    Who DOESN'T love Coraline? I sure do! I've been thinking that it was not as creepy as I remember, so I had a look back at the book and... yep! This movie could have been one heck of a lot creepier! Join me as I compare the book and movie in an animated tale of unchecked creepiness. We look at alternative Other Mothers with dark pasts, scary minions, rich decaying descriptions, twisted timelines, and so so much more. Watch if you dare!

      Have you listed to the director's track and extras on the blue ray disc because the director talks alot about the changes he made and reasons why.
      But anyway I have not read the book but from your description of it I would say the movie as a adult is much more creepy than the book.
      The book is a world where the world is quite scary and strange and creepy with rats everywhere and she wants to get out almost immediately get out.
      In the movie the world is perfect it's got everything she wants it's fun she really wants to go back it's very convincing that 3 children have already been tricked into giving up their eyes.
      The second half the the book is much more scary sounding but the first half sounds very horror story into even scarier horror story while the movie is lonely girl finds a paradise made just for her and finds out it's a trap.
      To me that's what's really creepy that other mother can create a whole perfect world and mask her true forum perfectly.

      abitfrank. Subscribed! I love your channel so far, I really enjoyed the movie and look forward to reading the book. Something I've been wondering is what's the significance of Coraline's hat? I was thinking it might be like a totem from inception but I'm not sure, maybe it's just something she wears to boost her confidence. Any thoughts?

    Fun fact: the film was originally going to stick closer to the book, but author Neil Gaiman encouraged the filmmakers to put their own fresh spin on his story.
    Edit: he has specified the only change he didn't appreciate was that Coraline has to be saved by Wybie in the climax rather than vanquishing the Beldam's hand herself.

    • @redacted144
      @redacted144 8 месяцев назад +13

      yeah, books are not movies (obvious, but many failed adaptations don't follow that simple fact). There are way too many things for screening, and movies just don't have the leeways as books.
      Neil knew that, and letting the director to have their spin is the right call.

    • @christalcavanaugh

      I dunno I kind of liked that because Coraline didn’t need to learn that she was strong and capable. She always knew that. What she DID need to learn was how to trust people and how to know who to trust. To me at least, it didn’t feel like Wybie saved her or vice versa. It felt like they worked together along with the cat to survive

  • @aesthetic_rex
    @aesthetic_rex 3 года назад +772

    I like the choices they made for the movie. The tiny door through which even children must crouch is claustrophobic. With the vague fear of danger on the other end, the tight space you'd have to traverse to escape is stressful. The bright and attractive atmosphere (like the colorful playhouse-like tunnel) and the other-peoples' all but perfect resemblance to their real-world counterparts, identical but with buttons for eyes, make everything incredibly uneasy; you know something is horribly wrong. The Other Mother really really wants to win over her prey. Not to mention the opening sequence with the Other Mother's needle-hands sewing up a doll; there's no gore or anything, but something about her hands is disturbing and can even be hard to watch.

    @ezrahasleftthechat5852 3 года назад +429

    I love how the author makes the Beldam use Coraline’s fears against her. Her fear of spiders, for example. The form she uses with Coraline is a spider-like final form. I feel like her “final form” can change depending on the child’s fears, to make them be more afraid and less likely to fight back if they refuse the button eyes, like Coraline did. I also love how the author made it so that it wasn’t JUST spiders, but it’s insects in general, which Coraline may very well be afraid of, considering she is younger in the book than in the movie.
    I love the Coraline book and movie and I seriously recommend both if you haven’t seen one or the other. I am currently getting back into Coraline and these theories are feeding my obsession even more.

