A ranking list like this on character deaths in horror franchises who “deserved better” lol. Like when someone you’re really hoping survives unfortunately doesn’t.
I don't know if you will like it but "Fortress" is in a schoolhouse and a cave it was made in 1985 it is a teacher in Australia her and the kids get kidnapped by guys in masks and put in a cave and escape and have to run and fight the kidnappers
I would love to see more horror take place in airports or other public transport places- I feel like that’s definitely an obscure location. And I completely agree with the woods, you can’t beat a horror movie that’s surrounded by trees and forest creatures
Cooties? All of us are Dead (not a movie, but still worth mentioning)? 90% of all King's Game clones? Honestly I find the school setting a bit overpopulated.
I feel like a tier list you could do are ranking kills in a franchise. Like nightmare on elm street has really creative kills so seeing your thoughts on those would be cool.
@@Brandon0844 like some top tier kills for me would be Tina, Debbie (cockroach kill cause of those practical effects), Dan (turned into a zombie motor cycle rider with amazing practical effects even with the cut content), the puppet kill cause oof ouch. Like there are more cause this franchise has sm creativity but some low kills would be Rod just got hung, the people who got stabbed with the glove stuff like that oh and the worst is the video game kill from Freddy’s dead.
@@Brandon0844 Tatums death is also one of my favorites same for Olivia I loved the whole “I’m standing in the closet” sequence then it just is a brutal attack ending with the room being decorated with blood and some intestinal fun💀
Other settings ideas: bars, clubs, & cantinas, like "From Dusk till Dawn" As someone who hates clubbing, being surrounded by drunk people while things are going down... horrible. Also an office setting 👀 like "Mayhem" or "The Belko Experiment", if I had to go up against coworkers... oof. Also the suburbs! Every time I see a movie take place in the suburbs I'm like... girl... your neighbors havnt called the police? They're like 10 feet away from you. Smh.
Would love to see a tier list with the most hated horror characters. Various levels of hatred. Also you could make it a love/hate list with some of the most loved & most hated
Love this! Forgive me if you've already done these (i haven't yet watched all your ranking lists, but i'm making my way through!), but here are a few ideas! 1. your personal favorite horror movie soundtracks 2. favorite background characters who should have been leads 3. favorite characters who didn't deserve to die 4. most satisfying deaths of unlikeable characters 5. ranking characters who made it to the end of a horror movie but should have died instead of someone else 6. ranking more obscure horror movie twists 7. best outside horrors (not centered around being inside a building or house... mostly shot outside) 8. best non-assault-based horrors (i'm so sick of r*pe revenge stories/movies where people are assaulted... ENOUGH ALREADY. we have to live it, stop making us suffer through re-living it as "entertainment"!! pick a different subject, damn!) 9. best non-horror horror movies (like "spencer", or "willy wonka", or "requiem for a dream", etc. not a horror movie, but TOTALLY a horror movie because of what it's actually about). 10. best fast-paced and/or slow-burn horror movies LOVE your videos!
I'm shocked you didn't include a "Car" setting! I Recently watched the movie "Alone" and OOF with my driving anxiety.... my hole was clenched throughout the whole movie! Driving while an accident happens or someone trying to run me off the road 👏 nightmare 👏
As someone with crippling anxiety, so many horror locations are a nightmare for me. Lol the only ones I’d be okay with would be store, mall, haunted house and school. Everything else I’m practically instantly dead or too creeped out to do anything helpful.
The woods, camping and farms are my favourite settings for horror movies, I think isolated locations are so much more horrifying cause it's harder to find help/resources
I think it would be fun to rank the outfit choices of characters in horror movies! Some outrageous choices come to mind like the girl in the opening scene of It Follows 😂
Would love to see a Tier list of your favorite horror actors/actresses. And maybe a tier list of ways people die in horror movies (like stabbing, shot, car crash, drowning, etc)
Asylum is similar to hospital.. especially when there's movies where conveniently there's no medical staff around while the victim is looking for help , i actually get annoyed now every time i see a hospital in horror movies. Even in the latest scream movie they pushed the hospital scenes 🙄.
