the guy killing his son because he thought it was a better death than being killed by the monsters only to be rescued moments later... it haunts me. truly awful
Apparently that twist is movie only and the book ends with him stepping out of the car, but King said that he really liked the movie twist. I think I prefer it too. It's so dark and cruel.
How did you manage to not include the movie "Tusk" at all? Being drugged, kidnapped and physically altered into a walrus and spending the rest of your life at the zoo as an animal, while your girlfriend and you best friend date each other and look at you pitifully?
Don't forget Carlson's fate in Ticks, where he gets infested with the head of one of the roided ticks which ends up regrowing its head inside him, all while he's suffering from some of the worst hallucinations imaginable. It all culminates in him eventually taking steroids himself because of the hallucination, which results in the regrowing tick inside him to grow at an even more rapid pace before it eventually shreds his body to pieces, becoming an absolute behemoth of a pest.... all while he was still alive.
Fun fact about the movie "The Mist." The director actually asked King if he could change the ending. In the book, they just drive off into the mist, leaving their fate unknown and open ended. But the director of the Mist had a different idea, which he ran by King first. As you can see: it was approved.
The ending of the mist shows up on so many of these lists! The ending was heartbreaking. I heard that Stephen king was impressed by the ending of the film and that he wished he wrote it himself, which is high praise from him considering he doesn’t always like the film adaptations of his work.
Talk about bleak! He shot the old couple & his son too soon. I would have waited until it was too gross with toilet usage & thirst before doing it. Apparently estimate 3 days before you die of thirst. If he'd waited, the army would have saved them. 🫤
@@normturner4849they were being hunted by giant monsters. They heard the sound of all the tanks approaching and thought they were about to be ripped apart so he gave them a quick death, and sacrificed himself to be the one to die horribly only to realize it was the rescue party. They had to make a quick decision and it was tragic
If that’s true (no citation so could just be made up) that director must have been over the moon to have pitched an idea to who many people consider THE GREATEST horror writer of all time to change the story he wrote, and been told “Yeah, I like that, do it!” Dude could have retired happily at that point, I’m sure. Brilliant minds like King’s are not easily impressed.
The girl in one of the Wrong Turn movies who was blinded and then abducted by the killers to "enjoy" at their leisure is one of the most horrifying fates I can imagine. Yes she would have died, but not soon enough.
the "fvck bags" from that one rob zombie film, is similar. This could be seen as arguably worse they, as they are kept alive for extended periods of time. I believe the one in the movie has been there for at least a year.
The girl from Terrifier! Not only is she forced to live a life of deformity, but is somehow sickeningly enamored with Art and seemingly has his baby? Wtf?
And the other girl in terrifier 2 (even though it wasn’t for long) who got her eye gouged, scalped, back skinned, legs destroyed then had bleach and salt poured on her. She did die but she’s not only alive but conscious enough to call out for her mother when she comes home who also gets killed. I think both terrifier and terrifier 2 came out after these lists though.
The thing about the original Blair Witch is that you never see any definitive proof that there is a witch. Everything supposedly done by the witch could easily have been done by the two men. Which leads to a startling realization that perhaps there never was a Blair Witch. Only two psychotic guys luring a girl into the woods.
@@user-lb9xw4xf2q Every Blair Witch movie after the original is a what-if. As in what if the Blair Witch mentioned in the first movie was real. I think even if there was a real Blair Witch, she was not in the first movie. The two dudes just used her as an excuse to get that girl into the woods.
@@togahimiko8083 MattPatt theories are ass and are typically stolen and they never give credit where credit is due. MattPatt will act like he doesn't even have a team of researchers smh
The lady from Final Destination who put herself in a mental institution obviously thought that it was NOT a fate worse than death, otherwise she wouldn't have put herself in an asylum. I'm surprised you didn't include the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Having to keep yourself awake so the dream boogieman doesn't kill you would absolutely suck.
It depends if she's never been to a psych ward before she might not know how bad it is until she's in there and by that point they might not let her back out.
This is a direct quote from the first Child's Play movie regarding why Chucky needed to transfer his soul into Andy. "You have to transfer your soul out of the doll, into the first human being you revealed your true self to." ―John Bishop AKA Dr. Death to Chucky.
In the end, he does figure out multiple ways to transfer his soul into a human without the restrictions, but he also doesn't care about being a doll anymore. In fact, he loves it because it makes him such a unique killer.
Barbarian is honestly one of my favourite films, the twist that the film's antagonist is just as much a victim of a whole other sort of monster is fantastic.
I can see why people love the film , and I do think that it deserves the recognition. It was not so much the "twist" for me , because that is something I have seen before in the genre so often , but in how the film itself was executed by everyone involved.
@danielmccarthy3672 completely agree. The first act was VERY strong but then it became predictable for the rest of the film. Would loved to have seen a rewrite wherein the "mother" was less of a mutation- could've been MUCH scarier that way.
@@lemoniefish That would have worked out very well , I agree . I often wish that I could experience horror movies the way that I did before the creation process became so apparent to me , but I also appreciate that horror has a unique aspect to it , in that the process of creation with these films can often stand as their own art in and of themselves. I really enjoyed Barbarian in that way...humans have been around so long that everything has been done , however, there is still beauty in doing it so well.
I am genuinely surprised this didnt at least mention the ending of Tusk. Yeah, the movie wasnt that good but holy hell the fate of Wallace in the movie is actually worse than death. Spoilers! At the end of the film, Wallace, the man turned into an actual walrus in the film, is not reverted back into a man like he once was. Instead, he looses his mind even more and “embraces” being an actual walrus, or is forced to due to the trauma of the circumstances. The worst part about his fate is the fact that apparently they locked his ass up in a small little outdoor enclosure away from humanity probably until he died.
That’s because the ending of Tusk is melodramatic and idiotic. It’s 2014, not 1930 and below. I’m pretty sure that they can remove the dead, sewn skin so they can identify the rest of the victims; and parade Wallace on Dr. Phil or some daytime tv show so they can summon world class doctors who are looking for clout to help his ass (Tusk is part media satire, it can be easily been written in). But nope, Howard Howe’s weak to non existent walrus conditioning was too much for Wallace to the point they have to throw this guy in a zoo.
Where is the House of Wax Remake, guy gets paralyzed, then coated in wax left alive to be on exhibit in the wax musem sitting at a piano... his friend seeing his eyes moving trying to help him by scraping the wax off only to scrape his face off.
I thought that the end to “It Follows” was meant to be ambiguous- especially since the person behind them is not wearing the weird burlap sack outfit that the demon wore during the movie
That films a great sleeper hit. Lucked out got it in a boxed set of horror. The beginning was Meh until the naked woman entered the building then the giant behind her parents in hallway. Yeah great film want sequels! The end was literally it's only time until it get back to you..
The ending of The Mist felt like a slap in the face😂 I remember when the mom who left the grocery store earlier in the movie appeared at the end staring down at him from the army truck. Wild
@@Plantlady72 It's funny because the director, Frank Darabont, who has made a good deal of other Stephen King movies, including The Shawshank Redemption, did the opposite for Shawshank. Instead of leaving it on a cliffhanger, he showed us Red and Andy meeting up on the beach. So he's made us both happier and sadder by changing two different Stephen King story endings. And Stephen King loved both of the changes. He was so giddy that Darabont made The Mist so horrific in the end. Granted, he also approved of the good ending for Shawshank. As a suspense/horror/thriller fanatic, I see the Mist as signpost in cinema because he used a lot of the same actors in the Walking Dead series which he later developed/produced. He's an amazing writer/director so I will always love him for doing us wrong with the Mist. It's beautiful.
I just laughed when I saw that in the theater. The perfect timing of it all is almost comedic. I liked the vaguely hopeful ambiguity of the book way better.
I always thought the ending of It Follows was left intentionally ambiguous. We see the person walking behind them, but it isn't made clear whether it's the demon or not. Also, the demon's tactics has this kind of big loophole since it's established that the demon just moves directly towards wherever you are at a constant speed which can be measured, meaning that you could simply hop on a plane every once in a while and leave it constantly crossing oceans for months while you travel the world or have sex with one of the first astronauts traveling to Mars lol. Let's see, 40 million miles traveling at about 10 miles per hour equals...we'll never see the demon again.
dont even need an astronaut pass it on to someone whos terminally ill, and has maybe day or maybe a few hours to live, you lose the demon, they die, the demon no longer haunts anyone
Not even 10 mph. The average walking speed is 3 mph for an adult and this demon seems to be even slower. You could hop on a plane, travel 5000 miles and you'd have more than 2 months before it would catch up to you.
@@Cromulant I bet this demon is made fun of by other demons. "Oh look, there goes STD guys, off to **eventually** kill some human. Hope they don't live near an airport, STD!"
Or, if the thing just walks. You could literally just hop on a boat and live on the ocean while it's stuck at the bottom of the ocean trying to get to you. Have a friend get another boat and deliver you supplies, probably just water. Spend the time at the ocean to learn fishing to get you a constant supply of food.
Yep. I'd say the last Hellraiser movie is a good example of that. She has to live the rest of her life with the guilt of her brother and friends deaths because of her choices.
Oof yeah. Especially for cases where No one will ever believe what really happened (no other witnesses or supernatural) or worse, blame them for what happened. Or They’re crippled physically or/and mentally so badly that they can barely function and returning to a “normal” life is either impossible or extremely difficult.
"The average house cat" line hit me really hard, my cat just passed a few days ago from an aneurysm but I used to watch tons of scary movies with her in my arms or lying in my lap.
Every horror movie where someone is sexually violated disturbs me to no end, the first one for me was 'Don't Breathe' and I will never not be completely disgusted and terrified by that plot twist...
@@rogermaddox6134 Even though it's more drama than anything else (we somehow found it listed under horror on some free movie streaming site) The Seasoning House is pretty damn disturbing.
the '72 version of that terrible 2000 pg-13 remake?? rz's halloween was terrible and lookin at it from a critic's point, part 2 was terrible also but it still slapped! it was so gruesome and realistic and did an amazing job to portray the ptsd of suriving part 1 that it just actually worked.@@rogermaddox6134
For me tusk is shit, the greater of the time. the end and the parts of the tricheck are just shocking, the fact that in the end they take him to a zoo opposite of transform Him into a human again is traumatizauting
The dude in scream 6 being in here is wild. Surviving being stabbed a bunch while still having use of all your limbs and no brain trauma is not a fate worse than death they were really scraping the barrel with this one.
Run shouldn't have been here either. The protagonist ends up with potentially permanent disabilities, but calling that a fate worse than death is pretty fucking offensive.
@@BlackAntic to some people it is though like for someone who's passion or passion and work is an active activity like an Olympian, runner, gymnast, ballet dancer, someone who's life revolved around using all their limbs. This probably IS worse than death to them.
maybe not brain trauma, but emotional trauma tends to be SO much worse. You're forever trapped with those memories while trying to live the rest of your life not in constant fear
Eric in the last cube movie is the guy they find in the first cube movie who they decided had Down syndrome or something close to it, with his ear and screaming tick, but was a savant in figuring out complex math problems in his head. which meant that his lobotomy hadn’t erased his ability to do complex math in his head which is why he was hired as an employee originally. The ending of the mist was such a depressing end. Would have loved to have seen him get a machine gun or flame thrower from the military, go back to the supermarket, and just go to town on the crazed towns people.
@@andrewvirtue5048 since Cube was filmed in Canada the Canadians named the movie Cube. So blame them. Either you’ve never heard of the movies, didn’t watch this TH-cam where they actually talk about the third film, you’re illiterate and don’t know what Cube means ( hurry up and google the definition real quick so you can lie and say you knew what it meant the whole time), or several of these examples. And yea I have some psychotic tendencies but more anti-social and sociopathic traits than psychotic (go look up the differences while you’re looking up the definition of Cube too) like a lot of the population has but I’m not a full blown psychopath or sociopath.
I always thought Eric and Kazan were different people that both had undergone lobotomies. Cube Zero constantly tries answering questions that were best left unanswered in the original film, so I think Eric mimicking Kazan's tendencies was just the writers trying to say the savants are all ex-employees who've been lobotomised.
Chucky has to transfer his soul into the first person that he tells his secret to. Since he's a doll, the most obvious option is a child (partly due to access and partly due to their ability to believe that it's true). I'm sure he would have preferred an adult...
I dunno, living your life as a kid again with a mom who loves you and will cook for you and pay for you and around 13 years to come up with an awesome life plan with the hindsight of an adult? Sounds pretty good to me.
Only halfway through the video so no clue if it's already mentioned yet but I always remember the worst fate I ever saw in a horror film was I think Wolf Creek where he basically paralyzes this woman and is going to use her at his leisure if you catch my drift. That would be terrifying, being constantly trapped in your own body, unable to warn anyone and painfully aware of everything a person is doing to you. Also, for Creep 2, I feel like it's a bit of a reach to say she fell for Aaron. I've seen the movie quite a few times, it's one I quite like, and I don't think it's necessarily love she feels but just pure morbid curiosity. It feels less like predator vs prey and more like predator vs predator during later parts of the movie. There are times where she actually outwits him and times when he outwits her - they're actually a pretty perfect match in that way. However, I wouldn't say she falls in love with him, that doesn't feel accurate - I think she is intrigued by him, even when she KNOWS he's telling the truth about being a murderer. I really love Creep and Creep 2 regardless though, I love the way they explore the psychology of a serial killer. He's not necessarily some bizarrely omniscient presence that just appears like other horror villains, nor is he completely deranged- he's somewhere in between and that's what makes him so dangerous. He's the perfect example of a psychopath.
Oh yea, remember Wolf Creek 2? We see a woman in the tunnels who has been chained up for god knows how long. Also the survivors themselves can be considered to have 'a fate worse than death' (Paul in the second film and Ben in the first), where they are stuck in Australia due to the loss of their passports, and they are not believed by the local police at all, leaving Mick uncaught.
Bone Tomahawk for a similar reason but even worse. As they're leaving the cave at the end of the film they pass by two women who have been completely amputated and used as breeding stock.
@@mickflick8133 I've not seen Bone Tomahawk but I badly wanna see it, I've heard it's both absolutely batshit insane and also mega gory which sounds like a great mix for horror. The prospect of being kept like an animal used for breeding and having no means of stopping it is absolutely terrifying to me. Makes me wonder if any of these kinds of films were inspired by the US slave trade as I remember reading that they used to keep black women as animals and used them for 'breeding'. They would even pair so-called "good breeders" to make stronger kids that would sell for a higher price. I also remember reading somewhere that black people's skin was used as lampshades and handbags. I swear sometimes reality is scarier than any fiction, it freaks me out.
@@theinvertebratequeen HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The thing I'm talking about is only on-screen for maybe 15 seconds and not delved into but the implications are absolutely horrific. You're absolutely correct about reality being worse, even considering the slave trade in the US was arguably more "ethical" than a lot of other places and it was still BEYOND hell. Also an important point is that Bone Tomahawk is mostly a really really gritty slow-burn Western and it's excellent as a Western.
All those poor cultists in “The Endless” who were trapped in the Lake Gods time bubbles, especially the guy who is trapped in the 3 SECOND time loop. Doomed to wake up, dive from his chair upon a pistol, and off himself before the end of the loop comes, for fear of the unknown demise that would be provided by the Lake God. Awaken, panic, die.
Nah, Hellraiser is a truly benevolent afterlife. It's just that they see eternal, carnal pain in the same way as pleasure. I'm sure after countless millennia as a skinless cenobite you'd be so insane that you would start to enjoy it. Hurts so good!
