- In today's video, we take a history lesson and travel back in time to some of the earliest works in film. However, because it's my channel, we also take a look at some of the creepiest, eeriest, and downright most unsettling black and white movies ever produced. Some that were deemed too disturbing for modern audiences.

For as long as Hollywood has been around, filmmakers have endeavored to make dreams come to life. As far back as a century ago, in film’s infancy, attempts at grand spectacle were already being made, and Hollywood has never stopped trying to improve its capacity to blow our minds.
But it was also discovered early on that going straight for the fear center was just as effective, and often cheaper, than giving the audience visions of the fantastic. Here are some early films that are every bit as unsettling today as they were decades ago- some that were even deemed too disturbing for mainstream audiences.

"Movies too disturbing for the mainstream"
*shows a movie where a guy eats shaving cream and lightly hallucinates*
What the hells in the shaving cream?! Lol
Some authorities don't like films where people have hallucinations that mimic drug hallucinations.
I think the Goodies had a similar issue when Bill Oddie's character got a sugar high, (from sherbet IIRC), and had visions.
@@Cheepchipsable Remember, back in the 1930's weed was considered the devil's lettuce. People ate this kind of propaganda like crazy.
Of all the images of the Joker to choose, you picked the absolute worst one possible.

Thats actually just really depressing to hear:
"It's too expensive to show the audience anything fantastical, its cheaper and better to just scare them shitless"
Lonely Chameleon: Yeah.
YES
Well there's a difference between cheap and bad jump scares and genuinely good psychological horror. Take a look at Junji Ito's work for example.
Plus there's some really bad "fantasy" too. I.e "The Dark Crystal".
Horrors are incredibly boring these days. Unending jumpscares or gore are not scary at all. Also, why is there sudden obsession with cults and creepy villages?
Movie: *gets released*
Woman: “yea that movie caused me to have a miscarriage”
" the shining caused me to get a miscarriage! I demand to see the manager and i want a lawsuit against the film makers, and get this movie banned!!!"

_shows the worst Joker ever_
Yep but the joker as a character is the best
Jared Leto is the worst
The only thing that hurt really really bad was his Joker.
@@kaylimdonoghue4371 Joker is a great character. But never the best. Were it not fer 2008 Batman movie, many many people were gonna forget him.
Not only the worst Joker, but one of the least to resemble the original inspiration.
what about "johnny got his gun" released in 1971, is about an American soldier in ww1, hit by a landmine, and miraculously surviving. He wakes up in a clinic, unable to see, he attempts to speak, but finds out his vocal cords were singed, and is thus rendered mute, and has lost all limbs. He attempts to communicate through Morse code, and amazingly, they understand him. He asks to be killed, but, to his horror, the doctors are keeping him alive as a guinea pig, to be tested on and kept alive for the rest of his life, trapped in his body. As he attempts to remain sane, his mind drifts through fantasy and reality, memories, dreams, and even nightmares. All he can do is chant "kill me" for the rest of his life. it also inspired Metallica's song One
If you think about it that song is sad and disturbing at the same time, Still love it! 🤘
Edit: I can finally say I saw this song performed live!! 🖤
I've always loved the song "One" and I think when someone knows the story behind it it makes it even more effective.
@@alexandriaisokay964 Song was written about the book. Hetfield bought the rights for the movie, hence the video. (not jamming version)

@@laslalal8451 ALL THAT I SEE
ABSOLUTE HORROR
Johnny Eck, the “half boy” in Freaks, lived down the street from my mothers family in Baltimore. My great grandmother actually took care of John and his brother when they were young. My mom remembers meeting him often when she was a child.
Now thats what i call, pwetty epic
burteriksson No. but I did tell him to “shake a leg” when he was taking too long.
Wow, that's trifling 😂😂😂🤦♀️
@burteriksson it's what people say when someone has done or said something else about someone that was wrong, but in this case I meant it as trifling in a funny way because of when you said " Did you ever give him a hand"😂😂🤦♀️
@burteriksson is this a joke? 😂
Suing a movie company for possibly causing a miscarriage is the most American thing I've ever heard.
Plot twist: the baby stopped growing because it didn’t want to live in a scary world
Americans try to sue everyone lmao

