We're Not Celebrating Anything, So We Must Be An Angry Mob.

Yesterday, an envelope came through my letterbox. On the front, it said that it was from the Stig.

Inside was a blank piece of paper.

I laughed so hard.


Now it is time to establish the answer to a question that has been troubling me for, er, about ten minutes, actually. I honestly have no idea which character frightens me more. (If you don't know any of them but want to make some other suggestions, just skip the first question.)


[Poll #1232099]

(A reminder: I've only seen up to the fifth episode of the second season of Prison Break, so please try not to spoil me in the comments. Thank you!)

Aw, I'm not a poll option! I'm disappointed now!

Note to self: Must be more terrifying. In entirely legal and ethical ways, trickily enough.

Since I have yet to watch No Country For Old Men, and I have no desire to watch Silent Hill, I must say T-Bag freaked me out the most!

And I also added The Joker! Have you watched The Dark Knight? Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker is quite terrifying.

I second the Joker nomination; he has this sort of hideously disturbing reverse-charisma that makes it impossible to stop watching him as much as you might want to.

The other characters I mention are a wacko priest with a speech impediment and a disturbing fondness for robots and a cannibalistic, skin stealing, invincible women-thing, respectively! ...They are very scary in context!

Awww, poor ol' Teddy ain't scary. He's cuddly!

Since I don't really find Pyramid Head terrifying (don't know why not, better not ask in case I suddenly start to), I'm gonna go with option D, and then as I said, the little kid from The Shining. No, not the little girls (okay, so they're terrifying too), the main character. And Jack, sure, but mostly the kid.

I don't get really scared by characters as such? Just sitations. Probably because I secretly quite like psycho characters.

I don't know who two of those are, and Pyramid Head doesn't scare me! ...I quite happily ship him with James.

The Childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is about the only fictional character that genuinely terrifies me.

Not Test Card Girl. Just her clown. Does nobody else find that clown scary?

Anyone who's seen Saw...I can't remember what the villain in that was called, but he creeped me out. It was the mask. Also! The Gentlemen in the Buffy episode "Hush". And that guy...

A Song of Ice and Fire is FILLED with crazy psychopaths and they're all creepy, but Cersei is deadcreepy because she's Queen and has people who can torture people and she's all ruthless and mad and scary.

I could never be terrified of T-Bag, for I have seen his inner cuddly bits, and he is AWESOME. Also, the Joker was creepy, but too glorious a creation to scare me like he should have. And I still don't know what he does on his days off.

I am obviously not scared by people or most monsters, but give me a FAST ANGRY ZOMBIE, a small enclosed space -- potholing with cave ins and monsters chasing you OMG -- or AUGH STATUES THAT ONLY MOVE WHEN YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT THEM AUGH, and I'm reduced to hiding behind a cushion.

I am far, far more easily frozen in terror by fictional video game characters, because I actually have to confront them. Some things from movies or shows make me jump, but it's not a lasting scare.

There are a couple other characters I probably could have included that are exceptions to the video games thing, but most of them I've ... I dunno, become used to or something (like Rampage from Beast Wars, who isn't really that scary until you sit and think about it. Or maybe I just say that because I've had years to get used to him). Plus I ran out of room.

JADIS OF CHARN.

BUT ONLY IN THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW. SHE WAS MUCH LESS CREEPY IN THE REST OF THE BOOKS.

[emmarrrrr.livejournal.com]

ALSO THE BLUE SUN GUYS FROM SERENITY. THEY ARE VERY VERY CREEPY.

I recognize the subject line for this post as a quote from some cartoon or other, but I can't for the life of me figure out which one. Help? Please? It is going to drive me bonkers until I figure it out.
