[spaceunderscorecowboyy]

horror ask: which friday night freddy animatronic is the most fuckable

Changing my Purge answer, I'm gonna kill this guy and thats it.

[flaggermuser]

🧨 and 👿!

Most shocking ending to a horror film... I don't actually know. There's not been an ending that shocked me but for suspense, I'd say The Thing 1982

I am fighting Bo Sinclair in a 7/11 parking lot. I will square up to that clown motherfucker and beat his ass.

[awritingcaitlin]

🕰 - what would your character do if they were stuck in a time loop?

Rinnie would try every conceivable way to break the time loop, but have a few in there where she just fucks off (and sleeps) until she gets back to work. I'm imagining that Stargate SG-1 episode, actually. Heheh.

Thanks for asking!

[oedipuscomplexes]

2, 5, 23, 25 !!

aa ty for the ask!!!

2: most recent horror movie you watched and hated

hm probably The Seventh Day on netflix.... it sucked for most of the runtime and then it was kind of interesting for 5 minutes at the end and that made me angry because i wish it had all been like that instead of the shit i had just sat through lol

5: a subgenre you would love to watch more of/see more movies being made in the subgenre

i need to watch more gothic horror i love gothic horror so much

23: the horror movie from your favourite subgenre that got you into that subgenre

my favourite subgenre at the moment is psychological horror, and the film that initially sparked that love for psychological horror is definitely The Lighthouse!! it changed my whole life when i first watched it (it made me worse) <3

25: the best/your favourite horror movie plot twist

the twist at the end of the first saw will ALWAYS be my favourite i think :))) saw my beloved

[cosmic--marmalade]

This isn't on the list but I'm just throwing opinions out now.

I don't hate the Home Invasion genre, I just think it's really tired. I feel the same about Paranormal Found Footage. I have yet to see a Home Invasion Found Footage movie and I think that could be really scary! Found footage is always supposed to be grounded in reality right? Home Invasion as a genre is scary because it preys on the very real fear of that very real crime, Found Footage is the perfect medium to heighten that.

Is it basically fodder for true crime girlies at that point? Sure, but there are a lot of different ways you could make it play out that is interesting, and scary to watch because of the things inherent to the found footage medium as a whole.

Closest a movie comes to this, in my opinion, is Creep, Creep 2, and like sort of Megan Is Missing (stupid movie but my point still stands). Similar vibes, just not the right situation (or script/execution oof MIM is just bad)

[horrorgirlreads]

What are your top five favorite lines from the horror movie genre? What is the strangest horror movie you’ve ever watched? What is your favorite 80’s horror film?

Ok, so my favourite lines, hmm...

"I know you boys have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I would rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!" - The Thing

"Fuck Martha Stewart, Martha Stewart can kiss my shiny plastic butt. Here I am slaving away over a hot stove, making cookies, making Swedish meatballs and for what? For a man who doesn't appreciate me. For a man who can't even wash one fucking dish!" - Bride of Chucky

"Ow, you fucking hit me with the phone, dick!" - Scream

"I'll behave"- Ginger Snaps (she does not, in fact, behave)

"I feel like boo boo" - Jennifer's Body. I quote this all the time.

Strangest horror movie I've ever watched was zombeavers which me and my sister watched as a joke

Favourite 80s horror movie is The Thing, hands down

[lesbianwithchainsaws]

horror ask who. is an underrated final girl in ur opinion?

Okay, here's some that come to mind:

Erin from You're Next. It's not like she's never mentioned, but I do think she's a little underrated. She's so badass and cool, and really makes the movie overall!!!

Sally from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I'll say it. Yes, TCM is one of the most well known horror movies of all time, but 99% of the time when its mentioned, people don't really talk about Sally. But I feel like she's cool enough and endured a lot of shit that she should be talked about more. (However, we should all collectively never mention the 2022 TCM remake and Sally in that because the 2022 remake is horrible)

Deena and Sam from Fear Street. Mainly Deena. I will fully admit I am biased here. I genuinely cried when I watched the Fear Street movies because good lesbian rep in a horror movie!!!! That's so damn rare, so automatically any movie that shows me good lesbian rep is a top tier movie with top tier characters. But idk, I feel like the trilogy and the characters are generally pretty good, but it's like people talked a bunch about Fear Street when it came out and now no one talks about it or Deena and Sam. (I guess technically they're not final girls, but shhh)

Justine from Kristy. If you haven't seen Kristy, I recommend it! It's a pretty good modern day slasher movie with some great suspense (though warning to say that it does slightly suffer from "scenes in the nighttime are so dark you can't see shit"). And Justine is pretty damn cool as well!!!

