Do you have any horror movies that do your head in at night?

Paranormal activity, If you don't show me anything I can't punch it in the face.

Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack would always leave me more spooked than any horror movie ever could.

My wife had exactly that reaction to BWP when we watched it. It was her fault for acting tough, wanting to watch horror movies to impress me, but I found it endearing. We ended up watching Halloweentown at 2am because she couldn't sleep.

first for sneed

do your head in

OI GOVNA

Why?

>Black Sabbath (1963)

I looked this up on youtube and watched the lady get haunted by the dead lady. Pretty good suspense when she's going back and forth in her apartment until she finally sees her. if the mask were a little more realistic I think the horror would work better, but I see how this freaked you out as a kid. Honestly it was more terrifying before they showed the monster, but that's almost always the case.

Full movie on youtube. The haunting grandma part is the final story.

I have zero superstition. I have zero fear of the dark and can calmly walk around in the woods at night without a flashlight. I watch horror movies because the story is often more unpredictable than other genres, I haven't been scared by one since I was a kid.

you could call it some internet tough guy act but it's genuinely depressing to look around and see no magic in the world, scary or otherwise. if I saw a monster or an alien or a cryptid or a portal or a ghost, I would sprint toward it to confirm that I was wrong about reality.

I know it's cringe but Hereditary spooked me good when I first watched it.

It's probably the best horror movie in the last 20 years IMO. The ending is perfect and creepy as fuck. It's one of the few horror movies that doesn't suck shit past the halfway point (IE Insidious). Speaking of Insidious, remember the beginning scenes in that movie where you can hear something gnawing on bone or something in the darkness (I think in the attic). That shit was professionally done horror, then they went to the spirit realm to defeat a lame monster villain lmao.

Same. I went ghost hunting and tried my best to do everything to rile up the ghosts lol. Standing in "haunted" jail cells and all that nonsense. In the dark. Alone (because no one else wanted to volunteer to be bait). I'd love to believe in the supernatural, but so far, this world hasn't shown that to me either.

I don't remember anything about Hereditary other than That Part and me trying to figure out what ethnicity Nat Wolff is b/c he did not look like their son

I live in rural Montana and transient methheads kind of hit a sore spot I suppose.

Hereditary was the only amazing horror movie of the 2010s

But to answer the question. I saw the Exorcist when I was 14 and the idea of being possessed stayed in my head for like a year until I just got over it

I really liked under the skin, the endless, and beyond the black rainbow but these are all sci-fi horror so the entertainment value doesn't really rely on the horror aspect the way it does with hereditary.

Not horror movies but true crime documentaries. Especially if they are about serial killers.

I still get spooked by little ghost bitches that look like this

I like Hereditary too but you're exaggerating greatly. Watch more horror movies. There's no shortage of good ones especially from the previous century.

So, list some that are good. Most horror movies since 2000 have disappointed me.

Anything by Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava or Dario Argento.
Also Demons 1 & 2 by Lamberto Bava.

Thank you for the recommendations, anon. I'm unfamiliar with these names, so I'm excited.

When it comes to Argento it's generally agreed upon that his golden age ended with the release of Opera (1985) so you should stop there although I hear Dark Glasses is alright but definitely stay away from Mother of Tears and Dracula 3D.

A JAPANESE GIRL!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

I see how this freaked you out as a kid

I was 45 when I saw it you young clown. I only watched it because I'd just then found out that's where the band got their name from and only watched it for trivia's sake. I figured it would be like some cheezy Vincent Price "horror" movie.

i saw blair witch at sundance and it was so scary

hanging out at sundance

see missing merson posters with the 3 kids from the movie on them

no idea it was just guerilla marketing

the movie starts, people start whispering Wait aren't those the kids from the movie?

fully buy into the illusion

movie ends, half the audience is in tears

lights come on, the actors walk in front of the screen to do a Q&A

everyone is like holy shit

i've never had another movie experience like this it was unforgettable

IM
SO
SCARED

>fully buy into the illusion

>movie ends, half the audience is in tears

Fucking retards. Were millennials really this stupid? This is "19th century boomers fled out of the theater in terror at trains" tier embarrassing shit

Thank you for the information and warning lol.

I was 45 when I saw it you young clown

Hey man I'm 33, my bad. That's kinda funny though I laughed when you said you were 45.

I only watched it because I'd just then found out that's where the band got their name from and only watched it for trivia's sake. I figured it would be like some cheezy Vincent Price "horror" movie.

I get that lol, but I'm shocked the mask bothered you so much. The atmosphere is great while she's wandering the apartment, shutting off the leaky drains. That part had me on edge.

Yes, everyone was that stupid. No one at that time understood that camcorder batteries only lasted about 20 minutes, and were about $100 apiece; so it would have been impossible for them to head out into the woods for weeks with untold sacks of batteries to get the requisite footage.

This would've been Gen Xers
Millennials were children when this movie came out

this post reeks of seventeenism
such a cringe combination of cynicism and naivety
you'll never be able to retire bro lmao

It's not that the mask bothered me so much. I just cannot shake that image of her peering around the door or glaring up from the bed, all ghoulish like. I close my eyes in the dark in bed and I see it to this day--and I'm now in my 50s (,young clown).

I close my eyes in the dark in bed and I see it to this day

Fuck man that sucks. You could probably take her down with a single punch or maybe some holy water in a super soaker?

What's weird is that, when I WAS a kid, I heard a radio commerical for Day of the Dead (1985), and the voiceover was like:

If the dead come back to life, what are they going to eat? ... BRAINS!

And it terrified me for years--just the fucking radio ad.
So I had to rationalize it like in the 5 stages of grief; I would say to myself:

Of course, if the dead come back to life they have to eat SOMEthing; why wouldn't it be brains? Niggas gotta eat, right?

To no avail. That radio commercial haunted me for years.
Never did see the movie.

Huh, interesting. Thanks for that. Love reading stuff like this.

I still check my closet for Micheal Myers before going to sleep

? ? ?

The worst part is that a fully grown man wouldn’t even fit in my closet