There were 2 more movies you could add to this, In the Mouth of Madness: John Trent discovering that he does not exist but is simply a metaphysical character in a fictional story. Room 1408: Mike Enslin is driven into permanent psychosis from the horrors of 1408. (Although not fleshed out on screen, it was the disturbing ending of the book that was left out of the film.)
I'm happy that District 9 was mentioned! I only recently watched it for the first time and I loved it! it's very clever, funny, well-written and has incredible effects!
Im surprised that for the "The Balir Witch Project" they assume that it was really supernatural and that they all died from it. Didn't even consider the theory that the two guy characters lure the one female character to woods, used the urban legend to scare her, play with her head, and then murder her in the woods. It's still worse than death and its ambigigious ending makes it still work.
regarding number 7, i feel that is nothing compared to some of the fates Chucky bestowed upon his victims, Alice and Nica Pierce in particular, even more so with Nica, possessed by Chucky, Alice died when a victim fought back and Chucky returned to a doll, Nica had her limbs amputated by Tiffany
also, by the end of the 5th movie, Chucky decided that he actually LIKED being a doll and didn't want to transfer his soul into a human body. The main reason why he decided to transfer into Nica was bc he'd been obsessed with her and her mom
Yeah, I really don't get it. Chucky WANTED to become a doll to escape the cops. How is that a fate worse than death? The dude wants to be immortal and he is.
The ending of '"1408" staring John Cusack and Sam Jackson is another one for this list. I don't even want to spoil the ending because this movie is terrifyingly amazing on the first watch. I highly recommend this hidden gem.
@@shaka994 I can't hear that song now without thinking of 1408. Just like I can't hear "Wonderful, Wonderful" by Johnny Mathis without thinking of the episode of the X-Files called "Home" - aka the Peacock episode. Creeeppyyyyy 🥴
Omg I remember this movie but I couldn't remember the name, I just knew it was a room number but I didn't know it was 1408. When I was little this movie scared the hell out of me!!
as a disabled person: having to use a wheelchair isn't a fate worse than death! my wheelchair has saved me and gave me back independence and freedom. but I love how instead of talking about actual horrible fates e.g. the walrus dude from tusk, you make it seem like using a mobility aid is something horrible.
What part of "Her mother manipulated her entire life, fed her drugs for animals in order to keep her imprisoned and manipulated, taking a life away from her which she could have had without interference" says "Wheelchairs = Bad"?
How about Captain Miller's ending in 1997's Event Horizon? The dude jettisons his last surviving crewmates before the starship they're trapped on makes an FTL jump to actual Hell itself. He sacrifices himself to unspeakable horror and torture when what's left of the ship makes the jump to Hell with him still aboard. That movie's creepy AF.
@@SQUELCH-zj7il Technically she wasn’t innocent, she never got rid of the cursed button. She thought she did. But it was the wrong one. So that’s means the curse was still on her, which is why she was dragged to Hell.
Chucky had to take Andy's body. He was told the first person he showed himself to, andy, was the one he could take over. Do your research people if you're going to do these lists
I see people keep saying this and I never realized that. Why is it that he tries to transfer himself into other people as well? In my research I realized with the amulet he could transfer his soul differently. Interesting I never realized the reason he was chasing Andy so Hard in the first 2-3 movies was because he had to transfer to Andy. either way I agree they should do their research becaus they say things that are UNTRUE. They said the it follows ending was definitely a demon but the ending was left ambiguous.
Honourable mention to the human centipede Lindsay is trapped between two dead people in the centipede and has no hope of escape She cant move because shes the middle person and the two cops that could have saved her are dead annd so is heiter the sick creator of the centipede so she has no hope of even being removed even if it meant just being killed after Now yes presumably someone would obviously go looking for the two cops but any amount of time being left in Lindsay's position would definitely have you wishing you were dead Hell we probably just add anyone put in a human centipede in the first place to a fate worse than death because god damn
See, I think the third movie has it the worst. Death row inmates were not only connected but also all their limbs hacked off to lay around for the rest of their life
Okay, I have always felt sequelitis was a plague and a pox unless the sequels were of high quality (about as rare as phoenix teeth, that) but _The Final Girls_ admittedly takes it to a whole new level. Also, as always, spellcheck can suck it; Jean Grey has teeth, but Fawkes does not. The bird stays lowercase!
The It follows “disease” would be horrifying. Knowing that at all times this thing is slowly walking towards you no matter where you are, and it’s only a matter of time before it gets to you, unless your daily life is planned around survival.
I'm surprised the girl at the end of "The Human Centipede" isn't on this list. I'm actually curious about what happened to the doctor and ship from "Event Horizon" too. "The Exorcism Of Emily Rose" is another fate worse than death considering what she went through before she died. Obviously it was inspired by the real life story of Anneliese Michel. Which brings to mind two other movies based on real life crimes, "The Girl Next Door" and "Concrete". "Concrete" is such a horrific movie where it's pretty near accurate of what happened to Junko Furuta. "The Girl Next Door" is not as near accurate but still horrible to know it's based off of what happened to Sylvia Likens. To me, those are the true fates worse than death because they happened in real life.
I would argue that the 'being cloned endlessly' bit is in fact not a fate worse than death, because they are all objecively only experiencing 1 death. These deaths aren't stacking up, they are only aware of their own subjective experiences. I suppose from the outside someone might think of it as a fate worse than death, but from the inside it really wouldn't be. Kind of like Alzheimers(for the person involved). But even the original person likely just went on with their life, blissfully unaware.
Good list, but there should have been more Hellraiser entries. The remake/reboot was pretty disturbing, with several innocent people not only killed, but dragged into hell for eternity. And even though he was the villain, Voight being transformed into a cenobite was a pretty horrible fate. Obviously there are plenty of other Hellraiser movie victims that could go on the list, too.
With Hellraiser seems like the transformation into a cenobite is a rather mixed "demons to some, angel to others" situation. Like with Dr. Channard who not only was intrigued by the mysteries of the Lament Configuration box, but upon actual transformation fully embraced it and quoted the line: "And to think... I hesitated". And Elliot Spencer himself seemed to be affected by pain only at first and then seemed fine. But I have to agree with being dragged to hell for eternity seemed like a not very pleasant experience - and in this list Frank's resurrection is mentioned as the fate worse than death, but Frank seemed more than OK with the return and transformation period - which seems like the time spent in hell was probably the "fate worse than death".
Nuh uh, them starting with "come to daddy, come to Uncle Frank" impressed me & deserved an insta-👍 Especially considering they mostly focused on more modern horror with an emphasis on found footage.
Was it? From what I know, becoming a cenobite is a form of spiritual ascension, into a higher level of eternal bliss. It sounds like heaven, putting the gore aside
I wouldn't propose governmental/medical/responsible in general job to any prawn aliens coming straight from the upper ground. I always thought comparing these prawns to people of different skin colours is exaggerated. Interesting point though - would you feel safe with some alien race bigger than you to live next to you not knowing anything about them? Not like another human being, as alien prawns are not human beings in the end. Again, I'm not saying about skin colours, but common sense, eg. monkeys are cool and living next to/with them could be nice, but Travis the chimp existed still. Personally, not mentioning I'm old too (dunno why mentioning that at all, you don't need to be a boomer to know what apartheid was), I found more migrant crisis dilemmas in the movie while apartheid was just the background. But maybe I don't remember the full picture of this story. Don't forget about zoos, prisons, special schools, asylums, would you call that apartheid as well?
@@bvcxgdsjsfdsiogfdug What you said literally applies to all living creatures whether animals, humans, aliens, or the unknown. You can never truly trust or know the intentions of a living creature, so all you can do is put your faith in them and hope for the best. By being judgemental towards some and acting like humans are innocent is ridiculous. You're aware of all the atrocities humans commit, right? From murder to rape to abuse and neglect, etc. all of that is done by humans, so you're going to act like we shouldn't trust animals or aliens cause "they could snap" yet you're going to act like humans can't? Your argument was moot. Whether they were aliens or animals, they can be good beings. You can't just judge a whole species on a few bad apples. What you do is learn the goods and bads of a species, what can potentially happen if a bad apple is around and how to prevent it, how to treat all species properly and essentially learn to co-exist. Segregation and hate only leads to more issues.
The thing about The Mist I don't see many talking about, mostly because I believe it's usually overlooked, is that they are all warned of the sacrifices "The Mist" demands, they run from the 'prophecy' the entire movie, but the mist only dissipates the moment all sacrifices were fulfilled. The mist wouldn't have dissipated if everyone it wanted hadn't been sacrificed, his son being the last one missing, it only leaves the moment it gets what it wants. So, he cold have waited as long as he wanted inside that car, the mist wouldn't have dissipated if he didn't kill his son.
18:33 in the context of the MOVIE, that fate is pretty bad BUT apparently some geneticists have chimed in that, due to the fly sharing large amount of DNA with humans if a similar situation to the Fly's happened in real life, they theorize it would cause the human to develop Chitin like deposits on their skin, develop a immunity to a wide array of diseases, and.........that's it.
Wait. Where in It Follows do they state that the ghoulish STI sexually assuaults you to death? I thought it just like snapped the girl on the beach in the intro like a twig and mangled her up. Did i miss something?
@unrealisticallyreal I rewatched it last night..it's not a thing..no clue how they botched it. I'm also wondering what exactly the storyline for the sequel is going to be. Should've just left it alone, there's no need to revisit this concept.
The movie the mist has a message a lot of people missed from the start… remember the old crazy lady wanting to sacrifice the kid saying his death would end the invasion. That is why at the end of the movie when the father kills his son the most suddenly clears. The kid was suppose to die all along. It was explained in a lot better detail then what I said
Quick thing about The Mist I think he ran out of bullets and couldn't off himself and thats why he stepped out expecting the bugs of squids to kill him
THAT ENDING FUCKED ME UP SO BAD Like, worse than the Badlands ending, which also royally fucked me up. But the situation in the Mist being so much more possible and the fact that it was a choice that had to be made. I'd have finished it, regardless of the rescue. Living with the knowledge of having done that and being saved 30 seconds later? That would be hell on earth.
Quynh from The Old Guard should've been on here. She is immortal and would come back to life every time she died, but was deemed a witch and sentenced to the iron maden, so she basically was repeatedly drowning in a cage in the ocean for 500 years. As she was being taken away before she was thrown in the water she begged for her other immortal friend to find her once she was free aswell, but she never did. Quynh appears at the end of the movie outside of water, which means she eventually escaped, but still like omfg bro 😭😭😭
horror movie directors stop using women being sexually assaulted on screen for cheap shock value challenge [IMPOSSIBLE] It’s one thing when SA is an integral part of a character’s story or if a film is trying to use it to get across some sort of message. But the amount of movies that SHOW the sexual assault when they don’t actually need to feels fetishistic. Especially Megan is Missing, given the fact that the characters being raped and tortured on screen are children. That wasn’t even all of it. The kids in the movie frequently talk in graphic detail about sex and it’s not scary, just creepy (and not in the way a horror movie is supposed to creep you out)
46:00 the real bear barely lasted a minute because it ate an entire dufflebag (cant remember how much was in it) ran as fast and far as it could before it died of a heart attack only like a couple hundred feet away from the bag it ate from
Clear was never going to die in the first FD movie, whe died exactly when she was supposed to in the second movie. Because if death was really gunning for her to tie that loose end, she wouldve been in danger before she made it out of the psych hospital. She very well could have survived the crash, but because alex was AHEAD of her on the plane, he died before knowing clears ACTUAL fate. Just like later on in the second movie when we do see that someone was never going to die in the premonition. But if clear was really next like rapidly, she wouldve died before the hospital.
He wasn’t concerned about his brother being missing because he didn’t know. That wasn’t Frank’s house, it was his. Frank just crashed there since it was unoccupied at the time.
Chucky's motive for trying to transfer his soul into Andy Barclay's body was because he had no choice in the first 2 movies. He had to transfer his soul into Andy's body because Andy was the first person he revealed his true self to. In Child's Play 3 he got a new body and went after Tyler. But the ritual he uses fails if he spends too much time in the doll body which becomes more and more human the longer he remains in it until he becomes stuck as the doll. Until Bride of Chucky where they add the Heart of Damballa, an amulet, which allows him, and his now "bride" Tiffany, to freely transfer their souls into any human body they want. In Seed of Chucky he accepts his new doll serial killer life. After that he splits his soul into other dolls and it just gets weird. But yeah, originally it wasn't because Chucky wanted to be a kid, it just so happens that Andy Barclay, a kid, was his only choice at the time.
It was actress Katie Featherstone that made PA the best movie of it's time! That's why all the others suckish. Katie is the new Karen Black IMO! I hope to see more of her, as lately she's gone quiet.
The dyatlov pass incident movie just puts a bad taste in my mouth. Trivializing and sensationalizing the real deaths of these people. Idk if it’s worse that it doesn’t focus on the actual event it’s referencing or if it would have made some schlocky supernatural movie disrespecting their real life deaths
the guy killing his son because he thought it was a better death than being killed by the monsters only to be rescued moments later... it haunts me. truly awful
Didn’t a woman say the boy had to die to save them?
Apparently that twist is movie only and the book ends with him stepping out of the car, but King said that he really liked the movie twist. I think I prefer it too. It's so dark and cruel.
The moral of the story, never give up too early 😅
His screams are forever burned into my memory 😢
@@Exkali5 When he did the little yelp followed by the huge scream as it sinks in what just happened, that got to me.
How did you manage to not include the movie "Tusk" at all? Being drugged, kidnapped and physically altered into a walrus and spending the rest of your life at the zoo as an animal, while your girlfriend and you best friend date each other and look at you pitifully?
Ngl his best friend was more evil than the mad scientist
Or the end of “Freaks.”
Or no escape when you kill someone who killed your friends and then you realise it was all a prank
Don't forget Carlson's fate in Ticks, where he gets infested with the head of one of the roided ticks which ends up regrowing its head inside him, all while he's suffering from some of the worst hallucinations imaginable. It all culminates in him eventually taking steroids himself because of the hallucination, which results in the regrowing tick inside him to grow at an even more rapid pace before it eventually shreds his body to pieces, becoming an absolute behemoth of a pest.... all while he was still alive.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 OH MY GOD, YUCK!!!! WHO MADE THAT MOVIE?!?!
Fun fact about the movie "The Mist." The director actually asked King if he could change the ending.
In the book, they just drive off into the mist, leaving their fate unknown and open ended. But the director of the Mist had a different idea, which he ran by King first. As you can see: it was approved.
The ending of the mist shows up on so many of these lists! The ending was heartbreaking. I heard that Stephen king was impressed by the ending of the film and that he wished he wrote it himself, which is high praise from him considering he doesn’t always like the film adaptations of his work.
Talk about bleak! He shot the old couple & his son too soon. I would have waited until it was too gross with toilet usage & thirst before doing it.
Apparently estimate 3 days before you die of thirst. If he'd waited, the army would have saved them. 🫤
@@normturner4849they were being hunted by giant monsters. They heard the sound of all the tanks approaching and thought they were about to be ripped apart so he gave them a quick death, and sacrificed himself to be the one to die horribly only to realize it was the rescue party. They had to make a quick decision and it was tragic
If that’s true (no citation so could just be made up) that director must have been over the moon to have pitched an idea to who many people consider THE GREATEST horror writer of all time to change the story he wrote, and been told “Yeah, I like that, do it!” Dude could have retired happily at that point, I’m sure. Brilliant minds like King’s are not easily impressed.
Thank you for commenting this
And by happenstance I read your comment just before the “The Mist” entry came up
The girl in one of the Wrong Turn movies who was blinded and then abducted by the killers to "enjoy" at their leisure is one of the most horrifying fates I can imagine. Yes she would have died, but not soon enough.
Yes this 🤢
the "fvck bags" from that one rob zombie film, is similar. This could be seen as arguably worse they, as they are kept alive for extended periods of time. I believe the one in the movie has been there for at least a year.

