Scary English Idioms and Expressions - HALLOWEEN LESSON

Join my British Pronunciation Course: www.etjenglish.com
Happy Halloween! Here is my list of words and idioms you can use to express your feeling of being scared/frightened. Give me some examples in the comments below of a time you were really scared (try to use the new vocabulary or idioms I've taught you).
Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well (or even an English accent at all!)... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP and want to speak it clearly.

    I shake like a leaf when I see a pic of heights as I am terrified of heights. I felt petrified when I got pierced for the first time. But it turned out almost painless. And I can’t stand watching horror movies with these jump scares because I don’t like feeling horrified

    Dear Elliot, thank you so much for your channel. Your videos has been such a great source to teach my students how to improve their pronunciation skills and to explain and understand, in a clearer way, how british people speak and uses some phonemic phenomena (and to use and expand their vocabulary). In this pandemic year, from home working, you have been an interesting, helpful source. Again, thank you, and best regards from Chile.