@@Cajun_Lady504 I honestly don't know if it is currently on any streaming service. It was on one when I originally watched it, but I liked it so much I added the bluray to my collection. It is an exyremely good movie.
I’ve been watching your channel(s) for probably a decade at this point (since you were a fashion major and working at the CC) and it’s so awesome to see you flourish the way you have with this channel. I’m a lifelong horror fan as well,and your passion for the genre really comes through in every video.
it's just always gives me so much joy when i see that you uploaded a new tier ranking video. you are truly just my fav horror content creater and after a long day watching your videos is just the best thing ever so thank you
personally, i think ANY Horror setting can be good, whether it's been used many times or not--it all just comes down to the execution and how well they use that setting and really incorporate it into the story. Lovely video per usual Sarah!
School movies: The Faculty, Disturbing Behavior, Carrie of course, Prom Night, Black Christmas. Right off the top of my head, I'm sure there are a few more set on campuses, sororities, high schools. Love your tier lists!
Potentially a video that would need a spoiler alert but I think "Ranking Opening Deaths" would be such a fun tier list. Knowing which movies start with a bang would be awesome
I guess it could fits as a setting but I would love to see more Western Horror, I had a blast watching Bone Tomahawk but unfortunately not a lot of those out there.
The Blackcoat's Daughter is a great school horror film! Also that one episode of the first season of True Detective when they're in the school always freaks me out!
The third Child's Play goes from the (military) school, to the carnival. One of the roughest issues with hospitals as a horror locale is that, by necessity, they are disconnected entities (the ER isn't by the ICU isn't by the maternity ward) with dozens if not hundreds of workers and patients, 24 hours a day, so its ridiculous to see hospitals with 3 staff on location. You chose 30 Days of Night for "small town" rather than "isolated winter"... hmm.
OMG another Neal Shusterman fan! the Unwind books had such an impact on me when i read them when i was younger. like i still remember the characters’ names.
My favorite "school" setting movie is The Faculty. Halloween H20 is also set in a private Cali high school. Also, Disturbing Behavior. Cry Wolf, The Skulls, and all of the Urban Legend films are set on a college campus, which I still consider worthy. It's all Academia after all. Funny enough, all of these are either late 90s or early aughts films. Figures.
The ocean is my worst fear for a horror situation. When I was a kid I went snorkeling with my family in Hawaii. The undercurrent carried me out and the only reason I made it back was because I remember the airline hosts recommend swimming at an angle back to shore. The most horrifying thing was that I wasn't an experienced swimmer and it was easier for me to snorkel back to shore. I looked down without seeing the bottom most of the time. Literally never again rn...
Yes, so many horror movies located in old abandoned mental hospitals/asylums, sometimes in hidden wings or forgotten wards/tunnels/rooms of psychiatric/mental health hospitals. Maybe a fav for some or over used/redundant for others. Is what is happening in the plot related to mental illness or a supernatural event? another overused horror trope.
The Void is a cosmic horror film that takes place entirely in a hospital. Cooties is a horror comedy that takes place entirely in a school. It Follows & Jennifer's Body have some scenes in a school.
I was wondering about farmhouses (might count as smalltown) but I feel like there's so many good movies that involved farmhouses. Also I love haunted houses I just watched The Sonata and absolutely loved the house they used for it ❤️
Anna And The Apocalypse is a great zombie horror musical that takes place a lot in a school, and The Blackcoat's Daughter, obviously is another set in a school...
