present. Just some food for thought.
I dont think it was Neanderthals because they were direct competion and they were basically larger with bigger limbs we all have a distinct fear of things that look so much like humans but have a slight "error" like no pores or just certain distinct slight differences. Corpses are more likely but still a reach since we dont get he uncanny valley feeling when seeing a corpse what we get is just general fear.
@@theinquisitor2682 It’s proven that humans have mated with Neanderthals though, so it’s not like they were just competition and some scary human like creature, they were competition, but not in all cases where they only considered that.
I think that’s an interesting concept, but the way I see it, I think it makes more sense that the uncanny valley is just creepy because it’s a bit off. It’s so close to being human, but there’s something wrong with the face.
like someone perfectly described above, i always thought the uncanny valley results from not exactly a biological response (though your comment is definitely interesting), but a fear of seeing something that nearly resembles us. Part of your brain sees it looks human yet you're fully aware that they're not, and i think it's that confusion that really messes with us. We fear over how "human" it seems, and that makes us fear over what it's capable of. After all, if something can look like us, does that mean it's capable of feeling emotions and being equally volatile? And if so, how would we be able to know? It isn't human after all, so it could very well hold malicious intent, yet we wouldn't be able to properly know, since it isn't fully human. I think it's that lack of/and equally enough knowledge that causes the valley--but idk, that's just how i see it.
My mom used to have one of the classic alarm tones and it always bothered me because the first thing youd hear is "ring ding ding... Good morning!" And it scared the shit outta me
That happened to me once. My mom used to have a ringtone, that it wasn't that scary, but one day someone called on her phone and i was alone on the livingroom, sitting on the couch. For some reason i though something/someone was going to pull my feet if i stepped out of it, so i stayed quiet and didn't got out to bring the phone to her
@@anon599 i literally was about to mention monsters inside me lol, it’s part of what sparked my interest in parasitology and mind altering diseases, and now i’m studying to become an animal disease biologist so i partially have it to thank for my (hopefully) future career 🤙
same here, the episodes of i shouldn’t be alive that stuck with me the most are the guy hallucinating from brain swelling after getting stuck on mt everest. also the one where the guy gets stuck in the amazon and has to eat his dog....... also monsters inside me and 1000 ways to die. my parents and i used to watch all those shows together.
I’ve been subbed for awhile but I binged the conspiracy iceberg over the past two days and it was actually super emotional watching his rise through that!
seriously its insane!!! i started on his first episode of the conspiracy theory ice burg...he's been my favorite youtuber since. i like to watch youtube for entertainment often and his content topics are the best. I wish he had more content cause iv'e watched every upload, but unfortunately you cant rush perfection...
The episode of spongebob where he couldn't write the essay used to scare me. Partly because it was so stressful and partly because of the weird hallucincations spongebob has for some reason
@@thenekoromancer7024 "The Slab," was NOT scary. I found it funny. The REAL scary episode was the episode called, "Naughty." *Shivers.* That episode creeped me the fuck out.
as a child i was, and still is, afraid of tv static, amber alerts, and/or the random alarms for certain events (if that makes sense, like on the tv and phone) The second i hear it bottled up and turn into a completely different person. it terrifies me for some reason, don’t know why.
testing alerts on the tv/radio are by far one of the worst sounds i have ever heard, whenever i hear them i feel my chest tighten and my stomach drop, it’s terrible
As children we are conditioned to feel safe with our parents. Whenever we are sad or hurt they are there to comfort us with reassuring words. So when something happens that makes them afraid it is terrifying to us when we are young. Perhaps there was a time when you were young when there was a series of weather alerts that worried your parents and that memory is being accessed when you hear similar sounds.
@@haleigh6089 I'm so glad I'm not the only one. The emergency test alarm noise and voice scare the shit out of me still and I'm 27. Everytime I hear it my body goes into fight or flight mode
The diesel character was the villain from Thomas and the Magic Railroad, his name was Diesel 10. At one point he does threaten to drop Alec Baldwin off a bridge to his death during an interrogation. Basically Diesel wanted to kill train Jesus so all the steam engines would die and the island would fall apart.
OH MY GOD, SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS. There's a running joke in my family that all my problems stim from my dad showing me that video when I was like four. I was inconsolable for WEEKS. Fond memories lol
Oh my god. That thing with the mouse and the weasel! I had been looking for that for so long. It was on a Curious George DVD, I think and it scared me so much when I was a kid
I remember my first SCP experience was when I was about 12. I was a very naive child and I actually thought it was all real. Basically I was watching creepypasta videos and I came across "SCP#096 'The Shy Guy'" and the guy narrating was saying how if you look at it's face by any means it will become agitated to the point of hunting you down and killing you, then they flashed a picture of it's face for like .5 seconds. I was so scared that I was going to die for like the next week, then I realized it was all fake and I was so mad at the guy who made that video
When my family went to pick up our first dog from the breeder, the breeder's husband had a movie on the TV. I can't remember what it was, but I remember turning to look at it and seeing someone get their tongue cut out. I was only 5/6 years old and was terrified for weeks thinking my tongue was going to randomly get cut out.
There was an episode of The Twilight Zone that _scared the hell out of me_ as a kid. I think it was called "The Midnight Sun" (or something similar) and it was about this woman hunkering down in her apartment with a couple other people while the Earth's orbit around the sun slowly decayed, bringing it in closer. There was no special effects. In fact, the only hint as to what this looked like was the paintings this woman made, which depicted a surreal, sun-baked landscape with a giant, angry looking sun looming above. A bunch of interpersonal drama happens and, towards the end, there's just this dreadful piano music going while shots of the thermometer creeping higher and higher and shown and all the woman's paintings start melting. The woman then screams and - thankfully - wakes up, only for the events of the dream to be revealed to be a fever dream she was having. However, it's ALSO revealed that the Earth was experiencing the exact opposite problem - it was moving away from the sun. The look of relief on this woman's face as she rejoiced in the cold while everyone else around her looked at her like she was unhinged haunted me for years after that.
I remember that episode, I was scared because of it too (one of the other things that really got me was the way there was a water/milk shortage, and how even in that heat nobody was able to drink anything).
Its the most heartwarming feeling in the world to see how happy Wendigoon was on hitting 10k or even lower marks and now I glampse at the current number at 2,58M... Protect this man, at all costs.
Mentioning that he had 10k subs at the time and being so thankful to his subs makes me smile considering how far he’s come since. At the time I’m writing this he’s got around 3.4 million subs. I wish you all the best Wendigoon, your content rocks!!
That one episode of victorious where jade fucks up the prom with the creepy videos. Terrified me for so long. Also those little things on adult swim where it’d just be like some weird sentence before an ad or the beginning of a show. It was the sound in it I think. Seeing those at like 2am alone in the dark knowing damn well I wasn’t allowed to even watch adult swim.
My grandmother used to live in the mountains as a kid next to a group of native Americans in Delta, Alabama and they’d swap stories about giant eagles taking local kids. Im sure that was fun times.
"I'll be back in 20 minutes" reminds me of when I was a kid watching labyrinth for the first time. Older sister paused it right at the start when the goblins are appearing in the house to go to the shop, and like the sadist she is she says "I wish the goblins would come and take you away, right now" before leaving. Man, I was ready to die