Yerp.
I was 12 when I accidentally watched "eyes without a face" and it's what started my journey of wanting to make films. The movie was on an old person channel that my parents left on and I just sat there watching some ladies face get cut off in amazement
You’re a braver soul than I, I would have fled the room lol
@@ezrastardust3124 12 year old me would cry and go to my room
i watched eyes without a face at 12 for the first time too!!! it’s still my favorite movie hehe
12 year old me would be been shaking and crying while finding the remote 😭
I love Billy Idol!!!
I would LOVE to see a modern Dante's Inferno movie with a high budget.
The Suspiria remake had a budget of 20 million and Luca did say that he wants a continuation, so it's definitely possible!
Try room 1428, a symbolic version
Idk I just like the Dante's Inferno video game
There is an alright animated film from 2010 based on the video game
Treiundzwanzig I played that game years ago. I loved it as a kid. I remember the gluttony level. And the boss fight with Cleopatra.
I love the way you read “Ah! La Barbe” in the most unenthusiastic startled voice ever.
Yep
As dry as dust
The Man Who Laughs doesn't seem that scary, more tragic than anything.
Agreed.
Much like Freaks
I watched it a couple months ago - the original book has a sad ending (trust Victor Hugo for that!), but the movie's ending is actually much happier.
In my opinion really sad or tragic is sometimes as bad as scary since if you are feeling other people it's so painful you are afraid to face it.
I like how the only disturbing part about "Ah! La Barbe" is people with mildly unnerving face cosmetics, and it was placed above the film that literally ends with a brutal mutilation scene.
TOO TRUE :0
I've just noticed that the attack scene in Freaks (1:32) was the inspiration for the Toy Story scene where the toys reveal themselves to Sid. It's too similar to be a coincidence.
Leah Henshall haha great stuff.
Leah TY AWESOME OBSERVATION
100%....Freaks is a legitimately good movie, never should have gotten some of the bans that it did. If it would have been made a few decades later it would have been received much differently.
Totally! Maybe coincidence.. Or a wink wink to the adults like they do.
Leah Henshall you're so right! Wow!
accidentally decapitates his fiance i wonder how that happened
Car accident in the film
ACCIDENTALLY !!! 🤣
@@cliffordgill9052 now you see I was just swinging my sword and......
It happened during a car accident.
The movie is also good enough to warrant being featured in an episode of MST3K, if that tells you anything about its quality.
If this is the same movie I saw many years ago I remember at the end of this movie there was a woman's head hooked up to all of these tubes to keep it alive and at the end of the movie all of these people were milling around because they had been found out And a woman walked over to the woman's head Who I believe was her best friend before all of this happened to her. She said to her friend bury me bury me and the movie ends.I'm almost 70 now and that movie still gives me the creeps.
1) Freaks(1932)
2) The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1959)
3) Ah! La Barbe! (1906)
4) The Man Who Laughs (1928)

@@MikeKelly9786 Too lazy to watch the full video?
Terror in year 5000. ?
@@GaryYoung-eq1ph Interesting as well.
It's really sad that so much footage of Freaks was permanently destroyed instead of being stored. I'll always wonder what the original cut was like.
I agree. Back then people just didn't think to preserve those things, probably unaware that so many people in the future would want to see it.
@@scombs6543 It was the 1930s. Part of it is because there were no cheap home video formats at the time, but at the same time, I keep thinking of how the director of "Algier's" (1938) tried destroying *every* copy of "Pepe Le Moco" (1937,) the original film that "Algiers" was a remake of. *He failed to do so.*
you can’t say “no pun intended” when the pun was clearly emphasized
My thoughts exactly.
I hate when people do that.
I was just thinking how corny that is
😂😂 I just commented this. I should have scrolled down first.
Ty. Yes.
where is Cats 2019?
Too creepy for modern audiences.
This was made in 2017

