Dr Shaym John Carpenter's The Thing, whilst it has phenomenal practical effects that are horrifying to look at, it's the illicit dread and paranoia that permeates throughout the film that really gets under my skin, you don't know who to trust and the scene with the blood test always gets me.
The Thing. The setting, the characters, and the creature itself not having any true form and worrying about if your companion could be the creature. Also, my celebrity crush is the main character.
RUclips is starting to make me intensely angry. I had to upload this video three times, each time making changes to appease the demonetization bots, which is why the movie footage is all black-and-white. Then I decided to try out the premiere function, but then the thumbnail stopped working, so I decided to just make it go live normally. Then for a minute, it said "Video unavailable. This video is set to private" even though it wasn't. It did the same thing on my last video, but it lasted for ten minutes, probably costing me thousands of views.
This is the only one that I got a notification for. So this is the first time that I've seen this video.... Your channel is one of the few that I have notifications on so that I get phone notification when you upload a video
The first 2 minutes I was expecting a political turn but now im actually happy there wasn't, please make more none political content, this is a great vid.
Well spoken. Possibly the scariest scene in The Thing was the final scene. Kurt Russel hands the other guy the bottle and he drinks from it. Seems innocent enough. However, in an earlier scene, Kurt Russel was filling those very bottles with gasoline. The end the movie never revealing whether it was whiskey or a Molotov cocktail. Just Kurt Russell breaking the fourth wall, by slowly looking directly into the camera. It hints, but never actually reveals. It's scarier not knowing.
Did you know there's a "hidden" effect throughout the movie to let you know when someone was human or a Thing? If they were human, there would be light reflecting in their eyes; no "twinkle of humanity", it was a monster. Watch the end again with that in mind... 😉
@@particularbored6072 I saw a video breaking that down, that glint of light that lets you know if they're humans was only intentionally put in the movie for one scene.
+Ben Sutcliffe Jaws did that quite well... but they _did_ do that because their animatronic was a bit wonky and didn’t work all of the time, but the effect was still awesome!
I've always wanted to direct a horror movie and I love creature features. But this video has opened my eyes to the fact that I know less than what I need too and brings to light some very interesting points.
i 've always wanted to write a good horror story but i lack the originality. whenever i try it out it just turns out as some shitty knockoff of a much better story
The scariest movie I've seen is either "The VVitch" or "The Wailing". They're both movies that prioritze atmosphere and mood over explicit horrific imagery. "The Wailing" was a strange one though. Even though it was pretty unsetteling from start to finish, it wasn't until the credits started rolling that I was truly terrified. It has a lot of clumsy characters, and a quite a bit of humour, but there is just something about it. I can't really describe it, but I most certainly had trouble sleeping that night.
Lights Out and It Follows are so unsettling to me. So many films ruin monsters by showing them in direct light. Yes, they put amazing detail into the CGI model or the costume/puppet, but seeing all the detail early on removes all fear. Monsters or villains that you only see the silhouette of, freak me out a lot.
I think another important factor is character development and taking risks with those characters. By risks, I mean killing off the character. Its honestly scarier when you believe that anyone could die, even characters you've grown close to or liked
The points that you made are incredibly accurate. I cannot handle jumpscares because I have a cognitive disability that causes me anxiety, and I absolutely love it when horror films don’t use jumpscares; but instead, use creepy imagery and other themes rooted in the fear of the unexpected.
I’m a film student and the original xenomorph will always be my favorite. Unlike the mindless drones in the sequels it was patient, intelligent, and deadly. I am inspired by both the hardcore sci-fi and horror aspect of the movie itself too
Fun Fact: The reaction on the Chestburster scene was 100% real. The director kept it a secret from the cast so that he would get the most natural and realistic reaction.
When I was younger (Prepuberty), me and my dad were about to watch a new(ish) horror movie, we got to the main menu but we had to go pick up my mum from work so we never actually started the movie. I was pretty damn scared of watching the movie and I almost didn't want to watch it and by the time we got back it was dark. I decided to watch it and kept waiting waiting for it to get scary but it was just suspense and jump scares that even at that age I knew were bullshit. This has always stuck at the back of my mind whenever I watch, read or try (and usually fail) to write horror. The premise of horror and my childlike imagination, although not forming an actual scene in my head managed to scare me more than the actual movie I thought would be terrifying to watch.
