Horror Movies that Play Upon our Fears

Almost everyone has some fears whether it be snakes, clowns, or even elevators. My greatest fear, which is very odd, is submarines. No joke I run out of the room if I see on on tv, in a book, or anything they freak the hell out of me! So here is my list of some movies that play on our fears. If you can think of any others please reply with the name of the movie! I know there are more than one of some of these movies that play on our fears but to keep the list short I'm only listing one from each fear.

Jaws For those afraid of sharks

Devil For those who fear elevators, tight spaces, even the devil

Arachnophobia Those creepy crawling spiders

Killer Clowns from Outer Space Fear of clowns

The Descent Fear of the dark, tight spaces, and LOTS of blood

Snakes on a Plane Snakes and Flying

Final Destination series Death and Dying

Splinter Pointy things like needles and splinters

The Dentist The Dentist or Doctors

The Marble Hornets - OCD, paranoia, anxiety http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkqyeyzSZR1qchm6no1_500. http://www.youtube.com/marblehornets

Alright, you can't just admit something like that publicly and not elaborate.

I could understand if you were claustrophobic, afraid of drowning, or the like, but to run out of the room if you see one on televion just because they freak you out . . . I can't wrap my mind around that one.

I'd love to hear the story behind that fear.

My biggest fear is the afterlife, or more to the point, what's waiting in it if one actually exists.

Movies dealing with demonic posseson are the only movies that truly scare me.

Ok so here is the story. I had a dream one night about the old submarine ride at Disney Land with it being all empty and creepy as f*ck ._. not to mention Jude Law being in the dream as well.... god knows why. But from then on they have freaked me out! Something about seeing a big metal thing in open water just moving and omg ahhh honest to god it freaks me out talking about it!!! It may not make too much sense but they really do scare me to death. :S

Damn Jude Law!

It's bad enough that all the ladies love him, but now he's mixed up in your Ipobrichiophobia . . . yep, I looked it up.

Take that name with a grain of salt though; I don't know how reputable the webtes are.

It's a damn shame really, The Hunt For Red October is a kick-ass movie.

At least you can laugh about it.

All hope is not lost.

._. no and now I plan never to xD

@BloodyAdored, don't ever watch Below. (a little known horror gem written by Darren Aronofsky that takes place on a submarine)

Galaxy of terror and Event Horizon literally played on people's fears...City of the Living Dead dealt with being buried alive, dying by the hands of a loved one, etc.
