>>221750305Old horror icons were kind of cringe.

>>221750305There are some terrible girlfriends guys can have. Like horror cause it's so bad. lol
Who is scared of clowns? Is it just Americans? I remember reading some Jap gaming company found out Americans were scared of clowns so they put more of them in their game.
The current generations are too beta that the current horror icon is a woman
>>221750950I mean they were. An insane brain damaged guy wearing a face made of human skin screeching and brandishing a chainsaw? Why did horror icons get so goofy after Psycho?
What horrified people before Dracula and Frankenstein books? Ghost stories?
>>221750305>haha a guy with knife hands murdered a bunch of people!>haha a guy with a hockey mask murdered a bunch of people!>haha a guy with a ghost mask murdered a bunch of people!Boomers and Gen X single-handedly ruined horror. Millennials and Zoomers are reviving the genre
>>221750305>old horror icons A hotel>modern horror icons A creepy clown
>>221750602Man half of those are Stephen King fuck off.
>>221751130Witches? Succubi?
>>221751130Satan, oni, or whatever their religion's equivalent was.
>>221751174>I'm scared of talking to girls and being alone with my own thoughtszoomoids are cooked
>>221751325It's funny. Because people are still terrified by ghosts and Satan. Now and probably forever.They haven't been replaced by Art the clown or some shit.
>>221751174What kills me is this video is like 4:3 on a phone. That's the real horror here. Aspect Ratio in theaters near you Halloween 26

>>221750305>le spoopy clownthat's no better than the bottom row.
Stories from r/nosleep are pretty good and Im tired of pretending otherwise
>>221750305I saw this post on reddit too this morning.
>>221750305>>22175033910 years ago everyone was worshipping fags and trannies and all the music was either country imitating rap or mumble rappers talking about all the pills they were on. I think things have gotten much better than where they were culturally.
>>221750305women's fears changed with time and they're the target audience of the horror genre
I'll take bottom any day over the millennial horror of "shaky camera work" (found footage) and "aaaaahhhh scary racists!" (jordan peele movies)
>>221751647Wow my Cloverfield is sitting right next to me.
>>221750305monsters were given apologetic backstories so we became horrified of the incomprehensible, hallways and women.
horror has desensitized everyone so now you are here. This is the route it was always on.
>>221751703>right in front of my cloverfield dvd?
qrd on 'a room'?
>>221752357liminal space
>>221750339its kinda a weird coincidence that the only people thinking this are unsatisfied with their life and are generally unhappy people

>>221753484What the hell does this even mean lmao.
>>221751174The ghost mask one was supposed to be a parody, you illiterate pleb.
>>221750339for 5000 years and counting
>old horror icons
>>221751453i've read a few. it reminds me of when /x/ creepypastas became almost entirely about video games.it's the same old tropes, usually shit about an infinite desert or a spooky computer virus. like once or twice it would be an original idea but they just recycle or work in the same concepts.there's a ton of things you could write a horror story about, but it's like they all become variations on the same theme. maybe that's just because of the Reddit voting system, i dunno.
>>221750305
freddy kreuger and pennywise aren't scary if you're over 8 years oldchernobyl is scarier since it could actually happen
>>221750305Horror has always been a trash genre.The Exorcist and The Thing are the exception, not the rule.
>>221750602Carrie isn’t the monster in Carrie. Practically every other character is.
>>221750602you forgot>man is the real monster>a fish>a frog>a fly>a book>a dream>a writer>a psychiatrist>capitalism>fog>warwick davis as a rapper
>>221750305Blame peele for making horror genre politicalNow every horror villain is either racism sexism or other retarded political bullshit
>>221751130Frankenstein was 1818 and Dracula was 1897. That was peak Gothic Horror.Before that it would've been fairy tales and folklore (the kind the Brothers Grimm collated)
>>221751174boomers and gen x were afraid of serial killers because there were plenty of them back in those timesnowadays there are no serial killers so instead the biggest thing men and women have to fear is a bpd psycho bitch and a controlling guy respectively
>>221750305>what happened redditbrosRubber halloween masks aren't popular anymore
>>221750305 see this >>221750339 but I'll explain it in more detail:Older horror tapped into the zeitgeist of the age to tell fictional stories about real threats to society. Killers like Freddy and Pennywise played on societies fears of pedophiles, Jason and Michael Myers represented serial killers - real threats that actually exploded in the west after the automobile and atomization of society ushered in an era of psychopaths that had previously been kept in check by technological limitations and strong tight knit communities.Nowadays, the psychos and pedos have taken over every institution and they don't want to rile up the masses with fictional fables about real world threats. If horror today was as honest as it was before 2001 the main monsters would be analogies to mass immigration, guilt based mind control and surveillance, the killer/pedo being in charge of society, etc. But since our rulers don't want us to acknowledge that, they push fake and divisive stories, where we pretend it's your law abiding next door neighbor who is the problem because he's totally a racist or misogynist and you should oppose them!TLDR psy ops
>>221751519What is the dominant music genre today, K-pop?