The thing about the original Blair Witch is that you never see any definitive proof that there is a witch. Everything supposedly done by the witch could easily have been done by the two men.
Which leads to a startling realization that perhaps there never was a Blair Witch. Only two psychotic guys luring a girl into the woods.
Except the 2016 requel unequivocally proves there is something supernatural. Though I suppose it's best to ignore this movie. 😅

This is a direct quote from the first Child's Play movie regarding why Chucky needed to transfer his soul into Andy.
"You have to transfer your soul out of the doll, into the first human being you revealed your true self to."
―John Bishop AKA Dr. Death to Chucky.
Well not only that but he also has a time limit or else he will be trapped in doll
In the end, he does figure out multiple ways to transfer his soul into a human without the restrictions, but he also doesn't care about being a doll anymore. In fact, he loves it because it makes him such a unique killer.
Barbarian is honestly one of my favourite films, the twist that the film's antagonist is just as much a victim of a whole other sort of monster is fantastic.
I can see why people love the film , and I do think that it deserves the recognition. It was not so much the "twist" for me , because that is something I have seen before in the genre so often , but in how the film itself was executed by everyone involved.
@danielmccarthy3672 completely agree. The first act was VERY strong but then it became predictable for the rest of the film. Would loved to have seen a rewrite wherein the "mother" was less of a mutation- could've been MUCH scarier that way.
@@lemoniefish That would have worked out very well , I agree . I often wish that I could experience horror movies the way that I did before the creation process became so apparent to me , but I also appreciate that horror has a unique aspect to it , in that the process of creation with these films can often stand as their own art in and of themselves. I really enjoyed Barbarian in that way...humans have been around so long that everything has been done , however, there is still beauty in doing it so well.
It's so bizarre that one of the Whitest Kids U Know directed a successful horror film.

