#101 scariest movie moments

[flanaganfilm]

Hi Mike! I was watching Shudder's 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time and was surprised to see Hill House on the list. I figured you were there to give your thoughts on works, and maybe even talk about some of your movies if they were on the list. Is there any background on how a show ended up on a horror movie list? (Side note: having seen Lake Mungo, I didn't make a connection until I was watching you talk about it. It makes so much sense as a piece of influence now.)

I have NO IDEA how they curated their list. They reached out to me to see if I'd be willing to sit for an interview and comment on some titles. They sent me a list of titles to choose from and I picked out the ones that I really loved. It was weird to see my own titles on there, and I felt like I absolutely shouldn't/couldn't comment on those, but they asked me some specific questions about them and I figured why not...

I don't know how they chose the scenes they chose. I did really enjoy their list, though, and any chance I have to talk up LAKE MUNGO is worth taking in my book

Okay, so I think that Five Nights At Freddy's is a really good, really fun teen horror movie and that is the most important thing to know about it when you first watch it. That this is a horror movie that was made for kids and teenagers, ranging from 8-15. If you go into it expecting anything other than that you will be disappointed because this is not a hardcore gorefest. This is perfect movie for little mini goths who want to watch horror movies and for parents who don't want their mini goth kids to be irreparably traumatized by a horror film.

That being said, I think the movie could also be really confusing for viewers that don't understand the supernatural and occult elements that are incorporated into the plot. Things like lucid dreaming and astral projection, and the idea that it's easier for kids' to interact with ghosts because they can be more in tune with their natural intuition than adults. A lot of stuff straight out of a Ghost Hunting 101 handbook.

Basically, this movie is kinda like a Toy StoryxNightmare On Elm Street crossover. It focuses on Mike who is hyperfixated on his younger brother who was kidnapped from a campground when they were both children. Mike uses his skills as a lucid dreamer -- someone who can control their dreams -- to try and uncover who the kidnapper is while also caring for his younger sister, Abby. So there's kind of a lot going on, but the plot flows surprisingly well in spite of that. The filmmakers did a really good job of showing how the subplots all intersect.

There were definitely creepy moments in this film, but the scariest moments are intended to frighten children. Not adults. So I want to reiterate that adult audiences need to go into this film understanding that it is a teen horror movie. It's not gonna make most adults shit their pants, and it's probably not gonna win any awards. But if you're a diehard fan of FNAF or Matthew Lillard and you keep the target audience in mind then you're in for a great time with this movie. Like, yes, there are plot holes and stuff but this is a movie about haunted robots, guys.

This is a scifi-horror movie with that was made for teenagers. Don't overthink it. Don't torture yourself by trying to make it all make sense, alright, because at the end of the day it's a fucking scifi-horror movie. It doesn't have to make sense or adhere to the laws of reality in order to be fun, and if that notion is too hard for you to grasp then you might as well just avoid the science fiction and horror genres entirely. Because they rarely make sense and sometimes that's the best part of the experience.

Five Nights At Freddy's gets three and a half out of five stars.

I’ve been on a bit of a kick of watching/reading horror movie listicles (Shudder’s 101 Scariest Movie Moments, WhatCulture Horror, etc.) and I would once again like to ask:

HOW DID SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE HEREDITARY WHEN IT IS ONE OF THE WORST, MOST BORING MOVIES I HAVE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF SEEING?

[steveharrington]

cloverfield not even making that top 101 list is sick and twisted to me…..is it the scariest movie ever no but considering they put a fucking episode of the haunting of hill house into a docuseries called the 101 scariest moments in horror movie history i feel like cloverfield should’ve made the cut!! the scene where hud first films clover and all you see is the giant leg moving between buildings and he’s like OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT come on. chills every time

[theresebelivett]

Hey, Mike! I've been rewatching Shudder's "101 Scariest Movie Moments" and I love how passionately and thoughtfully you (and Kate!) talk about the movies that shaped you. It has me wondering if you've seen Late Night With The Devil yet — because it was one of the best horror movies I've ever seen and I would kill to get your thoughts on it.

Absolute adore that movie! You can see my thoughts over at my Letterboxd account
