Okay so let me just explain what makes Brickley so bad. It's the filth, the ring of filth around where it contacts the water makes it look like it's rotting and polluting the water around it.

[@IPGshair]

yes! oh god brickley completely terrifies me. a picture of just his face makes him look funny and goofy but zoom out to see that the sculpture is partly submerged with those water scum rings on it makes him seem menacing, i hate it

[@bobthechunkychicken8025]

Seriously I’m dumb founded seeing people scared of a fuckin goofy ass LEGO figure I mean I get that part about the “rotting effect” that’s gross but how are people fucking scared of lego

[@IPGshair]

@@bobthechunkychicken8025 tbh i totally get what youre saying and the hilarity of it but the absolute Dread and Unnerving feelings i got while seeing it in person is telling me "RUN BITCH". Like i couldn't even get close to the railing in front of it and i think my knees even started to shake getting vaguely near it To me the Horror is like i feel like its gonna fucking move, jump out of the water and attack me. Like I'm just thinking "whats under the water?! WHATS UNDER THE WATER?!?! WHATS HIDING UNDER THE FUCKING WATER???!!!!" Its the complete Terror of not knowing whats hiding under the murky water and fearing itll jump out and attack me. And now to share a personal story probably explaning my fear. I remember as a kid i went to a forest preserve and there was a fish tank installed in the wall of a building there that was extremely murky and filled with kelp and random garbage. I distinctly remember there being an old typewriter and a little tricycle in there. (It was there to get people to stop littering btw) And i was fucking TERRIFIED of it. Like i was terrified of a dark fish tank with an old typewriter and a metal tricycle! Theres a little suv sized pond near my house and I'm terrified of it cause its all green and algae infested i hate it

[@the98liner]

@@bobthechunkychicken8025 I don't think it's just the lego itself. It's how the rotting effect, murky water, and Brickley's big size and partially submerged body all come together to give that creepy feeling. But honestly, I think usually dark/murky waters are one of the biggest contributing factors in submechanophobia. I'd think that Brickley would be much less scary if he was displayed on land.

[@ajparedes79]

For me one of the scariest things with my submechaniphobia is when i can see the parts that have been underwater and see what the water has done. Like barnacles, discoloration, stuff like that. And then also imagining whats under there with the object. Creepy.

[@YourWaywardDestiny]

As a kid, I was swimming in a lake and my cousin pushed me under a floating dock. I had to grab the sides of it to get out from under it because I couldn't see the place I had managed to get dunked through because it was a bit dark and the mud had been stirred up so much from our playing. I saw EVERYHTING there and had to put my hands on it. I thought I was going to die.

[@evevespera9896]

[@Dargonhuman]

Yea, my discomfort stems more from the old, broken and/or decaying aspect of abandoned things more than the underwater part - though for some reason being underwater does make it more unsettling. I also have a thing about eyes that glow or are obscured (i.e. milky cataracts on zombies), so the Flotsam, Jetsam and Tick Tock ones really got to me because of that, and that angler fish can go f- itself. I can't say I have submechanophobia per se as most of the other submerged animatronics didn't bother me at all, it's just the ones with glowing eyes or hinted at being decayed that did.

[@mistahchad220]

I gotta ask, as someone who can /kinda/ understand the horror of being stuck in a place you aren't allowed in (but doesn't have submechanophobia)-- what makes being in the water with automated things particularly terrifying to you? My intent isn't to make fun of anyone, nor make a mockery of the fear, I just want to try and understand where it stems from. I imagine it can be several factors, and it's not the same for everyone?

[@brianaallbright3525]

@@mistahchad220 totally valid question. I have submechanophobia to a moderate degree, and honestly couldn’t tell you what about man made things underwater is scary. Even watching documentaries of sunken wrecks like the Titanic, I get shivers and have to turn away whenever they show things under the water. There’s just some irrational part of me that is absolutely terrified of it. And don’t get me wrong, I love swimming, and natural formations under water don’t scare me at all. It’s a weird thing, but I’m so happy it doesn’t keep me from swimming and stuff 😂

[@Spider_Mike023]

@@mistahchad220 can be diff for many people. For me it’s the sense of wrong essentially. I’m afraid of everything about water, oceans, sea creatures in general on top of automated things. It’s the idea of “I’m not made for this environment, it’s not my domain.” Just like birds rule the sky, sharks and fish rule the ocean, we humans have the land. I’m essentially free game to everything down there, and at a significant disadvantage being in water overall and refuse to go in water (unless up to knees-ish.) so with this fear on top of automated machines that could tower over me, overpower me with the sheer force of hydraulics and compressors, designs that can be purposefully frightening or just uncanny, and possible electricity mixed with water it just sends so many nope signals. Hard to describe honestly which is why a part of me is also very interested in these things like you lol. Idk if that helps but I tried a bit haha.

i definitely have this, it all kinda started in the finding nemo ride at disneyland with the angler fish, something about when it’s being lit up in just an empty pool freaks me out, and the light is bright enough to see the wall behind it in the water which is completely blank white, it’s super eerie to me and i can’t describe the full on feeling i get from it

[@gbird.]

