It Was The Boogeyman.

“The point of horror is to survive” “the point of horror is to be doomed” maybe the point of horror is to cum

[Video description: security footage from a haunted house, with a scary masked figure standing in the corner. A young couple walks by, and the figure pops out and brandishes an axe. The couple is frightened and back away, until the man shoves the woman towards the masked figure and runs away as she cowers on the floor. After a few seconds, the woman stands up and stares around the corner after the man in disbelief. The woman and the masked figure exchange a look, then the camera zooms in on the masked figure offering the woman the axe and her accepting it. They both take off in pursuit of the man.]

video description forgets to add the fact that the girl lets her hair out of the ponytail she had as she accepts the axe. girly was out for blood

@onegoodscare

all slasher killers know and hang out with each other blah blah blah whatever what they don't tell you is all FINAL GIRLS know and hang out with each other nancy thompson and kirsty cotton are pen pals since middle school and ash vs evil dead ash and halloween 2018 laurie go to bingo together. if you even care

who wanna come over and clap when bad things happen in horror movies with me

oh you mean with hands

not ruling anything out

Spent the last four hours or so starting on a new project: mapping the locations of famous horror movies set in America. It’s a work in progress, y’all’ see more when I’m done.

this is like when the RAF tried to figure out where to armour their bombers by looking at the distribution of bullet holes; the empty area on the map is where nobody lived to tell the tale.

It follows population density pretty closely except that the desert Southwest is over represented. Is that because it’s close to Hollywood? Cheap to shoot in? High density of chupacabras?

That’s just where the spooky is. Everything else is just noise from large populations.

Since @argumate​ brought this back, here’s what the map looks like today:

I started adding any horror movie at all, not just well-known ones. Also, it’s global now!

@cominyern​ Subgenre! 

It lets you look at some cool regional trends, like how ghosts are huge in New England while aliens and vampires have a cluster in the Southwest.

that the original had a lot of black in Pittsburgh is unsurprising, given where a certain George Romero came from, but it now has an interesting relative density and variety.

(i blame the Tom Savini practical effects school in Monessen, personally)

I wish this was an interactive map I want to find and watch my “local” horror movies!

Ask and you shall receive! Here’s a link to explore the map for your local horror movies!

I LOVE IT

“how can a horror movie be comforting” sigh……. u wouldn’t get it

hate whenever mfs in horror media are like “what was that noise…” bro you and i both know its creatures

British horror: oh fuck me. please tell me thats not a ghoul

so i just learned that people fucking dove inside a god damn iceberg and good to know that even for cave divers, who in my opinion are already a special kind of unhinged, and i say that with all affection, there are people even more unhinged than that

I was going to post some Choice Horrifying Quotes from the article, but turns out the whole thing is a horror story and i’m just.

the fact that they got trapped and pulled in and thought they might die three times and were still like “hey what if we do one more” and only didn’t die because they decided to have a meal first??

#//juri speaks#look. i love caves. but there is no fucking way#also not to relate everything to my current hyperfixation but. this could EASILY be a tma episode 

yeah you wouldn’t need to change anything for this to be a TMA episode i absolutely agree, the damn thing already tried to kill them three times

okay guys u gotta read it. I was making highlights but it turned into a summary. still. read it. so worth it.

Ok so two people sink down to look around. Jill and her partner. First glimpse of horror (lots and lots of sea creatures) happens. But everything is pretty and they continue on

That’s the sound of their way in collapsing btw.

They find a way out. And then proceed to dive in again

they get out again.

The photos are sublime. So next day, Wes decided, hey, i want to go with you. Remember the camera i tested? We’re going to take even better pictures with it.

so they dive

and the current picks up again

Dude.

They got sucked in, obv. Water pouring down, the three try to get out. Fail. There’s no way up.

And then Jill decides to show human determination and ingenuity. Holy shit.

They get out. They see the boat with the science team, reaching for them. They’re late for two hours, but alive.

i did not manage to find the iceberg photos, but her other stuff is breathtaking

these photos are from some of her other cave dives

She’s beyond insane, she flat out has a deathwish.

@onegoodscare i hope this haunts ur dreams enjoy 🤗

I love horror that's nasty and bloody and weirdly sexual. Sorry. Like it's my fault

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

horror that engages in shock value for shock value’s sake > stuff that’s about how demons are no match for the love of a family

Tragic that to a whole bunch of people “horror” just means “slashers and haunted houses” and not a wide range of fascinating stories and subgenres that explore humanity 

by far my favorite thing anybody has said on the internet
