"Event Horizon" is the last movie I remember really scaring me. I was around 18 and working in a movie theater when it came out. I'd long since gotten over being scared by scary movies. But that movie takes the best bits of "The Exorcist," "Alien," and "Hellraiser" and blends them into one unrelenting message-evil infects. There aren't really any physical demons or spoopy ghosts. There's just evil. Evil that gets inside your head and lives in the quiet moments with you when no one is looking.
The Critical Drinker does a great video on that film. That movie is utterly terrifying. Being that they’re in outer space really pushes it to that level because there is nowhere to go.
That tampon ain't going to do shit when she psychologically manipulates it to come to life and choke you to death, screaming in agony. Don't even try to play with this, you'll never understand and never understood.
Mark A. Fucking A right. I don't remember being scared of any movies, but I definitely remember the ones that felt disturbing to me. The original Texas chainsaw massacre was one of the few.
i think it has one best scenes, simple effective, when she is chased and runs inside gas station for help. the guy leaves her there waiting, staring at the dark open door.
awesome film, i saw it when it first came out and I had to see it at least 5X to really get it, it's rightly messed but it's a good film....very good :]
I had to spend a day in the hospital a few weeks ago. That movies ending just lingered in the back of my mind and made it so much worse. I thought i would either 1) Just live out the ending of the movie Or 2) Fall asleep and have a nightmare and live out the ending of that movie. The best horror movies aren't even scary. (imo) They're just unsettling. They make you uncomfortable and stick in your mond amd you can't feel comfortable whenever the thought of it comes up. Jacob's ladder is perfect in this sense. Psycho is another. I never realized how vulnerable i am (and anyone. YES EVEN YOU Mr fully trained marine who eats babies for breakfast) when I'm taking a shower. The very nature of a shower leaves you at your most open that you'll probably ever be. Hell, you're naked and have your eyes closed, i don't care how trained you are, someone hits you with a knife at the right second, you're DONE.
Misery. It isn't a creature film, I guess maybe it is, but the unsettling feeling throughout the entire film is palpable. Kathy Bates does such a fantastic job in her role as the psychotic fangirl, and so does James Caan as the author.
FFM0594 Define “horror” for yourself. Being a prisoner of a criminally insane person who genuinely believes that they love you and has your best interests at heart, who will nurse you back to health but shatter your legs (chop them off in the novel) when you step out of line and force you to write a new novel tailored just for them is a horrific situation.
I don't find that film all that scary personally but i do think that it is a great movie regardless and i completely understand if other people find it scary.
The Japanese THE RING actually scared the bejeezus out of me, and I don't know why. It believes in spirits, and I don't, but by the time the girl came crawling out of that TV, my stomach lining had forgotten all about that.
Absolutely agree. The very notion of one's body breaking down and failing then. When his teeth come out, nails etc... Eurgh. Very unsettling. Also the fly 2 practical effects for the dog still haunt me. Horrifying prospect
The Grudge has scarred me forever. I watched it first as a kid, and to this day there are times where I can't sleep without the lights off because I keep thinking of the little boy and girl.
Jonathan Morales As a child, I was at my friend's house when her parents were watching it. We were too young to see it, but that didn't stop us from creeping into the living room and watching from behind the couch. The noise the grudge makes still freaks me out to this day.
the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. dated quality adds a layer of creep, dinner table scene near the end freaks me out every time and it's not even that gory.
@@pizzas4breakfast That happened on the set of Poltergeist. Now Tobe Hooper using real human bones in TCM idk about, But i do know most of the bones and corpses that were real was roadkill.
The Thing is one of the scariest films I've ever seen. The scene where they go after it with the flame thrower outside and burn it as it screams still haunts me to this day. Also Jeepers Creepers was extremely scary especially when you realize he's not human.
I have to say that Pet Sematary was and is the most bone chilling screen ever with the wife's sister. Even as a full grown adult I still get chills thinking about that that room. Her face.. The voice. Damn!
Tanker Review Yeah, horror movies should focus more on scary than threatening things. The sick sister is a thousand times scarier than any aggressive monster simply, because she is not something you can fight.
Poor Lewis. I liked Zelda. She was shitpants eerie though. The character of Rachel was very irritating, so when she had that hallucination or dream about Zelda taunting her, it made me giggle.😄 It was kinda cute. "Never get outta bed again." Classic stuff.
Watching the movie when it was first released I'd not recovered from her first appearance when she charged at the camera during the dream sequence. So affecting were those scenes I was barely able to follow the rest of the movie, unable to get Zelda out of my mind and worried that she was going to pop up again unexpectedly.
Definitely one of the most terrifying scenes in any horror movie for me. I saw this movie pretty young and that scene gave me nightmares for sure. Even just watching that little clip gave me chills up my back as well.
There very few movies that actually scared me, but the Thing by John Carpenter. Scares the ever-loving hell outta me. Seriously its not bad enough the monster is able to hid itself from view, but it also will take over your body. Jesus at least Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers will just kill your ass. This thing wants to kill you and wear you like a fucking shirt.
To me the worst thing about it is how insanely infectious it is. As if the sheer paranoia of how anyone around you could be it in disguise wasn't sufficiently terrifying, the fact that every littlest part of it is sentient and wants your flesh makes it truly panic-inducing. Hell, pretty sure all it would take is to have sex with it and not realize you're not actually fucking a human, and the body fluids exchanged would go on to convert your whole body to that fucking thing. ...Of course, if it got you into that situation it would probably just turn its genitals into a big horrifying mouth, wrap a bunch of claws and tendrils around you and proceed to ruthlessly devour you or some shit...
i have not allowed myself to watched it because i dont like gore , once you have seen so many horror movies the prospect of watching a good horror movie becomes difficult so a safe move would be a classic like audition in order to not get dissapointed but something to this day prevent me from watching it, i have seen gore in fact i enjoyed eli roth's hostel but the kind of gore featuring in films like l'interiur or human centipede i just cant stand it.