The Shaving cream one was just hilarious and very creative
Lol yeah. How tf that too scary for audiences 😂
@@yvngk333 you have to take into consideration that the concept of movies and film was new, and people weren't used to seeing stuff like that. Not to mention it wasn't as widely available as it is now.
@@yvngk333 u knw how the conservatives be "what is this good lord, its a disgrace in the name of movie, it offends the dignity of movie, we shall get this banned
@@yvngk333 More people believed in ghosts I guess. They feared that using drugs will make some demon possess their bodies
It’s goofy in a good way
I really liked Freaks. It didn't make fun of those that were different and showed that they were more humane that the 'normal' people. The Brain movie was scary when it was shown on late night TV when I was a kid. When the head could control the arms and legs that were connected to a pegboard was terrifying.
We accept her, we accept her. One of us, one of us. Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble
Yes the freaks were portrayed as very kind and humane. The "victims" in the end totally had it coming, too bad they had to tone down the ending.
Yeah; I loved "Freaks." The fact that the film gave the "freaks" humanity, but also agency, was really interesting; they look out for each other as a community and are eager to welcome an outsider, but when Cleopatra turns out to be a threat, they don't hesitate to defend themselves. That willingness and ability to protect themselves and their community makes the film really fascinating to me; too often, if you see disabled or otherwise marginalized characters on screen, if they are portrayed sympathetically, they're pity cases who are second to a "saviour" character who is not marginalized. "Freaks" doesn't do this, and while the "freaks" have allies (like the seal trainer lady), they're allowed to save themselves.
@@sophiatalksmusic3588 We need to rediscover the abilities of people who are different. I think there were times when every pair of hands was needed and people with disabilities were able to find a useful place in society. Other times they got put away or worse. We try nowadays but could do better. I installed a dishwasher for a friend whose son had Downs. He wanted to help so I figured I'd patronize him by letting him help. I never had a better assistant. If I installed appliances for a living I'd have hired him on the spot (he was over 18 so could legally work).
"One of the most towering villains in all of pop culture."
And you show a picture of Jared Leto... BOOOOOOOOOO....
Bobsheaux Yeah, seems like Cesar Romero's or the Animated Series' Jokers would have been better, kept hearing Romero's and Hamil's Joker laughs during that bit.
Call me biased, but I've got to say my favorite version of him is from the Arkham video games. Mark Hamill's voice, coupled with that face, will always be the real Joker for me.
Bobsheaux I came here to say exactly this
Bobsheaux i
Bobsheaux Leto’s Joker wasn’t as bad as people say it is; just because the movie was bad doesn’t mean the Joker was bad.

So thank you haha!

