I'm sorry you're getting some invasive/infantilizing comments about your pregnancy and love of horror. You are fully capable of taking care of yourself and knowing your own limits, and it's no one on the internet's business to be questioning what you should and shouldn't do while pregnant. I wish you and the baby well!!

Calling Mother a love/hate film makes total sense. It’s SO anxiety inducing. I understand how it could trigger people. I love the themes it explores.

Thank you for speaking out about Jeepers Creepers, MM, and Lost Prophets. Hollywood has this seedy side where pedophiles are able to continue to work with children. It's disgusting. I support your decision completely!

I feel like the first orphan movie could also be potentially triggering/sensitive to people who are pregnant, especially that first scene.

100% agree on Jeepers Creeprs. There’s a suspense movie I haven’t seen and will NEVER see, not because it’s a bad movie but because it’s one of my BIGGEST fears. It’s called Awake (2007) It’s about a man who goes into surgery and while he’s supposed to be unconscious, he feels EVERYTHING that the doctors are doing to him and they unfortunately can’t tell that he’s in pain feeling everything. Based on a true story. I just refuse to see it lol

Incident in a ghostland main actress had an accident while filming that scarred her face. She sued the director and production company.

Agreed. There are two areas where there is NO redemption for me with an artist. One, pedophelia, and the other domestic animal abuse. I will not support nor watch and/or listen to anything these deviates create.

girl dont feel bad!! im glad u know what u need and are able to find it!! sensitivities change throughout life anyway, and there are tons that i loved and i just cant do them again. its very sad but thats part of life and being this into anything

Just had my first baby in July & during my pregnancy my grandmother kept telling me I was going to actually curse my child because I was going to see X in theatres while visiting my family in Vegas. I watched Ghostland for the first time during my pregnancy and it was one of the best films I watched this year lol during pregnancy I had more of a strong aversion to sex scenes in films and tv and would actually gag . But I’m surprised you mentioned Mother! Because that was one I couldn’t bear to watch during pregnancy and even now postpartum. It gives me such anxiety my breathing changes

I saw Hereditary the day I found out I was pregnant and it hit me REAL hard and it's still the scariest movie to me. I read the In the Tall Grass novella while pregnant, also a bad time. And a friend just described a screen from Witch when I was 6 weeks along and still have yet to see it. Being pregnant and then having a child changes ones perspective dramatically.

I just want to say, I never really watched Horror before I started watching this channel. I'm really branching out now with old horror or PG13 or light r movies. Thank you for making me feel like watching light horror is ok, that I don't have to love it all to still like horror.

Love that you mentioned Jeepers Creepers on this list. I too saw the first one at a time where Salva’s crimes weren’t common knowledge or widely publicized and were something that required lots of online digging to uncover. It was some time after the release of the second one that I found out, and at that point completely separated myself from anything Salva ever did (or ends up doing in the future). I don’t own any JC movie in my collection, nor will I ever support one. As a single parent of one somewhat young child and one very young child, this is a hill I’m willing to die on no matter how many toxic internet trolls who aren’t bothered by Salva’s repugnant past try to insult me about it.

I have a toddler and can no longer watch Pet Sematary because of THAT scene. Pretty much anything where a child gets hurt is a no go for me now, and I still love horror. I also haven't been able to go back to Handmaid's Tale since I got pregnant over 3 years ago.

I completely agree with you on the separating the "art from artist" I'm just reminded of how gross they are whenever I consume any kind of media that they have now tainted. Also "No judgment" and that's the reason I'm here because so many other people who love films and/or horror are just toxic. I love your videos!

I couldn't watch horror while pregnant, but I love horror all the same since I've had my kids. I actually would binge AHS while I fed my first baby. 😅 I still can't do horror movies with kids and am more sensitive to SA now. However, there's so many good movies without that stuff. It's different for everyone!