how do you think?? 😭
I am genuinely surprised this didnt at least mention the ending of Tusk. Yeah, the movie wasnt that good but holy hell the fate of Wallace in the movie is actually worse than death.
Spoilers!
At the end of the film, Wallace, the man turned into an actual walrus in the film, is not reverted back into a man like he once was. Instead, he looses his mind even more and “embraces” being an actual walrus, or is forced to due to the trauma of the circumstances. The worst part about his fate is the fact that apparently they locked his ass up in a small little outdoor enclosure away from humanity probably until he died.
That’s because the ending of Tusk is melodramatic and idiotic. It’s 2014, not 1930 and below. I’m pretty sure that they can remove the dead, sewn skin so they can identify the rest of the victims; and parade Wallace on Dr. Phil or some daytime tv show so they can summon world class doctors who are looking for clout to help his ass (Tusk is part media satire, it can be easily been written in). But nope, Howard Howe’s weak to non existent walrus conditioning was too much for Wallace to the point they have to throw this guy in a zoo.
its freaky, but i can't take that movie seriously. the ending made me bust out laughing, though i definitely wouldn't want that fate.
honestly that was really just his friends being monsters more than the guy who did the walrus surgery
that movie was so messed up. i had so many OH NO! moments watching it.
@@HatecrewdethrolI don't think the friends were monsters, but they prevented the mercy killing because of painfully misguided morals.
Where is the House of Wax Remake, guy gets paralyzed, then coated in wax left alive to be on exhibit in the wax musem sitting at a piano... his friend seeing his eyes moving trying to help him by scraping the wax off only to scrape his face off.
I think about that scene a lot cause it completely freaked me out
This scene gave the kid me so much nightmares 😂😭
bling bling!
He ended up dying though
Yeah, I still remember that scene. That was some major ick.
I thought that the end to “It Follows” was meant to be ambiguous- especially since the person behind them is not wearing the weird burlap sack outfit that the demon wore during the movie
It wore something different in different forms. The 'burlap sack' was a woman in a nursing home
@@Mystrich ah good point
That movie was great, I'd fear that demon. Walking me down 24/7😮
Agreed
That films a great sleeper hit. Lucked out got it in a boxed set of horror. The beginning was Meh until the naked woman entered the building then the giant behind her parents in hallway. Yeah great film want sequels! The end was literally it's only time until it get back to you..
The ending of The Mist felt like a slap in the face😂 I remember when the mom who left the grocery store earlier in the movie appeared at the end staring down at him from the army truck. Wild
I hate the ending of that movie so much 😅😅
@@Plantlady72 It's funny because the director, Frank Darabont, who has made a good deal of other Stephen King movies, including The Shawshank Redemption, did the opposite for Shawshank. Instead of leaving it on a cliffhanger, he showed us Red and Andy meeting up on the beach.
So he's made us both happier and sadder by changing two different Stephen King story endings. And Stephen King loved both of the changes. He was so giddy that Darabont made The Mist so horrific in the end. Granted, he also approved of the good ending for Shawshank.
As a suspense/horror/thriller fanatic, I see the Mist as signpost in cinema because he used a lot of the same actors in the Walking Dead series which he later developed/produced. He's an amazing writer/director so I will always love him for doing us wrong with the Mist. It's beautiful.
@@fartkersonyes, I heard King was so impressed that he said he wished he had written it that way himself.
its a great ending. i personally like the theory that the only reason the mist actually went away there was because of the sacrifice @@Plantlady72
I just laughed when I saw that in the theater. The perfect timing of it all is almost comedic. I liked the vaguely hopeful ambiguity of the book way better.
I always thought the ending of It Follows was left intentionally ambiguous. We see the person walking behind them, but it isn't made clear whether it's the demon or not. Also, the demon's tactics has this kind of big loophole since it's established that the demon just moves directly towards wherever you are at a constant speed which can be measured, meaning that you could simply hop on a plane every once in a while and leave it constantly crossing oceans for months while you travel the world or have sex with one of the first astronauts traveling to Mars lol. Let's see, 40 million miles traveling at about 10 miles per hour equals...we'll never see the demon again.
Lol I never thought of the astronaut angle - well played!!
dont even need an astronaut pass it on to someone whos terminally ill, and has maybe day or maybe a few hours to live, you lose the demon, they die, the demon no longer haunts anyone
Not even 10 mph. The average walking speed is 3 mph for an adult and this demon seems to be even slower. You could hop on a plane, travel 5000 miles and you'd have more than 2 months before it would catch up to you.
@@Cromulant I bet this demon is made fun of by other demons. "Oh look, there goes STD guys, off to **eventually** kill some human. Hope they don't live near an airport, STD!"
Or, if the thing just walks. You could literally just hop on a boat and live on the ocean while it's stuck at the bottom of the ocean trying to get to you. Have a friend get another boat and deliver you supplies, probably just water. Spend the time at the ocean to learn fishing to get you a constant supply of food.
“The rape victim dies, but she probably wishes she had died sooner.” Such a classy line. Wtf?
I think being the final girl/ boy is the fate worse than death; you have to live with a heck of a lot of trauma and guilt.
Yep. I'd say the last Hellraiser movie is a good example of that. She has to live the rest of her life with the guilt of her brother and friends deaths because of her choices.
That is what heroin is for
@@Zelphraeya Which movie are you talking about? I just watched the first two like a week or so ago so I know it's not either one of them.