Oh, the main girl from Haunt (looked it up, apparently her name is Harper). Maybe the fact that I can't remember her name isn't a good sign, but I do remember a bunch of her scenes and I do think she's also super cool and badass! Also Haunt is just really good in general.

I think those are the main ones that come to mind and, as always, would love to hear your opinions too!!!!!

[americanpsychopomp]

hellraiser, the vvitch, invasion of the bodysnatchers (for the horror movie asks!)

Hellraiser (do you have any tattoos and piercings? Want any?):

Yes i have 7 piercings and would like at least 4 more :).

The VVitch (Favorite historical time without old time bigotry):

I'm more interested in learning about ancient times (think BCE) than most of the modern era.

Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (How do you think others see you? How do you see yourself?):

Ive been told I come across as stoic but I see myself as more social and silly.

[m34gs]

Tell us your top five favourite horror movie tropes!

Oooh this is a fun ask! Thank you for sending this, friend! I'm excited to answer. (Horror, graphic descriptions of violence and gore, and potential spoilers ahead!) I've listed them from 5 to 1, leaving my Top Favourite for last. Some tropes can kind of overlap with others, and that's ok! I think that adds to the story telling too! (this is a subjective list, and it is based on my opinions and feelings only 🥰💜)

5. Ringing in at number 5, we have: The Reflection Isn't Actually a Reflection. All those scenes where we follow a character into the bathroom, they're washing their face or brushing their teeth or getting ready for the bath. We see them staring into the mirror, and then they turn away...but the reflection stays in the original position...or, just as scary, they look away briefly and our perspective follows theirs, so when they look back we are hit with a sudden demon face. There are lots of ways to do this trope. Probably one of my favourite ways this trope was executed was in Mirrors (2008).

The bathroom scene in Mirrors is one I will never forget. This was one of my very first horror movies, but I still remember this scene so vividly. When I watched it with my friends, we knew it was going to be a scare moment (why else would we see someone getting ready for a bath in a horror movie???) but we weren't prepared. When the woman is getting ready for the bath, there's a moment where she's no longer looking in the mirror, and the reflection remains staring at her. She doesn't realize anything is different, but we know. She goes and gets into the tub. The reflection remains, still looking like her. What happens next is something that did haunt my nightmares for a while. The terror is two-fold. On one hand, we have the audience knowing something is up, with a view of the mirror and seeing what's actually happening and being terrified because there's no way to stop it. On the other hand, this character in the tub had no idea of the danger she was in, suddenly can't seem to stop her jaws from being stretched open against her will....and it doesn't stop. It. Doesn't. Stop. You can see the confusion turn to fear and then desperation in her eyes and it haunts me. I think I was around 15 when I watched this movie. I had nightmares for weeks and none of my friends or I felt safe in a bathroom with the mirror uncovered for the next few days. The reason this isn't higher on the list is that I do feel the trope itself gets overused sometimes...a lot of demon movies have some sort of mirror scene...so while I like it, I think it should be used maybe a bit less; like only when it adds to the story and not for cheap scares.

4. Next up is: Jump Scares! Love me a good jump scare, and the best ones are the ones that get me no matter how many times I watch the movie. Sinister has that one scene in the attic where the spirits of the children are watching the tapes and the protagonist is so confused and drawn into the scene he doesn't even blink and then THE FACE IS RIGHT THERE. Gets me every time. A very fun trope, if used effectively. Some movies overdo it, or the jump scares don't actually scare me...but it can be such a fun thing to play with. Especially if the filmmakers decide to play around with it, drawing the scene out and making you think there's gonna be a scare...no wait we're fine...Oh there's gonna be a scare!....no wait...oh!...no...wait...oh, we're fine, it's all goo- BAM. The anticipation is a large part of the fun!

