Plushie Violence
Yeah, I made you all want to see <9> didn't I? I just bought it.
I'm a weird person, there's three really silly things in life that terrify me. I mean, I have normal, serious fears, like everyone. But I also have 3 really dumb, illogical ones. Ghosts are one of them. They really scare me. I mean, i'm a whimpering coward crying in a corner with only the mention of ghosts. The second one is buzzing, flying bugs. Don't ask me why. But my friends are amused at seeing me freak out from having a dragonfly zoom past me. The last thing is toys and plushies getting destroyed, pulled apart, burned, generally maimed. I have no idea why.
When I was a kid, I though toys were alive (...damn you, Toy Story!) so the idea of one getting damaged terrified me. I was afraid that a mean toy would get his revenge. And I was worried that a kind toy would be in pain, screaming silently on the inside. Yeah, I was a freaky kid. When I saw toys in the street, lost, I always picked them up and put them in a less "dangerous" place (on a bench, under a roof so it doesn't rain on them, etc). Lost toys make me sad. Destroyed toys freak me out (again, remember how this is not a logical fear).
So yeah, that scene in Toy story where "reconstructed" zombie toys come out from under a bed is pure nightmare fuel for me.
<9> seems to be in that scary zone too. It's kinda like the Matrix had a child with Little Big Planet and the child was raised by Tim Burton. So there's violence made to plushies. Damn cute, voodoo looking stitch plushies. And yeah, most of them died and a lot get ripped in this movie. I want to see this movie because, dammit, it's Tim Burton and it looks cool. But I think i'm gonna wait until Link gets here before watching it...
For those wondering, the scene I saw was the death of Number "5". Brrrrr.
You guys must have so illogical fears too.

1. Man-made heights. Planes don't scare me, nor do cliffs or mountains. But put me more than 2 stories up where I can see the way down on anything man-made (like stairs) and something in the back of my brain starts screaming bloody murder and I start gripping anything I can for support.
2. Mushroom circles. I will have an absolute fit if anyone tries to make me cross one. I guess this is why?
3. Also, I hate being in dark rooms with uncovered mirrors. I cannot handle it. If the light is on, I'm fine, but otherwise I have this rabid fear of a woman in the mirror throwing axes and the like at you from with the mirror if you can't get the light on before she gets you. That was the variation of invoking "Bloody Mary" that I grew up with. Even though I've never said it three times in a dark room with a mirror, the fear remains.