"This type of shocking violence coming near the end of what had been a reasonably conventional sci-fi movie disturbed audiences, and contributed to the film's reputation as being *a-head* of its time. No pun intended..."
That is the most intended pun in the history of the universe.
Indeed.
Smaakjeks K hahahaha
Like, he put big emphasis on head
Smaakjeks K Lmao trueee. The point of putting no pun intended is to not intend having a pun. It it happens it happens but its funnier if it isn't intended and so obvious 😂
Smaakjeks K I literally said stop
"... the film's reputation as being 'a head' of its time, no pun intended"
That was clearly an intended pun you liar.
ThwartedVillainy is not!!
Randy Hutchinson The way he pronounced it suggests that the pun was, indeed, intended.
Gammy Makara I agree
People need to stop using that incorrectly smfh. Ellen DeGeneres did a whole segment about that too.
It's like looking a baby square in its beady eyes and then punching it in the face then saying "no punch intended".
I just watched eyes without a face after seeing this video and I must say, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I totally recommend it, it’s not that disturbing and it actually teaches a pretty good lesson
Freaks is such an excellent film. So glad it exists, even in its edited form. Such a powerful film.
You had to choose an image of the worst joker of all time when referencing an iconic character?
I think it's just because that image resembles the iconic Man Who Laughs screen cap the best
Well, it did symbolise the "man who laughs".
Why not just use a Cesar Romano image or jack Nicholson?
Well, what would you prefer, a picture of Jim Carey as the Joker? LOL lighten up already
David Salucco honestly Jim Carey would’ve been a great joker
Freaks was a wonderful movie. I need to see it again. I really loved how sympathetic they were to the carnival actors, and showed how cruel "normals" can be to those who are different.
What's the ending like now? That scene looked scary AF, but also doesn't really look great to portray the "freaks" as castrating mutulators...
(Warning: spoilers) Or you could view it a different way: why do people always view this ending as cruel but don't care about all the usual deaths in Horror movies? Because people prefer to see a character dead than disabled. This is called ableism. Yes the ending could have been better, but think about how cruel the trapeze artist woman has been with the Freaks in this movie (I just watched it), calling them monsters and laughing out loud etc, she is the symbol of able-bodied people who oppress disabled people. So I propose to view it this way: she is now one of them, and they don't have a problem with differences between humans to begin with, it is her who had one. So the way the ending makes the people who watch that movie react tells a lot about them. Last but not least: this a rare occasion where these oppressed people have an occasion of demonstrating they can have the power, even when they don't have legs or arms for example. This is very unique, even more so for 1932.@@averysspookshowspectacular6205
Every time I hear about the Man who Laughs I remember when I made a drawing of him that was just accurate enough to resemble him and to be absolutely terrifying to people. Apparently when I revealed it in class, it was for a history project when I was in high school, they thought it was kind of scary. I wish I had kept that thing
Me too! I'd love to see it.
I remember watching this video when it came out and learning about these movies. I’m now in film school and I’m finally getting to see and discuss many of these films and it’s cool to have already been exposed to them from this channel.
imagine what the reactions would be if we showed these people back in their time movies like Alien or The Shining
or the cutscenes in Sonic 06
😂😂😂😂
Yami Dokusei lolololololppp
They would be either amazed, scared, confused or destroy the screen and the camera.
@@lunahetfield "WITCHCRAFT"
It has been said that The Exorcist was the first modern horror movie that really scared mainstream audience. It wasn't a cheesy zombie or alien invasion movie like many other horror movies at the time, it was unique because it had a dark atmosphere. It had swear words, gore, and blasphemy. Something that wouldn't be shown in any movie prior to that.

How is the pun not intended... When he emphasized it...?
I totally agree with u!!!!
I will say the scene where the laughing man starts to cry instead is actually pretty heart breaking
I actually had to watch Un Chien Andalou in my English 1102 class in college that was based around horror tropes and aspects. I highly recommend it. The imagery is disturbing in a very beautiful way and it's something you can't take your eyes off of.
5:55 Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger... but you decided to go with Jared Leto????
The shot they chose make the teeth stand out as with leto
Joaquin phoenix
That's what I was thinking
Why not?
And they couldn't just go with a comic panel of the Joker, instead of one of the movie versions?
I can't believe Freaks ended poor Tod Browning's career. Freaks is a fucking classic. Thanks Tod!
Some people only have a certain amount of 'creative spark'. Go and ask Paul McCartney why he isn't writing any groundbreaking songs now. You lose that thing with age.
Dolly Dagger In the DVD it mentions Browning was not fond of the coming of sound to movies.
David Harrison Certainly some things are lost with age, but priorities & support systems change. Think of a small company, it can grow by 100X and be big news. A very large company can never grow 100X. BTW - I don't think any of the Beetles went around claiming how ground breaking they were, they credited Black American musicians quite a bit for inspiration of their music.
I had NO idea Browning was not fond of sound with movies...Freaks would be a totally different movie if it was silent. I think Freaks would have looked more disturbing and shocking which I'm guessing was what Tod wanted???
David Harrison Well the real Paul McCartney died 1966 and replaced with a look alike. So of course his songs aren't great anymore
Why is "Ah! La Barbe" so funny? 😭😭
Thanks for this! Glad I discovered this great little documentary. I worked in the movie industry for thirty years as a set costumer. I am a huge fan of old black and white movies . One reason I went into the movie biz . I love of all genres from that era and horror films seem to be overlooked . There’s so many people that do not realize that horror has always been a staple in Hollywood from the get go . Really well done .
They Legit showed the Jared Leto joker instead of the original one that he looks the most like 🤦♂️
Read my mind. Jared Leto is the worst of all the Joker characters.

