Actually I think Mr. Que has the edge there...

Oh man, 0.5/10. Sorry bros.

(the music alone scares me, never mind the subject matter)

I can't watch youtube links during this hour as I am at a library. Also, no images plz. Shld have specified. Sorry.

Fear inspired by me realizing I am bad at setting up ground rules: 3/10, so good effort.

Tuomas: 2/10.

We are all going to die! (eventually)

Stan: 6/10.

One school day, a boy named Tom was sitting in class and doing math. It was six more minutes until after school. As he was doing his homework, something caught his eye.
His desk was next to the window, and he turned and stared outside. It looked liked a picture. When it was home time at the school, he ran to the spot where he saw it. He ran fast so that no one else could grab it.
He picked it up and smiled. It had a picture of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had a dress with tights on and red shoes, and her hand was formed into a peace sign.
She was so beautiful he wanted to meet her, so he ran all over the school and asked everyone if they knew her or have ever seen her before. But everyone he asked said "no." He was devastated.
When he was home, he asked his older sister if she knew the girl, but unfortunately she also said "no." It was very late, so Tom walked up the stairs, placed the picture on his bedside table and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night Tom was awakened by a tap on his window. It was like a nail tapping. He got scared. After the tapping he heard a giggle. He saw a shadow near his window, so he got out of his bed, walked toward his window, opened it up and followed the giggling. By the time he reached it, it was gone.
The next day again he asked his neighbors if they knew her. Everybody said, "Sorry, no." When his mother came home he even asked her if she knew her. She said "no." He went to his room, placed the picture on his desk and fell asleep.
Once again he was awakened by a tapping. He took the picture and followed the giggling. He walked across the road, when suddenly he got hit by a car. He was dead with the picture in his hand.
The driver got out of the car and tried to help him, but it was too late. Suddenly he saw the picture and picked it up. He smiled. He saw a cute girl holding up three fingers.

Library parking lots are the number 1 rape locations.

wow dude

Stan: 5/10, I can't tell if lemur eater is for real or not.

Dom: 3/10, that story is cute.

Stan, 0/10 on the rape tip. Most rapes occur in people's homes, tho a number do occur on the streets/parking lots, and the other major place is in cars. So if you don't leave your house, don't get into your car, and don't stay inside your house, you have low chances of getting raped.

Why LIBRARY parking lots Stan? Bcz I am at a library? Surprisingly, this one lacks a parking lot!

Yep, I was trying to scare you. But I see (on the secret webcam we're all watching) that it didn't scare you at all. Nice clothes by the way. :-)

Wait a minute! If I suck at scaring girls, why am I still single? I always thought that was it, but now :-(((

you're scaring me

Meeting you in person: 6/10???? I don't know!

Saying you have a webcam stalker thing: 1/10 as it makes no sense and since you complemented my schlubby oversized pilling sweater.

Unfortunately most girls require other qualities too besides "not scary".

"good at masturbating"

Tuomas: 2/10.

Mr. Que: 3/10.

But we don't know what you're scared of!

(There's gluten in the air! Stop breathing or you'll have to sneeze!) (don't know about any allergies either)

Boo!

Stan: 4/10 on the lols, 0/10 on the scary.

not goodwin: 10/10! FUCK!

Dammit!

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Despite its short atmospheric half life of 7 years, methane has a global warming potential of 62 over 20 years and 21 over 100 years (IPCC, 1996; Berner and Berner, 1996; vanLoon and Duffy, 2000). The sudden release of large amounts of natural gas from methane clathrate deposits has been hypothesized as a cause of past and possibly future climate changes. Events possibly linked in this way are the Permian-Triassic extinction event, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.

Climate scientists such as James Hansen expect that methane clathrates in the permafrost regions will be released as a result of global warming, unleashing powerful feedback forces which may cause runaway climate change that cannot be controlled.

Recent research carried out in 2008 in the Siberian Arctic has shown millions of tons of methane being released with concentrations in some regions reaching up to 100 times above normal.

Pleasant Plains: 9/10, good job.

