Black Phillip is, literally, the horror GOAT.

I swear i haven’t been legitimately scarred by a horror movie since hereditary. Not to say i haven’t loved some since it’s just that’s been the scariest imo

To quote the greatest horror movie tweet of all time: ‘My 12yo is into scary movies but complained they aren't scary enough so we just watched The Descent and wow you don't always know when you fuck up as a parent but this was a big one.’

karsten is looking so french rn

i love that karsten is describing all these horrifying movies while a gromit mug vibes in the background

I immediately knew this video had something to do with the Long Legs hype lol

first movie to ever fuck me up was the wizard of oz because the witch straight up tells dorothy she’s going to kill her and i hadn’t even fully grasped the finality of death yet due to being super young. i can’t say being traumatized by the wizard of oz is an original experience tho. i love horror now but that green freak still sends a shiver down my spine

The Wailing scared me, deeply unsettled me, and in a semi-related way, made me question my faith, genuinely. I adore it!

I don't think any movie has scared me as much as Inland Empire

i don’t get scared easily but Requiem for a Dream terrified me in a way that made me never want to watch it again

"Come and see" 1985 for me

I agree with The Ring, Hereditary, and Skinamarink. I would add Martyrs, Antichrist, Lake Mungo, A Tale of Two Sisters, and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

Pretty out-there movie, but Lake Mungo. Horrifying movie. Had an existential crisis that lasted hours because of that movie ngl

Weird pick but the lighthouse is one of those movies that Ive only watch during a storm/power outage when I don’t have internet and I always tend to forget how unnerving it is

To me it was Lake Mungo. I'm not easily scared, but that movie caught me off guard, I was afraid to turn off the lights at night for weeks

In my opinion, Fire Walk with me is one of the most terrifying movies ever. I’m surprised you didn’t put it in the list considering how you’ve reacted to the film.

Talk to Me got me frigged up

0:32 Oldboy. That's all I gotta say.

Inland Empire and Funny Games, two great films but ones I have absolutely no desire to rewatch, deeply disturbing stuff.

I know it turned into a bit of a meme when it was released due to all of the attention it got, but Blair Witch Project is a legitimately scary movie. Also, your sister has a point, Uncut Gems might not technically be a horror movie, but watching it is every bit as stressful as any horror movie.

The original Suspiria has such a chilling soundtrack to it, and just the way that Argento used the green, blue, and red lights- it felt more sinister.

The original Ring (Ringu) has the creep factor up to 100. The remake is just as good in its own right, a rare thing.

Funny games is a great pick. I have never wanted to throw up while watching a movie until funny games

Barbarian was the last one that really got me, watched it in an empty theater at the tail end of a month long road trip while I was staying in an Airbnb

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is surprisingly scary, especially for being 50 years old

the ring also fucked me up as a kid. gave me nightmares and made me afraid of tvs. i highly recommend a full watch, it holds up and i think you’d love the cinematography.

nice mustache karsten

As a big family guy. Skinamarink made me genuinely tear up listening to the kid cry… I can watch as many random slashers I want and it doesn’t really do anything to me (maybe I’m wack) but bro hearing a kid cry while not having anyone to defend them is literally devastating to me

The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007). I'd like to un-see that one.

some people will mock me, but horror is my favorite genre and the film that still haunts me every time is Coraline. It's one of my favorite films ever but oh my god it is so specifically everything I'm afraid of.

I know many people talk shit about how pretentious it is, but some of the imagery in Begotten has really seared itself into my head

the ritual (2017) had some genuinely scary moments in it that not a lot of movies have been able to replicate

I watched Skinamarink with my friends who didn’t take it seriously , as a result they thought it was trash, saying “oh nothing is happening this is stupid” basically laughing at it. I on the other hand fully immersed myself in the film and found it genuinely terrifying.

"My sister thinks Parasite is a horror movie" she's right!!!!!!

the ring, the grudge and the others fucked me up as a young adolescent

i literally JUST bought tickets for longlegs lmaoooo

Come and See, Fire Walk With Me, Hereditary, Irreversible, The Witch - all films that really rocked me

The Ring is horrifying… I saw it at 8 and have been messed up since

Kiyoshi Kurosawas films like Cure and Pulse and most recently Chime, have all scared and disturbed me in a way no other movie can at all. Highly reccomend if you haven't seen them.