Dude imagine if someone traveled back in time and left a dvd copy of insidious or something in a creepy old box and then gave it to someone.
Then they leave instructions on how to operate the disk but not leave a dvd player.
It would take years to figure out how to view the dvd, and when they did, the world would die of superfright because advanced CG would make them think it was some weird supernatural alien relic.
Diddle r u high
Yeah I'm 6'1, why?
Know what you can do with CGI?
Diddle implying insidious is a good movie
Jack Torrance I enjoyed insidious. A story with implied horror is - in my opinion - far more thrilling than seeing the lame cgi or makeup that never captures what the director was intending. Forcing an audience to imagine the horrors allows for a film to be bigger than it would be if you tried to describe it. Screaming in the next room, strange noises.. everyone walks away from that film with a different version and movies today have left that style of film making behind. Take the new IT for example, I didn't need to see Georgie go through that.. it actually took away from what my imagination thought up. The TV series was far better, besides the big spider at the end of course.
Fascinating. I appreciate seeing and hearing about this group of films. I have seen some of them, but, seeing them in this group decidedly makes all of them in new terms. Thank you.
I saw Freaks when I was about 9 years old and found it captivating. It stuck in my memory for decades - especially the man without arms & legs, and the microcephalics. It sheds light on a hidden world.
For anyone who thinks old movies can't be scary, these films are worth looking out for.
Raven House Mystery they're funny, far from scary
Curtis Abshire Fair enough.
Honestly, I think that the older the film, the more potential it has to be scary.
Anyone reading this and then watching the actual films would be rather disappointed. Freaks should be higher and Chien Andalou does not belong in number 1, not even sure if in the list, haxan was an obvious choice but it feels too high in the countdown which for me means that the contestants were not actually good enough, I find the short film of the tree bears more bizarre or the one with the pig.
Well, I'm agree that A Chien Andalou doesn't belong in the first place...but that eye scene is pretty disturbing. I just watched Freaks and that one, but I'm enjoyed them.
"Freaks" certainly looks like an incredibly great Masterpiece, sad that he just did it at the wrong time, alltough the old style makes it even better imo. I wish his career would have taken another route, he really seemed to know what he was doing.
Totesfleisch8 the freaks movie is what one season of American horror story is based on
Freaks is a great movie. I absolutely love the time I put in watching it. Give it a watch when you find a copy of it.
Totesfleisch8 ...ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US!!" I LOVE that film. It's far better, IMO, than Dracula. whereas Dracula is supposed to be a "horror" film (I thought NOSFERATU, which is, basically, an "unauthorized" version (i.e., they called it NOSFERATU, cuz of the Dracula phenom or the fact that they didn't get permission from Bram Stoker's estate or some sort of legal wrangle like that) was stylistically better, even if the technical quality wasn't as smooth as Dracula & the Nosferatu character (the vampire) was not from the same mold as Lugosi's/Browning's Dracula, i.e., the oozing yet not-in-your-face sexuality/romanticism, instead Nosferatu is more of a nightmare, devilishly ghoulish (or ghoulishly devilish) figure. As far as "FREAKS" goes, the ghoulishness of all the subplots & the main plot plus the use of "real circus freaks", like the pinheads, the torso man, the Siamese Twins, etc made it even more "freaky" ha ha ha...
Freaks was an absolute Masterpiece I love the movie I downloaded it and I have it in my collection

