Cool poll. I've always been afraid of the idea of large aquatic monsters. I even get the jitters fighting water bosses in Zelda games.

Supernatural monsters. The more unlikely they were to be real, the more I feared them. I believe in witches...

I'm afraid of flying, neuro-parasitic pizzas! Head for the tanning salons, lest you succumb to mind-shattering pain!

When I was young, I was afraid of a variety of sea creatures, most notably eels. "Can the Eel Come Out to Play?" took me ages to complete in the original SM64 because of that hideous freak's roar.

Hmmm... I do believe I was once afraid of alien invasions or something like that... but then I got smart. There are no hostile life forms out there ready to come shooting Earth. It's all peace and happiness out there.

Today... I ain't afraid o' nothin'. Except spiders. C'mon--what can have eight legs and NOT be a monster?

Sea monsters for me because, for all we know, those things are completely real.

"House" monsters would definitely freak me out more in the media, though. I'm in my house more than I'm in the ocean!

House monsters... I used to be ridiculously afraid of my closet. Only at night, though. Also spiders. Sometimes I can't even say the word without getting paranoid.

Sea monsters are especially bad for me because I can't swim.

None. It's pretty hard to be afraid of something that doesn't exist.

Need to add "Human Monsters". Serial killers, rapists and cannibals and such.

House and Supernatural as a kid... I'm not really "scared" of monsters now.

I'm the same as Luigison. Fear in "monsters" always seemed really irrational to me. That said, I think I spooked myself into "what if"s about Dracula once or twice.
That was a joke.

Don't forget Sea Devils or Silurians. Definately don't forget Ice Warriors.

I was never scared of monsters as a child, but I do love zombies.