I really like your tier listing vids, thank you! Below are movies I’ve enjoyed that take place in some of the settings where you asked for suggestions. Enjoy! 🍿 School setting: Scream 2 Urban Legend Eerie Detention Jennifer’s Body Flatliners Hospital setting: Ghost Lab Session 9 Infection Grave Encounters Space setting: Life Event Horizon Sunshine Pitch Black
Oh! You mentioned wanting to see more movies set in WWI. Well, there happens to be a real incident that could be the perfect setting for a horror movie. Whether you wanted to add supernatural elements or not, I think it would make an interesting scary (or at least kinda gross) story. It's referred to as "The Attack of the Dead Men", and it's fucking insane. Obviously the men in question weren't actually dead (yet), but again, if you wanted to add a little horror spin on the story...
I haven’t seen it in a while but Cry Wolf I believe takes place exclusively on a campus. It’s one of my favorite “takes place in a school’ scary movies
I know I've only seen the video today, but something like a storage building in horror (main plot) is unique. Haven't seen anything in that setting at least.
A more recent horror location would be Skype/zoom!! Anything self contained within a computer. Host is a great example - one of my favourite movies ever
A tier list I think could be interesting is types of villains/antagonists in horror films. For example killers, monsters, ghosts, demons, stalkers, etc
for school horror- detention, both urban legends, prowler (80s horror), sorority row, house on sorority row, tragedy girls, cherry falls, happy death day, April fools, cry wolf, splatter university American psycho 2, graduation day, slaughter high and student bodies
The Void (2016) is one of my favorite horror movies, and it takes place in a hospital. Highly recommend checking that one out, especially if you love Lovecraftian horror.
How about horror movies where everything happens at the same location? I love those kind of movies. Not going from one room to the next and outdoors and inside, only one room. One of the reasons why i loved reading Missery
I'd love to see your take on some animated horror! Higurashi, Another and Serial Experiments Lain (not really horror but certainly creepy). I've seen a volume of Uzumaki by Junji Ito in one of your videos and it's getting an anime adaptation soon too!
I have a huge place in my heart for like “southern gothic” settings, I don’t know a better way to describe it lol. Whatever the setting for jeepers creepers and Texas chainsaw, that’s what I’m talking about.
The setting is so pivotal to the atmosphere and the way a scene can disturb you or scare you etc… yet it’s highly underrated in conversation about horror films! A good atmosphere puts me into the movie and scenery can make me feel different things. I love a good horror film like the ring and it’s atmospheric setting it’s so comforting for a horror film lol but overall I look for films that have an interesting atmosphere to disturb. Love this Sarah!
for me any horror story/movie where it takes place anywhere you cant escape (like a moon-base or a underwater-base) would be a nightmare because you would not be able to get out.
I rank hotels and haunted houses similar - definitely take me there. I feel like you could have had a “classic for a reason” category that would have fit some of the ones you struggled with. Like - I’m not excited by the location, but I know it’s not gonna hurt the movie to be held there. I have no idea if this is even a coherent post at this point, but here you go
If you're into (foreign) zombie stuff, the show All of Us are Dead is based in a school. I feel like they use the location pretty well and use multiple locations in and around the school. It's on Netflix and will get a season 2 next year I believe.
Here's some I think should have made it to this list : farm, suburbs/suburban house, appartment building/complex , transportation system (planes, trains, bus...), vacation homes/rentals
For me, hospital would be in nightmare because one of my first horror movies I had ever watch was Boo from 2005. A couple of teenagers decide to spend the night in a haunted hospital that’s been abandoned. So I guess that would fit in the haunted house thing but hospitals at night terrify me now because of this movie. I used to have nightmares about the dead body that was in a wheel chair, covered with a white sheet. Um no thank you.
I was once the only person on the top floor of the leather museum in Offenbach, Germany and the vibes I felt…I was kinda overcome and had to book it out of there, despite being super into textiles and material culture. I’ve felt similarly about the Edna Lawrence Nature Drawing Lab at RISD. It’s full of skeletons and taxidermy but also a few live specimens! It lends this feeling that anything could reanimate at any time. Anyhow, horror in a museum would be extremely dope.
How about a best tag line on a horror poster “if you have a taste for terror, take Carrie to the Prom” my all time fav “there’s only one thing wrong with the Davis Baby, ITS ALIVE ! “.