@@cinema_chic I believe that the start was intentionally a bit mundane to heighten the horrific feeling of last third or so. If you go in not knowing anything about the film that technique can be quite effective.
Nothing has scared me more than 2013 Andy Muschietti's "Mama" I had to literally turn on all the lights in my house midway watching this flick and didn't sleep well for nights.
Yes, supremely underrated thriller. Not horror, but definitely scary. Makes your imagination work and then run wild. I was definitely terrified to go outside at night (I live in the country). Seeing the alien at the end kind of ruined it though
Misery is one of my top movies. Any movie with a real life antagonist is always more scary to me. Kathy Bates does so well and is so believable it’s terrifying every time.
Dude, you totally nailed it with Zelda from Pet Cemetery! Those scenes messed with me when I was young. One movie that I always thought was genuinely scary was Session 9. I did like all your choices, though. All those films are superior works in their genres. Love the vids, Keep up the great work man!
I've seen three of those, I would agree: Exorcist, Alien, Pet Sem. The original Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street come to mind. Return of the Living Dead 1985 too.
This was one of the best reviews of horror movies I've ever watched. The combo of the beard, voice, and subject matter has helped soothed me into a pleasant slumber on many occasions. Literally every movie on this list is one of my all time favorites to watch on Halloween
You have the perfect tone to fall asleep to. I know that doesn't sound like a compliment, but I've started putting ur videos when i go to bed, works great, keep it up.
The Blair Witch Project is the first horror film I've seen that genuinely freaked me out. I know a lot of people didn't find it scary, but because I was traumatised by the concept of Bloody Mary as a child, the idea of a witch in the woods chasing me is terrifying. Especially when you continue to go in circles and there's no way out. The movie really plays on your worst fears and allows you to interject whatever you find scary into the scenario, which is why I consider it underrated.
As someone who is not particularly scared of clowns, the original pennywise was just about the most terrifying thing ever to me when I was younger. IT had the pleasure of being the first real horror movie I've ever watched and it's simply unforgettable. Nowadays I only see Tim curry in clown make up but for a good portion of my life that wasn't Tim curry, it was the stuff of nightmares. Being a introverted lonely kid and being faced with a world where being that would get you murdered and eaten... crazy stuff to the mind of a child.
Paladin Johnson the new IT from 2017 actually scared the shit out of me, and I don't really have a fear of clowns either. Funny though, how Pennywise and the story continues to be terrifying to the newer generation. I'm only 17, I didn't see the 90's mini series. But the new movie, terrified me.
Great selection ! For me, 'Stir of Echos' deserves a mention. The hypnosis scenes along with the unfolding premonitions were unnerving. The ghost was genuinely disturbing and, in the end, the neighbors were truly threatening. Production quality is very good as well. The editing keeps a good pace, each scene moves the story along.
I remember seeing Alien as a 13 year old kid at a theater in New Jersey. I spent the latter part of the film with my hand in front of my face, peeking through my fingers. Truly terrifying. I didn't sleep well for 3 days after. It was great, looking back now. A definite classic sci-fi thriller. I still have it on laser disc and VHS.
Ok, seriously just found your channel. Your list be on point, because those are movies I would actually still find scary, even if I don't scare easy anymore. Total subbing and 1982 The Thing is pretty scary enough.
All good choices.First Phantasm scared me as a kid. The nightmare sequence is still scary to me. John Carpenters Prince of Darkness has some great moments as well.
Five movies that scared me were : Night Of The Living Dead (1968), Phantasm (1979), The Blair Witch Project (1999), The Exorcist (1973) and The Evil Dead (1982).
Im reading Pet Semetary my first Steven King book without really knowing what it's about. So far it's a cute slice of life drama with same strange creepy dreams. I'm sure nothing crazy will happen.
Can't believe I just discovered this channel I love your stuff man. You're video on Hellraiser was what started it for me. Oh and they fact that Chauncey is Hispanic only makes me like him better
This is my first time on your channel. I have to say this was an unexpectedly awesome list. The inclusion of Mulholland Dr. earned you a sub from me. I couldn't agree more that the scene in question is one of the best jump scares of all time. Every time I watch that movie - every few years - I become more impressed with it and it reaffirms itself as belonging to a very short list of my all-time favorite films. I'll be binging your content today, thanks in advance!
do you dare walk these steps again?? IDK I can't look at Exorcist the same way now after the movie Repossessed..... ua-cam.com/video/NZtNAqj2vE8/v-deo.html
Your videos are top notch - thank you! "Somehow lesser" can be really scary. Losing your humanity and performing increasingly antisocial because you can, you can afford it/get away with it or you think it is expected of you (american psycho, hostile takeover, apocalypse now).
Pulse (or Kairo) is like watching a nightmare on screen. Reminds me of those ghost flash movies I watched when I was 13 and I was too scared to go to the bathroom so I would pee out the window.
I saw the original Night of the Living Dead at the movie theater when I was 14, after it was first released in 1968. It scared the living crap out of me. Remember that there were no really scary movies before that one. I saw it another 5 times, bringing groups of unsuspecting friends along... hah haha The movie Hostel was pretty disturbing as well.
Night of the living dead is so underrate!! Scared the shit out of me and my mom said it did to her when she was a kid. I think the black and white of the move only adds to the creepiness.
Same here! I saw it at the dollar show around '72 or '73, It scared me for years and years. In the late 80's early 90's I lived out in the woods in an old farmhouse with my husband and 2 babies. It was so dark out there, looking into the woods. I would get flashbacks from Night of the living dead all those years later. On a good note it spurred my love of all thing's zombie.
Event Horizon, that movie scared the crap out of me. The idea that there might be an alternate universe like hell but not spiritual in nature and that science might someday take us there, mmh.
