Is the scares us most question about what scares us most at horror movies or in life? Because I find human killers are the creepiest because they stay with me longer. Like they could actually be lurking outside! But, like, zombies creep me out but I can't imagine them roaming my street.

I was asking in terms of movies, but am totally fine with hearing all answers. ;)

-I probably enjoy more Queen songs; I just checked off the ones I recognized by name. "Under Pressure" rocks my world.

-I'm glad I'm not in the minority for being scared of ghosts! XD

-I didn't actually know Carmen San Diego was a TV show. I loved the computer games, though.

-I didn't watch Mister Rogers. We got Canadian television, so I watched the Canadian version, Mister Dressup. Which I loved! :D

Oh no? So that means you never heard this amazing Carmen Sandiego theme song?

Though okay, I loved the computer game as well. :D

Looked up Mister Dressup - looks like it was pretty cute!

I'm not sure if I went fishing because once my dad bought some fishing poles from the K-Mart in Bay Ridge on a whim and we went to City Island and spent a lot of time on a bench trying to figure out how to like, "string" them. Eventually they made it into the water (we were standing by some bridge thing) but my dad said there were no fish because of the weather or something, does that count?

Also are a lot of people scared of ghosts because they think they're real? Almost the same number of people are scared of sentient human killers, and those are definitely real.

I don't know. For myself, I picked ghosts because IF they WERE real, they'd be the thing that scares me the most. Especially when it's like Poltergeist and you can't see the thing as it throws chairs around or tries to bring you into the closet. I think maybe the "not seeing, not knowing" thing makes them scary in movies.

Sentient human killers are definitely real, yeah, and that's scary, but the real things that scare me the most are the dangerous animals.

Yes, I think this counts. There being no fish is a common problem among fishing trips!

The thing that really scares me? Painful, icky, realistically depicted medical procedures, because they might really happen. And I grew up fishing on a lake and loved it. Deep-sea fishing is really cool, too. Note that we always ate our catch, though.

I've been regular fishing and ice fishing, though I think the best part of the latter was the ski-do trip out to the cabin.

Educational kids programs: do not forget Polka Dot Door, plz. Also, I'd hazard that Wishbone's relative lack of popularity might be a generational thing? I'd probably have loved it if I'd been just a few years younger when it aired.
