We All Have Fears, What Is Your Most Primal Fear?

Getting old...

Driving or riding next to 18 wheelers on a high speed roadway.
Men when I'm alone on the street at night.

ah but the alternative is dying young...

Right zero chance because even if you only appear dead they'll remove all your blood and replace it with formaldehyde then put you in the ground. Lol reply to: IShotMyLastMuse

LOL rabbits. He saw Monty python and the holy grail one too many times. a reply to: pheonix358

Not true. I love scary movies, horror novels and roller coasters. Love being scared. a reply to: AccessDenied

And to think your parents paid her to do that. That's child abuse.a reply to: SalientSkivvy

My biggest fear is either being eaten alive or being burned to death. Seriously. Both would suck so hard.

Or getting my head slowly removed by bad bad folk. :C

Would it be right to say

Eaten to death and burned alive! Just the foibles of our language

Or perhaps you could combine them both for, lightly sauteed and then eaten to death.

Dying alone.

I hope that means you want someone to comfort you when you die ... otherwise
how many people would be a good number to die with you?

Google what used to be in ketchup before someone was monitoring the production. Then you'll be glad they're there .a reply to: rickymouse

I tried googling this but couldn't find anything about this subject. A lot of time it is the proper wording that is important to find something like this and I tried about five different ways to word it. Can you provide a link to this? I don't remember anything about this over the years, but I wasn't paying that much attention to this kind of stuff for many years when I was building houses, believing that the FDA was taking care of all of this kind of stuff. I was a fool I guess till I awakened to be able to see the truth.

I went to the NYC premiere of a movie called "The Car" about a big shiny black Callidac that came to life and ran people over. The movie sucked but being it was the NYC premiere, when we came out of the theater the curb out front was lined with big shiny black Callidacs. That gave me a moment. LOL. a reply to: Josephus

One would think that insurance concerns would preclude them being allowed to restrain people in any way. It's not exactly like the lap bar in a roller coaster.
The actors need to maintain a certain distance. I've had some get too close. In that atmosphere with fog and low lighting and if your lucky and old enough a shot of tequila under your belt, if they're too close when they try to scare you they'ree just taking a chance is all I'm sayin.LOL.

I too was intrigued. I couldn't find much but,

EGAD!

I'd hate to have seen ketchup before the FDA as current regs allow for up to 45 percent mold growth on the tomatoes before they're processed into the beloved condiment. Here's a pic of an old bottle recalled for having been made of "decomposed material". www.vmps.us...

My biggest fear is getting to my posts at the end of the thread and finding out I'm all alone and talking to myself.

For me, the really spooky things are those chimneys called "Lobster-back rotary Cowls" on top of old red brick factory buildings. They are designed to rotate, so that the vent faces away from the direction of the wind.

With the old models, they would have the fin in the shpe of something gothic; a dragon head, old man winter, a raven, or a harvester with a scythe ...They always seemed to be looking around for someone or something to suck into the furnace...

chestofbooks.com...

They used to put kerosene and other petroleum products and weird preservatives and just the skin and cores with red dye.

See this about halfway down the page. Contaminated Ketchup. The part about meat inspectors may also influence your opinion of the guys who regulate the food trade. You could have explosive ketchup !

Yeah a lot of the physical consequences one would think would be par for course when their up in somebody's grill trying to scare them. With fight or flight, even in a controlled environment, some are going to opt for fight. The weird thing, also mentioned in the Cracked article is an apparent third option of arousal with patrons getting all touchy-feely with the "haunters". Since i mentioned it here's the article 4 Horrifying Realities of Working at a Haunted House

As per insurance matters I would assume some type of waiver would be involved. There are some major evolutions happening in the haunting world going on right now with things like full contact haunted entertainment where they straight up "kidnap" you. Also they have immersive overnight haunted camping trips. On that show Shark Tank Mark Cuban invested in a young woman's horror company who's apparently leading the way. As I said before, forget that noise.

They should consider that third one a bonus and stop bellyachin. LOLa reply to: Josephus

Having people have to stop and sign waivers would cut into their profits. Long wait on line while people read and then sign and the ones who just say "hell no" and simply walk away. I doubt they'd even suggest hand cuffs.
At least in the common haunted tour . Those other things are extreme experiences and probably require extensive pre planning for all participants. And contracts yes.