This was a kick ass list man. I agree with every single one of them. The original Japanese, hard-as-hell-to-find "Ringu" also scared the bejesus out of me. But these were all scary flicks.
Agree with the Exorcist, that one’s unsettling even by today’s standards. Saw some of its iconic scenes before I saw the film and thought I wouldn’t find it that scary anymore, but especially the transformation of Regan’s sweet and innocent personality to the demonic one really hit it home for me. Another one is the Japanese Ringu, which caught me cold in the end and made me keep my lights on for a good 2 weeks. Similar thing, if not to the same extend with It follows.
Jump scares usually dont work with me but the beginning THE DESCENT (car crash metal rod impaled through head).... that fucking scene made two grown men jump out of their seats and scream. Not many movies do that. Then it gets claustrophobic and brutal. Yep. The Descent is a bit of a horror masterpiece.
Just the cave in general was scary, the girls going thru the small cracks of the cave had me feeling like I was in the cave with them..The angles of the cave was amazing
Oddly I found the first paranormal activity pretty scary, not exactly at the time of watching it, but when you go to bed at night, it sticks on your mind
The TV miniseries is campy as anything, but the tropes are all-star: a conspicuously dead-of-essence world consumed by unstoppable sentinels whose destiny is simply the way the universe works--unbeknownst to us--day by day. The weight of the ideas made it awesomely horrifying despite the TV budget limitations.
The one horror movie that actually scares me, "The Video Dead" Its a really obscure zombie flick about a TV that spews pure evil into the world, mostly in the form of the Video Dead. One scene in particular that just chills me to the core is when you realize how self aware they are... to the point of being startled and laughing at themselves for it... its disturbing. The ending is classic and perfect in every way.
Mulholland drive, to me (and there is a poll by all of worldwide film critics that put it at number ONE of the 21 st century best movies) is one my top 10 movies of all time.
That didn't scare me. I was sitting there the whole time going "what the fuck is HAPPENING in this movie? Is this just the director's weird acid trip? Why did I waste my time on this?"
You must not be very familiar with David Lynch if you had that reaction to Mulholland Drive. It's actually one of his more tame pieces. He doesn't really follow conventional story telling methods or plot lines, it's more some weird free form experience. If you ever watch anything where he talks about his process it's admittedly a bit pretentious, but it shows through in his work. Things happen in life and he just goes with it and sort of thinks some concepts will drive themselves, which doesn't always really lead anywhere...normal. Hell, one of his most well known characters, Killer B.O.B. from Twin Peaks, was sort of an accident: supposedly the 'actor' who played him was really just a crew member who was out of place during filming and was trying to hide from the camera and when Lynch saw this creepy dude trying to hide from the camera's view it inspired him that this was his evil spirit and cast him immediately.
Great reviews mate....I believe that the feeling of dread , is the catalyst to making a great horror movie. I remember when "The Evil Dead" was released,the feeling of dread was so intense, I had this knot in my stomach the whole movie..... cheers from OZ mate :)
Paul ya wore me down bro. I watched a dozen videos after stumbling into your channel. All the while thinking, "Naaah he's not for me. Something stylistically bugs me here".....but somewhere around video 10 I figured it out!! You are my inner monologue!!! Your voice, the cadence & the dry cynicism....is what I hear that "voice", my reasoning to sound like. Well I subbed & liked. And await future installments. So, thanks....I think. (all read in your voice)
I tried to read pet sematary but couldn't get past the first rambling incoherent sentence. If you want a book that's not dog shit then read cormac mccarthy the road.
Came across your channel while looking for some movies to watch that I may not seen before. Really enjoy your lists vids as, like some of the commenters say, they are much better than those others that pop up as "recommended". (Have gotten a lot of better recommendations from merely the comments on those vids of yours). Only one I haven't seen here is Mulholland Drive, so I'll have to check that out. I was born in '74 and my first memory of anything horror was being at my gram's and watching Halloween II on HBO in the dark (we only had cable at home). She had one of those illuminated box slider channel things with the long cord as a "remote" that you could sit back on the couch with. Good times. I remember asking my dad about scary movies back then and he said The Exorcist and Alien, in that order, were in a class of their own and nothing else needed mentioning. As for Pet Semetary, I liked that one. I know his books are usually preferred over the movie adaptations, but either way. I do recall my ma's favorite writer was King and she'd tell my brother and I about the progress of the books she was reading while she got us ready for school each morning. I remember the fact that the chapter titles in Thinner were Billy's weight freaked me out haha. Anyway, hope there will be a Paul-O-Ween this year. Take care
Bro i dont know how i never stumbled on ur channel until now but that was an awesome review of 5 truely disturbing genuinely scary movies...bravo on ur 5 films!! HALLOWEEN 1978 is my all time favorite and the original Michael Myers still haunts my dreams to this day when i watch the film...not thats its scary its just that Michael Myers (1978) always seems to find me hahahah...an escaped mental patient who stalks and disturbingly admirers his kills as an art...its something about that i always loved lol...and this nee film looks to have a lot of throw backs to the original Halloween and H2...the emotionless blank slate that barrels his way through victims to find the one that got away...if she just didnt drop those keys off for her father lol!! Looking forward to more of ur horror film reviews and looking forward to the mischief night review of the Hellraiser films...shiuld be pretty cool with the way this video went..bravo brother!!!
i'm really glad you included the exorcist, paul. that is the only movie i've ever seen that sends this strange sort of aching chill through my body. i was raised to believe that that sort of thing was real, and although i don't believe it anymore, that childlike part of my brain does(if that makes sense) which i think really drives the fear into me. a lot of people think it's cheesy in comparison to modern movies but i disagree. it's beautiful made and if an possession existed i imagine it would be a lot more like that instead of any of the more modern possession movies.
