Some hairs do stand up from fear. An example is the 'hackles' that stand the hair erect on the back of dogs and other animals when they are ready to fight. When the skin tightens during an adrenalin rush, the hair appears to stand up at the roots, but this is hardly noticeable with the soft hair of most humans.
