Thanks, got some valuable tips on writing horror. Might come in handy for my next book; my first one just got published and now I have to promote it.

“Rehabilitated” … wow.

"British football hooligans" 😆

Why do you keep using Trench Crusade minis when you never mention it?

Like the detective insight

It always a good time for scary monsters.

A lot of people due to D&D use and see monsters as mere obstacles rather than creatures that fill a role in a setting / world. All creatures in a setting should exist for a reason, and so long as you have a reason you'll be off to a good start when creating monsters.

Critique... This is an interesting and entertaining video, but not titularly, or opening claim- fulfilling. This is not a video on HOW to make monsters scary, nor is it applicable to any medium desired, such as for a novel or D&D campaign, etc. This isn't about worldbuilding either. "How to" videos (and such) are a step-by-step process to achieve a specific goal, not siting a laundry-list of previous topical examples. Examples are a "what" that reenforce the "how", not the how itself. Again, this is an entertaining and well-made video, but not a video that fulfills its claim. Maybe if you restructured it, then it may have been, but as is... it fails at its claims. Good luck with the channel.

warhammer fantasy mentioned raaaaah wtf is a broad fandom edit: I meant in a way that this is the first time I'm seeing someone bringing up warhammer fantasy in worldbuilding, it feels like I'm talking to a friend because I have all the 2nd edition supplements and I've lost count of how many times I read those books to get some inspiration

I made what would be considered a predator monster for my d&d game. it's biggest strength is also it's biggest weakness. It's basically a Ambush predator that uses shadows to attack, both physically and figuratively. It will attack from shows usually by teleporting into someones shadow and attacking them from behind, trying to trip them and gore them with it's horns. while in shadows it's also semi tangible (mechanics wise there is a 50%chance an attack on it will just go threw it). if it feels it might be in danger it will teleport to some other shadow and wait for a chance to attack again. the reason this is also it's weakness is because if it's forced into an area of bright light it can't more around as well, not being able to teleport, it's not longer stealth and basically a tall thin, horned humanoid that doesn't have eye

Wow, I can’t believe I’ve actually hit a lot of your points already with my own ideas. It’s overwhelming.😅 However, what if you have multiple monsters / supernatural killers in your story? Can you just reserve the slow build-up mostly for your main one?

Extra points for the Darkest Dungeon ambience in the background; well explained story too (RIP Jim Smith, I cried)

Excellent video dude! Keep it up and I’m sure your channels gonna grow in no time😎

bruh at the right time I lost focus and began to mess on my phone you snapped your finger and called for my attention, at 16:28 ... that was some serious horrific coincidence

when did Pirate software make a second channel?

his hair is GOATed

Well, you called me out in your closing statements. Good on you. I'm writing. Well, I'm plotting rn, but I'm getting there. Great video. Keep it up.

Poirot is Belgian, not French. That is well known and if you don’t know that you don’t get a like or follow.

Was the thumbnail a Hell Knight from Trench Crusade?

I don't know. Junji Ito is a pretty solid counter-example that the protagonist doesn't have to be that compelling for the story to work. Helps that his horror concepts and his visual execution of those concepts are so top notch, I suppose. But very few of his characters could carry a multi-chapter story.

De dechets et du sang... ...brulant... ...tus.... Of offal and of the blood... ...burning... ...still.... it is free with kindle unlimited it is a collection of English/French poems and short stories hope you like something if you read Here is one of the poems it is a poetic interpretation of head of a dead young man painting by theodore gericault Head of a dead young man Beneath a canvas coarse and crass, the head of a young man upon a cushion soft and of care; feminine chin; upon the lower lip the blood of God; fine nose; hair of an infant here...and...down there; upon his front, the sublime illumination, that descends intimately as though of ivory flame.... ...when, of lavender and of rose, ascending vaguely towards the exegetic darkness, the offal; disclosed thus, profound and grave, an immense lesion, as though of a dolourous ulcer...from where all comes...where all returns....

The problem is talespire it is not all in one. it is just a map and dice. That is why foundry is 100% better. When Menyr comes out it will put talespire in the dirt.

Gnome power !

Are those...WARHAMMER????

First time I hear someone saying that The Terror is their fsvourite piece of horrkr media! 🙌 Good to hear, i love that too, it's in my top five

I build monsters for my dnd campaign and its really cool seeing the different types you covered vs what I've made. Monster as predator isn't easy to implement but it is easily my favorite kind to make!

Lovecraft’s cosmic horror is largely a universe fundamentally indifferent to humanity. It lacks morality, purpose, or meaning that would align in any way with human ones. While forces in his work may clash against each other, they are not good or evil; they simply are. They exist as part of an incomprehensible reality-ultimately the dream of Azathoth, a blind and mindless god without will or purpose. If this creator were to awaken, the universe would vanish, as dreams do upon waking. This sense of insignificance underpins much of Lovecraft’s horror. Humanity is not at the center of the universe; it is insignificant, fragile, and vulnerable to forces far beyond its comprehension. The very nature of existence in his work is meaningless, stripped of any comforting sense of cosmic order or divine morality. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror was also deeply influenced by his personal anxieties, particularly his xenophobia and fear of cultural change. He saw 'the other'-whether in people, beliefs, or behaviors-as a threat to his worldview. This fear manifests in his stories as the terror of the unknown and the corrupting influence of forbidden knowledge or strange beings. The corruption of human values comes solely from those values not being fundamental, necessary, or even correct. The deeper horror is that we might be fundamentally wrong about everything. That all we think of as good, just, and true, are actually just the hubris and folly of man.

Humans are the true Monsters.

Ah, my old enemy The Terror… I for one think the real monsters are the friends we made along the way.

This was a really good video! Very informative and great tips! Thank you for posting!

Love the content! Exactly what I've been looking for. I've been trying to prep to write a horror story and this has been exactly what I've been needing.

Love your content! Thanks!

9:13 Ocean man! Take me to the land!

Yay, new video :) also, your voice is so pleasant to listen to :)

Whenever you have a monster problem call a Witcher

“HEY HEY DONT LET YOUR EYES GLAZE OVER YET” Instant sub

'Salem's Lot, the novel, nails this. All the lead characters are pretty damn smart. They can handle standard vampires. The reason the master vampire is so dangerous, is because he's ancient. He has learned a lot of tricks, and outsmarts the clever protagonists

Poirot is Belgian… not French…

Great video

👍

The real monster was the human beings we met along the way. (The Mist, etc.)

Going into the video, I just want to say I recognize and appreciate the Artillery Witch in the thumbnail.

I like this video, but I have to disagree with the story of Borrasca - a decent story until the end. The end was completely implausible and disappointing in my opinion.

Whether something is scary or not really does seem like a coinflip for most people ^^;

I have a few stories on several YT channels. Horror and si fi.

Can someone sum up what he just said? I was distracted by that beautiful hair.

I would say that an incredibly well-done example of a town-sized apocalypse is the Pathologic games. It's only a remote steppe village that's threatened by the disease, but the town is so vivid and alive-feeling it feels like the end of the world.

I watched the 1990s Candyman and it's definitely up there in terms of horror and it very much is driven by the protagonist. Helen's curiosity clashes with her dismissive disbelief until one of these opposing forces crushes the other. Even in the end, she transcends by becoming the monster's polar opposite, a being of mercy and protection of the innocent rather than living off the fear and predation of them. It has this almost biblical quality while still being clearly a horrific tale. Next on the list is hellraiser
