If y'all want a different means for scares...read some Thomas Ligotti. The man is brilliant and has enough short story collections that you can check them out without having to invest too much time.

Check out some foreign stuff, Japanese horror can get pretty creepy.

Also there's a manga titled Fuan no Tane(and Fuan no Tane plus) that is a bunch of short little tales that is best read at night. A lot of them are just creepy and nothing is really explained in them but some of the faces and ideas in those stories will just...you know what just read through it at night. In the dark. With no background noise, for me my mind began to wander with each story I read and the back of my neck started to feel funny and when I left the computer my mind kept thinking about the stories. Had to watch some cartoons to get my mind off it :laugh:. Not all of the stories are great but just keep reading them until you finish, each story is unrelated to each other and they're all like 3 or 4 pages long.

But that sounds like what you want, the type of real horror that will make you keep thinking about it. The kind of horror that has your imagination running wild when you're walking down a dark street at night or even when you're walking from the computer to your room in the dark. The kind of horror that follows you before you go to sleep at night, the kind of horror that makes you want to turn on the lights, the kind of horror that makes you constantly keep looking behind you, the kind of horror that makes you afraid to walk into a dark room in your house even though you know nothing is in there but your mind is tricking you into believing that you should be scared.

Were you high when you read them? :wtf:

I just read them all and that shyt was wack as hell. Not even scary just weird and nonsensical. :childplease:

The "Look" one was kinda cool.

The last movie that had me legit scared was the first half of Red State. That shyt had me bugged out.

it turned into a whole different movie once ATF showed up though, but I still enjoyed the movie all the way through

Also, the anime Higurashi When They Cry had me spooked. I haven't seen the second season but the first season was some creepy shyt.

Main thing I dislike about the genre is that they don't stray from the template of scared girls and men running. A lot of times, I'm thinking man if dude wasn't such a bytch he would do this or that. What I'm saying is most of these movies don't draw the viewer in and allow them to be immersed in the atmosphere of it all. Its just a bunch of gore and jump scares.

Higurashi and Elfen Lied weren't that scary. Rather, they are disturbing. I mean, who wants to see loli chicks getting butchered like pigs? :sadcam:

I had the same feeling with Battle Royale.

Anything with kids + murder is disturbing to me.

Cabin in the Woods straight called this out and got shelved for madd long before finally dropping. I love that movie even though it's not scary...it's the perfect satire.
