thx for ur answers josef_

but is there any certain time when to use one of that vocabs (in what situation)

is there kind of "level of fear"?

[Joe]

The Fear Index (strongest at bottom)

scared (adj)
afraid (adj)
terrified (adj)

Horrified is not included because its meaning is closer to "shocked", not "afraid".

to scare (Spiders scare me.)
to fear (I fear spiders.)
to terrify (Spiders terrify me.)
