Things that freaked H. P. Lovecraft out:

Geometry
Stars
Cool air
Subways
Old houses
Corners of rooms
Violin music
Flute music
The very concept of dreams
Realistic paintings

It would be easier to list the things that didn't freak Howard out.

On the Creation of N*ggers

When, long ago, the Gods created Earth, In Jove's fair image Man was shap'd at birth. The beasts for lesser parts were next design'd; Yet were they too remote from humankind. To fill this gap, and join the rest to man, Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan. A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure, Fill'd it with vice, and call'd the thing a N*GGER.

H.P.LOVECRAFT.