Haha you had me with "Old", i was genuinely shocked when i heard you mention that😂

For me itz Skinnamarink, Noroi The Curse, Lake Mungo, The Fourth Kind and The Last Shift

I know it’s not technically horror but The Zone of Interest

The Ring scared the hell out of me when I was in college.

Thirteen Ghosts is not a particularly great movie but the concept of the house and the look of the ghosts with the strange editing was pretty nightmare fuel as a kid

These may not all be my favorites but the films that genuinely scared me/made my stomach drop are: Talk to Me Midsommar (adam warlock stuffed with hay fucked me up) The Babadook The Conjuring Funny Games (the scene after the gunshot is one of my favorite scenes in film) Coraline

Love these sit down vids

Onibaba is one of those older movies that I can appreciate for how often I still think about shots in it, but it didn't do anything for me at the time

Used to be a huge wuss until I got into horror around 14 years old, and the first one that got me was Evil Dead (2013). Also watched Sinister not long after and these two are still prob the scariest horror movies for me. Hereditary comes close but these days it takes a lot to genuinely scare me. Hope seeing Longlegs in theaters (probably high af) will live up to the trailers

Last film to get me close to the feeling of scared was Barbarian, specifically the first half. She discovers a secret door in the basement that leads to a mysterious dark tunnel, that being unnerving as is, she discovers a little bit into the tunnel another hidden door that leads down a stone staircase that seems to go down forever into the darkness. With the music score and performance of that scene, it was legit unsettling with the mind racing trying to think about where that tunnel goes and what could be down there. The reveal might kill the film for some but i enjoyed it.

would have loved for this to be a main channel vid with editing so we could see what ur referencing while you talk about it ]

First Reformed ruined my entire week in the best way possible

spit out my drink when you mentioned OLD

Insidious 1 fucked me up & I actually fainted in dark bcoz I think I was seeing faces in dark that's how much it ruined me for a while but now I look back on it as a corny horror movie which had really good jumpscare for its time

Honestly, I barely get terrified by horror movies but... Inside(2007), Martyrs(2008) were something else. French Cinema is incredible fr

Loved this. Thanks for making it.

One of the creepiest and most fascinating horror films is Vampyr (1932). It's very surreal and feels like some arcane creation, as though you've stumbled across the real tape from The Ring.

when u talked about just passively experiencing The Ring, i remembered that Psycho actually prevented me from sleeping at night… i was at universal studios the year before and all i saw was the IMAGE of the knife and the iconic score… that was enough to give me nightmares 😭😭

Besides Hereditary and paranormal activity (childhood trauma) I would say Incantation (2022) and When Evil Lurks made me shit my pants.

I watched Lake Mungo for the first time last year and it made me feel like a kid watching a horror movie for the first time. Absolute nightmare imagery, and incredibly sad as well. The mockumentary style really contributes to the scares as well.

Not a horror movie, but no movie has ever messed me up like “irreversible” did. That movie was truly traumatizing

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 1997 film 'Cure' is a deeply unsettling, but brilliant, watch.

I was literally looking for a video like this 2 weeks ago i’m boutta binge all of these

the perfect kurst drop for tonight, the intro bit had me chuuucklin

I watched “Splice” when I was like eight years old because my parents had DVR recorded it to watch themselves and I was home from school that day. I can’t return to it to this day, and seeing images of the creature still makes my skin crawl. Worst part is, I’ve heard the movie is garbage, so if I sucked it up and watched it again as an adult I would probably get over my discomfort.

Climax scared the shit out of me when i first saw it, and a lot of that has to do with my own personal shit. Also, Possessor was really disturbing and scary as well. I dont think anything has ever scared me the same as when I was like 6 and watched Nightmare on Elm Street though.

The Wailing (2016) terrified me the first time and it became my all time fave horror film. Incantation (2022) might be the most recent horror film that got under my skin.

Pendas Fen is one that really disturbs me to be honest, a must watch if you love horror, very underrated

I almost find it weird that you didn't include Lake Mungo, it would seem like a movie for you. Judging by watching ur channel 4 a while haha;))

I know it’s not horror but signs had some good tension build up and since I was only 5 when I watched seeing the Alien found footage at the birthday party scene it stuck with me lol

Even though The Ring had a number of creepy scenes and effective jumpscares (everyone always references the closet frame), what really got to me was just 'The Tape' and the footage on it. I remember watching that, with the subtle little noises it had, and all I could think about is "I shouldn't be watching this; this feels wrong", which absolutely feeds into the theme or premise of the film itself. I was so paranoid about receiving 'the call'. That movie MESSED me up as a teenager and I had to sleep with the light on for months. The Grudge also did similar things for me as a teen.