The 1971 film "The Trojan Women" is disturbing in a different way: it hurts to watch that much emotional pain and loss on the screen. I could not finish it.
i just watched the man who laughs because of this video and it actually so good i enjoyed it and it has to absolutly be the inspiration for joker he's literally a jester clown person with a permanent smile
Sound of the numbers is more scarier than the whole 14 min clip
Thank you. I'm watching at 130 am in bed and the number sound made me glance around
2 35 😂😂
Link?
Ikr, the sound of the numbers r more horrifying than the film
Do you have a link??
Why do people use the over-used phrase, "No pun intended." when it was obviously intended? lol
I think really people are calling attention to their pun, because they think they are clever and want to make sure that you recognize it.
They're trying to sound witty, edgy and pretentious enough so they can make it big on RUclips.
That's why.
No pun intended !
Comedic effect
@@evejakull7491 it's not a good comedic affect. It honestly ruins it.
Does anyone remember when the brain that wouldn’t die was featured on mystery science theater 3000?
Yes! Amazing series!
Good ol Jan in a pan
That was awesome. Thank you. And I too would also love to see a modern version of (what many call Dante’s inferno I assume because of the game release) The Divine Comedy. Largely because it involves themes and believes lost to today. For example, the beginnings where Dante is attacked by a leopard, a she-wolf and a lion. References to the sins man makes. Sins against himself, sins against his fellow man, and sins against god. Far far from a religious person I just love that poem. Took Dante’s his entire life to write, mad props.
Most of these films sound pretty cool
Especially Meshes of the Afternoon, that mirror face is legit creepy.
Birdy. N.D I'd totally watch these movies !
Zionna Edwards Same
Birdy. N.D They're all really good, highly recommend
***** Haxan is actually really good
5:50 “The obvious inspiration for The Joker...” almost IDENTICAL to Cesar Romero’s Joker, and what do they show? Leto’s The Joker! The FURTHEST removed from that image!
copyright issues could be a reason
Amazing list! Will definitely be purchasing and watching whatever films are available in a physical copy.
I cannot believe that you left out "Nosferatu" with Max Shreck as the Dracula character. That man and his make-up was terrifying!! It was a silent film. For some reason I'm thinking it was 1928. I kept waiting for your to come up with it.
i think it was 1922...awesome film!
1928: The man who laughs
2019: The man who fell on society.
The Joker from Batman and DC Comics.
2021:the man that doesn’t have a girlfriend
This says a lot about society.
"....and react in the appropriate way"

Bring out Straitjackets!