Its so weird we all feel this way. Younger me thought it was a super weird thing to have but im (somewhat) glad to see its kinda common

[@AdaylnTheLifeOf]

Yuuup mine was the Jaws ride at universal studios, when the shark came out of the water at the boat. Brickly mildly unnerves me when I walk by him, more so at night.

Most of the choices on this list aren’t very scary, but GOSH DARN! That Anglerfish, man! I remember riding this for the first time and getting freaked out! I know it’s part of the movie, but I did not expect this type of scare in a ride that’s otherwise family friendly.

[@mateocruz7352]

I would get scared if they made Bruce the shark as an animatronic I would think that Bruce might eat me and the people that are on finding nemo like um you know that part where Bruce almost ate marlin and dory yeah I got so scared of that part

[@waffleauflauf4213]

Is it weird that, as a young kid, the anglerfish was my favourite part of the movie? I ended up doing a presentation on them in the 3rd grade when most others did presentations on whales, dolphins, and more common (less freaky looking) fish. I still love them as an adult, but it certainly gave me a few weird looks as a kid, lol. :)

[@stelomation]

@@waffleauflauf4213 I mean I guess if I say an anglerfish in real life I wouldn't be as freaked out because from what I understand they are pretty small and I guess harmless to people? Not that we'd be able to interact with them anyway since they live in the deepest crevices of the ocean. But still, the way they built this creature in the ride itself freaks me the f*** out!

[@BrightBlueInk]

I remember there was a story, I think in a commentary track on the DVDs, that enough test audiences found the anglerfish so terrifying that the creators were worried they were going to have to remove the scene. But then a nerdy kid in one of the test audiences defended it by saying they shouldn't have to downplay how terrifying nature can be, so they got to leave it in. (Might not be 100% correct, it's been a while since I've watched this.)

[@mateocruz7352]

That's what I was talking about

[@danisarcher13]

i recently watched a film on disney+ called “one day at disney” and there was a segment on the people who’s job is to check the animatronics on nemo submarine voyage. i couldn’t believe how they could just swim with the angler fish and divers! that would freak me right out!

Fun fact: the diver unit is housed in the same warehouse that holds both The World of Color (designing, maintenance, equipment, etc) and the Carsland characters. We were told if we were to ever use the showers there, do NOT use the soap left in there as it is specifically for the diving suits and will stain the skin.

[@goldie2218]

At my zoo where I live they have a dinosaur experience that comes and goes and my mom took me and made me stand in front of the trex animatronic and I was so scared that it would eat me.

[@spindleclown]

This is a small detail, but thank you SO much for specifying that it's props as well, not just animatronics; it's "objects". I've seen so many submechanophobia posts labeled as animatronics when they're statues or structures. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone get it right.

Anyone else think those Flotsam and Jetsam floats are legitimately terrifying? They should have been easily in the top 3 on this list

[@breannagardner8091]

The part that makes them horrifying is knowing one of them capsized!!!! I’d hate to be the driver, and I’d cry if it capsized. They should be higher for sure, and monstro a bit lower. True story - the angler is what made me realize I hated underwater animatronics/sculptures. I went on it once when it opened, saw that thing, realized it was a physical figure underwater a few feet from me, and I’ve never been on it since.

[@scrumpcity]

flotsam and jetsam are absolutely awesome!! as characters they deserve so much more recognition and they definitely deserved to be higher up on this list. they’re terrifying and cool all at the same time!

[@1chiZul]

I agree! They are my absolute favorite henchmen ever! And i dont know if disney has officially licensed plushies of them. (If they do i need them in my possession immediately) and they do deserve a lot more recognition. They are probably the most badass disney henchmen and it made me kinda sad when they died after watching the movie recently. I felt bad for ursula because jetsam and flotsam were the only companions she had out wherever she was.

This is what my Norwegian Husband told me about the 2nd Nokken from 17:18 in the video. The thing you claim to be a second Nøkken is probably a troll, as Nøkken are found exclusively residing in lakes and never mentioned as being remotely rock like, since its on land next to the river and made of Rock. Trolls on the other hand where supposed to have Rock, bark and sometimes leathery skin, sometimes with plants growing on them. Poking its head out of a cave opening during daytime is slightly strange though since they have to avoid daylight.

I have only a cursory knowledge of Norwegian folklore, but I didn't think that was a Nøkken. I also wonder if he said it incorrectly?