  • @stealthyshadow567
    @stealthyshadow567 Год назад +100

    The book is objectively “creepier” but I really like the tone of the movie. The book makes it obvious from the first moments that everything is dark and demented in the other world, but the movie focuses more on childly betrayal. The beldam ensnares a web of trust, telling her everything she’s always wanted to hear, giving her everything she always wanted. She gets the food she loves, the bedroom of her dreams, the world is literally woven to convince her that everything from the mother to the bugs and flowers are on her side. Coralline is convinced that the colorful world is for her, and is willing to accept it and it’s occasional off putting feature over the gloomy fog-filled world of reality, with her emotionally absent parents and strange neighbor. This movie came out when I was around 9 or 10, and it really served as an introduction to the dark world of manipulation. It tells kids that maybe they don’t always get things because they are loved or cared for, but rather they are given something with the expectation that they will give back something much more drastic and harmful. Coralline is expected to feel like she owes the other mother, the beldam sacrificed so much time and effort for her that coralline is supposed to feel she doesn’t have a choice in the matter and must forfeit her eyes and her soul. The book’s version of the other mother is like a deranged killer with a gun, having obvious motives and the desire to brute force her goals. While the movies version is like the stranger with candy in the van, trying to use the lures of happiness and joy to make the victim willingly walk into a trap, with bright lights and a friendly smile.

    I agree the “visuals” so to speak were creepier in the book, but I personally found the idea of the beautiful facade with the slow rot and haunting behind it in the movie creepier - it was more sinister cause it lured you in and then turned. You’re lured in by the fun and beauty, and only realize it’s a trap too late. In the book, as a kid who read fairy tales, I would’ve had NO desire to keep exploring the book other mother’s world. There was too much “warning! Danger!” And not enough fun/pretty to offset it. The movie creeped me out MORE watching everything/everyone go from delightful to horrifying.

      Yes! This is exactly how I feel!

I also like the button eyes being a metaphor for becoming blind to the gut feeling where something is off, and that the beldam slowly separates Coraline from all help, catching her in her web.

      However, on the other hand if things are off putting from the very beginning without being too obvious, that can be pretty scary. Idk I’m kinda mixed on how I feel. Hehe xD. I’ll have to read the book to see for sure.

    Both are great, having achieved their respective goals as media, but I actually enjoy the movie more. It is an insidious trap that anyone could fall prey to. The book, on the other hand, has no trick. It was chilling from the start, making the tone extremely static. I enjoy the juxtaposition that the movie offered. If anything, I wish that the movie had embraced that same level of horror once the cat was out of the bag. The switch from kid-utopia to Lovecraftian horror could have been truly terrifying (as opposed to the movie's mere "creepy"). By combining the strengths of both, Coraline has the potential to create an even more profound story.

I turned it off just minutes after watching though, because there was no horror. At least not compared to the book. I may be wrong, but i really just didnt find it to be as full of suspense. My opinion may be swayed though simply because i am more of a book person. Overall, i just recommend seeing both forms of this incredible story. Also, i will try to rewatch the movie.

  • @hawkdracano3840
    @hawkdracano3840 4 года назад +1075

    The thing that made Coraline (movie) scary is the fact that it WAS brighter, and that made it much more creepy, simply because it feels much more uncanny. The Uncanny Valley is often considered the peak of terror, as uncanniness is when something is almost right, but something is very very wrong. I think that the movie is scary because if you enter without knowing that it's horror, it is very uncanny. Gore is horrific, but misshapen body's and needles through the eye are terrible... and terrific.

    • @SakuraAvalon
      @SakuraAvalon 4 года назад +49

      bob johnson Indeed. Subtlety is key in horror. That feeling that something's off, but you're not quite sure. The way the world drops your guard, the way it starts off so warm and welcoming, but becomes twisted and cold over time is a lot more scary.
      It's sort of like the difference between Silent Hill and Resident Evil.

    • @hawkdracano3840
      @hawkdracano3840 4 года назад +7

      @@SakuraAvalon Some find Resident Evil scarier, but I'll always opt for Silent Hill (I mean, do you remember P.T.). Horror, like all things relies on tension and release, it must rise, peak, then lower. The movie decides to start off whole-hearted and slowly descend to madness. (note, I first watched it as a kid, because my family didn't see that it was horror)

    • @SakuraAvalon
      @SakuraAvalon 4 года назад +2

      Well, I can see why Resident Evil(at least the early ones) can come off as more scary, just because of how it forces you to travel this nightmarish world, and drops you in with very little resources, making a small decision much larger than it normally would be.