Library computer keyboards contain all kinds of filth/bacteria/viruses

Sorry, that was meant for later when you catch me watching you sleep while wearing your underwear!

Charlie: 5/10, I can only be afraid of global events I can't change for so long.

snoball: 2/10, duh.

Oh, believe you me. I have a LOT longer than 1 hour to scare you.

I thought that the present risk of infection would be scarier than that. I travelled on a bus today and I feel ill.

libcrypt not getting the rules: 6/10 as you're smart enough to figure out that I am temporally serious here

snoball: Everything is covered in everything.

So basically you're saying that I was travelling on a bus covered in poop?

i actually loved stanm's video and thought it wasnt v scary at all

snoball: yeah

Actually the bus was probably covered in pee.

I'm trying to scare you with the threats of scaring you later. This is kind of a meta-scare.

Your state has just voted and both evolutionism and all kinds of science will be abolished!

The next time you use a public restroom, when you're (ahem) halfway done, a clown will throw open the door and attempt to suffocate you with giant pieces of scrapey Styrofoam.

libcrypt, okay it gets a 6/10 but only bcz my paranoia knows no bounds. Average: 6/10. Median: 6/10. Moved: 6/10 for libcrypt.

Charlie: ack! 10/10!

StanM: 8/10 as it is UNLIKELY.

abbott this will scare you

http://www.flickr.com/photos/12673851@N06/1596894350/

Tuomas wtf I feel sick for having clicked on that. 3/10 since they are all idiots. 7/10 at your scruples.

Mandee: 4/10.

Library law enforcement officers are actually reading this thread and printing it out to put in your permanent secret file!

Stan: 0/10.

Librarians have better things to do.

dude plz do not hotlink to s70rmfr0n7

Yeah for real that was a punch in the gut, and the URL offers no clues.

I give up. Abbott is unscareable.

abbott why cant we post multimedia here, i have a nice soundclip of a 9 mile hole to hell in siberia

It would scare me if the librarians saw me and knew I'd lost some interlibrary loan books (I did) and started shaming me. That would be 10/10.

Hey, I only put that link there for comedy purposes.

Mandee, I just won't be able to access it. That clip is defs 9/10 even tho it's a hoax.

http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/chappellwilliamlast.htm

actually just about nothing scares me more than the thunder sound at the intro of coast to coast am w/ george noory... gaaaah

mumps: 9/10

Abbott, someone from Finland is communicating with you! (that's the scariest thing I can come up with :-) )

bahahaha

Finns: 4/10, based on the Finnish high school exchange student I knew.

here is the hole to hell if anyone wants to listen

it's creepy

Abbott it must scare you how persistent Stan is, he deserves a 9/10 for that.
Also, I heard that if he can’t scare someone via the internet, he does it later in person.

explain pls this "hole to hell"

i'm at work and can't do youtube/sound files

also what was tuomas's link? mods got to it before i could see (p.s. tho - i don't really want to open it but would rather have only a description pls)

thanx

someone sent in an audio clip to wack job radio show "coast to coast am" of sounds recorded from a 9-mile deep hole in siberia, depicting SPOOKSY SOUNDS OF PEOPLE SCREAMING IN HORROR AND WHAT NOT, but its fake

i miss art bell, george noory just aint the same

everyone you know is secretly judging you

it was a link to a white power site, i killed it without opening it so i dont know any more than that xpost to mark cl

It was some white power forums about white people.

Lamp: 7/10

abbott: you parents know everything that you've ever done

your

Mr. Que: 7/10, minus 3 bcz it's true.

Game's over: Charlie Rose wins with the clown thing, Tuomas gets Honorable Mention for most tasteless & revolting w/removed link.

Whenever you masturbate, if you listen closely, you can hear the screams of babies that never got to be born.

For everyone to rant and rave about slow walking people. Surely walking too slow must be illegal. And it is so annoying when we have places to go to and they walk in a line of about 5 people so there is no way for us to get through!