When I was a kid, we had a vhs tape with, at the time my favourite movie, "Dinosaur" (2000). The problem is there was also "Tarzan" (1999) on it, and the scene where the baby gugu-gaga Tarzan is being hunted by the jaguar/puma/whatever this giant cat was, absolutely terrified me, and I would always cover my eyes, and i didn't know how to skip it so I would have to play it every time I wanted to watch the "Dinosaur".
I watched _Tarzan_ as a kid and I never remember that part at all from that time due to skipping it that when I rewatched the movie when I got older, it was like there was an added scene. It was kind of weird.
Did you watch that History channel miniseries? That shit also freaked me out. That, Monsters and Mysteries in America, and the Nostradamus miniseries freaked me the fuck out as a 10 year old
@@loganfisher3431 BRO. The Nostradamus series made me so paranoid. It spiked my anxiety so high. The damn “the Mayans, Nostradamus, and scientist predict the world will end” bit really destroyed me
Saaame. I remember on December 20th (?) going on my Wii, onto the browser, and searching up the end of the world theory. I remember the next day, we were in class, and the time hit 12:05, and this one girl was like “Huh, the world was supposed to end 5 minutes ago”
Me too! For me it started when I watched Indian Jones and the kindom of the crystal skull lol Then I remeber sleeping on the couch and my mom playung a documentary of 2012 and the world ending. And how the crystal skulls may hold the key to stoping it. Thats what started me staying up at night thinking who im going to be in 2012 and what I would do if the world ended. And hoped all the skulls would be found lol. I still have nightmares of the world ending tbh mostly nuclear bombs now
For me it was the hash slinging slasher episode of SpongeBob, at the very end. Max Schrek was pretty creepy as Nosferatu to start with, but the sudden transition from cute cartoon to creepy old photo was really jarring for me as a kid.
For me I had absolutely no problem with the transition but what got me was the slasher just standing there on the other side of the road lmao. I almost pissed my pants
Lost Tapes was the absolute best. The one about kids skating and a Thunderbird snatching one of them up scared me. It's the fear that one of your friends is gone, you can hear him calling for help, but he's so far away and you can't help him.
Nicki Minaj’s verse on Bottoms Up when she makes her voice all high literally used to scare the shit out of me to the point where I started crying. It still makes me laugh to this day
I have good news for you: I learned that was actually a close up of a horsefly, and actual close ups of butterflies are kinda cute. They look like the really fuzzy cutesy moths if you’ve seen those 😅
I remember as a kid I would watch horror movies from time to time, and my way to just not be scared as a child was to always think "what would Batman do here?" and that actually worked it's hilarious to think back on
That was my sort of approach most of the time too. Like if some sort of monster was real, then so could me having powers, or my toys being alive and protecting me like my gundams. 😂
I was scared of my basement. I thought ghosts and evil demons lived under there like the exorcist girl. So every time I went downstairs I would give an evil laugh and talk about how I'm planning to take over the world to trick them into thinking I was with them.
Just imaging your parents/guardians hearing you evil laugh every time you go down to the basement and just looking at each other like "what in the world is that child doing?"
@Kyrencin She's literally the reason I wasn't able to sleep in my own room until I was in 6th grade. Every once in a while, she'll pop up in my dreams in my room and stalk me from my closet and then lunge at me and attack. Not fun. ): (The nun from the conjuring will also once in a blue moon enter into my dreams, stalking me in my closest as I'm in my bed.)
The episode of lost tapes where the owlman takes the old lady was such a pivotal moment in my life because I really thought they captured and old lady getting abducted and nobody did anything about it
For me weather alerts and storm warnings really messed me up as a kid. Any kind of siren with a "robotic" voice repeating a message still creeps me out.
I'm the exact same, there was a scene in a show I happened to watch as a kid, it was on the aussie channel abc3 when it first came out, and there was a part where the main characters were running from these goop monsters, which I was fine with, but there was this unholy bomb siren in the background that really fucked with me
@@Ya_boi00 I have a very specific memory of staying at my grandparents due to a hurricane warning. And as I was watching cartoons the TV just went black and a storm warning came on and it scared me really bad. I'm pretty sure that's where it comes from for me.
We had a tornado come within a few miles of our house when I was like 5, and ever since then I've been terrified of tornados and any weather alert noises. My parents were very calm about the whole thing, but I'm still scarred lol
Here's mine! So when I was little, like 7 or so, I watched the 2000-something Amityville Horror, and overall I was unimpressed, but I loved the movie anyway. However, there was one scene that stuck with me for several years, and that was the bathtub scene. Basically when the main character lays back in the tub to relax, a plethora of hands come up to grab at him. Theres a lot of bloody stuff and it's a great scene, but as an 8 year old kid it scared the living hell out of me. My other biggest trauma incident that carried through for many years was the Lost Tapes episode on Vampires. I dont think it was the same one as this video, but I remember that the camera crew was showing a hole in a wall and it was an entrance point for the Vampire to get in. Then there was another scene that was like a night cam over a child sleeping in bed, and the cryptid came out of the closet and took the kid. I dont remember much about it, but I slept with my closet doors closed and on my back with the hall light on for many years after that. As i got older i convinced myself that if a vampire was going to grab me in the night, it already would have. Anyway, those are the biggest things I remember from childhood, aside from the actual abuse going on at home at the time. Thanks for reading!
I can't remember what it was called, but back in kindergarten, the librarian at my school read us a book about a farmer who was starving, so he went to hunt, and he found a creature, but it was too dark for him to see so he just shot at it. He didn't kill it and it ran away, but he managed to shoot its tail off. I remember the tail was really long and it looked like a really bushy fox tail or something, and it was pitch black. After eating it, he goes to bed, but wakes up because he hears scratching and a weird voice from outside his house. It breaks in and it's implied that the farmer was killed because it had its tail again and was singing about it. The illustrations of the creature looked like a void in a vaguely animalistic shape. Why she would read that to us, I have no idea.
@@eilir_adron My girlfriend and I were just talking about this story the other day! I wish I could remember where we read it from, but we both remembered it. It seems like a story that would be found in Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, but I can't be sure.
Naw one thing that scared me about spongebob was the ds game. I was scared of the dirty bubble so much that I threw away the box just to no see his face on my desk
The Goosebumps episode The Werewolf of Fever Swamp really messed with me as a youngling. Just the dark shots of the kids running through the swampy woods while hearing the howling and monstrous sounds while having absolutely no idea what was going on suuuuper got to me
really weird but i use to get so scared when i was alone in a room and in the other room people were laughing. i’d always run out the room. not to see what they were laughing at, but because if i stayed in the room where i was alone, i’d get to scared. weird i know.
i could shake off horror movies fine growing up but that spongebob episode with the hyper realistic butterfly did an absolute number on my psyche that still affects me to this day
Spongebob scared the shit outta me as a kid was the Hash Slinging Slashers last minute, where Nosferatu was flicking the light switch. The image of him standing there was the worst to me. But I loved that episode so I would turn the Channel before the last few seconds every time XD
For whatever reason, I was really creeped out by the talking drop of hot sauce from the episode where Sandy and Spongebob have to out-karate each other. Maybe it just reminded me of the devil or something but I never liked looking at it lol
The episode about tape worms made me so scared and paranoid as a kid omg. No other episode got to me like that but I remember being terrified Id get tape worms.
The thing that scared me the most was the butterfly episode from spongebob. The zoom in of the real life butterfly footage made me run out of the room crying and screaming.
My younger cousins were scared of the flying dutchman. I was never afraid of that. I think Nosferatu fucked with me for a while. That whole episode was scarry as hell
