E.t. the extraterrestrial

Ever since I was a child, I've been extremely afraid of E.T. When I watched the movie I couldn't make it past the scene where he's hiding in the closet and he becomes startled. I can't over get the image of his neck growing and that scream he makes. When the movie came out, my friends had E.T. dolls and toys in their rooms and I would refuse to go in there. Now that I'm an adult, I'm still terrified of him. I tried watching the movie in order to face my fear, but I just can't do it. I can't understand why people thinks he's so adorable and lovable. He's hideous, his voice is awful, and his neck grows. I can't look at pictures of him, commercials about the tv showings of the movie, parodies of him, basically anything that involves E.T. I've also lost friends because of this fear, because they've used it to play tricks on me. This might be silly to some people, because he's not real and all but, is it normal to be afraid of E.T. after all these years? Is there anyone else out there who thinks he's scary?

  • hey i'm absolutely terrified of E.T. I don't mean I find him gross, I mean I couldn't even look at pictures of him without getting panicky and having to shut my eyes. BUT i sort of know why I'm scared, it's cos when we were little we had it on a dodgy video which would start right in teh middle of the woods with all the torches and FBI and him screaming. So i know why i'm terrified of him. I suggest trying to confront it, i've been watching bits here and there of teh film and making myself watch so i don't get so scared. it's an irrational and rational fear.

    I was terrified of him also. But not anymore, as an adult. I do think you have a good point, I just got over it somehow.