When my mom was pregnant with me, the first time she felt me move was when she watched Saw for the first time. She started me young :)

I get "how does being pregnant change your view?" but "SHOULD you be watching horror?" is a bit ridiculous, lol

I would throw Roman Polanski in there with Victor Salva. He made some really good horror too (Rosemary's Baby, Repulsion, etc), and it was undeniably infuriating when I found out what Roman did. It also seems like some people want to give Roman a pass compared to Victor. Victor's movies were B movie material, but Roman's movies were "art". They're both garbage people to me though.

Also that Ghostland movie, the child actress got injured during the shooting. Think she has a scar on her face now :/

I am a huge horror movie fan. I love horror, always have and always will. Your intro reminds me of when my grandmother told me to stop watching horror movies while pregnant. I kinda listen to her and only watched thriller/ easy to watch/silly horror movies, stayed away from disturbing, psychotic and demented movies lol. I love my grandma and she was kinda of right.

I love that you recognize and set your boundaries. Even though I’m not making content for a channel, it helps me not feel pressured to watch horror movies outside my own boundaries.

I think it’s great to understand one’s limitations, and I appreciate your honesty in sharing especially given you’ve already gotten some comments about it. You’re also very considerate in how you get that horror you’re no longer into would appeal to others. Thank you for sharing, and good luck with the pregnancy!

I can totally relate to this video, I never hear anyone else mentioning how pregnancy affects their love of horror movies lol. I remember with my first pregnancy I tried watching Excision and couldn’t even finish it. Love your videos and congrats on your baby!

I like your list and TOTALLY RESPECT your boundaries!!! 💖

You’re not alone at all. I can’t separate art from the artist because we vocalize our agreement or indifference with our money and support. There is no movie or song I like enough to throw money at a bad person.

I totally understand the change in your tolerance for certain horror. My bday is Halloween, so I’ve always loved horror movies. I can’t recall if I was sensitive about pregnancy/body horror while pregnant. I don’t think I was. However, after my baby was born things changed. I absolutely had no ability to tolerate any horror/movies involving young children being hurt or scared. It took me until my daughter was about 8-10yo for that visceral disgust to fade completely. As my daughter got older, and I slowly exposed her to certain horror movies she now loves them too! She’s 17yo now and we just went and saw, “Smile,” together. She also raved about Barbarian, but I haven’t seen it yet. So, congrats on your pregnancy! Maybe you’ll get lucky like me and end up with a buddy to watch horror with in a few years! 👻😄

Great video as always!!! Love this channel so much 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

I love The Collector and The Collection. 2 of my fave movies

I love those videos you make especially. I remember your video about movies you'd never watch or most horrible, and you talking about how people in the horror fan community are so judgy about people who only watch 'softer' stuff, or no exploitation horror etc. and I've always felt bad about that bc there's a lot of stuff I can't watch. And I felt so validated and less alone after that. so thank you for talking about this! And also addressing MM etc. I love that. I also CAN NOT and will not seperate art and artist (esp. when they are still alive). So, to sum it up, thank you and lots of love 💜💜💜

Thanks! An interesting post for sure. As a lifelong lover of pre-code horror comics where did you find that way cool shirt? 🎃

I was still happily watching horror movies while pregnant but then once my child was born I wasn't able to watch most horror until a year or so later. It was wild. I was so upset by everything.

Definitely a very interesting scenario you find yourself in, I’d never thought about the physical and psychological effects of horror content on a pregnant person, so you’re in for a wild ride! Anyways I was wondering, don’t you think, a couple years from now, when you’re not pregnant anymore and all the “experience” has passed you’ll be able to watch all of these again? Or are these “NO” for life? I couldn’t imagine thinking “I’ll never watch these movies I enjoyed EVER again” so very curious on what you think of it? Maybe someday you’ll be able to handle them better? Or it’s a hard no? 😮

I don't think I could watch Pan's Labyrinth again because of the ending. 😢

The guy who did Jeepers Creepers did a movie called Powder before the JC films. Now I did watch it, trying with an open mind but I knew his history going into it. And you can tell his interests he is into and I won't even go into it. If you've seen it, then you know. But I will never watch Powder again or any of his other films. Not even if you paid me. Look I'm all for giving people a second chance but there are some crimes I can't ever forgive.

