No, not steamrollers.

My wife is terrified of escalators, that a shoelace will snag and it will pull her down and grind her up.
When I was a youngling, one of my father's co-worker had this happen to a daughter. She was ~5 years old, and her shoe caught in the side of the escalator. Try as she might her Mom could not free her foot by the time she reached the top. Metal vs small child's toes... the outcome was tragic.

I don't mean the reasonable fear of walking alongside a moving steamroller and tripping in front of it. I mean living in terror of one waiting for you outside your house, or coming through the walls in your bedroom.
Just wondering. This sinus medicine is kicking up some peculiar childhood memories.
Nope! :D That's pretty darn funny though.

I take it that you were a very impressionable youth.
This made me think of the scene near the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit where the bad guy gets slowly squashed by the steamroller.
There are clues throughout the movie that he is a toon, (and so he won't be killed horribly by the event) but if you're a little kid watching, it's easy to miss them.
It made me think of the scene at the beginning of Maximum Overdrive, where the little league baseball player gets run down by a steamroller. When they originally filmed it, they made the dummy's head into a big bag of blood. They thought it was just gonna break open and the blood would roll onto the roller, but the head exploded instead. The rating board told them they had to edit out the exploding head if they didn't want to get an X rating.

Never saw that one, though I remember seeing trailers for it on TV, as a kid. The goblin-faced truck, especially.
The only movie based on a Stephen King book that actually scared me was Pet Semetary.
Most of the others were really bad, especially Sleepwalkers. I need to summon Vomit Guy for that one.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Hey!
Movie plot spoiler:This is a spoiler, such as revealing who really did frame Roger Rabbit.
Spoiler that, please!
:P

Oh god. Please tell me she didn't lose her foot. Or worse.

Oops!
When I was a little kid I was terrified of elevators for a while because I mispronounced it as alligators and associated it with the animal.

I was terrified of rhinoceroses. I still am, but that's a pretty rational fear. If a rhino decides he doesn't like you, that's several tons of horned and armored pain that can outrun you, can't be killed or stopped short of a very high-powered and specialized rifle, and is not bothered by the fact that you might be in a car or behind a wall.