@@macaryl95 Manner? What do you mean manner?
@@trionabyrne72 He clearly said "manner" in the video
I'm your 200th like!
I really enjoyed this, thank you. I will be looking for the films mentioned.
We must not forget, some of these films came out at a time when many people only knew exotic animals like elephants, lions from books. Bodiless heads, disfigured monsters were something absolutely disturbing, never seen in motion before. A completely different era and many of these films have been shot in a technically extremely qualitative and demanding way. The real horror lay in the mystery, in the modern technology that made such terrifying films possible in the first place. These people could not question what they saw there. They just believed it and that was the scary thing.
Eyes without a face is an excellent horror film. I saw it two years ago and was so glad I gave it a chance. Very well done.
Wait, where can I watch Eyes Without a Face?
@@moonbiscuit7265 I think it's currently streaming on the Criterion Channel.
It is the pride of french movies enthusiast
There is a link in the description. The full movie is on youtube.
Les yuex sans visage...
Bill Woods, the star of Maniac (1934), was my grandfather. I grew up with a lobby card for that movie on display in our house. He was a makeup artist, and was working his way into the union with this film. He applied his own makeup for this movie, and later became known for his beards.
Eric Nakano awesome
I might be related to Robert E Lee
Eric Nakano I'm related to my mom.... I'm pathetic ill leave now
Eric Nakano cool!!!!
I'm related to the famous outlaw, Jesse James
American Horror Story Freakshow absolutely had moments and plot points inspired by Freaks and I love that
1.25, that isn't the human torso, the ht was also known as pillow man. He had no limbs but could light his own cigarette with his mouth. Great video 😀
He's there in 1.53 🙂
4:34 "React in the appropriate manner" *Smashes mirror
Lol
"Bela La Goosey?"
don't forget alfred hichocks
Or Voodaville
Or Mariwhoana
Lol! I'm glad I wasn't the only person that noticed all of that! Hichocks!?!? Lmao
You would think that during the process of research they would learn to say the names of actors or directors.
Thank you thank you thank youuuuuuu! I saw Meshes of the Afternoon at the Tate Modern back in 2008 but I can't recall if I simply didn't ask for its name, or if I forgot it. I was mesmerised by it and always regretted not knowing its title. Now I can finally watch it again 💙
It's interesting that of all the movies on this list, it's the one that is the least outwardly scary that gets me the most. It just makes me so massively uncomfortable yet so mesmerising. It just gives me that tense anxious feeling. I really want to drop acid and watch it a few times to try and derive some meaning from it
@@SuperNuclearUnicorn Same here, I don't do drugs but I understand the appeal of taking something while watching that film
I actually got to see the man who laughs and it's a gorgeous movie I recommend that you guys see it you can look it up
Narrator: "AH! LA BARBE (1906)"
Literally on screen at the exact same time: "AH! LA BARBE (1905)"
It was probably produced in 1905 and released sometime next year.
burteriksson No they’re not. Top 10s are very informative
@burteriksson But this channel is usually considered as the only non-crappy top 10 channel
@@minecraftshieldworshiper7776 that's because it IS the non-crappy top 10 channel
Eyes without a Face, the year is also wrong. That was merely the American release with subtitles, it was already out in Europe.
9:27 'some of its more disturbing footage would be recycled later for low-budget exploitation projects'
*BEHOLD THE BIRTH OF MEMES*
Chris W God bless this movie! For the birth of memes