When I was pregnant back in 1985 the return of the living dead came out. I was working the front box and with all the screaming and moaning with the zombies it was so creepy and scary. That was the first movie where the zombies could talk and run as fast as living people. I was so freaked out every night lol🌸

i watched mother because of ur older video talking about the most disturbing movies, i defo agree that its very overwhelming and an introverts nightmare

I have my own (short) list. 1. The Girl Next Door. Extremely disturbing in a way I don't like. A real downer. 2. Trauma (2017). It's the Chilean film. I'm surprised it isn't talked about as much... yeah, this was too much. I watched it all the way through, and I don't regret it, but I have no need to subject myself to that again. 3. Hmm I don't think this counts as horror, but it's horror adjacent. Irreversible. Not only was it disturbing, but I HATED it. I applaud the techniques used, but it made it impossible for me to understand what was happening.

"Sensitive Sarah" is great! Embrace it... Dig that your video offerings have a touch-of-VLOG lately... Wishing you well.

Hey Sarah ! Have you done "Crowhaven Farm" yet? It's truly one of the most frightening films I ever watched as a kid (Actually a TV movie). In the highest grade of tv horror movies, more like a Witchy chiller-thriller. Kinda hard to get hold of in the UK but should easy be able to view it on any media in US...🤔

One horror movie that continues to give me chills is Inside the original movie. I love every horror movie and don't get disturbed by anything, yes j already watched human centipede 2, a serbian film, etc. But didn't get disturbed by them but I did feel scared over Inside and how vulnerable a woman can be.

As an aunt, I can't imagine ever watching Dumplings and I've never been pregnant. Kid stuff has always disturbed me but now that I'm an aunt, it's on a whole other level.

Judging someone for watching horror while pregnant is just bizarre to me. like what

Since I've had my daughter, I cannot watch certain horror movies anymore! Even A Quiet Place 2 where I thought the baby was in danger, I really couldn't handle it! It's so bizarre how kids affect you, I never used to flinch and now I'm so sensitive to it all

I've been just rewatching your older videos lately cause I've been bored and boom, you upload a new video, exactly what I needed! Thanks for the frequent uploads! :D

love you sarah! you’re videos always make me feel so comforted and safe. i’m so happy for you i know you’re gonna be the best mom ever ❤️ 🫂

When I was about 8 months pregnant I went to see the first Annabelle movie in theatres not really thinking anything of it and it wasn’t super scary or amazing but that scene where she was stabbed in the stomach shook me lol. I literally looked down and my stomach then looked at my husband and we both just said damn 😅 Ever since having my two sons I struggle with anything to do with kids and violence.

This makeup with the light brows is just 🙏👌🙌

hey, thanking the algorithm for introducing me to this channel :) subscribed!

I always find this topic so interesting, because one person's "never watch again" can be another person's absolute fave. For example, I really like Dumplings! Seen it multiple times, and I'm so happy that it's unlikely that Hollywood will ever touch it. They better not🤭🥟 The movie I haven't been able to make myself watch twice is Midsommar. Awesome, very cool, but has my **specific** triggers in it so I saw 1/4 of it behind my hands lol. I want to change that this year...I think I can do it

Mother! made me so uncomfortable but, in a beautiful way. Then literally as soon as I got pregnant and had my daughter I get goosebumps every time I even think about it. I can’t ever watch it again.

I watched nightingale when I was pregnant and man that scene with her husband and baby still haunts me.

This was such a good list! I'm not a person that wants children but I find it really interesting the way that pregnancy can affect your preferences for things like horror movies. It'll be interesting to see how your opinions change once you do have a tiny human

I'm glad you brought up the Jeepers Creepers controversy(reality) because I hadn't known until, I think, this year! I also draw a hard line with things like that. The idea of separating art from the artist shouldn't be a hard one with topics like these.

