FEAR

To Know Fear

“There are moments when, even to the sober eye of Reason, the world of our sad Humanity may assume the semblance of a Hell — but the imagination of man is no Carathis, to explore with impunity its every cavern. Alas! the grim legion of sepulchral terrors cannot be regarded as altogether fanciful — but, like the Demons in whose company Afrasiab made his voyage down the Oxus, they must sleep, or they will devour us — they must be suffered to slumber, or we perish.” Edgar Allan Poe

“Such is the nature of our fears. From the dawn of awakening of the human mind at birth, we perceive that which we call fear. Fear of loss, fear of abandonment, fear of hurt. Many are the names of fear. Though none seem so real as those which suffer the child – those childhood Fears. Some call them Night Terrors, brought about by feelings and insecurities. Many are created by percieved monsters under the bed or in the closet. But most important is that the childhood Fears occupie a special place in our minds and memories for the rest of our lives.” Dr. Tim McGuinness

For many fear can be an exhilerating experience, full of adventure. For others, the cause of hiding under the bed. Regardless of which extreme you fall into – scary movies and images can be fun.

It’s for this reason that we present ChildhoodFEAR.com A unique exploration into the imagery of horror, the supernaturer, and the just scary as hell!

We hope you enjoy!

The endless cycle of idea and action,
Endless invention, endless experiment,
Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;
Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;
Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,
All our ignorance brings us nearer to death (more…)

The Tyrrany Of The Advancing Red Death

THE “Red Death” had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal — the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet (more…)

A Question That Sometimes Drives Me Hazy: Am I Or Are The Others Crazy?

Posted by Daughter Of Darkness on Nov 24, 2011 in Childhood Fear, Just People, Mad Scientist, The Insane | 0 comments

Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect. (more…)