BACK IN MY DAY
>>221755624It's still mumblerap.
>>221755120Chernobyl is a myth like Atlantis, bitch
>>221750305Are we pretending that the brainless 80's slop had any value or that people like Poe and Lovecraft and his circle didn't write stories about scary houses, chinamen, and trees?
>>221755303More than just that. Stories of vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and revenants have been around since forever. In fact, it sort if creeps me out that the oldest story we still have - the Epic of Gilgamesh - already makes mention of the dead returning to eat the living.
>>221755665And both mog current slop.Funny how instead of arguing in favor of your shit you can only attack what came before.>>221755745What's unbelievable to me is that noboDy is inventing fucking new monsters.In the 80s we had a new one every week. most of it sucked ass and were forgotten, but some of them emerged and became iconic.What's the excuse now?At elast rediscover some underused shit from legends and myths, like - dunno - a manticor.Stick a rake to redneck and invent the Rakeneck, throw in there some teen with big tits and be done with it.Or some space monster that isn't the goddamn xenomorph or predator
>>221755232>>warwick davis as a rapperKino!
>>221756008I’ve always thought that actual revenants are really underappreciated. We’ve got The Crow and a handful of Creepshow characters. I guess Jason’s also technically a revenant.
>>221756145Revenant is just a vengeful undead, which has margin to be cool, but its really nothing new. As you said Jason counts as a revenant.Crow wan't really a monster.I just want to get out of the vampire-werewolf-zombie-ghost swamp. And no, slight variation don't count. Wendigo are not really different from werewolvesJust invent some shit with a cool creepy/intimidating look, create some cool lore and rules and voilà
>>221756267Wendigo done properly are massively different than werewolves. I recommend the episode of Fear Itself called “Skin and Bones.” It caltures what King was going for in Pet Sematary better than any of the films have. It’s basically a demon that preys on misery. It’s eating you long before it’s even taken the first bite.
>>221756008>What's unbelievable to me is that noboDy is inventing fucking new monstersW-we have Four night's at freedies and M3gan
>>221750305Sonic.Exe movie when?
>>221750305Aren't you forgetting someone?
>>221756442I think people miss out on the fact that there’s a monster that doesn’t fit neatly into any of the classical categories in Obsession, and it never even appears in the movie. Whether it’s a Djinn, an alien, or some sort of extra-dimensional entity, some force is granting those wishes, and it’s not even actively malevolent. Hell, it doesn’t even seem to be maliciously compliant. No, it seems to be some vastly powerful entity that’s largely indifferent to the effects the wishes have, almost like it’s conducting some sort of psychological experiment. I’d go so far to call it cosmic horror that’s only slightly different than Lovecraft’s. To me, the single creepiest scene in the whole movie was when Bear called “Customer Service” and whatever he was talking to seemed like it could barely be assed to pay attention.
>>221756541I’ve never watched any of these. What’s the QRD on Art?
>>221756367I agree, but most of the times is just a bestial maneating shapeshifter
>>221756550Eh. There is no real monster there. Implied entity doesn't really count.Monkey Paw is a really trite idea. I've read the og short story, seen the simpsons' parody, seen at least a dozen movies based on it and Obsession was just the last one.I mean I liked Obsession, but it really doesn't bring anything new to the table.