I had the same experience with Mother. I actively seek out disturbing movies, specifically horror, so it was right up my alley. However, it got to me on a completely different level. I think only a couple other movies made me THAT physically and mentally anxious, and not in an enjoyable way at all. I actually had to stop it at one scene to catch my breath. I would like to revisit it at some point, since it's been quite a few years, but I don't know if I'm ready to put myself through that again.

While this is definitely not horror related, this does remind me of the story my mom gave me when I was a baby. Back in the day before VHS became a thing, sometimes Disney would re-release their movies into theaters and my mom took me to see Bambi when I was a baby (I am her first born). My mom hadn't seen the movie yet either. Well that famous death scene actually traumatized my mom and made her cry (she was only 21 at the time so she was still young herself). My mom was a lot more emotional when pregnant and still had those issues after becoming a mother, she did say there were certain things she couldn't watch anymore.

When I heard the title ‘Dumpling’ I think ‘That makes me think of that wild short I saw a while back’ and then when you mentioned The Three Extremes I realized I’d actually seen that collection! I forgot the name of the collection.

I feel you. After I had my kid, watching any movie regarding a de@th of a child causes me a lot of anxiety. Hereditary was a blow to the chest.

Collector needs that trilogy 🔥

Luv the eyeliner❣️🖤

I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA SAY MOTHER! 😭 it’s one of my favorite movies of all time but totally understandable that you would put it here

My “never watch again” movies would be sleepers, and the girl next door. Both are unfortunately VERY true, and very depressing to know that humans could do that to other humans.

My horror watching changed as a Dad after the kids were older. I got rid of my Horror VHS as the covers were very graphic. My wife watched whatever she felt like when pregnant and no harm was done. Later as the kids got older they figured out what horror they liked. Awesome Channel.❤

Omg!! It’s been a while since I’ve revisited your channel (cuz y’know life gets cray cray) and to hear you say “ever since I got pregnant” as soon as the video started made me squeal 🥰 Congrats to you guys!! 🖤

I'm really glad to hear the updated thoughts on Mother! - admittedly when I was new to your channel I watched your review of it and was really off put by the review (I'd seen it in theatres, and am an introvert who also struggles with anxiety, and at the time I felt like it wasn't fair to blanket statement say that if you have anxiety you shouldn't watch it. I understand that it was a very visceral reaction for you though). It's one I've really gone back and forth on if I'm ready to rewatch it myself.

I still tell people about mother to this day because of your channel even though I know I’ll never be able to watch it because it’s fascinating in concept to me from your description but literally too terrifying to fathom sitting through in entirety

I saw Incident at a Ghost Land a while ago, and it was really well done, but it’s obviously VERY disturbing. I actually rewatched this movie which I never do because it was just so different, so it’s definitely understandable as to why u ain’t watching this movie again. That first twist was so insane, but yeah…it’s a lot.

Mother! is the movie I never want to see again either. It's incredibly upsetting to see this one character go through such unimaginable horrors and acts of depravity with absolutely no positive resolve whatsoever. I get what the film was going for but it's not something I would ever put myself through ever again.

I thought NordVPN was a horror movie for a sec after looking at the timestamps names 😭😭

I played "Amnesia" 1 while pregnant with my 2nd. Admittedly, I paused and saved at moments when it became "too much", but I am a lover of horror, since I was 5, and for me I knew what I could (and could not) handle at the time. We are all different, we know our limits. ASK me to play Amnesia now and I'd tell you "hell no", I tried and couldn't make it past 30 mins, 10 years later. A true testimony to the fact that we all change, and age doesn't make a different at all lol.

victor did his time and now he is free to do what he wants i respect him

Hi, could you recommend some movie trigger warning sites?

A woman on the brink of motherhood...... Say no more.

I totally agree about the collector! I think it is a great concept but it was so disturbing to me that I will never watch it again.