3. Number Three: Things That Are Not Supposed to Move That Move Anyway. This can refer to a lot of things, and you might wonder "why didn't she narrow it down", but the fact is that I find it is a very fun aspect of the story telling in horror movies. I was looking for a way to encompass that scene in Sinister where the man pauses the video, looks away from the screen, and the face in the PAUSED VIDEO turns toward him and stares at him as he's looking away...as well as the rocking chair in The Conjuring...The plates all being on the ceiling only to crash down to the floor in Paranormal Activity...Any and All possessed toys...doors that are supposed to be closed opening...doors that were open closing ominously behind the protagonists...I wanted to include all of it, and really, it all fits under that description. This is something that is bound to creep me out, and sometimes even downright terrify me (looking at you, Sinister). It's something that can add so much atmosphere and terror just because I look at it and go "That is Not Right. NOT RIGHT AT ALL." and immediately my hackles are raised. I love it. I hate it. It's fun. It's terrifying. Give me more. Yessssss.

2. Second place goes to: The Enemy Was Something Other Than What They Thought The Entire Time. Love this. I love the mystery. I love piecing together the clues. I love making guesses and seeing if I'm proven right or wrong. I love it so much. The Messengers. Haunting in Connecticut. Caveat. Devil. Psycho (yeah yeah, I know we all know the plot twist, but the characters don't, and that's what I mean). I love me a Red Herring, and I love rewatching the movie to see all the little clues I may have missed the first time. It's so much fun! Honestly, you could almost call 'guessing the plot-twist' a hobby of mine. LOL.

My top favourite horror movie trope: Final Girl! Typical of slasher movies, such as Scream or Halloween or Texas Chainsaw Massacre, there is usually a group of young adults/teens. One by one they are picked off until there's only one or two left. Final Girl refers to when the last one standing is a girl, and she takes on the villain in a last-stand...and wins. "Winning" can mean different things in different scenarios. In some, it's plunging a knife or shooting a bullet into the attacker and getting away. In others, it's running and jumping into the box of a driving truck and scream-laughing, covered in your own blood, as the man chasing you loses speed and ends up doing a creepy dance with his chainsaw in the middle of the road. The reason I enjoy Final Girls so much as a trope is because it really lets the girls go wild. They get to go absolutely feral and fight for their lives. It's really interesting to see a character pushed past their breaking point, and I find it almost therapeutic when it's a girl. Like, yes, please, let it all out. Let out the rage. Let out the fear. Let it all out the way you never can in polite society. Show them how strong you really are and that they aren't to fuck with you. That's what I really like about it. It's cathartic.

Thank you again for the ask, friend! I hope you enjoyed my answers!!

i NEED more disturbing horror recs. please fill me up

well there is the serbian film and I don’t recommend this lightly whatsoever (it’s disgusting, revolting even, but it it highly disturbing), there’s the guinea pig series, there’s cannibal holocaust, but anymore more (I haven’t seen them, but they’ve always been on most disturbing horror lists) is snuff or like pretend snuff (but ew either way)

there’s a list I found that this guy made on reddit which has most of those disturbing movies so here it is:

you can use this list as a “stay away from” if you want as well

[valtsv]

being someone who's passionate about their interests when you're a horror fan really is a special layer of hell because every interaction you have with another person where the conversation turns to your hobbies and personal entertainments is a trial where if you show too much unrepentant glee at getting an opportunity to talk about your preferred subject you get to watch them mentally move you onto their list of untrustworthy individuals to avoid in the future in real time

[flaggermuser]

📽 please :)

Oh shit, an obscure horror film.

The one that comes to mind is When The Wind Blows.

It's not a horror film per say, it's based on a graphic novel but it deals with Nuclear War and uses Government recommendations from the time period.

I watched a YouTube video about it and it freaked me the fuck out.

[awritingcaitlin]

☄️ - what would your character do in an apocalyptic event?

Okay I'm gonna be a bit unoriginal here. See, if it's some type of like, natural disaster sort of apocalypse, everyone is just gonna disaster prep and then do relief.

However, if it's the zombie apocalypse, then everyone's going out with a gun in each hand and also some magic.

Thanks for the ask!