>>221756566NtaMe neither but from what I could see it's just a supernatural thing butchering people... and that's all. And the design is lame.A friend of mine who is really into horror was lukewarm about it so I never bothered
>>221753610>i've read a few. it reminds me of when /x/ creepypastas became almost entirely about video games.You have to read the actually good ones from over a decade ago before the subreddit got flooded with mediocre writers. I recommend:>The Third Parent Quadrilody, which is "The Third Parent", "His Name Was Timmy Taffy", "Tommy Taffy's Twins", and "the Night I Met Timmy Taffy" by Elias WitherowSome of it was removed from reddit because it was too "dark" for reddit's safety guidelines, so you'll have to read it elsewhere. Utter masterpiece imo. It was so popular that it got a book, and they're currently making a movie about it>"Borrasca" all 5 parts. Part 5 is on another site iirchttps://old.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/TtJKQJEkDxThis one is a must read. It's more about the atmosphere and the tension than the actual horror, but it's legit incredible >"Dad Tapes" Series https://old.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/15EdBtEIPtThis one is a pretty good mystery horror series>How to Survive Hellhttps://old.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/6qCGa08hqkGory and atmosphere horror with a bleak tone>Feed the Pighttps://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/plw6dUB9erGory and atmospheric horror>Room 733https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/7U6uRLfpQjReally good>The Pancake Familyhttps://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/KSOnmWlXRIMore grounded than most stories>The Smiling Manhttps://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/Aco7xBunLKAnother fairly grounded one>Plot holeshttps://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/LOMk1VSjO5Cosmic horror with some cognitive hazard elements >Penpal series https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/hWXBjFoCwwA classic.

>>221756615I disagree. An entity giving out wishes with seeming indifference to their outcome is, while not exactly new at least insofar as it’s more in line with the traditional genie of the lamp, is definitely not something we’ve seen much. I’m intrigued by “Customer Service.”
>>221750305women are idiots and zoomers are feminized and testosterone free.
>>221755745>More than just that.everything you listed is included in what I said (fairy tales and folklore)
>>221756566He chop chop people and smear poo poo everywhere.
>>221756008>Funny how instead of arguing in favor of your shit you can only attack what came before.Almost as I told you that horror isn't a serious genre. Maybe expecting someone who thinks that nightmare on elm street mogs anything beyond a the contents of a latrine to pick up on that from a post calling seminal horror dating back to the 19th century invariably shit is too much to expect.
>>221755465>If horror today was as honest as it was before 2001 the main monsters would be analogies to mass immigration, guilt based mind controlClosest thing we got is chav-horror.>In a negative review, John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter cited the overtones of class warfare and poor timing, given the killing of Trayvon Martin.
>>221756795Wishmaster?
>>221757468You are doing it again, adding appeal to triviality.Create some good shit, like everyone before you, go on. Every generation did. Can't imagine a new alien horror, a new teenage stabber or a new cursed shit from beyond the grave?What's wrong about you?
The Twilight Zone has a few episodes where "Modern Horror icons" were close to the monster. The internet has become a world of cherry picking to prove your reality is real. No matter if it's real or not.I can basically take 5 clips from Spongebob that prove that Spongebob and Patrick are gay lovers. I can make TikTok and Youtube videos that are titled "Spongebob and Patrick are gay lovers and here's the evidence" and there will be people who just believe that you turn off Spongebob and Patrick is spongefucking Spongebob. They're rebooting Nightmare on Elm Street, there was a new season of a Pennywise miniseries a couple months ago.
>>221759580>They're rebooting Nightmare on Elm Streetugh
>>221750480good, fuck zoomers (their women are super easy)
Be he terrifier
>>221753194Wrong, faggot, I have a loving wife and a son (blonde, blue eyes) and I agree society is collapsing and a civil war will happen in my lifetime
>>221750305Old horror:>Scares children>Gives children nightmares >Scares animals New horror:>Cerebral>Have to be an adult to understand and fear>Children aren't even scared of it What happened? The world grew up and left your incel ass behind. Either grow up and act like an adult, or demand your heckin scary things that are designed to scare children lol. Your mentality is juvenile. It's time to grow up, incel.
>>221751453>>221753610>>221756682Why are you lying? I have read the stories, 99% of them are "I am le woman/weak man and an evil ghost is trying to break into my house at night and my backyard camera caught a glimpse of him! The twist? We thought it was a ghost but is actually a real man and men are evil!!!!!"Fuck you pieces of shit. Unironically 2 sentence horror is scarier with "God just announced limited spots left in heaven, parents start killing their children worldwide". That shit is way better than nosleep .
>>221759735Assuming true (even though it's obviously not), I cannot imagine raising my son to be fearful of the world he's in. That's child abuse that you're doing. Ironically you're making the world a worse place for your son. But then again, if you actually had children, let alone a mentality to score a wife in the first place, you'd realize why your post smacks of resentful, misogynistic, virgin lies.
HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO BE THE FUCKING OBSESSION BOARD
>>221756682Even most of your stories are "men are... Evil and hide very evil things! And families are also evil, there is nothing scarier than a nuclear family that makes pancakes!".>Inb4 anon you don't get itI get it, it is you who is missing the forest for the trees. Your horror stories real goal is demonizing men or worse, demonizing families. Because in your stories nuclear families, who are historically a happy group that raises healthy children and in modern society there are fewer and fewer nuclear families, is actually evil and scary
>>221756566Maniac undead clown who kills people in the most painful and brutal ways possible for no real reason.
>>221755465Good post
>>221755465Reminder that under the reality pill it's most likely your close friend or family members rape and/or abuse you. But that's an inconvenient truth. Media accurately portrays reality which is why such films are popular. It resonates with the experience of the viewers, who spread such feelings by word of mouth.
>>221759740All you've said is that this generation's adults are basically children and their shit doesn't resonate whit anyone normal>cerebralkek
>>221751130Before Gothic Fiction? Seneca's tragedies? Titus Andronicus?
>>221760011>Emily Wilson
>>221760009that's the opposite of what he's saying, rakesh.
>>221759887No? Did you even read the stories I posted?The Tommy Taffy series is about an inhuman horror that invades families and violates them physically, mentally, and psychologically while forcing them to address him as the patrinarch of the family, even though Tommy isn't even human.Dad Tapes is about literal fucking aliens. The cops were investigating and they were all mind broken by the telepathic abilities that the aliens had. The son picks up the case, but he gets mind broken through the evidence itself due to the cognitive hazards within itBorrasca is about a city wide sex trafficking ring that even the cops and judges are in onHow to Survive Hell is a hyper dystopian world that describes hell as a purgatory where there is no food and yet people still need nourishment to survive. And so a cannibalistic society of murderhobos has been established, which takes advantage of the fact that no one can truly die in Hell. Feed the Pig is about a man trapped in purgatory forced to undergo a series of horrific trials to escape and return it the real world.Room 733 is just a classic ghost + haunted house story.Plot Holes is about a guy who notices some discrepancies in reality. He and a friend investigate. But the universe notices and works to erase them before they can unravel the truth.Exactly THREE horror stories I listed were about normal men and women killing people. THREE. Pancake Family, Smiling Man, and Penpal. You didn't even fucking read the stories I listed because pushing your victim complex agenda was more important.
>>221759811See>>221760723
>>221760721You weren't saying anything, just taking pride in things that never happened
>>221760843you need to learn english at a better level. got i hate indians so much it's unreal
Monsters with great designs are scarier than these new wave psychological stuff. It is scarier than Hereditary or whateverr you zoomers like watching nowadays.
>>221750305Horror tastes change over time. Pic related. It was literally the big horror craze of 1845. The Victorians were pissing themselves over it.
>>221751174nigga, back in the 80s, the whole horror movie genre was slasher flicks because back then, there were lots of Serial Murderers out and about the place. Jeffery Dahmer, The Zodiac Killer, Gary Ridgeway, name it you have it.hat's the inspiration of the epoch.
>>221757585Harry Brown and Eden Lake are basically chav-horror.
>>221755640That's probably the most out-of-touch thing I've seen said about music.Then again, who's "in touch" with popular media anymore? As far as I'm concerned, mashups are the decade's defining music genre
>>221759409Customer Service isn’t diabolically compliant like Wishmaster. He’ll give you what you ask for without a twist. The only problem is that if, like Bear, you ask for something that's a logical contradiction, he’ll try to give you that, too, sort of like an Ai that renders results in reality. The horror is Obsession is the result of a bad wish, not a bad wish-giver.
>>221751343maybe they should make a horror movie about being bald so you can relate
is this movie the biggest buckbreaking /tv/ has received since joker 2?
>>221750339>film>tv>comic books>music>anime>society >literature>newspapers>magazines the internet ruined everything
>>221751453r/nosleep was good like, 15 years ago. coincidentally that's when 4chan was last good too.
>>221756541>gore pornthis shit is disgusting regret letting my friend talk me into seeing it
>>221759735We all believe you anon
>>221750305>what happened redditbros?looks like the new parents weren't alcoholics who hated their own lives taking it out on their children