The scariest movie I saw when I was a kid was Return of the Living Dead. All of the comedy elements went right over my head, but the horror element sure as hell didn't. There was some fucked up stuff in that movie.
the scene you included from pet sematary with the sick sister is so incredible creepy, it haunted me after I watched it the first time. pet sematary is one of my favourite horror movies because it deals with the real horror of losing someone and desperately wanting to get him or her back
Glad you mentioned Mullholland Dr. Just watched that again yesterday, and it gets creepier each time. My scary one is Fire In The Sky. I think I'd be like the main character if I saw a UFO close by. But then his recollection on his return under the kitchen table. Truly surreal and horrifying. Even scarier is it might actually be very close to truth!
I watch the " The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen" when it came to the theaters. Oh yeah, people ran out crying. The addition of the subliminal flashes, and shadows made it that much more ominous. My hair stood up on end when she did the fucking crabwalk. Ugh...
I can't with that movie, I just can't. It really terrifies me, when it came out in theaters again I was 12 and whenever the adds came on TV I couldn't move, I started sweating and I could hear my heartbeat.
You mentioned it at the beginning, but didn’t have it on your list. Hellraiser still scares me! The idea of the Cynobites is terrifying. I still have 2nd thoughts when I play with a Rubic’s cube or a puzzle box. Some of the acting was marginal, but the movie, on the whole, was great.
Bit late to the party but "As Above So Below" absolutely scared the crap out of me for days, I didn't want to turn the lights off at night. Worth a watch in my opinion.
Elm street remake. I was terrified when I realised I wouldn't get a refund.
real-life horror right there.
😂👌🏽
Lol. Same here. Fear and depression!
The original is one of my top 10 favourites if not my favourite. Is the remake still not recommended?
@@jayrobitaille2402 the remake was so bad
I completely agree with you on "The Descent." That shit was scary BEFORE the monsters showed up.
No doubt!
For sure! good film.
It was so claustrophobic!
Hispanic American Skeletons suffer the worst discrimination.
Hang in there Chauncey. Si se Puede.
I don't hate Hispanics. Just skeletons.
@@jaredfrost3548 😂😂😂
As long as Chauncey is legally in the country I have no problem giving him taxpayer funded cemetary welfare.
"Event Horizon" is the last movie I remember really scaring me. I was around 18 and working in a movie theater when it came out. I'd long since gotten over being scared by scary movies.

YES! The scariest thing for me about EH is . . . there is no safe space. Nowhere to hide.. . because wherever you go. . there you are. *shudder*
The Critical Drinker does a great video on that film.
That movie is utterly terrifying. Being that they’re in outer space really pushes it to that level because there is nowhere to go.
Event horizon has Some really Really fucked UP cut Out scenes...
RIGHT!!!! So true! I remember being terrified when I watched that…still creeps me out now
Yes. Great story until they played the recording. WTF. I was deeply disturbed. Not easy
1982 The Thing
bobguy True
1000% makes me itch just watching it.
+Holypikemanz You're next on the list for Carrie you pompous fool.
defeat carrie with a tampon. Next!
That tampon ain't going to do shit when she psychologically manipulates it to come to life and choke you to death, screaming in agony. Don't even try to play with this, you'll never understand and never understood.
Just discovered this guy. Refreshingly funny and insightful commentary on popular films. Keep it up!
F
The original Omen was pretty scary too.
I personally feel like the Omen was probably in the top 5 most overrated movies I've ever seen in my life and top 10 worst movies
Another Classic 👍
John Carpenter's The Thing 1982 was frightening still to this day I'd say it's one of the best scifi horror
100 percent agree
Yup
Totally agree
Every once in awhile I get the urge to watch The Thing again... Then I remember how damn scary it was!
The best
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre remains one of the only films to truly disturb and terrify me. That fuckin' dinner scene, man.
Mark A. Fucking A right. I don't remember being scared of any movies, but I definitely remember the ones that felt disturbing to me. The original Texas chainsaw massacre was one of the few.
i think it has one best scenes, simple effective, when she is chased and runs inside gas station for help. the guy leaves her there waiting, staring at the dark open door.
Mark A. Amen brother. So gritty and dirty feeling, everything about it.
Nothing quite compares to the nastiness of that film.
Jacob's Ladder.
Justin Marsh yes, yes and YES!!! Jacob's Ladder is, right next to the exorcist, the scariest film i ever witnessed. perhsps even the scariest! !
awesome film, i saw it when it first came out and I had to see it at least 5X to really get it, it's rightly messed but it's a good film....very good :]
I had to spend a day in the hospital a few weeks ago.
That movies ending just lingered in the back of my mind and made it so much worse.
I thought i would either
1) Just live out the ending of the movie
Or
2) Fall asleep and have a nightmare and live out the ending of that movie.
The best horror movies aren't even scary. (imo)
They're just unsettling. They make you uncomfortable and stick in your mond amd you can't feel comfortable whenever the thought of it comes up.
Jacob's ladder is perfect in this sense.
Psycho is another. I never realized how vulnerable i am (and anyone. YES EVEN YOU Mr fully trained marine who eats babies for breakfast) when I'm taking a shower.
The very nature of a shower leaves you at your most open that you'll probably ever be. Hell, you're naked and have your eyes closed, i don't care how trained you are, someone hits you with a knife at the right second, you're DONE.
That movie is some freaky deaky shit
Justin Marsh 😂😂😂 wasn't scary
Misery. It isn't a creature film, I guess maybe it is, but the unsettling feeling throughout the entire film is palpable. Kathy Bates does such a fantastic job in her role as the psychotic fangirl, and so does James Caan as the author.
Absolutely psychologically agonizing but not horror.
Misery is the only movie that has terrified me as an adult. Being helpless under the control of someone completely unbalanced....yeah.