Cool list can you ranked vampire movies and witch movies
A ranking list like this on character deaths in horror franchises who “deserved better” lol.
Like when someone you’re really hoping survives unfortunately doesn’t.
The Facility? Is that mostly in a school? I haven’t seen it in 20? Years….
I don't know if you will like it but "Fortress" is in a schoolhouse and a cave it was made in 1985 it is a teacher in Australia her and the kids get kidnapped by guys in masks and put in a cave and escape and have to run and fight the kidnappers
there also way out in the countryside and there is woods so you get a school a cave woods and the countryside and horror all in one
I would love to see more horror take place in airports or other public transport places- I feel like that’s definitely an obscure location. And I completely agree with the woods, you can’t beat a horror movie that’s surrounded by trees and forest creatures
yes Quarantine 2 was in an air terminal and loved that setting! and Red Eye is a great on in an actual plane
Train to busan!!! It was so stressful and was on a subway.
omg yess i agree
The Langoliers?
The midnight meat train!
You should rank horror book to movie adaptations!
DID YOU ESCAPE FROM THE BASEMENT?
@Reelable Tea1 LOL
Including Jaws, Psycho, The Exorcist, and everything by Stephen King
Would love to see that (hope she includes video games and comics too)
Yesss! Ring, battle royale, Carrie, etc.
You could do a horror movie killer masks tier list! 🎭
love this idea!!
YES
Yes!
YESSSSSSS I LOVE THIS
Yess
Ranking ideas:
- psychological thrillers
- emotional horror
- A24 movies
- novels
- Stephen King novels/adaptations
- easiest-hardest to survive
- best performances
- horror-comedy
- horror merch
- masks/costumes/weapons
The Blackcoat's Daughter is a great example of creepy school setting. Definitely want to see more scary schools in future horror movies.
perfect, when she mentioned it, that's exactly what I thought!
Anna And The Apocalypse is really good and a lot of it takes place in and around a school...
Cooties? All of us are Dead (not a movie, but still worth mentioning)? 90% of all King's Game clones? Honestly I find the school setting a bit overpopulated.

I agree! and do it for multiple movies! you’d never run out of tier lists to do then and you could always still do random idea ones too :)
I would love to see a monster/creature tier list!!
yes!! i was gonna suggest the same!! especially if it went into more specific creatures
Same!
I second this!
Love creature flicks
Tier List Slasher antagonist weapons or powers :)
Knife, Chainsaw, Dolls, telekinesis, claws, etc
fuck knifes, love chainsaw 😍

The faculty is a great school setting film
oh yes!
FOREVER a favorite! 90's forever
Thank god someone said it
Yes.😌
Love this! Forgive me if you've already done these (i haven't yet watched all your ranking lists, but i'm making my way through!), but here are a few ideas!
1. your personal favorite horror movie soundtracks
2. favorite background characters who should have been leads
3. favorite characters who didn't deserve to die
4. most satisfying deaths of unlikeable characters
5. ranking characters who made it to the end of a horror movie but should have died instead of someone else
6. ranking more obscure horror movie twists
7. best outside horrors (not centered around being inside a building or house... mostly shot outside)
8. best non-assault-based horrors (i'm so sick of r*pe revenge stories/movies where people are assaulted... ENOUGH ALREADY. we have to live it, stop making us suffer through re-living it as "entertainment"!! pick a different subject, damn!)

i really loved amber's outfit choices in scream (2022)!
I love this idea. Jennifer’s body would be in my favorites 💕
As for a recommendation of school horror, tons of Korean horror films take place in school settings. An example is “Death Bell”!
Would love to see a Tier list of your favorite horror actors/actresses. And maybe a tier list of ways people die in horror movies (like stabbing, shot, car crash, drowning, etc)
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to include abandoned buildings, areas, asylums, etc. Great video, always enjoy your tier videos!