My childhood trauma was falling asleep on the couch only to be abruptly woken up by the George Lopez show intro on Nick at Nite. Another one was watching the end of a VHS, the fun and colorful Veggie Tales being jarringly offset by the cold, liminal space of a dark room, illuminated only by the glow of the black screen of the crt and the only sounds being the whirring of the VCR and the humming from the tape.
yeah that terrified me too, but because this other old channel called "chiller" also played relaxing nature clips followed by a screamer, so i was always scared of quiet peaceful videos.
I remember this one commercial Nickelodeon played, for Rabbids (that weird one with the rabbits), where they had a nature scene and the narrator told us to look closer to find the rabbid, and the camera kept zooming in, and then there was a jumpscare of the rabbid, that shit terrified me
I used to be scared of the thing at the end of robot chicken episodes where it's like the skull. It's called William Street or something like that but a cartoonish skull would pop up and a guy would yell
@@zachh.9065 oh my gosh I remember those videos my older brother would always show it me to get me off the computer when he wanted to have a turn but I remember the videos he would show me was called kff pronounced kayfee and whenever I see clips similar to thst I just get scared
My fear is anything that can fly around, specifically like bugs and birds. I've known people with pet birds, or little parakeets or something, and those guys are chill. I also don't mind crawly bugs like worms, or even spiders. It was something about the noise of the wings, and the seemingly erratic movement of small living things in flight that scared me. and I never knew why. Like I always had this faint memory, like not even the visuals or sounds, just this feeling of being scared by this when I was really little, and not knowing what it was. Then my family went to Disney World. Well we always went there for vacation, but when I was like 19 we went, and we went to the Bug's Life show because my younger brother hadn't seen it. For those that don't know, Disney World had an attraction for Bug's Life called "It's Tough to be a Bug!" The audience gets "shrunk down" to bug size and watches a movie of the life of bugs with the characters from the movie as big animatronics that talk and say cute stuff. I knew that we had watched it before but it had been so long that I couldn't really remember it, plus my brother and I loved Bug's Life. Towards the end of the show, the whole thing gets hijacked by the villain from Bug's Life, Hopper, and he shows how humans are mean to bugs and make pesticides and whatnot to kill them, inciting the bugs to attack the audience... There's flashing lights, there's "pesticides" (fog machine) filling the room, and then the constant, loud buzzing of insect wings that specifically triggers my fight or flight... and it just all comes crashing back to me. Like I wasn't screaming or even shaking, I was frozen with the realization that THIS is what caused my fear. I'm so glad they shut it down.
I could. NOT. watch the puppet compartment scene. We watched Polar Express for like five years in a row at my grandma's house, for Christmas, and I never worked up the courage to watch it without fidgeting around, becoming intensely interested with the arm of the couch for several moments, etc.
I was TERRIFIED of “the foot” from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I didn’t understand that it was irony and the idea of an uncontrollable foot just walking around silently, and maybe in my house, scared the shit out of me.
Things I was scared of as a child: -those “top 10 darkest Disney secrets” videos -my friends would play this weird game called “there’s a knife in your back there’s a needle in your back” that didn’t sit right with me -the SB-129 episode of spongebob where squidward gets stuck in that white void -the zombie bear Mor’du from Brave -the THX logo before movies -this one episode of the twilight zone with a haunted slot machine -the tsunami from deep impact -the shots of gollum when he’s transforming from a hobbit into gollum -there was this radio show and they started telling this story about a woman who was buried alive -this Mickey Mouse creepypasta -there was this British movie based on an old book and in one scene there’s this creepy room and a trapdoor randomly opens and there’s this black hook on the wall and this guy hangs himself -in my favorite video game series, rusty lake, there are these monsters called corrupted souls that sometimes jumpscare you, and combined with sound effects, it’s terrifying, and i used to think that they watched me when I slept -there’s a show called bleak house where a guy spontaneously combusts and the mailman walks in a few hours later and all that’s left of the guy is a pile of ashes, and there’s this horrific shot of his burnt up hand - in the phantom of the opera there’s a scene where the phantom puts a rope around someone’s neck and he falls over the stage and gets hanged, but he starts twitching around as he’s dying
Am I out of the loop about this? What's scary about the THX logo? Is it the one with the flying creature that plugs in the thing to make the cows moo? or am I misremembering.
The image doesn’t scare me anymore, but because it used to freak me out so bad and it’s so deep in my memory, hearing the laughter at the end of the song still kinda gives me a shiver lol
omg the second u said about the ocean I was thinking of the lurker sharks and I was so excited that u brought it up I have so much anxiety about water in video games in general because of that game as well as just being afraid irl
I kinda traumatized my mom from that because when I was little I drew some of the parasites and showed her them and said “you showed me them” and apparently I also called them “friends”
Sorta Related: Parents really need to monitor what their children do online cause I saw some things at 10-12 that I really shouldn’t have that warped me a bit and scared me.
I definitely fucked my self up starting at age 12, I had a girl friend I think three years older than me and showed me apps and I traumatized myself through the span of a few years. Yay.
Good luck with that. Me and my friends all grew up Mormon and we still snuck around it and saw whatever we wanted somehow. This is in the early 2000s as well. Much easier now.
I've heard a theory that the reason we don't like things that are Not Quite Human is because of diseases like rabies. Which makes sense to me. If Ug is usually friendly and brings you meat, it might be evolutionarily advantageous to notice that the person you recognize as Ug is moving weird and doesn't like water for some reason. Noticing that something's not quite right and having your reaction be a real hard 'nope' probably helped keep our ancestors from all getting infected with random bad viruses
I think you're just looking too deep into it it's really not all that complicated we don't like things that don't look like humans because we're humans
I've always thought of it as being a thing for two reasons, 1 is because the original humans weren't like we are now and 2 is that humans literally evolve to fight each other. Makes sense we'd be scared of eachother.
From an evolutionary point or even a pseudo religious sense, it makes sense. If demons, vampires, werwolves are real, or something similar, it would have a lasting impression on those that survived the tales. Most see cannibalism or blood drinking as terrible and deeply disturbing. Many also see wolf/animal men as dangerous. At some point there was something literally like or akin to those tropes that left a deep impression. Snakes and spiders are very real, and most aren’t harmful, but for some reason many people have a innate aversion to them. How real and how far back were these things an issue?
@@cowblob6539 yeah I thought it was when there were other hominids about and a fair few ate homosapciens so we are scared of them plus they look similair but not quiet the same. hence myths like goblins, ogres, trolls ect but i could be wrong.
Uncle Elephant is what traumatized me as a child. Mouse Soup is still one of my favorites to this day I'm not sure what draws me to it but it's such a unique piece of art, with silly stories, sure. But good morals woven into it. It stuck with me, and I'll always remember it.
Yo Spirited Away when the parents turned into pigs made me run up the stairs. Imagine you're 10 and your parents arent just gone but turn into the monsters youre trying to run away from. Terrifying.
I watched that movie at around that age and literally had to be taken out of the theater and brought home. The way the dad was being stubborn about it and wouldnt listen to chihiro was also just way too close to our family dynamic it really messed me up.
And yet that episode considered as the most realistic and nihilism spongebob's video ever seen. Yeah no wonder some people get scared or traumatized tho.
You nailed that description of being freaked out by space/infinite expanses. I've had such a deep fear of that stuff since I was a kid and not many people get it!
Hell yeah. Even since I was like 12, it always made me feel uncomfortable how insignificant we really are in the grand scope of the universe. One solar flare can change everything.