FFM0594 Define “horror” for yourself. Being a prisoner of a criminally insane person who genuinely believes that they love you and has your best interests at heart, who will nurse you back to health but shatter your legs (chop them off in the novel) when you step out of line and force you to write a new novel tailored just for them is a horrific situation.
The hobbling scene has got to be one of the scariest scenes of all time!
I don't find that film all that scary personally but i do think that it is a great movie regardless and i completely understand if other people find it scary.
The Japanese THE RING actually scared the bejeezus out of me, and I don't know why. It believes in spirits, and I don't, but by the time the girl came crawling out of that TV, my stomach lining had forgotten all about that.
The Fly that stars Jeff Goldblum is scary. One of the best horror remakes.
imaginepeace63 The Fly remake was definitely very well done. And those practical creature effects are great
It scared the crap outta me as a kid. I still haven't watched it again 🤣
Absolutely agree. The very notion of one's body breaking down and failing then. When his teeth come out, nails etc... Eurgh. Very unsettling. Also the fly 2 practical effects for the dog still haunt me. Horrifying prospect
Yeah i could sit through it all wincing until the "lets acid vomit o this mans arm" scene. Took a long time for me to face the screen on that one.
"You think you woke me up about the flesh don't ya? Well you only know humanities straight line about the flesh!"

Yes
It's more disturbing and unsettling than scary imo
lmao i couldn't get over a terrible acting, shit movie
So all those bones in that movie came from actual human skeletons. It was cheaper to buy corpses wholesale from India than it was to make plastic ones
@@pizzas4breakfast That happened on the set of Poltergeist. Now Tobe Hooper using real human bones in TCM idk about, But i do know most of the bones and corpses that were real was roadkill.

Brock Shamblin silence of the lambs and any Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins) is disturbing as shit
I always found Silence of the Lambs quite scary
william wallace - my pick, too.
There was a TV movie back in the 70’s, IIRC, called “Dark Secret of Harvest Home” that gave me the willies.
The Audition was horrifying.
My favorite
i have not allowed myself to watched it because i dont like gore , once you have seen so many horror movies the prospect of watching a good horror movie becomes difficult so a safe move would be a classic like audition in order to not get dissapointed but something to this day prevent me from watching it, i have seen gore in fact i enjoyed eli roth's hostel but the kind of gore featuring in films like l'interiur or human centipede i just cant stand it.
I found it mostly boring until the last portion of the movie.
@@cinema_chic I believe that the start was intentionally a bit mundane to heighten the horrific feeling of last third or so. If you go in not knowing anything about the film that technique can be quite effective.
Great flick 👍
The thing, the 1982 version.
Ryan Ibarra best horror movie of all time bar none
Nothing has scared me more than 2013 Andy Muschietti's "Mama" I had to literally turn on all the lights in my house midway watching this flick and didn't sleep well for nights.
Zingtron jokes on you. I’m a robot.
How scary is it?
It's okay. Not that scary. More drama than anything else.
David Lynch has undoubtedly made some of the scariest non-horror movies.
horrorpunx The basement scene in Zodiac is one of the scariest scenes I've ever seen.
Joshua Knepshield yeah but Zodiac is a David Fincher movie
Eraserhead creeps me out the most
If anyone hasn't seen it yet, Lost Highway is another great Lynch film in the style of Mulholland Drive
Robert Blake as the Mystery Man is the best thing about that movie.
When I was young a movie called Don't be Afraid of the Dark. Messed me up. It's an old school movie made in 1973. Til this day I have no idea why.
My favorite horror films: The Thing, In the Mouth of Madness, Prince of Darkness, Event Horizon, and Halloween 2.
Prince of Darkness’ final scene, I showed it to my Sons when they were nine and seven, they screamed and jumped up in their seats!
YES! someone else who liked Event Horizon! ^_^
Dude the mouth of madness to this day i can't watch it alone, fucks with me!
@Rob T lol, just a little bit. I feel like his horror movies are actually genuinely interesting and creepy. Not just cheep lame ass jump scares.
@@ambertriplett6929 Event Horizon is criminally underrated.
Paul, you should do a "best on netflix" series
Robert Kitchell I'd love to see that
yes do it paul👍
I’m here to search for that exact subject
Dude signs scares me. The thing about it that scares me is the way you don’t know anything but what the characters know.
it more funny then scary
Yes, supremely underrated thriller. Not horror, but definitely scary. Makes your imagination work and then run wild. I was definitely terrified to go outside at night (I live in the country). Seeing the alien at the end kind of ruined it though
Alien is best
Fire in the fucking sky. Spooky
Mattymattcroatoan I think you got that from another UA-cam video about signs.
The Sentinel: That ending when all Hell literally broke out *STILL* gets me... 😳
Misery is one of my top movies. Any movie with a real life antagonist is always more scary to me. Kathy Bates does so well and is so believable it’s terrifying every time.
Dude, you totally nailed it with Zelda from Pet Cemetery! Those scenes messed with me when I was young. One movie that I always thought was genuinely scary was Session 9. I did like all your choices, though. All those films are superior works in their genres. Love the vids, Keep up the great work man!
Man, Cars 2006 is what scares me the most.
Mitchel Green what is inside of the cars? Why do they have tongues? Do they drink gas?
Mitchel Green Yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss
Do they have car insurance or health insurance?
I've seen three of those, I would agree: Exorcist, Alien, Pet Sem. The original Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street come to mind. Return of the Living Dead 1985 too.
I saw Signs in theatres and i can honestly say that that movie was terribly unsettling and truly scary to me.
The Howling. Scared me as a kid, still scares me today.
2001 has always scared me. Being trapped alone in space. No thanks.
Now we have AI and Machine/Deep Learning technologies that should scare us... HAL v2.0
Then I bet you also love to watch the movie Gravity ;)
Here's Johnny.
