That would be the 'Uncanny Valley' effect.

The theory holds that when robots and other facsimiles of humans look and act almost like actual humans, it causes a response of revulsion among human observers.

Spiders big time although it has gotten better over the years but not much. I was deighted when I realised I could point out a spider to my previous dog and he would eat it for me
the only trouble started when it was a really big house spider and I was screaming so much he ran over to see what the problem was and spit the half mangled spider out at my feet... I nearly passed out lol:o

The only bad thing about living in Australia is that it has the largest percentage of poisonous creatures, spiders, snakes, jellyfish, etc, luckily our spiders aren't overly big, but they are common, very, very common...

Death. Thats it. That is what im purely afraid of. I know its inevitable but i still fear it with my whole being. it started when i was 13 and i had to go 9 funerals in a row in one week.I started getting panic attacks then. Then it got worse when i was 14 and became a type 1 diabetic. I didnt find out untill 2 yrs ago that while i was being rushed to the hospital in an ambulence blacking in and out that my organs were failing and almost fell into a coma. I dont know why the panic attacks still come though. ill be playing video games or just watching tv and death just comes into my mind outta no where and its just a horrible feeling

I know the feeling, its like an inner cold that chills you to the bone and paralyzes you with fear until you are able to shake it off and even that sometimes doesn't work... I get it most nights before I go to bed.
lol, I've had this fear since birth, I remember my mum staying up with me as a toddler in the middle of the night trying to comfort me as I was in fits of fear over the thought of death. It never really goes and it never really will, It has shaped my entire life, I try to use it to help me, (motivation to do stuff and "carpe diem"
but that doesn't always work...You're not alone mate.

Lets see, my greatest fear would be heights. It's funny, my gf is the complete opposite. xD Next would be vacuum cleaners. >.> One broke by my ear when I was 2, and ever since I have been afraid of them. Everyone used to make fun of me because of this. Next are spiders and insects. I'm afraid of most of them, but not all insects. And lastly, i'm afraid of giving speeches or talking in front of a crowd. You could imagine how scared and nervous I get before giving a presentation for college. >.>