I used to watch Mouse Soup as a kid on long car trips at night, and I think the night part was what made the video a lot creepier because watching it now as an almost 20 year old, the songs in the story are absolute bangers to listen too

I really hate that I grew up during the time jumpscares were hip on the internet, shit makes me paranoid of any suspicious link and pause in the video now
When I was a kid I adopted a habit of looking under my pillow before I slept because my grandma told me once that it helps make sure there are no monsters, and since I sleep with my arm beneath the pillow, if there was a monster I would be grabbed easier. One day I looked under the pillow and a massive wolf spider was chilling there. I haven't stopped looking beneath pillows before sleep since
I just triple checked my pillows, my bed is next to my window so spiders sometimes get in at night when it’s colder which means my pillow is literally right underneath the window. Urgh why. I don’t hate spiders but I just wish they wouldn’t come into my home, it’s causes me to panic and they don’t pay rent! They aren’t paying for my heating bill, it’s like having a roommate you didn’t even know you had.

I think as children we tend to overthink things because our brains are designed to learn and internalize new information. When we're introduced to something unsettling or uncomfortable we keep thinking about it, probably more than we should, because that's how we think of all new information.
Agreee, however I think that, on top of discerning levels of "unsettling", it's probably also going past a certain amount of information that a kid's mind can take. If there's too much happening at once yet there's next to no context given as to why it's happening, it hits a nerve and it makes us uncomfortable while watching.
@@giboi03 Oh totally. I think a lot of the things we found unintentionally creepy as children were just too unusual or unexpected for our minds to comprehend. Kids take comfort in things staying the same; when something completely unexpected comes along it removes that sense of comfort.
As a child I had a very vivid, anxiety-ridden imagination and had a lot of nightmares. It’s human nature to fear what you don’t understand, so I think that kind of explains why so many things in the world, even the smallest things, can easily become terrifying.
Does that mean that as soon as A.I. gains emotions it will be fearing everything?
It's partially also a survival mechanism, when we're small and something is weird and we can't explain it we'll usually be scared until an adult comes along and explains it to us and reassures us that it's okay, or we gauge how frightened we should be (or just how we should feel about it in general) based on how the adult reacts, so if we watch a movie where something creepy happens and our parent fast forwards it? That is something bad that we aren't supposed to know, its unsettling because we know it exists and that its bad but not why.
The worst shit for me is things with silence before an incoming noise. I'm not talking about jumpscares. I'm talking about the emergency alert system, weather alerts, fbi anti piracy screens. I hate the incoming dread, the feeling of being alone.
HOLY SHIT I NEVER THOUGHT ANYONE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT
So the anticipation of warning sound? Like knowing something will happen with silence beforehand?
@@luiscordova4582 Yeah, but again it’s different instead of jumpscares. The noise isn’t sudden, and yet you know damn well it’s going to happen and you’ve got to contemplate that.
For me with the end of VHS tapes, it's the opposite. noise then silence is creepy.
This is how my night terrors are.
Its like "oh haha I'm just flying through the sky nice" and suddenly it goes quiet and I just KNOW its about to start and my mind immediately creates the first thing that'll make me scream myself awake.