I think the Terminator is the perfect "monster" to use the theme of inevitability. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

A good example of showing less of a monster is the babadook creepiest movie I’ve seen in a while, and with no jump scares. I also want to mention the Texas chainsaw massacre as it was terrifying as the main characters were unable to get up as the were in Hick county and everyone was on leather faces side. It created a sense of helplessness and being trapped which is terrifying in itself.
It is clear to me that you put alot of time and effort into this. I love how well it's said. I can tell you really enjoy reading and good movies and a good scare flick.
A very well done and thought provoking analysis. The montage of monster movies are of the highest quality and serve to effectively support the narration. Very excellently done.
Man, imagine if we could make a successful and genuinely terrifying H.P. Lovecraft movie. That would probably become a staple in the history of movies, as making such a complex thing as the Outer Gods or the Great Old Ones work would be one hell of an achievement.
This video is great! To the people who liked it, I would also recommend: "Is Horror Dying? 'Scares over Shocks'" by Rant and Bollox and "The Problem with Horror Movies Today" by Chris Stuckmann
I think a movie about the Backrooms would be sufficiently scary. It doesn't have to be feature length, just a short Indie film. But I think the endless maze with the hum of the flourescent lights and the fear of the unknown with the occasional "What the hell was that" moment would be nice. It'd be a more psychological horror than practical "Oooh, spooky ghosts" or "Oh no, another killer is on the loose" horror. Being driven around in the endless halls and rooms, with nothing but footsteps and breathing to let you know that you're(The protagonist) still around. The uncomfortable feeling of being alone in your own little subsection of the void, and the noises you hear from others once in a while. A "hello?" echoes through the halls. You walk towards it. When you walk towards it, it seems to never get closer. Then when you finally reach it, all you catch is a glimpse of something walking around a corner. You run, far away, deeper into the endless expanse, looking back to see traces of something following you. Then when you finally find a door out, you wake up. But you don't feel like you've truly escaped. The world is now just an extension of that place, you didn't leave, you just left the door wide open and could slip back in at any time, for that creature you saw to find you. What will you do with your "freedom?"
For me, the Backrooms isn't really scary from the "uncanny nostalgia" feeling that some people get. The "this feels familiar, but it's wrong/off" idea. That's not scary to me, personally. I more dislike all of the sharp corners and obscuring walls. A lot of the rooms are shaped so that you can't see the entire room. Something could be there, but you can't see it. When you go to check it out, now a different part of the room is obscured.
Awesome job. All things considered it's actually very difficult to make an effective horror movie but you can tell when a film didn't even care to try (The Visit, The Nun etc....)
Just wanted to say, this is obviously out of your Norm. Usually it is some sort of rant video or political video. Usually when people go out of their Norm suddenly, they don't do a good job. That is not the case here. I thought you offered really solid commentary and the video was really interesting. I would look forward to seeing more videos of the same nature on your Channel. Good job
I've always felt that monsters that reflect some primal fear are the best kind. Monsters that are the result of some sort of mutation to the body, or are a metaphor for something dark, horrifying and all too real.
Out of the horror movies I've watched from the last decade, my personal favorites are (in no particular order) : The Babadook It Follows Don't Breathe Get Out Hereditary A Quiet Place Midsommar The Lighthouse Us Doctor Sleep Creep Creep II Black Swan The Conjuring The Conjuring 2 The VVitch Hush Insidious Gerald's Game Bone Tomahawk Mother! Scream 4 The ones that disturbed and horrified me the most were: Hereditary, The Lighthouse, Creep, Midsommar & The Babadook
It's nice to branch out. Great video. Although the topic has already been wildly discussed, I enjoy your take on it. Amazing uses of audio and the various clips used were well edited. I understand the reason why you used black and white footage But I think it worked out great, the oldy feel put emphasis on the mystery amd works well with the theme. Love the video. Keep it up.
You all probably know this, but if you didn't, the actors for the first Alien actually didn't know much about their roles or even major events in the movie, and they didn't know the chestburster scene was even going to happen. That's why when it came out of the guy's chest, they all looked genuinely surprised/scared.
The scariest things about the thing is the idea that of your loved ones possibly being a monster and the idea that there would be no way to stop such monster that can take anyones form and spread like a virus everywhere.
The Uncle who Works for Nintendo may not be a movie but I feel it handles the fear of the unknown very well, even though you learn what it does you never learn what it truly is, how powerful it is or if more could exist. It is a constant foreboding threat in the game.
