I was quite afraid of fire when I was younger, particularly housefires. Campfires and that sort of thing didn't bother me much but at some points in my childhood I was actually afraid to leave my house because I was so paranoid that when I came home, the house would be destroyed, along with all my stuff. This still affects me to an extent today; I often unplug everything in my bedroom before I go out. I'm also very afarid of being trapped with an out of control fire as well, that's probably my greatest fear. Being trapped alone somewhere is also a fear of mine, along with being lost without any method of communication.

It's not so much a fear, but I also have a problem with static and distorted video tapes; it makes me uncomfortable. That also goes back to when I was younger and we had a very poor quality video recorder that often damaged whatever it was that was being recorded, usually children's televison in my case. I've never really found a logical reason as to why it makes me uncomfortable, but things relating to distorted/corrputed images and sound, static and other video-type imagery seems to get to me quite a bit. Stories like Squidward's Suicide and Dead Bart don't scare me at all, but my favourite type of film is found footage horror, such as my personal favourites, the V/H/S series.