Note so that this group does not offend some members: this does not include people that are unable to walk quickly: such as the disabled/elderly/parents with children/children/pets/tortoises etc

Join this group if you hate people that takes ages at the ATM

Join this group if you hate slow people at the train station
http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=26453178151&ref=ts

And if there are any slow walkers on this group (which I am sure there are) let this video be a warning to you!

I did not create it but the person that did deserves a lot of credit. Absolutly brilliant!!

GET A MOVE ON!! SOME OF US HAVE PLACES TO GO AND THINGS TO DO!!

NOTE: I AM SICK OF ALL THE ADVERTISEMENT/SPAM THAT HAS NOW BEEN APPEARING ON A MUCH MORE FREQUENT BASIS. SO FROM NOW ANY ADVERTISEMENT/SPAM THAT IS NOT IN FACEBOOK/MYSPACE/BEBO/YOUTUBE/ETC WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT KICK FROM THE GROUP.

Also Racism, Sexism, Ageism, Religion, Sexuality, etc will not be tolerated

times up anyway

10/10, it is indeed scary, how time flies

Only when you're having fun...

Game's over: Charlie Rose wins with the clown thing

Yay!

I didnt play this bcz why would I ever want to scare Abbott <3

abbot do you know about infectious diseases?

or how your body is infested with billions of bacteria and the only thing keeping them from killing you is your immune system, which could fail for any number of reasons?

see also:

* smoking
* riding in a car
* hypertension
* doing it

this is why you should eat food whenever it falls on the ground.

Is it game over, cause I've got a good one.

i am writing a v short "paper" about a clinical case wherein a gentleman came to the hospital with an atypical presentation of C. perfringens myonecrosis of the shoulder. It could happen to you!

I'm way late for this, but Abbott: remember that gorilla who stared at you really intensely when you visited the zoo way back when?

that department of criminal justice site is absorbing... i can't stop reading about all these dudes on death row

and wtf at that dude with the hair. jesus.

gbx I reckon as long as I don't have to get an Ommaya reservoir as a result of some or another infectious disease, my immune system's still getting back-pats.

Those things have my favorite name ever. "Oh my! A reservoir!" It includes a genteel reaction to its scariness right in its name!

At over a foot in diameter, it’s the largest spider in the world. It is a member of the Huntsman Spider family (all of which are frighteningly large) which are found around the globe – from Japan to Africa, South America to Florida. They’re frequently housed in such exotic places as garages, woodsheds, or firewood piles.

When provoked, they will attack. And they have a ‘clinging reflex’ when surprised, which causes them to seize onto the offending entity. They also travel with incredible speed, and can cling to walls or ceilings just like their smaller counterparts. Which is why sometimes people wake up to see this:

FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCKASS

elmo fucking seriously

nice research tho

What in the hell is that.

I mean why did you do that?

other than to WIN for ALL TIME, which you did. God, it's worse than if you posted a harlequin baby or something.

elmo will you please xplain to Trayce what you did there and why?

there was a thread on banned books on which abbott revealed her long-standing horror at a specific image in some of the scary stories to tell in the dark series, which i posted here.

i'm sorry to have scared you, abbott! i was just doing my part for the thread. i'll try not to do it again.

Worst of all is it will just make everyone else roffle.

loooool thats not scary
lol xpost

No elmo you did a very good job! esp without like being like 'white power site isn't that hilarious scary?' or some rotten.com thing or such

why is that scary?

One cannot explain these things, only their reactions.

Yeah I can kind of understand why someone would find that scary, in that "woah wtf is that wait argh" way.

erm didn't i win, i got the 1st 10/10 from Abbott
Stan: 4/10 on the lols, 0/10 on the scary.

not goodwin: 10/10! FUCK!

i think he won

Okay you tie with Charlie and elmo wins for all time.

Oh man the artwork in that book is CREEPY.

bbbbut, i was 1st and i want a prize to cheer me up.
I'm watching Jaws btw.

Yeah a big portion of why that is scary is I first saw it at the highly terrifiable age of age 10.

What thread was that in btw?

I told you we had more than one hour to scare you...

