Horror scenes that give you the spooks

>right after the killer(s) has been thought to be killed but gotten away
>last few survivors are injured and hysterical
>first respondents, family members and reporters are on scene but its not secured

could be a cool little indie flick, but IMO nobody is filming horror movies in the proper tone anymore. Like literally in the proper defintion, everything is too clear and bright in nice definition, a movie should be shot on film or in 33mm or 16mm to give it that bleak but realistic vibe. Thats the atmosphere people talk about in a horror film, or lack there off

TCM was a halfway decent remake but I wish they would've hit the day time horror more and made the family more outlandish like in the original. They made the family angry hillbillies instead of an inbred freak show. Other than that the horror wasn't bad and leatherface's design was very imposing.

Friday the 13th remake also wasn't bad

The ghosts made me uneasy and the jump scares actually had some weight to them because of that. Also I was young when this came out and haven't rewatched it to pick it apart. Watched Ju-on way later and I definitely prefer the more human-like ghosts and japanese horror elements but it didn't have the same piss-your-pants impact on me

I watched TCM on TCM

>Thats the atmosphere people talk about in a horror film, or lack there off

I disagree. I do like the aesthetic film brings to horror movies and it takes me back to the comfy aesthetic the original Halloween had but I don't think it's crucial to tone. Horror movies these days just follow stale tropes and lack individuality. To me they're all very plain and samey
>plot and character building shot in the light with killings and general creepiness happening in the dark/night time
>big bad is hidden in the dark and behind camera angles until the reveal, Michael Meyers creeping in the background of the og Halloween will always be classic and is still an underused idea imo we need more killers hidden more creatively until the reveal
>killings are uninspired and simply over the top cinematically, I want to see killings with actual weight behind them, not visual/audio overload with loud sounds and overdramatic camera work. I'd like to see more characters built up and killed in ways that are emotionally impactful rather than just gruesome and gory
>Unnecessary plot lines and twists and shit, quit with the convoluted ghost stories and twisty killer reveals, I want simple possession movies with body horror and slasher films with creative kills
>aesthetic. Most horror movies lack any of it and (for example) a24 productions are nailing aesthetically pleasing horrors and making buzz because of it. I'd like less generic dark/gritty shots with dissonant sounds and more attention paid to the overall feel of the movies

Basically I think horror movies are stuck in the same cycle of being dark and gritty with too much focus on visually dramatic kills and too much focus on plot. I'd like to see more focus on the overall tone of the movies, more attention to detail in aesthetics, and more character building, there are way too many NPC deaths with no weight behind them, I want to see characters with emotional ties to the audience killed in ways that make your heart ache.

they have his full name but no photos or mugshots of the guy? no high school year books? nothing?

It's the best ending of any movie ever.

This really was a great fuckin scene.

He's a literal retard, I doubt he's ever been to school.

Great fucking scene in hindsight but didn't effect me at all when I first watched the movie. I just thought to myself "So what? I knew there were aliens", and thought it was a generic design. I was younger then and didn't think of the impact that scenario would actually have in the real world. Confirmed video proof like that would send the whole world into fits and I like how the movie takes place in a rural area where they only experience the hysteria via the news, and ironically they'd been dealing with the aliums directly.

This whole film was fucking freaky as hell, anyone who says it’s aged poorly or it isn’t as scary because they know it’s not real is fucking retarded

The rapid head movement unnerved me in SH3 and continued to do so in Jacob's Ladder. I wish more people would pick up on weird ideas that are just creepy and unnatural enough not to scare outright, but also make one feel a little more than uncomfortable.
The enemy design and placement in SH3 really hit a certain nerve, especially with how chaotic the sound design and environment in some areas made the rest of the game feel. You weren't afraid of fighting monsters as much as finding out what bizarre shit was in store for you as you moved forward.
Is that feeling able to be replicated in movies or does it come from being more immersed in the experience since you're playing vidya?

Freaked me out a bit, but what really got me was the corn field scene. The buildup, tension, and scare are executed incredibly well, and done in a much quieter, creepier way than the video scene.

Great film because the whole premise is based around fear of the unknown. Bizarre and unexplainable phenomenon is my favorite kind of horror. I wish more horror movies would implement fear of the unknown and let bad shit happen for unknown reasons and leave things clearly unexplained/unexplainable.
I knew after Blair Witch came out that someone would try to make a sequel to explain things and show the witch, I'm surprised it took so long for that sequel to come out.

watch the 1999 remake of House on Haunted Hill. Not very good but it's got some freaky shit in it

In my opinion, Signs is literally one of the scariest movies of all time.
A true underrated masterpiece.

