    Yeah, horror writers usually scare easily, that’s where their ideas come from.

    For example, Stephan King is afraid of cars among other things, that’s where Christine and Maximum Overdrive comes from. (Ironically, he also almost died being struck by a car. I doubt that alleviated his fear.)

      cars are a bafflingly rare fear honestly, they’re 3-ton vehicles that regularly whoosh past people at high speeds and have no actual mechanism to prevent being driven by drunk people other than them not wanting to risk being arrested