The dude in scream 6 being in here is wild. Surviving being stabbed a bunch while still having use of all your limbs and no brain trauma is not a fate worse than death they were really scraping the barrel with this one.
Run shouldn't have been here either. The protagonist ends up with potentially permanent disabilities, but calling that a fate worse than death is pretty fucking offensive.
@@BlackAntic to some people it is though
like for someone who's passion or passion and work is an active activity like an Olympian, runner, gymnast, ballet dancer, someone who's life revolved around using all their limbs. This probably IS worse than death to them.
maybe not brain trauma, but emotional trauma tends to be SO much worse. You're forever trapped with those memories while trying to live the rest of your life not in constant fear
Eric in the last cube movie is the guy they find in the first cube movie who they decided had Down syndrome or something close to it, with his ear and screaming tick, but was a savant in figuring out complex math problems in his head. which meant that his lobotomy hadn’t erased his ability to do complex math in his head which is why he was hired as an employee originally.
The ending of the mist was such a depressing end. Would have loved to have seen him get a machine gun or flame thrower from the military, go back to the supermarket, and just go to town on the crazed towns people.
The cube? What? Who names a movie "Cube". Are you psychotic?
@@andrewvirtue5048 since Cube was filmed in Canada the Canadians named the movie Cube. So blame them. Either you’ve never heard of the movies, didn’t watch this TH-cam where they actually talk about the third film, you’re illiterate and don’t know what Cube means ( hurry up and google the definition real quick so you can lie and say you knew what it meant the whole time), or several of these examples. And yea I have some psychotic tendencies but more anti-social and sociopathic traits than psychotic (go look up the differences while you’re looking up the definition of Cube too) like a lot of the population has but I’m not a full blown psychopath or sociopath.
What are you on about?@@andrewvirtue5048
I always thought Eric and Kazan were different people that both had undergone lobotomies. Cube Zero constantly tries answering questions that were best left unanswered in the original film, so I think Eric mimicking Kazan's tendencies was just the writers trying to say the savants are all ex-employees who've been lobotomised.
@@andrewvirtue5048that movie is awesome.
Chucky has to transfer his soul into the first person that he tells his secret to. Since he's a doll, the most obvious option is a child (partly due to access and partly due to their ability to believe that it's true). I'm sure he would have preferred an adult...
I dunno, living your life as a kid again with a mom who loves you and will cook for you and pay for you and around 13 years to come up with an awesome life plan with the hindsight of an adult? Sounds pretty good to me.

