We are in October, and there has been a definite change in the air. The days are getting shorter. Pumpkin Spice is back on our shelves, and people across the world are getting ready for Halloween.

With the season of the witch getting nearer, more and more people are buying costumes and prepping their houses, waiting for ghosts and ghouls and zombies to come knocking on their door.

But like us all, the Superstars of the WWE aren't immune to being afraid, with some of them admitting to having phobias against the most mundane of items.

Here are 5 WWE Superstars and the phobias they deal with.

#5 R-Truth - Cats

R-Truth is one of the wackiest characters in WWE history, with his zany Shenanigans being seen each week on SmackDown Live.

And whilst Truth is no stranger to facing opponents much bigger than him, he is afraid of something, much much smaller, cats.

This was revealed during an episode of Total Divas, which saw the former US Champion be un-invited to a party by Natalya, with the Canadian being the company's resident cat lady.

According to Truth, this fear developed when he was attacked by some cats as a child. Meow!

#4 Karl Anderson - Elevators

The Club brother is known for his dominance inside the ring, and this is perhaps why the idea of being confined in a small elevator causes him to terror.

Speaking to WWE, the former Tag Champion said how his fear started whilst he was performing in Japan, and that anything from an elevator moving to slow, or not opening the doors immediately causes him to freak.

Anderson also said how Luke Gallows knows of the fear and isn't afraid (pun intended) to take advantage of it.

KA: I despise elevators.

LG: I’ll just jump up and down on the elevator a little bit every once and while."

#3 Randy Orton - Spiders

If you've followed Randy Orton's career in WWE, you'll know how dangerous he can be.

From DDT'ing his opponent's wife, to burning Bray Wyatt's compound to the ground, the superstars of SmackDown Live know not to mess with the Viper.

Yet it is Spiders that leave Orton defenceless. The Viper hasn't said too much about the fear, other than he has had more than a few horrific experiences with Spiders in hotel rooms, that certainly got easier when he received his own private tour bus.

#2 Jeff Hardy - Snakes

Hardy has taken steps to battle his fear.

The Charismatic Enigma is known for flying through the air on a weekly basis, but it is our no-legged friends that slither that are able to ground him.

Jeff admitted to the fear, saying "They are all around by my house. When I’m weeding the pond, I see water moccasins all the time. It freaks me out."

However, Hardy has said he-has tried to get past the Phobia, with the help of his daughter, who loves them.

Perhaps this is why the Viper Randy Orton had the upper hand going into their brutal match at Hell In A Cell.

#1 The Undertaker - Cucumbers

The deadman faces his greatest enemy.

The Phenom, the Demon of Death Valley, the Undertaker is one of the most imposing stars in wrestling ever.

So it's hard to imagine that anything could make him afraid, and yet, it is the simple cucumber that has the former World Champion quaking in his black boots.

As someone who has rarely spoken out of character, the Deadman has never revealed where this Phobia came from, but it is known that Owen Hart often used it to his advantage when ribbing.

So if Triple H wants a guaranteed victory in their final encounter at WWE Super Show-Down, he knows what to do.