Dread is setting up something in movies ominous noises sounds and shadows. Horror is surreal images and nauseating scenes. Terror is the presence of something horrifying, coming at you take you, kill you, eat you, or anything that could happen.
Thanks for making this video, I wish somebody would listen because I have been in an eternal search for a long time to find a horror movie that scares me because I found a long time ago none of them can (without jumpscares that it, jumpscares are not real fear)
In alien not only are the characters unaware, the actual actors didn’t know what was gonna happen and that was their genuine reaction so it helps create that illusion that the audience is with actors and they have no idea what’s going on so much better than if Ridley Scott told them what was going to happen
i think what makes a good villain or monster is for them to have a rule that they live by or do what they do for something, that makes them menacing but understandable, tyrannical but broken
In my opinion the best way to make a good monster movie is to not show the monster ( to leave the horror elements strong) and make sure that imagery plays a major role because mental horror is the best
On the subject of concepts that horror movie monsters embody: For Maniac Cop, whether it intends to or not, the Maniac Cop himself embodies the fear of police brutality, as well as the fear of figures of authority turning against the people they are supposed to protect.
Well regarding to Alien, it wasnt just the characters that were scared by de alien bursting out of the chest, it was the actors, they didnt know what was going to happen because Riddley Scott never informed the actors of what was about to happen
One thing I guarantee literally everyone on Earth would be scared of is jumping in a river & nearly getting ambushed by a large crocodile before swimming to shore.
Video games are often more frightening than most modern movies, imo because of the element of control at your disposal. There's plenty of horror themed games I've played in the past where in something spooked me and I refused to move forward until I shrugged it off.
Have you ever watched the 90s The Outer Limits? There's one episode about the Boogeyman, they never actually show it, but you hear it, you see what it sees, and frankly you should watch the start of the episode, it's on RUclips. I have never forgotten it. It takes something we all know and grow to disregard and made it scary.
The loneliness one, how to make it A world where one day, no one can chat, see, hear each other, anything they touch won't be affected in the eyes of others, they have to survive on their own though they are not alone... But they feel alone
um, you forgot one thing, I mean this is just me talking but, I think (depending on the movie) the monster needs to have a sort of "dark intelligence", so the audience knows its not killing just to kill but have motivations, and goals when it kills, and good example of this is pennywise, pennywise is not kill because the plot needs him to, he kill to eat, and he dose it in it in a smart way, and he kills kids because its it tastes better, not because the movie wanted to get its kill count up
Fun fact Ridley Scott never told the cast about how the alien would pop out of the person’s body. All reactions were raw and unfiltered. I just though that it was interesting
Dr. Shaym have you watched "In The Mouth Of Madness"? I thought it another great one by John Carpenter that relied a lot on atmosphere and the unknown, and a sense of futility and helplessness that made it an excellent homage to Lovecraft. Also I thought 1408 was good, another movie that relied heavily on those elements rather then simply throwing the usual monster at us.
To me the scariest are the orignal texas chainsaw massacre because besides being extremely disturbing and all about insanity when it comes to presentation (it’s all about making the viewer feel unconfortable instead of just showing gore, there is no gore in the original but it doesn’t need any it just works) is that it feels real, it could easily happen or be happening right now in some remote area, and the other is Jaws, because it’s not all out of reality other than the shark being 25 feet long which the largest great white recorded was 22 feet I think it could easily happen.
What's your favorite horror movie and why?
The Thing for it's believable setting that just feels right.
Call of Cthulhu, I know it's not a movie but the idea of something so large and powerful that we can't understand is scary.
The woods are scarier when it snows.

The Uncle who Works for Nintendo may not be a movie but I feel it handles the fear of the unknown very well, even though you learn what it does you never learn what it truly is, how powerful it is or if more could exist. It is a constant foreboding threat in the game.
Right? Alien and The Exorcist even had a few jump scares, but it earned them with atmosphere!! And it didn't overly rely on them!!
Dread is setting up something in movies ominous noises sounds and shadows. Horror is surreal images and nauseating scenes. Terror is the presence of something horrifying, coming at you take you, kill you, eat you, or anything that could happen.