i used to be terrified of tv static, the automated voice on landlines that was all like “the person you are trying to call is unavailable”, and the red screen with blue text that showed up after my favourite childhood show had ended and the channel was no longer available for the rest of the evening after 7 pm
god, yeah, ive always been scared of jarring sounds, especially robotic ones, like the pause where the audio repeats itself during a computer bluescreen or a cd track stopping or the emergency broadcast
Ugh, tv static scared me so much as kid, it would always show up in my nightmares and it would be really loud with no way of turning it off. The worst 😩
The computerized telephone voice also freaked me out as a kid.
YES and I didn’t know how to start the movie over or turn off the tv I guess cause I was little
This always happened to me at during sleep overs at my grandparents house . They would go to sleep at like 9pm and put a movie on for me to fall asleep. The vibe that the room had when the ending screen came on was so scary for me for some reason.
This really shows how small yet extreme something can be to traumatize a child. Doesn't always have to be abuse or a horrific accident.
If you like psychology, start getting into behavioral psychology. It's insane how little anything can alternate how the brain develops. Such as yelling at your child can cause mutism and stuttering or simply not being there enough can damage how relationships develop.
trauma in the context of tv/movies/video games scaring you is not the same context of being traumatized by abuse/horrific accident. ppl who woke up to creepy adult swim bumpers aren’t traumatized like abuse victims are

Some episodes of the Twilight Zone really kept me up at night when I was a kid. Most notably "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," with the weird gremlin thing walking around on the wing of the plane as a passenger watches it out the window.
I have a theory about the uncanny valley.
I don't think we necessarily encountered something in our past that was trying to intentionally look human, but there were two threats to prehistoric humans that may have caused this response:
A.) Neanderthals looked a bit like people but weren't quite there. They posed potential competition to prehistoric humans.
B.) Corpses, because not only could corpses carry disease and attract predators, but they also may represent an area where danger was present.
Just some food for thought.
I dont think it was Neanderthals because they were direct competion and they were basically larger with bigger limbs we all have a distinct fear of things that look so much like humans but have a slight "error" like no pores or just certain distinct slight differences. Corpses are more likely but still a reach since we dont get he uncanny valley feeling when seeing a corpse what we get is just general fear.
@@theinquisitor2682 It’s proven that humans have mated with Neanderthals though, so it’s not like they were just competition and some scary human like creature, they were competition, but not in all cases where they only considered that.
I think that’s an interesting concept, but the way I see it, I think it makes more sense that the uncanny valley is just creepy because it’s a bit off. It’s so close to being human, but there’s something wrong with the face.
like someone perfectly described above, i always thought the uncanny valley results from not exactly a biological response (though your comment is definitely interesting), but a fear of seeing something that nearly resembles us. Part of your brain sees it looks human yet you're fully aware that they're not, and i think it's that confusion that really messes with us. We fear over how "human" it seems, and that makes us fear over what it's capable of. After all, if something can look like us, does that mean it's capable of feeling emotions and being equally volatile? And if so, how would we be able to know? It isn't human after all, so it could very well hold malicious intent, yet we wouldn't be able to properly know, since it isn't fully human. I think it's that lack of/and equally enough knowledge that causes the valley--but idk, that's just how i see it.
Neanderthals were human tho

As children we are conditioned to feel safe with our parents. Whenever we are sad or hurt they are there to comfort us with reassuring words. So when something happens that makes them afraid it is terrifying to us when we are young. Perhaps there was a time when you were young when there was a series of weather alerts that worried your parents and that memory is being accessed when you hear similar sounds.

There was an episode of The Twilight Zone that _scared the hell out of me_ as a kid. I think it was called "The Midnight Sun" (or something similar) and it was about this woman hunkering down in her apartment with a couple other people while the Earth's orbit around the sun slowly decayed, bringing it in closer. There was no special effects. In fact, the only hint as to what this looked like was the paintings this woman made, which depicted a surreal, sun-baked landscape with a giant, angry looking sun looming above. A bunch of interpersonal drama happens and, towards the end, there's just this dreadful piano music going while shots of the thermometer creeping higher and higher and shown and all the woman's paintings start melting. The woman then screams and - thankfully - wakes up, only for the events of the dream to be revealed to be a fever dream she was having. However, it's ALSO revealed that the Earth was experiencing the exact opposite problem - it was moving away from the sun. The look of relief on this woman's face as she rejoiced in the cold while everyone else around her looked at her like she was unhinged haunted me for years after that.

