E.T. scares the f*** out of me... by: Anonymous
I'm 18 and I feel the same way. Thats excactly what my family says when E.T. comes on... "Hey look E.T.!" Thats why I hate to go to Universal Studios. E.T. looks like a burnt jew from the holocaust/or a starved child. My uncle even denies the fear is real. If you look at me as a coward for this remember that I was gonna go to Armed Forces...

i'm 16 years old, and i am petrified of him, even when people imitate the finger, i shutter and my skin crawls. i went on the theme park ride in america and i had to make them stop it to get off i was that scared, i couldn't sleep for a month after that. i still can't think about it, it makes my skin crawl. i have make up that smells like the ride, and i can't wear it i'm that scared. i thought i was the only one. i have tried to make myself watch the film but i can't i dried last time i watched it and that was about a month ago, i was determined to get over him, but i can't.

ET is freakin scary by: Anonymous
ET the alien from Spielberg's film is the most revolting fucking thing I have ever seen. My mother made me sit on her lap and watch the film, and I am have been deathly afraid of ET ever since. I just tried watching some YOUTUBE clips of ET and still instinctively shrieked and recoiled in disgust and anger (I am now 23 years old). I can't stand its voice, its body shape, its turdy color or texture, its human eyes, its glowy finger, its bicycle riding.
Making progress?? by: Anonymous
The first time I watched E.T. and he was screaming in the cornfield, I thought I was scarred for life. I used to fast-forward through that part too. But I also loved the movie, the book adaptation of the screenplay, the theme park ride, and I had all the trading cards from the movie. But I could never bring myself to put up the one Universal Studios poster I had with this tiny little picture of him on it. It stayed in my closet.
I used to have INTENSE nightmares about E.T. that I'll never forget, and I still have an occasional creepy dream where he'll make an appearance (I'm now 23) but at the same time I was fascinated. Kinda like my shark and aquarium fear: gives me the creeps, but I can't look away.
PS - I actually had a dream last night where my mom baked cupcakes or muffins or something and E.T. came out of my closet and stole them. Much less scary than my childhood dreams of him, but still...eh.
cant stand him by: Sarah
Defiantly thought I was the only one scared of him. Creeps me out! I dont know how old I was when I saw the movie. I'm actually terrified.I have nightmares still of him, and im 18. I used to have bad night terrors of him in my room. my friends all think im crazy. They like to joke and speak like him. even thinking about it freaks me out. if im watching an old movie and an ET preview comes on I litterly hide behind a pillow and plug my ears. Most of the time i run out of the room and make someone else fast forward movie. So glad im not the only one.
I'm scared too! by: Becca
The movie came on when I was 5yrs old, my mom and cousin were watching it. I'm 24 now, when I was 5 I ran out of the room screaming, and whenever I see E.T on the T.V I scream, my mom will send me pics of him to joke around, and I will throw my cell phone and scream. I had a friend chase me around with an E.T piggybank and I had a panic attack! He is not cute, he looks like a little person who was in a serious burn accident -shivers- I've ran away from his picture and his voice many times. It sucks, but what can we do? I tried to get over it. But, eh..I just avoid him at all cost.

Fear of ET by: Kesh
Hey, your not alone!
I am almost 24 years old and I am petrified of aliens, especially ET! If I see a picture or hear anything from the movie I go cold and feel sick and feel the need to run away...generally freak out! I dont know how i got this fear. I do vaguely remember watching the movie a good few times before i was 9 but dont remember much of my past before then so perhaps i am relating it to something that happened around the time i used to watch it, or perhaps i just developed the fear randomly! Who knows!
Some of my friends still make jokes about it now and again...point the finger at me etc, but if you speak to them and tell them that it is a real phobia and that you are not kidding, your friends will respect it and not bring it up (if they can help themselves!)
So, dont worry, your not on your own. Just keep telling yourself what I have to keep telling myself - IT IS NOT REAL!!
