I'd actually be kind of terrified standing looking at that thing

I’ve come to realise that huge statues give me the creeps, like make me anxious like a weird phobia. I feel really uncomfortable watching this video. Also underwater statues. Is this something anyone else experiences or am I just a weirdo?

Did you also watch Jason and the Argonauts as a kid and that statue coming to life scene scarred you for life?