@@MARAungabunga yeah with the red eyes it was pretty ominous tbh
Lost Tapes was the absolute best. The one about kids skating and a Thunderbird snatching one of them up scared me. It's the fear that one of your friends is gone, you can hear him calling for help, but he's so far away and you can't help him.
Nicki Minaj’s verse on Bottoms Up when she makes her voice all high literally used to scare the shit out of me to the point where I started crying. It still makes me laugh to this day

The fucking close up of the butterfly in Spongebob did damage to my mental
That singular episode made me afraid of every living creature that can buzz.
I have good news for you: I learned that was actually a close up of a horsefly, and actual close ups of butterflies are kinda cute. They look like the really fuzzy cutesy moths if you’ve seen those 😅
Yup I'm terrified of butterflies because of that
I developed huge phobia of insects because of that episode over 20 years since it came out
literally terrified of all bugs bc of this
coming back and watching this and hearing “10k subs” is such a mind freak
I could listen to Wendigoon talk about his childhood traumas forever.
What are you doing here??? Is Wendigoon going to be the next Horror History subject? 😂
@@totallyarealdoctor6498shut the hell up
How you doing my boy?
Bro, CZ…where is my Friday the 13th timeline explained at? I’ve been waiting man
this trend of describing things that aren't traumatic as "trauma" needs to stop
I remember as a kid I would watch horror movies from time to time, and my way to just not be scared as a child was to always think "what would Batman do here?" and that actually worked it's hilarious to think back on
That was my sort of approach most of the time too. Like if some sort of monster was real, then so could me having powers, or my toys being alive and protecting me like my gundams. 😂
I did something similar but with Jesus, like i would think "Jesus could take him"
I did this but because I was a snarky lil kid my mindset was "how smart is *blank* like my 5 year old self wanted this monsters IQ level 😅
@nemiaroraldo121what about Thor?
WWBD
I was scared of my basement. I thought ghosts and evil demons lived under there like the exorcist girl. So every time I went downstairs I would give an evil laugh and talk about how I'm planning to take over the world to trick them into thinking I was with them.
Bro that's fucking adorable lol
Just imaging your parents/guardians hearing you evil laugh every time you go down to the basement and just looking at each other like "what in the world is that child doing?"
@Kyrencin She's literally the reason I wasn't able to sleep in my own room until I was in 6th grade. Every once in a while, she'll pop up in my dreams in my room and stalk me from my closet and then lunge at me and attack. Not fun. ): (The nun from the conjuring will also once in a blue moon enter into my dreams, stalking me in my closest as I'm in my bed.)
thats friggin genius ngl
absolute menace
The episode of lost tapes where the owlman takes the old lady was such a pivotal moment in my life because I really thought they captured and old lady getting abducted and nobody did anything about it
For me weather alerts and storm warnings really messed me up as a kid. Any kind of siren with a "robotic" voice repeating a message still creeps me out.
I'm the exact same, there was a scene in a show I happened to watch as a kid, it was on the aussie channel abc3 when it first came out, and there was a part where the main characters were running from these goop monsters, which I was fine with, but there was this unholy bomb siren in the background that really fucked with me
@@Ya_boi00 I have a very specific memory of staying at my grandparents due to a hurricane warning. And as I was watching cartoons the TV just went black and a storm warning came on and it scared me really bad. I'm pretty sure that's where it comes from for me.
We had a tornado come within a few miles of our house when I was like 5, and ever since then I've been terrified of tornados and any weather alert noises. My parents were very calm about the whole thing, but I'm still scarred lol
Oh, yes, that awful attention signal and the robot voice! I tried to desensitize myself... Couldn't do it.
the nazi iron cross in your profilepic creeps me out
Bro I remember watching a show called "1000 ways to die" that shit was awful to 6 year old me

I haven thought of mouse soup in so long. You just reintroduced me to a part of my childhood.
I encourage every single person watching this to make a video about their childhood trauma, this stuff is fascinating to me
Well i hope a reply will be ok. The big thing that stuck with me was Akira. The ending inparticular. If you have seen it you know whatbi mean
Here's mine! So when I was little, like 7 or so, I watched the 2000-something Amityville Horror, and overall I was unimpressed, but I loved the movie anyway. However, there was one scene that stuck with me for several years, and that was the bathtub scene. Basically when the main character lays back in the tub to relax, a plethora of hands come up to grab at him. Theres a lot of bloody stuff and it's a great scene, but as an 8 year old kid it scared the living hell out of me. My other biggest trauma incident that carried through for many years was the Lost Tapes episode on Vampires. I dont think it was the same one as this video, but I remember that the camera crew was showing a hole in a wall and it was an entrance point for the Vampire to get in. Then there was another scene that was like a night cam over a child sleeping in bed, and the cryptid came out of the closet and took the kid. I dont remember much about it, but I slept with my closet doors closed and on my back with the hall light on for many years after that. As i got older i convinced myself that if a vampire was going to grab me in the night, it already would have. Anyway, those are the biggest things I remember from childhood, aside from the actual abuse going on at home at the time.
Thanks for reading!
I can't remember what it was called, but back in kindergarten, the librarian at my school read us a book about a farmer who was starving, so he went to hunt, and he found a creature, but it was too dark for him to see so he just shot at it. He didn't kill it and it ran away, but he managed to shoot its tail off. I remember the tail was really long and it looked like a really bushy fox tail or something, and it was pitch black. After eating it, he goes to bed, but wakes up because he hears scratching and a weird voice from outside his house. It breaks in and it's implied that the farmer was killed because it had its tail again and was singing about it. The illustrations of the creature looked like a void in a vaguely animalistic shape. Why she would read that to us, I have no idea.
@@eilir_adron My girlfriend and I were just talking about this story the other day! I wish I could remember where we read it from, but we both remembered it. It seems like a story that would be found in Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, but I can't be sure.

