I hate the sight of rotting dead people. Dead people are OK, but rotting dead people are less okay. I hate the sight of maggots/worms even more. I've can handle them better than I used to, but I was freaked out by even the centipede things in AOTC the first few times I watched it. Wormy things crawling out of rotting dead people is a terrible combination and I have trouble stomaching that kind of thing.

I'm sure it isn't an unusual repulsion that I have, but that kind of thing wrecks my enjoyment of movies. Even reading about writhing, slimy slugs makes me feel slightly sick. However, it isn't really a phobia. I do have a slight fear of stepping on slimy, squiggly things in places like gardens, but I'm not afraid of seeing such things on screen.
