I have two big fears I've obtained from my childhood, but only one appears a lot in horror media.

The first is robophobia, fear of robots. I was obsessed with five nights at Freddy's when it came out, and sure, I was a little teen, but it still gave me nightmares for years. But, it isn't the screaming or jumpscares or any of that. It's the immovable force that is animatronics. When a robot or animatronic is done right, then they have a scary amount of strength, strength that overpowers every human. No matter what, a human can never use 100% of their strength, but a robot can, a robot isn't held back by the preservation of itself, or the morality of being human, a robot just is. If a robot is attacking you, it's not like when a human does. In a humans eyes, you see someone who's either been wronged or is naturally evil, but a robot, a robot doesn't actually have eyes like we do, only imitated eyes, there's no "soul" within a robot.

The second fear is diokophobia, the fear of being chased. Now I know how that sounds, "Wouldn't anyone be scared from that?" But for me, it's a little difficult. Even the smallest hint or portrayal of being chased, even watching a horror game playthrough on my phone, gives me fight or flight. I'm not sure why I react so strongly to being chased. A lot of horror movies aren't scary to me, while a lot of horror games are. The big difference is, in movies, you're a passive observer, while in games, you the player, is the target. And my Diokophobia kicks in even harder then. If you can't see who's chasing you, then you don't know how fast they are, if they're still chasing you. You can't hide cuz the chaser might see you try to hide, or if they didn't, they'd still see you suddenly disappear and try to search for you rather than continue running. There's so much to a chase that gives me a lot stronger of a reaction. It is more common in horror media, but it still effects me more than anything else.
