Wow,

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one afraid of getting burnt alive on a table.

Yeah, I agree with "losing the kids" as being the SCARIEST thing I can think of. It seems like such an unnatural phenomenon...

Some great movie mentions, as well!

When I was a kid, I was afraid of large spaces (churches, business buildings, etc.) It wasn't the buildings themselves. I had this nagging feeling that I wasn't quite tethered to the ground, and if I let go of, say, a church pew, I would be swept up into the sky. When I would walk into a place with high ceilings, I would hang on for dear life!

Not exactly stable, huh?