No way she didn’t put asylums, would love to see where she’d rank those
Asylum is similar to hospital.. especially when there's movies where conveniently there's no medical staff around while the victim is looking for help , i actually get annoyed now every time i see a hospital in horror movies. Even in the latest scream movie they pushed the hospital scenes 🙄.
9:12 Death Bell, Tag, and As The Gods Will are horror movies that take place in schools ☺️
I love and wish there were more ship/boat horror. I also love anything abandoned/derelict.
She recommended The triangle and I wasn’t disappointed!
The Blackcoat's Daughter is one of my favorite horror movies in general and I think it's the best use of a school setting.
Is that on Netflix?

Road horror movies! Might be a bit overdone, but definitely one of my favorite settings. :-)
omg SO. AWFUL. so vulnerable. great idea... gives me goosebumps just THINKING about my car breaking down at night somewhere remote!!
You should rank final girl/boy outfits. Like how did they look in the beginning vs end. Did they hold up? Do they still look goodetc.
Slaughter High....one of my favorites from the 80s that mostly takes place at a rundown school.
YES! Grocery stores are underrated i love chase scenes in grocery stores or post apocalyptic movies at grocery stores 😩
School movies: The Faculty, Disturbing Behavior, Carrie of course, Prom Night, Black Christmas. Right off the top of my head, I'm sure there are a few more set on campuses, sororities, high schools. Love your tier lists!
Potentially a video that would need a spoiler alert but I think "Ranking Opening Deaths" would be such a fun tier list. Knowing which movies start with a bang would be awesome
The grocery store is so obscure but I absolutely love that location. Then probably game and carnival
I guess it could fits as a setting but I would love to see more Western Horror, I had a blast watching Bone Tomahawk but unfortunately not a lot of those out there.
For school, if you have Netflix and you should watch All of us are dead' a Korean horror zombie drama
I was going to recommend this too! It is a series rather than a movie ,but I really enjoyed and hope to see a season 2!
@@kristalj1672 same same :)
Every time I think of a “lake” or “camping” movie I always go to Cabin Fever 2002! My 100% go to classic for that category.

12 Hour Shift is a dark comedy/horror that takes place 98% in a hospital and is one of my FAVORITE movies that came out in 2020.
Thank you for mentioning Overlord! I saw it in the theater and loved it, and was surprised it hasn't picked up more of a following.
You just popped into my feed and if all your tier lists are like this (with super fun tiers) I know what I'm bingeing today.
The Woods(2006) takes place at a all girls boarding school but also in the woods, it's free on Tubi
I will read or watch literally anything set in an isolated blizzard. Gimme all the snow. Its SO atmospheric.
I was waiting for “Mental Asylum” as I was thinking that would be something you’d put in your favourites ^_^
Yes, so many horror movies located in old abandoned mental hospitals/asylums, sometimes in hidden wings or forgotten wards/tunnels/rooms of psychiatric/mental health hospitals. Maybe a fav for some or over used/redundant for others. Is what is happening in the plot related to mental illness or a supernatural event? another overused horror trope.
You should do a tier list about "Cursed Things" on horror movies hehehehe 😁
i adore mall settings! let’s petition for more mall horror! :) great video - i love talking about movie settings 🖤
The Void is a cosmic horror film that takes place entirely in a hospital.
Cooties is a horror comedy that takes place entirely in a school.
It Follows & Jennifer's Body have some scenes in a school.

School horror I love is The Faculty. It Follows also has some school scenes and there’s also Jennifer’s Body.
Would love to see how you feel about corn fields and abandoned cityscapes (buildings, apocalyptic cities, etc.)
I can’t believe you mentioned Full Tilt! I loved it when I was younger and might reread it. Thought I was the only one who read it haha
Ranking popular Found Footage films!
Category’s could be so fun!
I adored Full Tilt. The moment you mentioned it, I was very happy.
I know I've only seen the video today, but something like a storage building in horror (main plot) is unique. Haven't seen anything in that setting at least.