I saw The Ring when it came to Sky Movies in like 2004, I was 8 years old and I CANNOT watch that film to this day. Scarred me as a kid.

Suspira is the movie that messed me up and made me realize every other horror I've seen will probably not be as grotesque as suspira

Don't doubt yourself Karsten, I have gone on record as saying The Witch is the scariest film I've ever seen. Watching it high nearly killed me.

You're experience with The Ring perfectly mirrors my experience with Alien. Threw it on when I was 7 watched until the chest burster and had to leave, vividly remember the wya I felt that night

I remember Finchers Zodiac scaring me, especially the basement scene made me feel uncomfortable for a while (coming from someone who isn't easily scared by horror films, I think its the fact that the story actually happened is what made it all the more scary)

I’m actually rlly interested in whatd you think about the house that jack built, and I mean the horror and the way the scenes are when he kills. I know it’s corny at the end

This video is my favorite scary movie, the ending was especially a real shocker

The only movie that really creeped me out was "the entity" (1982). The idea of being invaded like that and being so absolutely powerless to stop it or fight it. The ambient noise/soundtrack that went with it scared me too. First time a movie ever made me scared of going to sleep that night 😂

The original Ringu disturbed me for a long time, and I was in my 30s 😂

Not necessarily a horror movie, but Tetsuo: The Iron Man is one of the only movies to make me deeply uncomfortable, so much that I hesitated rewatching it for 10 years.

Thank God there is still some love for Skinamarink.

Actually scary continued: The Evil Dead (2013) Hills have Eyes (2006) Exorcist (1973) Thirty Days of Night (2007) Hostel (2005) Insidious (2010) Nosferatu (2024) Get Out (2017) (1982)

Nothing has truly fucked me up as much as watching alien when I was young. Everything about it is just unsettling to the core

Kairo (2001) has the most bone chilling scene I've ever seen in my life IYKYK. The are other very scary scenes in it and it's generally a great movie (tho I didn't like the ending very much)

8:45 I’m not a slow paced kind of person but it’s definitely what makes this film cook as hard it does. Especially since it’s trying to give the vibe of a documentary with its naturalistic cinematography

To me The Wailing is the scariest movie I've ever watched. I think everybody's taste in horror and what is scary is derived from their childhood frights, for me the thing that really works in horror is the occult. Another thing I love seeing in horror movies is an unraveling story about events that happened in the past that are somehow related to the characters and the horrors that have befallen them.

Speaking of Onibaba, Kuroneko is pretty darn scary as well.

i’ve only seen the remake but funny games is really effective, some great scares & the ending where he’s staring actually make me skip the credits

i had a similar experience but w the grudge as a kid haha

Funny Games made me feel hopeless and empty in a way few other movies have

Skinamarink SHOOK me

Fear isn’t actually the primary emotional response, but I swear to fucking god nothing has ever ruined my day, just making me feel nauseous and depressed at how horrifying a film is than Snowtown (2011) (the Australian one about those Australian serial killers who hid their bodies in barrels in an abandoned bank)

The scariest experience I’ve ever had watching film, to this day, is actually the first time I watched 2001 when I was 14. On my own, in the middle of the night, having no prior knowledge of the film other than it was Kubrick and I liked the other Kubrick films I’d seen. Each time I’ve watched it since I’ve had a very different experience, even being bored a couple of times. But the ending of that film, in the bed with old Bowman, scared me so much I went into pure frozen survival mode, almost like a possum playing dead out of fear. The film has never scared me like that again, because I know what’s coming, but that one time, 2001: A Space Odyssey was the scariest film ever made by miles for me. Would love to know if anyone else has had this experience with it?

It may not be a horror film but Come And See really messed me up so I think it’s worth a mention.

I saw The Exorcist when it first came out in the theaters back in the '70s, and it scared the absolute crap out of me.

I screamed when he mentioned "Skinamarink" that movie haunted me. Such an underrated movie!

I have the most horrible experience with Eraserhead. Awesome movie.

Perfect blue had me shook

For me, it's really Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Cure" that is a cut above, at least in terms of films I've watched as an adult.

The way I heard a record scratch when u included Old