This was one of the best reviews of horror movies I've ever watched. The combo of the beard, voice, and subject matter has helped soothed me into a pleasant slumber on many occasions. Literally every movie on this list is one of my all time favorites to watch on Halloween
You have the perfect tone to fall asleep to. I know that doesn't sound like a compliment, but I've started putting ur videos when i go to bed, works great, keep it up.
Another good one is Bob Ross, very calm relaxing voice.
Great list! New subscriber!
Same here
@@bigcrackrock wtf lol
I really love and appreciate your taste for horror. Horror is what got me into films.
I recommend "White Chicks". The faces of horror.
Saint Sacrifice that movie is my religion
Me too .. I think I shat myself seeing the preview. Thanks
LMAO
The Blair Witch Project is the first horror film I've seen that genuinely freaked me out. I know a lot of people didn't find it scary, but because I was traumatised by the concept of Bloody Mary as a child, the idea of a witch in the woods chasing me is terrifying. Especially when you continue to go in circles and there's no way out. The movie really plays on your worst fears and allows you to interject whatever you find scary into the scenario, which is why I consider it underrated.
what about Event Horizon?
The hell scene footage was creepy as fuck.
I still can’t revisit that movie to this day. I’ve tried twice!
As someone who is not particularly scared of clowns, the original pennywise was just about the most terrifying thing ever to me when I was younger. IT had the pleasure of being the first real horror movie I've ever watched and it's simply unforgettable. Nowadays I only see Tim curry in clown make up but for a good portion of my life that wasn't Tim curry, it was the stuff of nightmares. Being a introverted lonely kid and being faced with a world where being that would get you murdered and eaten... crazy stuff to the mind of a child.
Paladin Johnson the new IT from 2017 actually scared the shit out of me, and I don't really have a fear of clowns either. Funny though, how Pennywise and the story continues to be terrifying to the newer generation. I'm only 17, I didn't see the 90's mini series. But the new movie, terrified me.
Great selection ! For me, 'Stir of Echos' deserves a mention. The hypnosis scenes along with the unfolding premonitions were unnerving. The ghost was genuinely disturbing and, in the end, the neighbors were truly threatening.
Production quality is very good as well. The editing keeps a good pace, each scene moves the story along.
I remember seeing Alien as a 13 year old kid at a theater in New Jersey. I spent the latter part of the film with my hand in front of my face, peeking through my fingers. Truly terrifying. I didn't sleep well for 3 days after. It was great, looking back now. A definite classic sci-fi thriller. I still have it on laser disc and VHS.
Which cut is the one with the 13 year old alien kid?
I'd agree with all of these. I love when it's not about jump scares, but anxious feeling which gives you nightmares.
That zelda scene is nightmare fuel
That character was played by a man, mostly to up the creep factor.
Ok, seriously just found your channel. Your list be on point, because those are movies I would actually still find scary, even if I don't scare easy anymore. Total subbing and 1982 The Thing is pretty scary enough.
All good choices.First Phantasm scared me as a kid. The nightmare sequence is still scary to me. John Carpenters Prince of Darkness has some great moments as well.
Five movies that scared me were : Night Of The Living Dead (1968), Phantasm (1979), The Blair Witch Project (1999), The Exorcist (1973) and The Evil Dead (1982).
I can only think of 3 movies that messed me up. Cronenberg's dead ringers. David Lynch's Inland Empire and Jacob's ladder.
Sadek X I can very much agree with this list. Love the soundtrack from Inland Empire...so unnerving.
CMON BABY DO THE LOCOMOTION
Jacob's Ladder was pretty good.
Jacob's Ladder deflates itself in the end.
Im reading Pet Semetary my first Steven King book without really knowing what it's about. So far it's a cute slice of life drama with same strange creepy dreams. I'm sure nothing crazy will happen.
Nothing crazy at all will happen. :)
What did you think of it?
Can't believe I just discovered this channel I love your stuff man. You're video on Hellraiser was what started it for me. Oh and they fact that Chauncey is Hispanic only makes me like him better
This is my first time on your channel. I have to say this was an unexpectedly awesome list. The inclusion of Mulholland Dr. earned you a sub from me. I couldn't agree more that the scene in question is one of the best jump scares of all time. Every time I watch that movie - every few years - I become more impressed with it and it reaffirms itself as belonging to a very short list of my all-time favorite films.
I'll be binging your content today, thanks in advance!
Exorcist 3 is SCARY AF
Good movie except for the ridiculous ending.
Jeff Dahmer's favourite flick
Michel DC
Do that! But be warned - that movie is scary as fuck. Afterwards, check out this review:
ua-cam.com/video/uyg8UxnRyQQ/v-deo.html
One of the worst movies ever.
do you dare walk these steps again??
IDK I can't look at Exorcist the same way now after the movie Repossessed.....
ua-cam.com/video/NZtNAqj2vE8/v-deo.html
Your videos are top notch - thank you! "Somehow lesser" can be really scary. Losing your humanity and performing increasingly antisocial because you can, you can afford it/get away with it or you think it is expected of you (american psycho, hostile takeover, apocalypse now).
Not sure how I stumbled here but you got yourself a new subscriber my good man!
"The Haunting" original b/w film. All physiological, only see the real house as alive at the end.
Pulse (or Kairo) is like watching a nightmare on screen. Reminds me of those ghost flash movies I watched when I was 13 and I was too scared to go to the bathroom so I would pee out the window.
I saw the original Night of the Living Dead at the movie theater when I was 14, after it was first released in 1968. It scared the living crap out of me. Remember that there were no really scary movies before that one. I saw it another 5 times, bringing groups of unsuspecting friends along... hah haha
The movie Hostel was pretty disturbing as well.
Night of the living dead is so underrate!! Scared the shit out of me and my mom said it did to her when she was a kid. I think the black and white of the move only adds to the creepiness.
hostel has convinced me to never visit europe.