5ive girls is (albeit cheesy) a movie that took place in a school and it’s one of my earliest horror memories!
A more recent horror location would be Skype/zoom!! Anything self contained within a computer. Host is a great example - one of my favourite movies ever
So happy to hear you recommend Neal shusterman!! He’s been one of my favorite authors for years!!!
Full tilt was a middle school fave of mine lol. I haven’t thought about that book in ages but I kinda wanna go back and re read it now👀
Becoming such a huge fan of these ranking videos
Two categories I would add are Suburbia and The City. Some of my fav movies are set in either of these settings.
A tier list I think could be interesting is types of villains/antagonists in horror films. For example killers, monsters, ghosts, demons, stalkers, etc
for school horror- detention, both urban legends, prowler (80s horror), sorority row, house on sorority row, tragedy girls, cherry falls, happy death day, April fools, cry wolf, splatter university American psycho 2, graduation day, slaughter high and student bodies
Cool list can you do ranked vampire, witch and Creature Feature movies tier list
The Void (2016) is one of my favorite horror movies, and it takes place in a hospital. Highly recommend checking that one out, especially if you love Lovecraftian horror.
i LIVE for these tier videos
A large city is an underused location. Two horror films that take place in cities are The Believers and Rosemary’s Baby.
I’m surprised you didn’t add asylum! Would you categorize that as hospital?
The Gallows is a pretty spooky School settting horror from what i remember!! Found footage as well :)

The setting is so pivotal to the atmosphere and the way a scene can disturb you or scare you etc… yet it’s highly underrated in conversation about horror films! A good atmosphere puts me into the movie and scenery can make me feel different things. I love a good horror film like the ring and it’s atmospheric setting it’s so comforting for a horror film lol but overall I look for films that have an interesting atmosphere to disturb. Love this Sarah!
for me any horror story/movie where it takes place anywhere you cant escape (like a moon-base or a underwater-base) would be a nightmare because you would not be able to get out.
I rank hotels and haunted houses similar - definitely take me there. I feel like you could have had a “classic for a reason” category that would have fit some of the ones you struggled with. Like - I’m not excited by the location, but I know it’s not gonna hurt the movie to be held there. I have no idea if this is even a coherent post at this point, but here you go
If you're into (foreign) zombie stuff, the show All of Us are Dead is based in a school. I feel like they use the location pretty well and use multiple locations in and around the school. It's on Netflix and will get a season 2 next year I believe.
I love #Alive so much you’ll prob like it too! There’s nothing missing on that one
Here's some I think should have made it to this list : farm, suburbs/suburban house, appartment building/complex , transportation system (planes, trains, bus...), vacation homes/rentals
For me, hospital would be in nightmare because one of my first horror movies I had ever watch was Boo from 2005. A couple of teenagers decide to spend the night in a haunted hospital that’s been abandoned. So I guess that would fit in the haunted house thing but hospitals at night terrify me now because of this movie. I used to have nightmares about the dead body that was in a wheel chair, covered with a white sheet. Um no thank you.
I’m always down for any horror involving a beach/island/jungle setting. I read lord of the flies as a kid and ain’t been the same since lol.
I was once the only person on the top floor of the leather museum in Offenbach, Germany and the vibes I felt…I was kinda overcome and had to book it out of there, despite being super into textiles and material culture. I’ve felt similarly about the Edna Lawrence Nature Drawing Lab at RISD. It’s full of skeletons and taxidermy but also a few live specimens! It lends this feeling that anything could reanimate at any time. Anyhow, horror in a museum would be extremely dope.
…no spoilers but episode 1 of Moon Knight kinda just granted my wish?…
I would also love to see you rank the most infamous horror movie directors!!
As for school horrors, The Faculty is an amazing 2000s school horror - so campy and fun
1408 is definitely one of my all time faves!
How about a best tag line on a horror poster “if you have a taste for terror, take Carrie to the Prom” my all time fav “there’s only one thing wrong with the Davis Baby,
ITS ALIVE ! “.