THE SPONGEBOB EPISODE WHERE HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON AND COULDNT FIND ANYONE THAT SCARED ME
Dude yes!!! That episode haunts me
Oh man there’s so much scifi that starts out that way lol
It’s because they were at SpongeBobMan (spongebob burningman)
Naw one thing that scared me about spongebob was the ds game. I was scared of the dirty bubble so much that I threw away the box just to no see his face on my desk
*_Where did everybody GOOOO_* _gooo goooo goo go_
Ngl without his dad showing him all these scary movies we probably wouldn’t have this channel
Grandpa was cool
Word we all benefitted from his dads insanity.
The Goosebumps episode The Werewolf of Fever Swamp really messed with me as a youngling. Just the dark shots of the kids running through the swampy woods while hearing the howling and monstrous sounds while having absolutely no idea what was going on suuuuper got to me
I used to be TERRIFIED of the green screen that would appear before a trailer played. Looking back on it now, I was a stupid 9 year old.
THX anybody? XD
@@MrSaturnMusic it sounded like a hundred cows
really weird but i use to get so scared when i was alone in a room and in the other room people were laughing. i’d always run out the room. not to see what they were laughing at, but because if i stayed in the room where i was alone, i’d get to scared. weird i know.
@@luiscordova4582 that's what I used to think! 😂
I was scared from the trailer for X-Men 2 that played before Ice Age (I had that movie on a video tape)
i could shake off horror movies fine growing up but that spongebob episode with the hyper realistic butterfly did an absolute number on my psyche that still affects me to this day
Spongebob scared the shit outta me as a kid was the Hash Slinging Slashers last minute, where Nosferatu was flicking the light switch. The image of him standing there was the worst to me. But I loved that episode so I would turn the Channel before the last few seconds every time XD
@@Pina-Azwel i though it was funny
The gorilla suit ripping itself in half
For whatever reason, I was really creeped out by the talking drop of hot sauce from the episode where Sandy and Spongebob have to out-karate each other. Maybe it just reminded me of the devil or something but I never liked looking at it lol
im still scared of butterflies because of that episode 💀
animal planets's" monster's inside me" scared tf out of me. Let's just say I never swam in a lake ever again.
I still have a lasting phobia of lake/pond water from that fucking show
OMG I LOVED THAT SHOW AND IT TERRIFIED ME! esp the ones about foodborne parasites and stuff, i wouldn’t want to eat 😭
That show fascinated and terrified me
The episode about tape worms made me so scared and paranoid as a kid omg. No other episode got to me like that but I remember being terrified Id get tape worms.
ah shit you just revived a buried memory for me 😭
"10k subs"
You've come so far, Wendi
You deserve this
The thing that scared me the most was the butterfly episode from spongebob. The zoom in of the real life butterfly footage made me run out of the room crying and screaming.
i still fast forward through that like i was/is very afraid of big butterflies
Holy shit dude, the real life gorilla in that spongebob episode really fucked with my head
My younger cousins were scared of the flying dutchman. I was never afraid of that.
I think Nosferatu fucked with me for a while. That whole episode was scarry as hell
I WAS EATING SPAGHETTI WHEN I FIRST SAW IT AND I HAVENT EATEN IT SINCE SPONGEBOB FUCKED ME WITH THIS EPISODE
oml i hated the gorilla suit one, i had nightmares as a little kid lmao
My childhood trauma was falling asleep on the couch only to be abruptly woken up by the George Lopez show intro on Nick at Nite. Another one was watching the end of a VHS, the fun and colorful Veggie Tales being jarringly offset by the cold, liminal space of a dark room, illuminated only by the glow of the black screen of the crt and the only sounds being the whirring of the VCR and the humming from the tape.
Kids who have grown up on laptops and smartphones will have no idea of the terror of waking up to a fuzzy VCR.
Yea George Lopez is pretty scary
@@Sawrattan I absolutely hated trying to get to the DVD option on my TV only to get to that horrible static noise playing non stop. It terrified me.
I was afraid of Adult Swim’s intro scenes, like with no music just nature ones, I found it so weird and scary as a child
yeah that terrified me too, but because this other old channel called "chiller" also played relaxing nature clips followed by a screamer, so i was always scared of quiet peaceful videos.
I remember this one commercial Nickelodeon played, for Rabbids (that weird one with the rabbits), where they had a nature scene and the narrator told us to look closer to find the rabbid, and the camera kept zooming in, and then there was a jumpscare of the rabbid, that shit terrified me
I used to get scared of the ending out robot chicken (the little skull with the scream)
I used to be scared of the thing at the end of robot chicken episodes where it's like the skull. It's called William Street or something like that but a cartoonish skull would pop up and a guy would yell
@@zachh.9065 oh my gosh I remember those videos my older brother would always show it me to get me off the computer when he wanted to have a turn but I remember the videos he would show me was called kff pronounced kayfee and whenever I see clips similar to thst I just get scared
My fear is anything that can fly around, specifically like bugs and birds.
I've known people with pet birds, or little parakeets or something, and those guys are chill.
I also don't mind crawly bugs like worms, or even spiders.
It was something about the noise of the wings, and the seemingly erratic movement of small living things in flight that scared me. and I never knew why.
Like I always had this faint memory, like not even the visuals or sounds, just this feeling of being scared by this when I was really little, and not knowing what it was.
Then my family went to Disney World. Well we always went there for vacation, but when I was like 19 we went, and we went to the Bug's Life show because my younger brother hadn't seen it. For those that don't know, Disney World had an attraction for Bug's Life called "It's Tough to be a Bug!" The audience gets "shrunk down" to bug size and watches a movie of the life of bugs with the characters from the movie as big animatronics that talk and say cute stuff. I knew that we had watched it before but it had been so long that I couldn't really remember it, plus my brother and I loved Bug's Life.
Towards the end of the show, the whole thing gets hijacked by the villain from Bug's Life, Hopper, and he shows how humans are mean to bugs and make pesticides and whatnot to kill them, inciting the bugs to attack the audience... There's flashing lights, there's "pesticides" (fog machine) filling the room, and then the constant, loud buzzing of insect wings that specifically triggers my fight or flight... and it just all comes crashing back to me. Like I wasn't screaming or even shaking, I was frozen with the realization that THIS is what caused my fear. I'm so glad they shut it down.
The puppet/homeless guy scene in the polar express scared the shit outta me
OMG SAME
Oh no, my submerged trauma!
BRUH I FORGOT ABOUT THIS
Who wasn't?
I could. NOT. watch the puppet compartment scene. We watched Polar Express for like five years in a row at my grandma's house, for Christmas, and I never worked up the courage to watch it without fidgeting around, becoming intensely interested with the arm of the couch for several moments, etc.
I was TERRIFIED of “the foot” from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I didn’t understand that it was irony and the idea of an uncontrollable foot just walking around silently, and maybe in my house, scared the shit out of me.

