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)

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.

LOL I was gonna say!

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*

I'm not doing this right am I

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

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

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.

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

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://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.