Terrifying
Only halfway through the video so no clue if it's already mentioned yet but I always remember the worst fate I ever saw in a horror film was I think Wolf Creek where he basically paralyzes this woman and is going to use her at his leisure if you catch my drift. That would be terrifying, being constantly trapped in your own body, unable to warn anyone and painfully aware of everything a person is doing to you.
Also, for Creep 2, I feel like it's a bit of a reach to say she fell for Aaron. I've seen the movie quite a few times, it's one I quite like, and I don't think it's necessarily love she feels but just pure morbid curiosity. It feels less like predator vs prey and more like predator vs predator during later parts of the movie. There are times where she actually outwits him and times when he outwits her - they're actually a pretty perfect match in that way. However, I wouldn't say she falls in love with him, that doesn't feel accurate - I think she is intrigued by him, even when she KNOWS he's telling the truth about being a murderer. I really love Creep and Creep 2 regardless though, I love the way they explore the psychology of a serial killer. He's not necessarily some bizarrely omniscient presence that just appears like other horror villains, nor is he completely deranged- he's somewhere in between and that's what makes him so dangerous. He's the perfect example of a psychopath.
Was that the one with the zombies?
Oh yea, remember Wolf Creek 2? We see a woman in the tunnels who has been chained up for god knows how long.
Also the survivors themselves can be considered to have 'a fate worse than death' (Paul in the second film and Ben in the first), where they are stuck in Australia due to the loss of their passports, and they are not believed by the local police at all, leaving Mick uncaught.
Bone Tomahawk for a similar reason but even worse. As they're leaving the cave at the end of the film they pass by two women who have been completely amputated and used as breeding stock.
@@mickflick8133 I've not seen Bone Tomahawk but I badly wanna see it, I've heard it's both absolutely batshit insane and also mega gory which sounds like a great mix for horror. The prospect of being kept like an animal used for breeding and having no means of stopping it is absolutely terrifying to me. Makes me wonder if any of these kinds of films were inspired by the US slave trade as I remember reading that they used to keep black women as animals and used them for 'breeding'. They would even pair so-called "good breeders" to make stronger kids that would sell for a higher price. I also remember reading somewhere that black people's skin was used as lampshades and handbags. I swear sometimes reality is scarier than any fiction, it freaks me out.
@@theinvertebratequeen HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The thing I'm talking about is only on-screen for maybe 15 seconds and not delved into but the implications are absolutely horrific. You're absolutely correct about reality being worse, even considering the slave trade in the US was arguably more "ethical" than a lot of other places and it was still BEYOND hell.
Also an important point is that Bone Tomahawk is mostly a really really gritty slow-burn Western and it's excellent as a Western.
All those poor cultists in “The Endless” who were trapped in the Lake Gods time bubbles, especially the guy who is trapped in the 3 SECOND time loop.

