Answer 3

Of course there is a term for it ...it is Thanatophobia. Give me the 10 points for knowing.

Necrophobia or thanatophobia is fear of death or dead things. The former term is derived from Greek nekros for "corpse" and suffix -phob- for "fear".
The latter term is derivied from Thanatos (θάνατος: "death") is the personification of death.

The usage differs, although in common speech the terms are used interchangeably.

Necrophobia is fear of death in general and things associated with it, e.g., of corpses, mummies, etc.

Thanatophobia does include but is not limited to the fear of personal death or dying.

Part eight of Anna Karenina contains through the character Levin some of Tolstoy's thoughts of thanatophobia.