Watched it when I was younger and loved it. Not very great like you said but the disturbing imagery is fantastic, like the scene where that guy gets stuck in that contraption that shows him (from what I remember) beheaded in stop motion. I miss the days when I could enjoy movies for certain aspects instead of judging them by the sum of their parts.
Can you recommend any other horror movies where the victims are driven crazy before being killed?

George was the best part of SM3.

first time i saw this i wondered how he made the statue come to life

This and the hand under the door made me jump so hard it felt like i pulled a muscle. I fucking hate jumps cares but they're great.

The sci-fi channel mockumentary on the blair witch made the whole movie scarier.

I was gullible and thought it was real so I was shitting bricks the whole movie.

This scene is honestly my GOAT horror scene. That fucking leg at the end sent chills down my spine like nothing else ever had before or has since.
Completely agree.

ayy lmao

A-fucking-men. It's a goddamn tragedy to me that nobody understands the effectiveness of the unknown, unexplained, incomprehensible, etc.

The only way to appreciate this was to be there when it came out. Documentaries on the 'kids lost in the woods', everyone saying it was real, the viral marketing was intense. I knew a few people who vomited and had to leave the theatre.

>jumpscare
peak s.o.y.

Is this a joke?

Signs is based

Aw shit, some other '99 House on Haunted Hill bros.

This scene in particular still haunts me some 20 years later.

It's shot pretty ingeniously. You know when that ghost is standing there that shit is gonna get real in about 2 seconds but when he runs up to the camera is still gives you a jolt.

Also the faceless woman in the water.

Saw it at the theater when it came out. Great movie.

>TCM remake
>Spooky
Lmao fucking faggot

It was the most hyped up movie ever. It was viral marketing at it's peak. Everyone was saying "oh this the scariest movie of all time!" "It's real!" We actually went to go see it, but couldn't get a ticket because it sold out. So, I had to see Deep Blue Sea instead. Jesus what an awful movie. I finally rented Blair Witch when it came out on video, again hard to get because of the hype, and it was a shaky incoherent mess of a movie. Nothing that special for me being a teen at the time. Really didn't think much of it at all. Almost a joke, honestly. Everyone who was over that night agreed.

Kino desu

This is the only scene that has legitimately scared me, and it's not even the "jump scare" part that does it.

I remember the vast majority of people back in the day sharing your sentiment. I didn't watch the movie at the time but my parents did and they both said it was garbage. It seems like a pretty recent phenomenon that people have begun talking about it as if it's some kind of masterpiece.

Agree. This is by far the scariest movie I've ever seen, and it gets me freaked out ever time I watch it. Less is more, your mind fills in the blanks where the unknown threat is with what scares you the most.

>Less is more, your mind fills in the blanks
unknown reasons and leave things clearly unexplained/unexplainable.
Absolutely fucking retarded copout. Why even watch the movie, just imagine a more scary movie in your head.

>that fucking scene
>that fucking score
I've got an mp3 player full of movie soundtracks on shuffle and any time those fucking violins come up I get goosebumps. If it comes on at night I nope right the fuck out.

Any of the Djinn scenes in Under the Shadow were extreme spoop. Some of them were just unnerving, like the old dude crawling away through the crack in the ceiling.

After the disappointment wore off after such immense marketing, it does stand up as an extremely interesting art piece. All the tie-ins, how the filmed it, the lore behind it, is all excellently done, and we'll probably never see anything like it again.

I honestly don't get it. I guess since all those shitty PG-13 "found footage" films got big at the theater people went back to the original and thought it was a masterpiece. It really wasn't and was only a big deal because they paid nothing to make the film and put a lot of money into viral marketing and it because a huge success for them monetarily.

I agree it was interesting and fun to experience it at the time, but honestly it's not scary. At least to me.

the mutt kid in angel heart with the yellow eye contacts scared me

It's the Citizen Kane of modern horror movies

... as in "that movie that really wasn't that good, but established a lot of new conventions and techniques that movies after it reproduced and did better and so now everyone in film classes talks about how fucking profound it is"

It happens all the time though. There are all sorts of viral marketing campaigns now days and 'lore' has become an extremely widely used buzzword. I mean you have entire things like SCP, Slenderman, etc that are mimicking that kind of storytelling. Unless you mean that its become so ubiquitous that it will never be a big event in the way that it was with Blair Witch, which I guess is true. I don't think that alone makes the movie in itself anything remarkable.

Citizen Kane is actually good though. Also Blaire Witch Project wasn't even the first. Something like Cannibal Holocaust far precedes it.

much creepier in motion since the head doesn't move but the body does