Poughkeepsie Tapes is the only movie I've seen in the last 15 years that disturbed me. It's legit terrifying.

Room 1408: Mike Enslin is driven into permanent psychosis from the horrors of 1408. (Although not fleshed out on screen, it was the disturbing ending of the book that was left out of the film.)
In the Mouth of Madness is one of the most underrated horror gems ever.
I'm happy that District 9 was mentioned!
I only recently watched it for the first time and I loved it! it's very clever, funny, well-written and has incredible effects!
Im surprised that for the "The Balir Witch Project" they assume that it was really supernatural and that they all died from it. Didn't even consider the theory that the two guy characters lure the one female character to woods, used the urban legend to scare her, play with her head, and then murder her in the woods. It's still worse than death and its ambigigious ending makes it still work.
regarding number 7, i feel that is nothing compared to some of the fates Chucky bestowed upon his victims, Alice and Nica Pierce in particular, even more so with Nica, possessed by Chucky, Alice died when a victim fought back and Chucky returned to a doll, Nica had her limbs amputated by Tiffany
also, by the end of the 5th movie, Chucky decided that he actually LIKED being a doll and didn't want to transfer his soul into a human body. The main reason why he decided to transfer into Nica was bc he'd been obsessed with her and her mom
Yeah, I really don't get it. Chucky WANTED to become a doll to escape the cops. How is that a fate worse than death? The dude wants to be immortal and he is.
Possessor is the most underrated MASTERPIECE in the past decade! What an insanely deranged perfection of a film!

The ending of '"1408" staring John Cusack and Sam Jackson is another one for this list. I don't even want to spoil the ending because this movie is terrifyingly amazing on the first watch. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

Chucky had to take Andy's body. He was told the first person he showed himself to, andy, was the one he could take over. Do your research people if you're going to do these lists
I see people keep saying this and I never realized that. Why is it that he tries to transfer himself into other people as well?
In my research I realized with the amulet he could transfer his soul differently. Interesting I never realized the reason he was chasing Andy so Hard in the first 2-3 movies was because he had to transfer to Andy.
either way I agree they should do their research becaus they say things that are UNTRUE.
They said the it follows ending was definitely a demon but the ending was left ambiguous.
Honourable mention to the human centipede
Lindsay is trapped between two dead people in the centipede and has no hope of escape
She cant move because shes the middle person and the two cops that could have saved her are dead annd so is heiter the sick creator of the centipede so she has no hope of even being removed even if it meant just being killed after
Now yes presumably someone would obviously go looking for the two cops but any amount of time being left in Lindsay's position would definitely have you wishing you were dead
Hell we probably just add anyone put in a human centipede in the first place to a fate worse than death because god damn
In the 2 they see her still alive and he escaped for that psichopatick

The It follows “disease” would be horrifying. Knowing that at all times this thing is slowly walking towards you no matter where you are, and it’s only a matter of time before it gets to you, unless your daily life is planned around survival.
I'm surprised the girl at the end of "The Human Centipede" isn't on this list. I'm actually curious about what happened to the doctor and ship from "Event Horizon" too. "The Exorcism Of Emily Rose" is another fate worse than death considering what she went through before she died. Obviously it was inspired by the real life story of Anneliese Michel. Which brings to mind two other movies based on real life crimes, "The Girl Next Door" and "Concrete". "Concrete" is such a horrific movie where it's pretty near accurate of what happened to Junko Furuta. "The Girl Next Door" is not as near accurate but still horrible to know it's based off of what happened to Sylvia Likens. To me, those are the true fates worse than death because they happened in real life.
Charles lee has been in doll form longer than human at this point
What about Captain Miller from Event Horizon,he may have saved his remaining crew but he's condemned to suffer in Hell for eternity
I would argue that the 'being cloned endlessly' bit is in fact not a fate worse than death, because they are all objecively only experiencing 1 death. These deaths aren't stacking up, they are only aware of their own subjective experiences. I suppose from the outside someone might think of it as a fate worse than death, but from the inside it really wouldn't be. Kind of like Alzheimers(for the person involved). But even the original person likely just went on with their life, blissfully unaware.
Good list, but there should have been more Hellraiser entries. The remake/reboot was pretty disturbing, with several innocent people not only killed, but dragged into hell for eternity. And even though he was the villain, Voight being transformed into a cenobite was a pretty horrible fate. Obviously there are plenty of other Hellraiser movie victims that could go on the list, too.
With Hellraiser seems like the transformation into a cenobite is a rather mixed "demons to some, angel to others" situation. Like with Dr. Channard who not only was intrigued by the mysteries of the Lament Configuration box, but upon actual transformation fully embraced it and quoted the line: "And to think... I hesitated". And Elliot Spencer himself seemed to be affected by pain only at first and then seemed fine. But I have to agree with being dragged to hell for eternity seemed like a not very pleasant experience - and in this list Frank's resurrection is mentioned as the fate worse than death, but Frank seemed more than OK with the return and transformation period - which seems like the time spent in hell was probably the "fate worse than death".
Nuh uh, them starting with "come to daddy, come to Uncle Frank" impressed me & deserved an insta-👍 Especially considering they mostly focused on more modern horror with an emphasis on found footage.
Was it? From what I know, becoming a cenobite is a form of spiritual ascension, into a higher level of eternal bliss. It sounds like heaven, putting the gore aside
Surely being a crew member of the Event Horizon should be number one on the Sci-Fi list.
Such a great (and disturbing) film.
"Save Yourselves"
Great film, scared the absolute shit out of me as a kid.

District 9 is a commentary on apartheid, not the current migrant crisis. You have to be old, though, to know that
I wouldn't propose governmental/medical/responsible in general job to any prawn aliens coming straight from the upper ground. I always thought comparing these prawns to people of different skin colours is exaggerated. Interesting point though - would you feel safe with some alien race bigger than you to live next to you not knowing anything about them? Not like another human being, as alien prawns are not human beings in the end. Again, I'm not saying about skin colours, but common sense, eg. monkeys are cool and living next to/with them could be nice, but Travis the chimp existed still. Personally, not mentioning I'm old too (dunno why mentioning that at all, you don't need to be a boomer to know what apartheid was), I found more migrant crisis dilemmas in the movie while apartheid was just the background. But maybe I don't remember the full picture of this story. Don't forget about zoos, prisons, special schools, asylums, would you call that apartheid as well?
It can't be both?
@@bvcxgdsjsfdsiogfdug What you said literally applies to all living creatures whether animals, humans, aliens, or the unknown. You can never truly trust or know the intentions of a living creature, so all you can do is put your faith in them and hope for the best. By being judgemental towards some and acting like humans are innocent is ridiculous. You're aware of all the atrocities humans commit, right? From murder to rape to abuse and neglect, etc. all of that is done by humans, so you're going to act like we shouldn't trust animals or aliens cause "they could snap" yet you're going to act like humans can't? Your argument was moot. Whether they were aliens or animals, they can be good beings. You can't just judge a whole species on a few bad apples. What you do is learn the goods and bads of a species, what can potentially happen if a bad apple is around and how to prevent it, how to treat all species properly and essentially learn to co-exist. Segregation and hate only leads to more issues.