I can see that you’ve got many more dvds, you should do a collection update soon !

It’s crazy cause I just watched both movies the “collector and the collection” last week because of your Recommendation 😘

Honestly, pregnancy horror is a genre I will probably never touch. Maybe it's that I'm ace, maybe it's cause I have a slight fear about childbirth, maybe it's something else entirely. I just never liked the idea of that. It feels... wrong to watch.

Yessss! This was the video I wanted. Also, Inside was overwhelming and I'm not pregnant. It was a bit much for me.

Off topic but I hope you keep up the natural brow trend! You’re pulling it off so well!!

Have you seen requiem for a Dream? I’ve always wanted to hear your opinion on that one! Like for years I’ve been hoping you’d talk about it and you’ve mentioned it a couple times but never really went into depth about your opinions on it

That ad segue was seamless damn

With movies like mother I found the subtitles are helpful for getting the meanings. For example the characters aren't called by their actual titles in the movie. So while you can see in the credits it's easier to get out pin the first watching if you know who they're supposed to be while the movie outs playing

I appreciate your opinions and can totally understand. We watch horror films for fun and entertainment, if you can’t get that from a movie there’s no point in watching it no matter how good it is or how many people love it. It’s great that we all have different tastes and comfort levels in media.

I think I will never watch Aster again. It's weird. I can't even put my finger on what it is that unsettles me so much . Midsommer was so different from Hereditary, and yet, it's the same ambiance, like an aftertaste, that I couldn't get rid of for ages. In the theatre, I felt fine, but the films repeated on me like I'd swallowed a whole garlic clover raw, but for months .

I saw Mother! on an airplane. I hadn't heard anything about it and was genuinely rocked by it and on the verge of an anxiety attack- which is a reaction I seldom have to movies. Being stuck in a small seat with a bunch of strangers trying to hide my distress was the absolute woooorst. I do still love the movie though. I think it's heartbreaking and I unfortunately resonated heavily with the relationship dynamic.

The Collector (2009) has probably my favorite alternate ending of any movie ever put on a DVD. It's hilarious.

i like how while you wont rewatch these movies again you still mention what is good about them. show appreciation for the art. while for different reasons I have come across horror flicks that were a one time watch only. either too disturbing or crappy plot or bad ending etc.

Can I ask what "teeth" means as a content warning? Is that like trauma involving teeth (like pulling without anesthesia, breaking teeth) or is it something else?

I'm generally not very sensitive to things but Mother! was the most anxiety inducing movie I've ever seen so that is also on my will not watch again list

I’ve seen a lot of the movies on the most disturbing list and I agree Mother was one I will never watch again. The feeling I felt after the movie and the way the scenes stuck with me was the worst.

you should go see don't worry darling, I saw it today in the theater with my mom and really liked it!

Thanks Much !

Absolutely agree with "Incident in a Ghostland". I went in knowing nothing and it really bothered me

One synonym I like for "disturbing movies" is "extreme cinema." It may be common for movies to show situations that would be extreme in real life, but in the context of the horror genre the label becomes much more specific.

Mother! is really messing with my head, it is very intense and gets even more intense near the ending.

I was surprised to not hear you mention Hereditary, although I know you've said you want to re-watch it one day.

My tolerance for horror has changed as I got older. The last one I saw in a theatres was years ago. I walked out of it within 20 minutes. I can no longer watch them in theatres or TV. Only on a pad where I can pause, cover the screen and mute so I can get through it. I love the thrill of horror but I must be in control of how I view them.

The changeling is one of my faves but now having a child of my own it‘s harder to watch because of the little boy and the daughter.

I’m still mad at this one youtuber who made a video about disturbing films that just casually showed the ending of Inside right when I was getting really interested to check it out. Dude didn’t even talk about the spoilers but just casually showed that in the middle of all the other clips in the background. I should still probably check out the movie though.

I didnt know about the Lost Prophets thing until this year :(