Awesome video. Of the best I’ve ever seen on RUclips
What’s truly horrifying is how many of these movies depicted disabled but otherwise normal individuals as monsters, simply for looking or functioning differently than societal standards
Brutal mispronunciation throughout.
Absolutely slaughtered Gwynplaine.
Lagoosi lol
"Alfred Hitchhock"
"Melez"
Mary Hoowanna is probably my fave!
Freaks was awesome, and sadly it was banned for hiring actors to tell a story that, minus the plot, mirrored their real lives in many ways
I was actually curious as to why it's supposed to be disturbing that the actors had actual physical abnormalities...? Isn't that just plain insulting to them that they can't be cast themselves? Or am I missing something?
The man who laughs is such a beautiful movie, Gwynplaine is one of my fav characters of all time
i’m researching luis buñuel for a uni project. i’ve always loved your videos and have a good idea of the themes you cover, so when this was recommended to me while looking him up i was surprised, to say the least pfff
The man who laughs made me fucking cry dude, him and dea are such a beautiful couple
THANK YOU! Some one who agrees with me.
Right???! I love them so much. It’s just so pure and innocent, yet heartbreaking how they both see the other as an angel and see themselves as unworthy of the other’s love. The story of the Man Who Laughs is not a horror or thriller film, but a romance, while also pointing out social and political corruption. It’s one of my favorite stories of all time ❤
@@anastasiavaganov8831 Right! The line "God closed my eyes so I could see the real Gwynplaine" always gets me, and I've seen the film like four times now.
You showed Leto as Joker and not Cesar Romero's Joker?! ...you know... the one that looks EXACTLY LIKE HIM AND IS BASED ON!? What is wrong with you?
Millennials. They probably learned this stuff in film class.
Tyrant Boss ... EXACTLY!
What about..Heath? :(
i'm a millennial and i know and prefer cesar romero's joker because batman was in syndication on FX for YEARS. you do realize the youngest millennials are like almost 30 now. i'm 30. you've got the wrong generation.
Kill off the babyboomers and GenX.
Great list!
What a great channel! I love it, sooo creepy. 👍👏👌♥️😃
The Brain That Wouldn’t die was given the full Mystery Science Theater treatment and is worth watching 👍✌️
I'm pretty sure the 1932 Freaks movie inspired alot of American Horror Story Freak Show, especially the scene where they chase the man under the carriage
I thought that too when I saw it.
It's called "camp" or maybe "pastiche". One of those advanced and open-yet-secretive types of irony that was obliterated in a forest fire somewhere between AOL and Twitter
hmm I'm thinking exactly the same
hmm i thought the same thing
True
Movie:gets released
Foetus: aight imma head out
Well now I’ve got my daily dose of nightly horror, thanks Jorge!
Why in Christ did they show Jared Leto!? when they could've just chose the panel of Joker with his hands in his hair from Killing Joke.?.!
Or Jack Nicholson's Joker. I get that he was trying to match the facial expression
I love the band Killing Joke!
That is because they aRE IDIOTS!!!!!
Or any Joker other than Jared Leto, really.
At the time he was the recent joker
The man who laughs is actually hella good. Highly reccomend.
Oh man the book was sad though! Cried for days afterwards...
Ben Wagner -- What does " hella good " mean ?
rainbowdeep He’s saying that “The Man Who Laughs” is a really good film.
I laugh at my own jokes and sound disturbingly like "The Joker".
I'd never heard of Freaks until I took a horror film class in college.. I immediately fell in love with it
I have the book
This is awesome!
If they were scared of stuff like this, they would all be having heart attacks today.
It's not scary, more like disturbing. Today's horror movies rely too much on jumpscare.
@@farequinas5615 I highly agree.
@Farequin AS I agree. While not all new horror films rely on jump scares, I just prefer the classics. All of the more recent stuff is total garbage. I only love the old school scary movies, since they're 100% better. Whilst the black and white horror films are ones I am planning to watch, though they'll eventually get a remake in the modern days.
today misgendering someone causes more screams
Just watch the scene from "Un chien andalou" where the girl's eye is cut. You may see many decapitations or stabbing in todays films, but in most of them they show something else in the critical moment. In this film, you can actually see how the eye is cut and liquid comes out. You won't see that in many films. "The man who laughs" is also a very disturbing one.
NOW WITH CAPTIONS! That's right! I'm going to start adding subtitles to all my videos now. Hope you guys enjoy it! Also please check out the awesome narrators featured in this video! :)
Thanks BlameitonJorge Your the best :)
Hey BlameitonJorge Can you do
Pizza Mascot and There Original Design: Chuck E Cheese?
blameitonjorge i love your vids man. always great to get stoned too.
blameitonjorge Please do another episode of scary and bizarre news headlines!
blameitonjorge thanks man your great
Great video
One movie that should have got an honorable mention would be “Gojira” (1954), known in english as “Godzilla”
I’m kinda biased here since I am a fan of the Godzilla movies, but the original Godzilla was intended to be an allegory for the Atomic Bomb, making sense since during the Cold War, the threat of Nuclear Destruction was at an all-time high and Japan was recovering from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The film has many saddening scenes, such as people dying in hospitals from radiation poisoning which was caused by Godzilla and Japanese Schoolchildren singing for peace on TV, and even Godzilla’s death is saddening, where he lets out an agonizing scream as he is killed by the “Oxygen Destroyer”
Compared to other Sci-fi films at the time, which were usually low-budget and corny, Godzilla sticks out like a sore thumb, and it has to be one of the darkest films at the time in my personal opinion