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/121/awardil1.jpg

Where can I find the whole story? Also is it scary hour again?

im sure we all have our human-eye donkey in a stiletto, buried deep under layers of psychic protection

kicking and snorting

MS Paint is pretty scary, indeed. (xp)

Okay, sure, scary hour #2 starts now. No one can beat elmo tho.

libcrypt that is in fact your beloved PHOTOSHOP! Are you TERRIFIED???

this is not scary but the illustrator for that series used to back up my mom on guitar (pretty sure i have mentioned this before)

wtf's that Abbott?

That is your AWARD

oh wait http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5426/realawardtk2.jpg

LOL I was gonna say!

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/APG/925349~Footprints-Posters.jpg

well this has been fun

Hey do you know, when your dog is humping stuff? It's actually you it's thinking about.

Sarcasm: 0/10

Batty: 4/10

And actually he does not hump stuff, he masturbates with his own foot.

Obv the real version of that pic is too scary to show. (xps)

It was a gogortion foot.

yeah wait

that's better, thank you.
i have a treat coming...

When you die, your consciousness stays with your corpse. And so you spend the rest of eternity as a disembodied consciousness trapped inside a tiny coffin buried under the Earth.

ooooh 9/10

That's the one that keeps me up at night :/

The alternate version of that for me is: When they drop the nuclear bomb, and your sleeping body's shadow is burnt into your shadow for eternity, you are just that living, remembering, burnt shadow.

You're good at this! That first one has been a theme of some nightmares of mine before.

Sorry, when it's burnt into your sheets for eternity*

Pretend you're ten again Abbott.

i hope that worked.

Actually, that's more cute than scary :-/ xp to self

Hahaha n_g, 3/10 but 9/10 for awesome.

LJ that gets like a 1.5/10.

I'm not doing this right am I

Bugs aren't very scary to me, I am sorry.

phew!

well make the most of it as it'll be gone in a few hours.
that was a real ball ache taking a shot of tv and laptop in the dark with no flash. was worth it if you piss yourself with fear though...

"Each of these probabilities, by itself, is small. But taken together over a year's time, they add up to a cumulative probability which is no longer small ... Taken together over a century, they make nuclear war virtually inevitable."

^^actually scary, i should win

I kinda figured. Let's personalise this shit.

nm that probability thing gets 7/10

Building on Rent's point, the following site is some good reading: http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm

Eschatology is more interesting than scary.

It's some good reading! Not an actual submission.

But taken together over a year's time
^^actually scary, i should win

Thread title =
You have one hour to scare me!

It gets a 7/10 bcz it reminds me that I probably fucked up several major test questions regarding probability theory in my genetics class on Monday.

OK Abbott, here's a scenario. An invisible matter-destroying layer, centred around Earth, descends very very slowly from the atmosphere, consuming everything it touches. People scramble towards the centre of the earth as much as they can but it is all in vain. Yourself, you eventually see that the layer has got to within three feet of you, with no escape, and you jump up into it.

I want to make a film about that scenario.

I'm not really scared by that? I'm not scared bcz it seems highly improbable at best.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll114/SelinaAddison/Langoliers.jpg

<3

Every monster and ghost and everything else that's scary has just retired because of this...

I'm not really scared by that? I'm not scared bcz it seems highly improbable at best.

Abbot, you failed your genetics class.

No no you don't sit around a campfire at night and get scared at some rustling in the distance because you're afraid it's a hypothetical scenario in which your atmosphere is slowly contracting. Monsters, ghosts, you're still on!

Ack, Mordy, 8/10!

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/191/469307216_b9675bb84e_b.jpg

what about this jolly fellow?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/indigo1874/Blog/Pennywise.jpg

Batty: Ha! 0/10.

n_g: I never saw that one but photo gets 5/10.

Batty, he's still got a shadow of his head in the body!

Kids crack me up.

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r259/fidolatry/sewer_horse.jpg

Oh that's pretty good, 6/10.
Hour's over. Mordy gets the win.

Those kids are seconds from a good shoeing
