The "Don t look up" movie was a little too real for me.
Man in the high castle.
Soma
Event Horizon
Wayward Pines.
For me it has always been the The Enigma of Amigara Fault ever since I read it.
It's just so unsettling to me I don't know why.
I love Junji Ito so much. That's not even his most terrifying story, just his most popular. Though I'm not complaining, it's a great story.
The Netflix show is actually pretty great if you haven't watched it. Though the first episode is the weakest.
Fwiw, I'm an artist and get a lot of inspiration from his works
Warning! Spoilers! I'd use the spoiler tag, but no matter how I do it (correct or incorrect), it doesn't show up for me.
Perfect Blue.
Not for the conventional murder or bad things happening, but the whole structure of not knowing what's real and what is just an illusion and not knowing how much time has passed.
Supersize Me
Wildbow has written some freaks doing freaky shit. Like, proper body horror.
Event Horizon is still mildly terrifying 25y later. Sunshine was pretty bananas too. Shout out to Alastair Reynolds Inhibitor series of books as well.
Hereditary really stuck with me after watching it—and I’m in my 30s. It would really get in my head when I was trying to fall asleep for at least 2 weeks. Would have to double check the corners of my ceiling.
Subnautica. Had to finish it in creative mode, it was a bit too much for me.

The deadlights in Stephen King's IT. ::: spoiler The scene where the turtle is dead hits me right in the existential dread. spoiler :::

SOMA. There were sections in the game that were scary, but the entire concept is really a mind melt. It's not like it's not a common theoretical question, but going through it step by step is another thing. And if you go to the home page of it and read some of the short stories, it really adds to the whole experience.
The Purge
I never finished resident evil 7 in VR.
The Road, the book, is the only book I've ever read that haunted me for a while after. Movie was a decent adaptation, but left some stuff out.
By a country mile the “best” book I’ve read. I think the film does an admirable job of staying within and delivering the message of the book without being “not suitable for release without cuts” in some territories. I mean the baby spit roast isn’t really something one can put to film and expect to get license to release everywhere around the world.
But funnily enough the book actually aims for, and IMHO hits, a completely different message than that of dread; for me, it makes me wholeheartedly appreciate the world, nature, and the good deeds we do for each other. It is also, and I’m aware I’m breaking no ground here, a treatise on love, fatherhood and courage. It makes me appreciate that, despite everything, we are still incredible blessed to live in today’s world.
It is quite simply sensational.
By the way, while very different in tone, Station Eleven really hit the same note for me; appreciate what you’ve got, it might just disappear.
I saw the 1982 version of The Thing when I was, like, 6 on HBO and had nightmares for almost a year. I’m 45 now, and that film still freaks me out!
When you were SIX!? C’mere…
(((HUGS)))
awww!
yeah, it really fucked me up. my poor little brother saw Poltergeist around the same age, and it fucked him up for years...
I watched return of the body snatchers when i was around 8. The movie itself doesn't scare me anymore at all, but the feeling i had when i had when i had to run home at night still haunts me.
Have you rewatched it recently? It freaked me out the first time but after that it felt more campy.
No, and now I won’t. It was just so perfect that I don’t want to ruin it.
The Suffering on the original Xbox.
I know it's mainly because I played it way too young but it still gives me creeps playing it as an adult.
The bathrooms... beware the bathrooms...
Yes! Loved that game so much.
I love horror and fiction since I was very young so it's very hard to make me feel uncomfortable but this short did it. I kept having nightmares about this for a week
It's like you know you're gonna die and there is nothing you can do but YOU have to give up.