The thing about The Mist I don't see many talking about, mostly because I believe it's usually overlooked, is that they are all warned of the sacrifices "The Mist" demands, they run from the 'prophecy' the entire movie, but the mist only dissipates the moment all sacrifices were fulfilled. The mist wouldn't have dissipated if everyone it wanted hadn't been sacrificed, his son being the last one missing, it only leaves the moment it gets what it wants.
So, he cold have waited as long as he wanted inside that car, the mist wouldn't have dissipated if he didn't kill his son.
🤯 mind blown. That makes sooo much sense
steve king needs to stick to silver bulttet or maximum overdrive movies!
I don't know the people in hellraiser seem to be quite happy after their transformation
18:33 in the context of the MOVIE, that fate is pretty bad BUT apparently some geneticists have chimed in that, due to the fly sharing large amount of DNA with humans if a similar situation to the Fly's happened in real life, they theorize it would cause the human to develop Chitin like deposits on their skin, develop a immunity to a wide array of diseases, and.........that's it.
Wait. Where in It Follows do they state that the ghoulish STI sexually assuaults you to death? I thought it just like snapped the girl on the beach in the intro like a twig and mangled her up. Did i miss something?
I was wondering the same thing. I don’t remember hearing that in the movie.
@unrealisticallyreal I rewatched it last night..it's not a thing..no clue how they botched it. I'm also wondering what exactly the storyline for the sequel is going to be. Should've just left it alone, there's no need to revisit this concept.
They may have been referring to that scene with Greg when the demon turns into his mom to kill him? Other than that, I'm lost, too.
The movie the mist has a message a lot of people missed from the start… remember the old crazy lady wanting to sacrifice the kid saying his death would end the invasion. That is why at the end of the movie when the father kills his son the most suddenly clears. The kid was suppose to die all along. It was explained in a lot better detail then what I said
If I got killed, only to be brought back to life for a sequel and realized it, I'd go hard in the sequel to make sure the franchise continues 😂
This is a nice little mixtape of my favorite WhatCulture horror people!
Some of those 80s horror movies had the most convoluted plots
What culture: he steadily loses his grip on reality. Me: and he steadily gains grip on the ceiling
Yeah if i get trapped in a mine shaft im just dying
Quick thing about The Mist I think he ran out of bullets and couldn't off himself and thats why he stepped out expecting the bugs of squids to kill him
It'd be nice if the timestamps named the movie not the spoilers
The ending to the mist broke me. It had no right being so depressing after such a meh movie
THAT ENDING FUCKED ME UP SO BAD
Like, worse than the Badlands ending, which also royally fucked me up.
But the situation in the Mist being so much more possible and the fact that it was a choice that had to be made.
I'd have finished it, regardless of the rescue. Living with the knowledge of having done that and being saved 30 seconds later? That would be hell on earth.
Tough for protagonist; but otherwise a happy ending: humanity clearly survives. Much more ambiguous ending in short novel.
Well put ! Seen a lot of messed up movies but the ending of The Mist effects me viscerally ! Heavy scene !
it's brutal because we've all went through something similar, making terrible mistakes that could've been easily avoided
The worst fate was not the impregnation in Halloween 6, it was having to star in Halloween 6
Quynh from The Old Guard should've been on here. She is immortal and would come back to life every time she died, but was deemed a witch and sentenced to the iron maden, so she basically was repeatedly drowning in a cage in the ocean for 500 years. As she was being taken away before she was thrown in the water she begged for her other immortal friend to find her once she was free aswell, but she never did. Quynh appears at the end of the movie outside of water, which means she eventually escaped, but still like omfg bro 😭😭😭
10:45 I actually really loved Mirrors.
horror movie directors stop using women being sexually assaulted on screen for cheap shock value challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
It’s one thing when SA is an integral part of a character’s story or if a film is trying to use it to get across some sort of message. But the amount of movies that SHOW the sexual assault when they don’t actually need to feels fetishistic. Especially Megan is Missing, given the fact that the characters being raped and tortured on screen are children. That wasn’t even all of it. The kids in the movie frequently talk in graphic detail about sex and it’s not scary, just creepy (and not in the way a horror movie is supposed to creep you out)
Technically the ending of “It Follows” doesn’t confirm that the entity is still alive. It could just be a person walking behind them.
Naah I'd rather just be tortured to death than be tortured to death and then be resurrected without skin. Just let me stay dead at that point.
Pretty sure you're not tortured to death in Hellraiser, you're tortured forever, seeing as Frank was in the Leviathan's realm still in Hellraiser 2.
Clear Rivers was in the padded cell in Final Destination 2, not the original.
46:00 the real bear barely lasted a minute because it ate an entire dufflebag (cant remember how much was in it) ran as fast and far as it could before it died of a heart attack only like a couple hundred feet away from the bag it ate from
Clear was never going to die in the first FD movie, whe died exactly when she was supposed to in the second movie. Because if death was really gunning for her to tie that loose end, she wouldve been in danger before she made it out of the psych hospital. She very well could have survived the crash, but because alex was AHEAD of her on the plane, he died before knowing clears ACTUAL fate. Just like later on in the second movie when we do see that someone was never going to die in the premonition. But if clear was really next like rapidly, she wouldve died before the hospital.
Hearing someone say host was one of the most impressive movies of the year was a fate worse than death.
Annabell VS. Chucky would make a interesting movie.
Worse fate: getting jumpscared and screaming in your mythology class and everyone laughs at you

He wasn’t concerned about his brother being missing because he didn’t know. That wasn’t Frank’s house, it was his. Frank just crashed there since it was unoccupied at the time.
You missed the opportunity to call it a Sexually Transmitted Demon in the It Follows segment
that movie was so disturbing. it really stays with you after watching
Chucky's motive for trying to transfer his soul into Andy Barclay's body was because he had no choice in the first 2 movies. He had to transfer his soul into Andy's body because Andy was the first person he revealed his true self to. In Child's Play 3 he got a new body and went after Tyler. But the ritual he uses fails if he spends too much time in the doll body which becomes more and more human the longer he remains in it until he becomes stuck as the doll. Until Bride of Chucky where they add the Heart of Damballa, an amulet, which allows him, and his now "bride" Tiffany, to freely transfer their souls into any human body they want. In Seed of Chucky he accepts his new doll serial killer life. After that he splits his soul into other dolls and it just gets weird. But yeah, originally it wasn't because Chucky wanted to be a kid, it just so happens that Andy Barclay, a kid, was his only choice at the time.
It was actress Katie Featherstone that made PA the best movie of it's time! That's why all the others suckish. Katie is the new Karen Black IMO! I hope to see more of her, as lately she's gone quiet.

Mirrors was a damn good movie, and I will verbally fight you for that slander, ma'am! *Respectfully*
11:00 Mirrors is a hoot, just a mess. Tries hard here and there.
The dyatlov pass incident movie just puts a bad taste in my mouth. Trivializing and sensationalizing the real deaths of these people. Idk if it’s worse that it doesn’t focus on the actual event it’s referencing or if it would have made some schlocky supernatural movie disrespecting their real life deaths
4:08 morel orel moment (minus the kidnapping part-)
no way no way ur so right
Supprised that "I have no mouth and I must scream" didn't become included
Spoiler alert🚨 If some of ya’ll havent seen some of these movies, cause there is major spoilers of twists and endings in every movie in this video☝🏾
Woe is them
Why would I watch a movie death compilation if I didn't expect spoilers?

I can't believe they didn't include Skinamarink. That's got to be one of the worst fates in all of media.