    The novel does a fantastic job at pure terror. The movie though, while we know *something* in the other world is off, we don’t care. We want to explore this world of fantasy. And replacing blood for dust? It makes the other world feel more alien, more alone. I actually think taking out certain horror elements strengthens the story. Coraline and the audience want to stay in this fantastical fantasy, no matter how fake it may be. But at the end of the day, anything too good to be true is, and the real world is ours, even for all of its flaws.

      Yeah. And it makes a lot of sense too, the world looks perfect, too perfect. It's made to lure you in, make you want to stay there. In the book, it just screams 'get out of here as fast as you can'.

    I remember I heard once Neil’s publisher was concerned about it being too scary for kids, so they did a test and read some of the book every night to either one of Neil’s or the publishers kids to see if it was too scary.
    The kid ended up saying it wasn’t, so they went along and gave it the green light to be published, but later fessed up and said they were scared the entire time, but lied cause they wanted to hear the ending.
    TLDR: Coraline got published cause a kid lied about not being scared lol

  • @JohnDoe-xf8ew

    I think the film is much more effective horror wise. I did enjoy the book, but it was too horrific too quickly. It doesn't seem very believable that Coraline would enter the other world and continue to go there if it was creepy from the beginning. It makes sense that the world is bright in cheerful in the beginning because the Beldam's goal is to lure Coraline, not scare her away.

    For me what makes the book much creepier is also how long Coraline is in the other world. She's even forced to sleep there not knowing what might happen during the night. The events are much longer, the places she goes to when she looks for the souls are much scarier and it takes much longer for her to find them. It seems more realisitic and creepy. The other mother also appears during the exploring "game" and gives Coraline a "hint" which leads her to the creepy place with the creature that once looked like the other father and it's a trap. It all really feels like the beldam is really trying for her to lose the game and capture her..

    I made a Coraline alternative ending: what if she said yes to the button eyes?
    (cringe warning I'm not good at stories lol)
    Coraline was enjoying her dinner. She thought no person in her world could replicate it. The other mom brought a small box, wrapped in beautiful blue ribbon all around it. She liked it, though she wondered. What was it? A gift? An offer? Maybe...a permanent life here. "Well..go on. Open it! You'll like it. I promise." The other mother said. Coraline had no doubts at all. She opened it, it was...buttons? And sewing material? "Coraline, I give an offer. If you let me sew these buttons into your eyes, you can have *more* ". More...just like she hoped for. A new life, not one so terribly dull and miserable. She thought for a long time.. but finally gave her response. "I'll let you sew the buttons into my eyes. But...Will I ever return to the little door?" The other mother replied. "Wonderful! And to your question..Yes.Soon enough when you are older. Now, you'll have to be still. Very still." The other mother picked up the needle and thread and said "Close your eyes~" Coraline felt the thread go into her skin. But...she didn't feel anything. She felt like a fabric doll..At first. Coraline felt the needle gets forced into her skin harder and harder, she didn't feel like a doll anymore. She felt like a human now. She felt a wave of the most pain shes ever felt. So much so, she made a face of discomfort. Until..it stopped. She opened her eyes but. She was right there. But Coraline saw from another view. The buttons were on her eyes, but her eyes also dripped in the aftermath of needle onto a humans skin. She was terrified. She tried to go to the other mother. But she couldn't feel. Anything. It was like she went completely numb. The other mother escorted her to the dreaded mirror, which looked fine on the surface. "Welcome to your new home." The other mother said. She leaned Coraline further into the mirror but not yet touching it. "Do you miss your precious eyes yet?" The other mother threw Coraline into the mirror room right after. It was then she knew...she made a terrible mistake, made a terrible fate..and couldn't reverse it. She threw herself onto the floor and started crying. She took the life and parents she had for granted. "Welcome, join us under the white blanket. You will be at peace with us." The ghosts from under the blanket said. "You...you have the eyes. The button eyes!" Coraline screamed. "indeed. So do you. Please, let us count one more to our group."
    And that, was the fate of Coraline she couldn't dodge. It was either the ghosts or an afterlife of sorrow. That was up to her. But, she knew that no matter what she did, no matter how hard she tried or how long she tried, it was irreversible.
