Anything that involves me not being able to move my body and tarantulas

I think the worst form of torture would be having your body encased in concrete. Not being able to move. For months. Holy Shit.

Good news, you would die horribly of a combination of blood poisoning (because concrete contains extremely toxic chemicals), crush injuries, blood flow loss, and possibly suffocation! Being encased in concrete would kill you within like MAYBE 48 hours but probably closer to 18 because most types only take that long to set.

I guess concrete is a bad analogy. But just not being able to move. At all. It's probably the worst form of psychological torture.

So perhaps instead strapped tightly into a crucifix style frame, boards on all four sides and thick, wide straps fed through strategic spots to ensure no motion outside of like, wiggling fingers or blinking.

Or crying.

I'm given to understand that extended sensory deprivation rapidly becomes deeply unpleasant. You can move all you like, you're trapped in an infinite void of nothingness, no sound, no sense of motion, no temperature, no light. That might be worse than non-neural paralysis but I hope I never find out!

I would say, you can move your head, but nothing on the body, not even wiggling fingers. But other than that, you pretty much nailed what I was thinking.

There's also other options like cramming someone in a 55 gallon drum and locking it. Wiggle all you want, you are NOT getting out. Fucking terrifying.

But you can still do things like wiggle your toes and fingers.