@@abheekgera1437 lol yup
Same here! I saw it at the dollar show around '72 or '73, It scared me for years and years. In the late 80's early 90's I lived out in the woods in an old farmhouse with my husband and 2 babies. It was so dark out there, looking into the woods. I would get flashbacks from Night of the living dead all those years later. On a good note it spurred my love of all thing's zombie.
Dude.. THANK YOU! Pert Semetary is one of the most terrifying movies I’ve ever seen!
Event Horizon, that movie scared the crap out of me. The idea that there might be an alternate universe like hell but not spiritual in nature and that science might someday take us there, mmh.
This was a kick ass list man. I agree with every single one of them. The original Japanese, hard-as-hell-to-find "Ringu" also scared the bejesus out of me. But these were all scary flicks.
Agree with the Exorcist, that one’s unsettling even by today’s standards. Saw some of its iconic scenes before I saw the film and thought I wouldn’t find it that scary anymore, but especially the transformation of Regan’s sweet and innocent personality to the demonic one really hit it home for me.
Another one is the Japanese Ringu, which caught me cold in the end and made me keep my lights on for a good 2 weeks.
Similar thing, if not to the same extend with It follows.
Thanks for the vid, Chauncey. Your editing skills are great.
I felt the same way while watching the Descent
Jump scares usually dont work with me but the beginning THE DESCENT (car crash metal rod impaled through head).... that fucking scene made two grown men jump out of their seats and scream. Not many movies do that. Then it gets claustrophobic and brutal. Yep. The Descent is a bit of a horror masterpiece.
Just the cave in general was scary, the girls going thru the small cracks of the cave had me feeling like I was in the cave with them..The angles of the cave was amazing
My fun with The Descent was that I watched it and didn't even knew that it had monsters... 10/10
You should review the New French Extremity film, "Martyrs".
That movie stayed with me for years.
Bad taste film
Oddly I found the first paranormal activity pretty scary, not exactly at the time of watching it, but when you go to bed at night, it sticks on your mind
for some reason the langoliers scares me
energeez SCARING THE LITTLE GIIIIRL?!?!?!?!
The TV miniseries is campy as anything, but the tropes are all-star: a conspicuously dead-of-essence world consumed by unstoppable sentinels whose destiny is simply the way the universe works--unbeknownst to us--day by day. The weight of the ideas made it awesomely horrifying despite the TV budget limitations.
The concept is scary it's a great mini series
Nope! I liked the suspense until the Langoliers appeared. A huge anti-climax.
I watched it on television when it came out. It hasn't aged well, but at the time it was scary.
the sick sister from pet cemetary is definitely one of my favorite "monster that's not a monster but also totally is a fucking monster"s.
My biggest fear born right there T-T
“RAAAAAAACHEEEELLLLL” 😱😱😱 (hated it, hated it, hated it)
Her name was Zelda. Why don't people remember this?
Most reviewers don't have a clue. You nailed the scary ones. Happy Halloween to you and Chauncey!
The one horror movie that actually scares me, "The Video Dead" Its a really obscure zombie flick about a TV that spews pure evil into the world, mostly in the form of the Video Dead. One scene in particular that just chills me to the core is when you realize how self aware they are... to the point of being startled and laughing at themselves for it... its disturbing. The ending is classic and perfect in every way.
I know when I was a kid pet sematary and the the exorcist scared the Donkey shit outta me,so I have to agree Paul.
I know what you did last summer scared me when I was a kid
Mulholland drive, to me (and there is a poll by all of worldwide film critics that put it at number ONE of the 21 st century best movies) is one my top 10 movies of all time.
Mucho agreeo!
Mine too!
Paul Zenco
That movie was to be a tv show.
That first dream scene, the bum. 1st time creeped me out. David Lynch's sound jumps on you.
OneEyeMan
Yep, It's in my Lynch collection.
F-king awesome soundtrack by Trent Reznor.👍👍
The movie Sinister gets me everytime
Suspiria. That's one of my favorites. And one from the old drive-in days: Let's Scare Jessica to Death.
I was skeptical of this list, then you got to Mulholland Drive and won me over. Have a sub.
Its a great list The descent as his first choice is spot on, a great horror film. Good horror films are rare.
That didn't scare me. I was sitting there the whole time going "what the fuck is HAPPENING in this movie? Is this just the director's weird acid trip? Why did I waste my time on this?"
You must not be very familiar with David Lynch if you had that reaction to Mulholland Drive. It's actually one of his more tame pieces. He doesn't really follow conventional story telling methods or plot lines, it's more some weird free form experience. If you ever watch anything where he talks about his process it's admittedly a bit pretentious, but it shows through in his work. Things happen in life and he just goes with it and sort of thinks some concepts will drive themselves, which doesn't always really lead anywhere...normal. Hell, one of his most well known characters, Killer B.O.B. from Twin Peaks, was sort of an accident: supposedly the 'actor' who played him was really just a crew member who was out of place during filming and was trying to hide from the camera and when Lynch saw this creepy dude trying to hide from the camera's view it inspired him that this was his evil spirit and cast him immediately.
Mulholland Drive is fucking terrifying, and it just gets worse with repeated views.
Chauncy says the craziest stuff 😂 he needs his own special on Netflix or something.
Great reviews mate....I believe that the feeling of dread , is the catalyst to making a great horror movie. I remember when "The Evil Dead" was released,the feeling of dread was so intense, I had this knot in my stomach the whole movie..... cheers from OZ mate :)
Paul ya wore me down bro. I watched a dozen videos after stumbling into your channel. All the while thinking, "Naaah he's not for me. Something stylistically bugs me here".....but somewhere around video 10 I figured it out!!
You are my inner monologue!!!
Your voice, the cadence & the dry cynicism....is what I hear that "voice", my reasoning to sound like. Well I subbed & liked. And await future installments. So, thanks....I think.
(all read in your voice)
The pet sematary book is even more terrifying!
