** Maximilian Dood has a rather understandable case of arachnophobia, since he suffered a near-fatal black widow bite when he was a child. He considers it partially responsible for his general distaste for Franchise/SpiderMan.

Daylight Horror is no longer a trope, don't link it anywhere.


* Joel of ''WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}'' has had a lifelong fear of aliens, dating back to an incident as a child where he and a huge crowd saw an erratically-moving orange UFO appear in in the sky [[DaylightHorror in broad daylight]] before vanishing. While he's prone to making fun of the horror games he plays, he gets pretty darn antsy and panicked during playthroughs of games like ''VideoGame/SignalSimulator'', where the sudden appearance of aliens is a persistent threat [[NothingIsScarier that leaves him really paranoid]].

* LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} is afraid of the ocean, particularly the idea that there might be something lurking in the depths ([[ThreateningShark especially sharks]]). Most of his playthroughs of oceanic games like ''Depth'', ''Raft'', and ''Subnautica'' have 'F*** THE OCEAN' and 'I HATE THE OCEAN' as refrains.

[[AC:Insects (entomophobia)]]
* Korone Inugami, of WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} GAMERS, is typically unflappable in the face of blood and gore (even reveling in it at times), but she is highly squicked out by bugs, insects, spiders, and other creepy crawlies. She found the Spider Mastermind's movements in ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' unsettling, had to frequently pause during a playthrough of ''VideoGame/MetalSlug 3'' to calm down while fighting through a tunnel filled with giant worms, frequently freaked out during ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard'' when confronted by the head-sized bugs in Marguerite's domain, and screamed constantly when confronted by the giant ants in ''VideoGame/EarthDefenseForce''.

* Creator/{{Nijisanji}} EN's Ike Eveland has an inexplicable fear of large bells of the sort that you'd find in a church steeple or clock tower. It's an unofficial but very serious rule of etiquette among his fan base that if you're watching a stream live and you know Ike will encounter a bell soon, you warn him about it.

* [[{{Waggle}} Motion Controls]] are this for poor Shane on [[WebVideo/{{Rerez}} Just Bad Games]]. Often just the discovery of them will take him from being cautiously optimistic about a game that "doesn't sound so bad" to screaming in anger, frustration, and fear. In fact, while playing ''VideoGame/IndianaJonesAndTheStaffOfKings'', they actually quote the original line almost verbatim with "Motion controls... why'd it have to be motion controls?!"

* Pizza Face from ''Toys/TheGrosseryGang'' is crippled by his fear of heights, which he learns he has during a mountain expedition. It was first an internal fear that he wasn't recognizing, but when he fully becomes aware of it, he's in such fear that he somehow goes ''naked'' from it.

* This is one of, if not the only thing that would scare ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'''s Sora Tokino in horror games. She had a notorious reputation for being completely unfazed by horror games, but if worms are involved, expect her to react with StunnedSilence.
