Yeah, I saw the movie when it first came out in theaters.  I was... 9.  It changed mah life.

After discovering Captain Falcon, Reggie, and Bear Grylls, I don't have any substantial phobias anymore.

But staring straight down at an opaque body of water with an uncertain depth always made me uneasy.

Same thing happened to my sister except it was Pet Cemetery on DVD.  She now has an irrational fear of dead people.  Not zombie, just dead people.  She's afraid she'll get up in the middle of the night at there will be a bunch of dead bodies chilling at her kitchen table drinking coffee together.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

LOL No doubt. I wouldn't mind those dead folk as long as they remember to put the fucking sugar away! Or else it's motherfuckin' shotgun time!

The only real fear I have is being touched by something I'm not expecting. That's why I freak out if a spider's on my shoulder. Not because of the spider persay, but because it's all the sudden on my shoulder.

Also poison. I'm scared of being poisoned. Poisoning someone is such a bitch move; I hate it.

The sequel to this game should be:

DEADLY CREATURES: Anamalocaris vs. Eurypterus!

I would buy that in a heartbeat, even if the two animals were separated by millions of years in real life.
This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

I hate being far out in water where I know there are sharks. I have that unnatural queasiness around certain water spots too.
I also used to get scared of those big fish that hide in the sand and eat things that step on them. I used to imagine giant ones swallowing me when I went out in the water in Florida with my cousins.

What's really scary in the water is stuff like box jellyfish.  A creature big enough to squish or eat you without a thought, even on accident, is one thing.  A creature too stupid not to kill you is something else entirely.

Is Stratos scared of water levels in games?

I went through a jellyfish scare phase as well when I got stung by one at a young age.

But don't the big ones not go anywhere near the surface?

It is funny water levels in games like Mario 64, Zelda etc freak me out but Endless Ocean didn't bother me. I guess I wasn't worried about something jumping out at me (though I did tense up when I went down the trench in Endless Ocean).

When I was playing Deadly Creatures I had this overwhelming creepy sensation of controlling a spider. I was full of joy. I'm not scared of bugs in general, although Arachnophobia did make me aware of spiders even more when I slipped my feet into my slippers, but not anymore because I grew out of that awareness. My phobia for deep waters (when I can't see the bottom) still remains though until this day.

What freaks me out about the ocean is the illusion of being able to see forever.  It looks like an eternity of blue in ever direction, but the truth is anything can sneak up on you easily.  That's just freaky.  I don't have a fear of any particular sea creatures, really, but I'm unnerved by all that nothing hiding all those somethings.

I'm actually not bothered too much by water levels in other games, but Endless Ocean I keep thinking a shark will eat me for some reason.

Though I was haunted by crazy dreams about the Ocarina water temple. Actually there is a funny story about that because my dream predicted a part of Twilight Princess before Wind Waker came out.

I was doing a run through of Ocarina and got all turned around on the water temple and ended up spending hours on it. I finally gave up in the middle of the night and had a crazy dream where I was fighting Gannondorf. I was fighting him when he called his horse and tried to run me over. Epona broke through the door and Gannon and myself had a mounted sword duel. I ended up killing his horse and he got mad and killed Epona. I then woke up all traumatized because my horse had died. A lot of it played out similar to Twilight Princess' final boss fights where you were using your horse.
Strangely I saw nothing to do with the water temple even though it was that level's frustration that probably caused the dream.

Behold true terror!

A well accessorized women is at the top of my list of things I try to avoid.  Of course, that makes navigating the mall a nightmare.  Seriously though, with water the only thing you have to fear is drowning or being stung, but a women can cause long term physical, mental, psychological, and financial damage.

You've been warned!   ;D