Thanks for making this video, I wish somebody would listen because I have been in an eternal search for a long time to find a horror movie that scares me because I found a long time ago none of them can (without jumpscares that it, jumpscares are not real fear)
In alien not only are the characters unaware, the actual actors didn’t know what was gonna happen and that was their genuine reaction so it helps create that illusion that the audience is with actors and they have no idea what’s going on so much better than if Ridley Scott told them what was going to happen
i think what makes a good villain or monster is for them to have a rule that they live by or do what they do for something, that makes them menacing but understandable, tyrannical but broken
The predator I believe is preying on the fear of being watched and stalked by something that you can’t see
The monster under the bead and the fear of the dark all stem from our natural fear of predators and each other!
In my opinion the best way to make a good monster movie is to not show the monster ( to leave the horror elements strong) and make sure that imagery plays a major role because mental horror is the best
this was really good, and nice choice of movies.
On the subject of concepts that horror movie monsters embody: For Maniac Cop, whether it intends to or not, the Maniac Cop himself embodies the fear of police brutality, as well as the fear of figures of authority turning against the people they are supposed to protect.
This was a great video, please do more like this
very interesting and insightful, thank you.
Holy $hit I actually got ads on this video and they were not Tik-Tok and it showed up in my notifications congratz man
Very informative and well made!!
Well regarding to Alien, it wasnt just the characters that were scared by de alien bursting out of the chest, it was the actors, they didnt know what was going to happen because Riddley Scott never informed the actors of what was about to happen
One thing I guarantee literally everyone on Earth would be scared of is jumping in a river & nearly getting ambushed by a large crocodile before swimming to shore.
Dr Shaym, You should see RUclips Channel..."ShoeOnHead"
You Two seems so much Alike
They're both anti-feminists with a lot of good points, but Shaym is more factual, whereas Shoe is more comedic. But, each is good in their own right.
@@jennifercorbett8640 She's not really anti-feminist, she's just skeptical. If they had sensical arguments, she wouldn't be so against them.
@@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668 *If their ideology appealed to objective reality
Video games are often more frightening than most modern movies, imo because of the element of control at your disposal. There's plenty of horror themed games I've played in the past where in something spooked me and I refused to move forward until I shrugged it off.
That's a nice selfie you took for the thumbnail bro
Great video man, do more of them like this
Have you ever watched the 90s The Outer Limits? There's one episode about the Boogeyman, they never actually show it, but you hear it, you see what it sees, and frankly you should watch the start of the episode, it's on RUclips. I have never forgotten it. It takes something we all know and grow to disregard and made it scary.
This was quite an interesting look at horror movie monsters, really liked it 👍
Great video, Shaym. :)
This was a great video, and m my fav is probably Freddie. Mostly because Nightmare on Elm Street was the first time I enjoyed a horror movie
The loneliness one, how to make it
A world where one day, no one can chat, see, hear each other, anything they touch won't be affected in the eyes of others, they have to survive on their own though they are not alone... But they feel alone
um, you forgot one thing, I mean this is just me talking but, I think (depending on the movie) the monster needs to have a sort of "dark intelligence", so the audience knows its not killing just to kill but have motivations, and goals when it kills, and good example of this is pennywise,
pennywise is not kill because the plot needs him to, he kill to eat, and he dose it in it in a smart way, and he kills kids because its it tastes better, not because the movie wanted to get its kill count up
Very good point.
What about hanebul lecter
@@bigliam1899 good point
this whole video explained why i didn't enjoy a quiet place
Fun fact Ridley Scott never told the cast about how the alien would pop out of the person’s body. All reactions were raw and unfiltered. I just though that it was interesting
Thank you soooo muck. I'm currently working on a horror book and I will try my best to remember to credit you.
Dr. Shaym have you watched "In The Mouth Of Madness"? I thought it another great one by John Carpenter that relied a lot on atmosphere and the unknown, and a sense of futility and helplessness that made it an excellent homage to Lovecraft. Also I thought 1408 was good, another movie that relied heavily on those elements rather then simply throwing the usual monster at us.
This was different. But I really liked it.
To me the scariest are the orignal texas chainsaw massacre because besides being extremely disturbing and all about insanity when it comes to presentation (it’s all about making the viewer feel unconfortable instead of just showing gore, there is no gore in the original but it doesn’t need any it just works) is that it feels real, it could easily happen or be happening right now in some remote area, and the other is Jaws, because it’s not all out of reality other than the shark being 25 feet long which the largest great white recorded was 22 feet I think it could easily happen.
I'll need to consider your points very carefully.