Hey Dude! I remember you from the Space Pedos review!
I remember your pic, lol
The book is great! Very messed up!
I’m reading (listening) to all of King’s books and stories, the books are a lot better then the movies or the ones on TV.
I tried to read pet sematary but couldn't get past the first rambling incoherent sentence. If you want a book that's not dog shit then read cormac mccarthy the road.
Event Horizon
Zack Holloway yeah I went into that movie knowing literally nothing about it!....sweet Jesus....
Hell yes!
It's a masterpiece that film.
Zack Holloway
agreed. Also the mouth of madness with that same Jurassic Park guy
I was disappointed by it. I wanted more
Came across your channel while looking for some movies to watch that I may not seen before. Really enjoy your lists vids as, like some of the commenters say, they are much better than those others that pop up as "recommended". (Have gotten a lot of better recommendations from merely the comments on those vids of yours). Only one I haven't seen here is Mulholland Drive, so I'll have to check that out. I was born in '74 and my first memory of anything horror was being at my gram's and watching Halloween II on HBO in the dark (we only had cable at home). She had one of those illuminated box slider channel things with the long cord as a "remote" that you could sit back on the couch with. Good times. I remember asking my dad about scary movies back then and he said The Exorcist and Alien, in that order, were in a class of their own and nothing else needed mentioning. As for Pet Semetary, I liked that one. I know his books are usually preferred over the movie adaptations, but either way. I do recall my ma's favorite writer was King and she'd tell my brother and I about the progress of the books she was reading while she got us ready for school each morning. I remember the fact that the chapter titles in Thinner were Billy's weight freaked me out haha. Anyway, hope there will be a Paul-O-Ween this year. Take care
"Johnny Got His Gun". The thought that even if it was one of the most remote things that could happen to you, is terrifying.
Read the book if you liked the movie. Seriously depressing though...
@@michaelsteffensen6844 , I did read it, too. One of those things that even if you liked the book after reading it you never want to read it again.
The Thing, The Babadook, The Ring(original), and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) also deserve consideration for this list in my opinion.
the babadook? really??
Mulholland drive yes!!!!! The hobo scene dude. Noooooo that will ALWAYS haunt me.
Bro i dont know how i never stumbled on ur channel until now but that was an awesome review of 5 truely disturbing genuinely scary movies...bravo on ur 5 films!! HALLOWEEN 1978 is my all time favorite and the original Michael Myers still haunts my dreams to this day when i watch the film...not thats its scary its just that Michael Myers (1978) always seems to find me hahahah...an escaped mental patient who stalks and disturbingly admirers his kills as an art...its something about that i always loved lol...and this nee film looks to have a lot of throw backs to the original Halloween and H2...the emotionless blank slate that barrels his way through victims to find the one that got away...if she just didnt drop those keys off for her father lol!! Looking forward to more of ur horror film reviews and looking forward to the mischief night review of the Hellraiser films...shiuld be pretty cool with the way this video went..bravo brother!!!
Just recently found your channel! Love it! You have a new subscriber! 👍
Since you’ve played Skyrim, Paul, do the falmer remind you of the creatures in the descent?
Bailey Odom When I first saw the creatures from The Descent, I immediately thought of the Falmer.
God I hate those things. Them and their damned "pets".
i'm really glad you included the exorcist, paul. that is the only movie i've ever seen that sends this strange sort of aching chill through my body. i was raised to believe that that sort of thing was real, and although i don't believe it anymore, that childlike part of my brain does(if that makes sense) which i think really drives the fear into me. a lot of people think it's cheesy in comparison to modern movies but i disagree. it's beautiful made and if an possession existed i imagine it would be a lot more like that instead of any of the more modern possession movies.
Great video man. First time coming across your channel. very funny joke about your mexican co host in the begining.
The Strangers. There isn’t a movie out there that’s premise is as likely and horrifying as in that movie.
It was good but “horrifying” 🤨.
I couldn’t wait for part 2 but WOW was that a big letdown
I didn't like Chauncey UNTIL I found out he's Hispanic. viva las Chauncey!!!
The scariest movie I saw when I was a kid was Return of the Living Dead. All of the comedy elements went right over my head, but the horror element sure as hell didn't. There was some fucked up stuff in that movie.
Agree with everything you say.
But now i totally love the movie, and the humour it shines through,i guess that's how cult movies become cults.
the scene you included from pet sematary with the sick sister is so incredible creepy, it haunted me after I watched it the first time. pet sematary is one of my favourite horror movies because it deals with the real horror of losing someone and desperately wanting to get him or her back
Glad you mentioned Mullholland Dr. Just watched that again yesterday, and it gets creepier each time. My scary one is Fire In The Sky. I think I'd be like the main character if I saw a UFO close by. But then his recollection on his return under the kitchen table. Truly surreal and horrifying. Even scarier is it might actually be very close to truth!
I watch the " The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen" when it came to the theaters. Oh yeah, people ran out crying. The addition of the subliminal flashes, and shadows made it that much more ominous. My hair stood up on end when she did the fucking crabwalk. Ugh...
Wil Aukschun I feel you brother! The crab walk with the terrifying music/sound fx made my neck muscles seize up so fast it hurt like a bitch haha
I can't with that movie, I just can't. It really terrifies me, when it came out in theaters again I was 12 and whenever the adds came on TV I couldn't move, I started sweating and I could hear my heartbeat.
2007 Dead Silence. The main antagonist is horrifying
You mentioned it at the beginning, but didn’t have it on your list. Hellraiser still scares me! The idea of the Cynobites is terrifying. I still have 2nd thoughts when I play with a Rubic’s cube or a puzzle box. Some of the acting was marginal, but the movie, on the whole, was great.
Bit late to the party but "As Above So Below" absolutely scared the crap out of me for days, I didn't want to turn the lights off at night. Worth a watch in my opinion.
