What scared you as a child? After watching Skinamarink I was reminded of an old childhood fear and apparently this lofi, gen Z, creepypasta movie did the same for many other people. In the video I try to unpack why that is.

What was your childhood fear?
Giant alien clouds in the sky that eat horses and people, thank god there’s no movie about that
That the rats in the walls would come out and sit around my bed eating oranges (they sounded like they were playing football in there, and half time snacks where I grew up were always oranges). Wasn't afraid of the rats themselves like they were going to hurt me or anything, just the idea of waking up to them all around and staring at me.
My parents dying suddenly was my biggest fears as a kid, I managed to turn it into an OCD after my uncles suicide..
The Mandingas Legend was quite well known for kids from Colombia, and was so creepy for me, the images depicting him were so frightening!
An unintelligible argument in the dark, growing in volume and intensity.
I can remember being a preteen in the early to mid-nineties. Falling asleep on my couch watching Cartoon Network... Back before Adult Swim, when they'd play Late Night Black and White. I can remember waking up only an hour after dozing off, the whole house dark, save for the creepy "rubber hose" style cartoons playing on low volume... The quiet music dissonant and distorted with age. It was creepy and will always stick with me. That time does seem liminal, between sleep and dawn... It's disorienting.
More than fear, although it gave me a dose of that here and there, I got angry. I got so intensely overprotective of the children that I was yelling for the monster to just leave them alone, that they had enough already.
this video played directly after your cosmic horror video. and i think this movie did an excellent job of creating that sense of cosmic horror but worse because young children are not really able to conceptualise what that is and what that means. it truely is a waking nightmare.
Skinamarink reminds me of _Paranormal Activity,_ but in the perspective of the kids. The empty, dead-silent ambience and the unsettling surrealist nature (like the toys littered on the ceiling and the doors and windows vanished without a trace) makes the horror experience cranked up to eleven.
What got me in Stephen King's *It* was the taunting Beverly endured, the blood all over the bathroom and her father seeing _none_ of it. Oh he saw that she cut her hair, expressed his disapproval.
I grew up _terrified_ of demons. My religion taught us they were real and they hated us for being true Christians. But their ability to taunt me, make me see and hear things in the dark... (Terror is so cruel in that it causes the human mind to see and hear things that the victim fears the most). ...and the only thing a parent or elder can do is say a friggin prayer. I even had God's name *JEHOVAH* written on sheets of paper and taped everywhere in my bedroom at one point in a futile effort at self-protection!
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the demons, the fallen angels will soon be captured and confined to the abyss, and 1,000 years after that they will be annihilated. They cannot attack Jehovah but they've got His people they can attack. And if a small child wasn't worthy of God's protection because of disobedience or just not being good enough? Well, they'd make an excellent target for a demon's rage, thirst for vengeance.
So the sounds from the closet and under the bed, the moving shadows, meant I wasn't good enough for God. And of course I never told my non-JW stepfather or anyone outside the religion. Who would believe me? The useless prayers from the elders and my pedo mother didn't do shit for me either.
It wasn't scary, horrific or frightning. I would say it's just purified "dread". Spent most of the movie just dreading something looming out of the darkness.
Well said, my experience was I felt constipated or that sick gut.
What you're describing is terror. Skinamarink is a masterclass in building terror
Its purified mid
I find this film to be oddly comforting. The nightmarish visuals and that unsettling dread fit the nightmares I used to have as a kid, and that I still get at times. There's nobody around to help, it's just you and a mysterious entity. So chilling.
I've loved the response to this movie almost as much as I loved this movie. It made people angry, like "it's so boring! I hated it! It made me so mad!" and like... okay... so it worked then?
I'm torn! Before this, I personally had little interest in watching Skinamarink but I trust Screened. I'm gonna have to come back to this video once I've watched the movie.
This movie reminds me of Are You Afraid of the Dark, in a good way. Really a good use of childhood fears and nightmares
Hum, all these makes me confirm that abstract fear is not universal. I was fighting boredom, not my demons.
When I was 14 i woke up on a hot summer night to tv left on. Drifting in and out of sleep I started paying attention to listening to the TV, I wear glasses so I couldnt see the show. What was airing what that episode of the X Files where the episode is styled as an episode of the COPS tv show, and there were hunting for a creature. I didnt ever watch many episode of the show before, mostly asleep, and essentially blind, listening more the episode started scaring me. The reality nature of the show convinced this was real. After 10 minutes or so my heart rated woke me up i worked up the courage to get my glasses and watch the show. Seconds later I realized what was happening.
Just letting you know that you can turn comments on again in the settings of your last video! Happens to me all the time because of kids in the movies, after a couple of times they stay on.
Thanks I will try that out👍
i hope this channel will never get IGN treatment like Cinefix did. Clint Gage used to be alot in them and those videos were always great and educational
Never watching this. I like my sanity as untouched as possible
Have you ever thought it might reenforce your sanity?
@@einienj3281 absolutely wont
@@caasi113 okie dokie..
Same 😂
90s camcorders didn't look like 16mm film!
Please can you bring back the video about You were Never Really Here ? I miss it deeply and you made such a masterpiece of a video with it I would beso happy and I know I would not be the only one to see it back
Yes that is definitely something I will do!
thank you a lot @@Screened
"DONT TAKE THE AMOUNGUS POTION!!!!"
Someone took away your video on “You we’re never really here”.
May I have it?
I’d watch it once a month or so for self reflective clarity.
I’d have downloaded it if I suspected a copyright claim would have taken it away.
I will even pay you for the file. I won’t reupload it. I just want it for myself.
Please.
I know i can't watch this movie cuz I'm a scardy cat but how is it that even your video is kinda scary 😅
Bro let’s be Fr, good idea, bad execution. Skinamarink is a perfect example of something that should have been a short 15 minute RUclips film, rather than a almost 2 hours long movie.

I just don't get this. I was bored out of my fucking mind. Critics said it rewards patience. In my experience, it rewarded boredom with more boredom. Maybe because I never experienced this in childhood. I had no fear of the night as a kid. So I can't relate at all.

It was at least an hour too long for me, and too abstract to be scary.
As a kid I was scared of dying suddenly.. more of my parents dying suddenly.. (my uncle committed suicide when I was 8).. I've become an atheist since, and witnessed multiple deaths and suicides.. I'm not afraid of death anymore, I'm going to be fuc*ing pissed off if I don't get my forever sleep after I die.. death isn't the enemy, it's a gift..
As an atheist you probably shouldn't believe that death is sleep or a gift or anything like that.
It has nothing to do with life, it's just nothingness, the same like the time before you were born.
@@xPsYchoMind Death is "forever sleep" and a gift.. those have nothing to do with any gods..
@@einienj3281 gift from who then? And why sleep, if to able to experience sleep you need to be alive? Why should the death be either an enemy or a gift?
@@xPsYchoMind They are a figure of speech, which most people understand, that's all..
@@xPsYchoMind You are looking way too deep into this.. there is no gotcha moment here for you..
The only thing that movie took advantage of is my fear of being bored
Can the meme of “skinamarink is scary” just end?
It’s not
It’s dull. Boring. There’s nothing. No story, no characters. It’s awful

3 second attention span zoomer take
@@gent9358 there are only 3 scares in the movie. And they are all shitty jumpscares.
@@itobin2957 you cannot show me an empty wall and pretend it has a story
Shhhhh you'll upset the art movie people who think having a plot or anything happening on screen spoils the purity of the experience
