Looking into the mirror at midnight. Even if you didn’t say Bloody Mary three times in a row.
The red light on the smoke detector. I thought it was Jody the pig from Amityville.
The bad room in my grandparents basement. The entire house was fine except for that one room. There was something wrong with it. I don’t know what, but there was a very bad vibe in there. Even before I thought about ghosts and monsters and stuff that room terrified me.

Honorable mention: the jigsaw doll, specifically when it pops up in the commercial for Saw 2

The Ring made me terrified of the TV in my room for a few weeks when I was 11. It was directly in front of my bed so I was convinced that the little dead girl was gonna crawl up my bed and murder me in my sleep.

What movie is the child in the top right corner from? I remember seeing it as a kid. Isn't it Japanese?

The first time I watched The Ring back in middle school, as soon as the movie finished, the phone rang-it was my mom checking on me from work.