-those “top 10 darkest Disney secrets” videos
-my friends would play this weird game called “there’s a knife in your back there’s a needle in your back” that didn’t sit right with me
-the SB-129 episode of spongebob where squidward gets stuck in that white void
-the zombie bear Mor’du from Brave
-the THX logo before movies
-this one episode of the twilight zone with a haunted slot machine
-the tsunami from deep impact
-the shots of gollum when he’s transforming from a hobbit into gollum
-there was this radio show and they started telling this story about a woman who was buried alive
-this Mickey Mouse creepypasta
-there was this British movie based on an old book and in one scene there’s this creepy room and a trapdoor randomly opens and there’s this black hook on the wall and this guy hangs himself
-in my favorite video game series, rusty lake, there are these monsters called corrupted souls that sometimes jumpscare you, and combined with sound effects, it’s terrifying, and i used to think that they watched me when I slept
-there’s a show called bleak house where a guy spontaneously combusts and the mailman walks in a few hours later and all that’s left of the guy is a pile of ashes, and there’s this horrific shot of his burnt up hand
- in the phantom of the opera there’s a scene where the phantom puts a rope around someone’s neck and he falls over the stage and gets hanged, but he starts twitching around as he’s dying
@Ken Matharoo thats the worst of them all
oh my god i introduced concentrate to all my friends in elementary school that's crazy

Am I out of the loop about this? What's scary about the THX logo? Is it the one with the flying creature that plugs in the thing to make the cows moo? or am I misremembering.

Good luck with that. Me and my friends all grew up Mormon and we still snuck around it and saw whatever we wanted somehow. This is in the early 2000s as well. Much easier now.
I mean it doesn’t matter?
I've heard a theory that the reason we don't like things that are Not Quite Human is because of diseases like rabies. Which makes sense to me. If Ug is usually friendly and brings you meat, it might be evolutionarily advantageous to notice that the person you recognize as Ug is moving weird and doesn't like water for some reason. Noticing that something's not quite right and having your reaction be a real hard 'nope' probably helped keep our ancestors from all getting infected with random bad viruses
And I really liked Ug :( such a nice dude til he ate that bat
I think you're just looking too deep into it it's really not all that complicated we don't like things that don't look like humans because we're humans
I've always thought of it as being a thing for two reasons, 1 is because the original humans weren't like we are now and 2 is that humans literally evolve to fight each other. Makes sense we'd be scared of eachother.
From an evolutionary point or even a pseudo religious sense, it makes sense. If demons, vampires, werwolves are real, or something similar, it would have a lasting impression on those that survived the tales. Most see cannibalism or blood drinking as terrible and deeply disturbing. Many also see wolf/animal men as dangerous. At some point there was something literally like or akin to those tropes that left a deep impression. Snakes and spiders are very real, and most aren’t harmful, but for some reason many people have a innate aversion to them. How real and how far back were these things an issue?
@@cowblob6539 yeah I thought it was when there were other hominids about and a fair few ate homosapciens so we are scared of them plus they look similair but not quiet the same. hence myths like goblins, ogres, trolls ect but i could be wrong.
Uncle Elephant is what traumatized me as a child. Mouse Soup is still one of my favorites to this day I'm not sure what draws me to it but it's such a unique piece of art, with silly stories, sure. But good morals woven into it. It stuck with me, and I'll always remember it.
Yo Spirited Away when the parents turned into pigs made me run up the stairs. Imagine you're 10 and your parents arent just gone but turn into the monsters youre trying to run away from. Terrifying.
I watched that movie at around that age and literally had to be taken out of the theater and brought home. The way the dad was being stubborn about it and wouldnt listen to chihiro was also just way too close to our family dynamic it really messed me up.

And yet that episode considered as the most realistic and nihilism spongebob's video ever seen. Yeah no wonder some people get scared or traumatized tho.
I first experienced anxiety watching that episode
You nailed that description of being freaked out by space/infinite expanses. I've had such a deep fear of that stuff since I was a kid and not many people get it!
Vast space gives me the same nauseating and uncomfortable feeling that tight spaces give me and no one understands it.
Read Lovecraft.
If you are not already...
Exactly, while everyone wanted to be an astronaut, I’d rather stay at earth with my small brain
Hell yeah. Even since I was like 12, it always made me feel uncomfortable how insignificant we really are in the grand scope of the universe. One solar flare can change everything. Earth gets hit with a pulsar ray? Bye bye atmosphere. The odds are astronomically low that these things would happen, but they *can.*
I used to watch Mouse Soup as a kid on long car trips at night, and I think the night part was what made the video a lot creepier because watching it now as an almost 20 year old, the songs in the story are absolute bangers to listen too
The dumbest thing I got shook by was the THX sound and logo that started before a movie
I suffered the same fate. Even the Klasky Csupo logo horrified me as a kid!
We al had that
I used to always go to movie theaters with my family and I absolutely HATED that sound. It made me jump every time and it did not help that I have sensitive hearing and ASD.

I thought this was a newer video and had to do a double take when he said “We just hit 10k subs” wow what a long way he’s come
When I was a kid I adopted a habit of looking under my pillow before I slept because my grandma told me once that it helps make sure there are no monsters, and since I sleep with my arm beneath the pillow, if there was a monster I would be grabbed easier.
One day I looked under the pillow and a massive wolf spider was chilling there.
I haven't stopped looking beneath pillows before sleep since
Oh my god you made me check my pillow too when you mentioned the spider..
Bro I’m sleeping rn why would you bring this up
same thing happend to me but with a cockroach
._.
I just triple checked my pillows, my bed is next to my window so spiders sometimes get in at night when it’s colder which means my pillow is literally right underneath the window. Urgh why. I don’t hate spiders but I just wish they wouldn’t come into my home, it’s causes me to panic and they don’t pay rent! They aren’t paying for my heating bill, it’s like having a roommate you didn’t even know you had.
Spongebob’s close up during his “I DEFINITELY don’t need it...” His eyes petrified me on the couch. Left the room whenever it came on thereafterward lol
