Do You Suffer From Apocolocynposis?
In case you're not sure, let me explain. Apocolocynposis is the fear of turning into a pumpkin. That's right. Turning Into A Pumpkin. So if you're hiding in your house, jumping at the sight of anything round and orange, fearing Halloween and midnight, not sleeping lest you awake a pumpkin--you now have a name for your pitiful condition.
Are there really possibly enough people with such a phobia that there's actually a name for it?? How is that possible?

arachibutyrophobisis the fear of getting peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth. Pteronophobia is the fear of getting tickled by a feather. (I learned those from my kid's planner.) pretty stange.
