some of my favourite horror scenes is that one in “strangers” when the lady is on the call and the killer just walks in the background, the flooding basement scene from “A quiet place”, the original ending from “Descent” and the back to back digestion and chimp scene from “Nope”
The way that my jaw dropped at that Grey's Anatomy reveal. Thanks for another great share of your favorites. Wishing Pancake (the pup + pup's parents) and all the lovely people here a happy Halloween!
Enjoy your algorithm boost. Your videos definitely feel higher quality than the subscriber count you have. I feel like you're an uncut gem that is gonna be huge in a year
I almost clicked off the video at the Grey’s Anatomy bit because realistic medical horror is one of the few things I can’t stomach at all, but the reveal made me laugh hard enough to wake my pets. As for my favorite horror scenes that make me the good kind of scared, for fun I gotta go with the chest mouth from The Thing. It’s a perfect dramatic moment, the practical effects are some of the best of all time, and it’s an absolute delight to watch this movie with someone who hasn’t seen it just for the screams. As for a scene that legit scared me, the first time Laura Dern walks down the dark hallway to the bedroom of the house in Inland Empire. It’s very personal, but that whole film is identical to what my nightmares are like. I have been in that hallway. It doesn’t matter if there’s anything in the bedroom waiting for her, just being locked into that space without knowing what’s going on or how she got there is more than enough. So yeah I agree, Lynch is the best to ever do it.
16:50 The monster release is one of my favorite moments because of all of the fridge horror that results from kills happening so quickly and on top of each other that you don't really have time to register how messed up they were until way after you watch or a re-watch. Take, for example, the ghost that literally yoinks a security guard's soul out of his body during that first sequence *shivers*
Loving the turn of this channel! Your editing and extensive knowledge of cult classics is very entertaining. I’ve been binging your videos for the past 3 days and I can’t wait until you release more
This channel is among the best I've encountered when it comes to consistently creating exceptional videos. I mean, even the spoiler warnings are always so beautiful.
9:12 IIRC Rob Jabbaz said the subway scene was loosely based on a video of someone attacking people on a train/subway. That’s part of the reason it feels so real to me
When you were talking about Possession it made me think of McKenna Grace who in is The Haunting of Hill House the newest Ghostbuster films and The Handmaids Tale, she is really great in all of them but in the HandmaidsTale she is amazing especially for a 16 year old playing the part she does.
When you mentioned movies you don't think you should like, it made me think of The Boy. It's ridiculous and stupid, but that twist reveal towards the end has to be one of my favorite horror experiences of all time. It's a pretty obvious twist in retrospect but I straight up didn't think the movie was clever enough to do something like that so I never even considered it. It's still one my favorite Bad But Also Kinda Good movies.
Although it might not exactly count, I've always found the farmhouse nightmare in The Sopranos where Tony sees his mother's silhouette glide down the stairs at him absolutely bone-chilling
I only found this channel after it changed, honestly am so glad you did cause your videos are amazing. I get really excited when I see one, love your style of intro too with the spoilers. Gonna go get myself a cuppa and watch the rest now :D
I didn't realize how early I was!! My god man, you have such a precise way of communicating your ideas and feelings regarding film and television. I have never properly understood how much a person can enjoy film until I started watching your videos. I would love to see your takes on quite literally anything. I am always looking forward to the next video, and I can never find myself disagreeing with your opinions.
My favorite OCD movie, while not being Explicitly and Solely about it, is Beau Is Afraid. The way it's like, the WHAT IF ocd is always whispering about what if this horrific thing happened and what if it WAS in FACT your fault it's just so good. Very hit or miss movie but for me it just gives me goose bumps. He's just like me fr.
Is it sad that when you brought up Grey’s anatomy I knew you were gonna talk about the musical episode? I binged that with my sister over quarantine and when they started singing we were considering the possibility of a shared hallucination.
I gotta say, this morning I was desperately looking for video essays to watch as I prefer my commute to work with a podcast or video essay. I couldn’t find any but during my break I found the depictions of hell video and I’ve binge watched most of your videos while working today 🤣
Mr. InBetween has an excellent episode that shows how quickly and quietly a child abduction can happen. The premise of the show is that Ray is a hitman and we often see him at ease in his surroundings, but his friend's child is taken just a stone's throw away from him and even pulling in favors it takes hours to find her. The show is usually full of humor but this episode is tense and Ray, who we usually see using guns, ends the episode by stripping down and beating four people to death with a shovel and presumably leaving their bodies hidden for who knows how long.
One of my favorite shows of all time! Great shout, love that episode, the moment when the panic sets in for him in the store is so uncomftorable. Mr Inbetween has almost been in so many of my videos just hasnt quite happened yet. Personal favorite episode besides probably the two part season 1 finale is the other child abduction related episode, adore the ending shot where Ghost Riders plays & he goes back into the cave
my favorites are the falling body scene in Fall of the House of Usher, any fight scene in NBC Hannibal (honestly the whole show), the reveal of the jotunn in The Ritual, and the basement reveal in Parasite
in relation to your professor story i recently watched xmen 2 and she stuck a needle into the guys back and it gave me flashbacks to when that happened to me in the hospital so i feel you
I think you could make a great video on depictions of immortality, I’d love to see what you’d show and think it would really fit in with your the rest of the series. If you ever do though, check out Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who and Torchwood. A very unique portrayal of immortality in that Jack never stops caring about people and the world around him, whereas most immortals in media end up as tired and apathetic to everything. There’s literally another bunch of immortals in Dr. Who who are exactly that
Another great video!! Also, just wanted to say: given your taste in horror movies, i think you'd be really interested in When Evil Lurks! It's an Argentinean horror movie about demon possesion which (in my opinion) treats demon possesion in a really interesting way. It's also EXTREMELY brutal and doesn't give plot armor to ANYBODY which is both really cool and just. Utterly horrifying. I could barely stomach the movie on cinemas but i think you would like it!
Thanks for the recommendation, I have seen it, I was really into the first half, the scare with the dog is an all timer, but it lost me towards the end I just got too frustrated with the characters' dumb decision making
@PancakeOnRUclips yeah that's valid. I think it was an intentional choice to have the protagonist make the worst decisions to give a message, but they definitely overdid it a bit. To quote a youtube comment i saw about it: "the movie where the main character is SUCH a country guy he'd rather listen to the devil than a woman"
14:30 oh! if you want a depiction of that, there's an episode of "welcome to Irabu's Office" (it's an anime about various psychological troubles) that deals with it. there are moments that kind of look like this in the episode. I must warn you though, the series is very strange in a lot of aspects.
I’ve seen nearly all of these, and a lot more that I’d say are equal, some more crazy, some less, but I will never dare attempt to watch that episode of Grey’s Anatomy. The tv episode Musical trend, then shows that are musicals trend, was scary enough. Also, when they first show the Wayans Brothers, as the White Chicks, it truly scared me more than anything as a kid, or since. I don’t know what I was expecting, but that movie is a horror show, if one can’t suspend their disbelief. 😄
Pancake been watching for a while now, I know it ain’t exactly what you do, but PLEASE make a video about house MD’s psychedelic elements. Not enough people talk about it
I think that Gray's Anatomy episode totally ripped off Scrubs Season 6 Episode 6 "My Musical" IMHO the scrubs episode works because it's not just a jukebox musical and is in fact a musical episode.
Some of mine are the scene in The Shinning where Jack is talking to the camera in the bar, the scene where Dave Bowman is out in space and “kills” Hal, and the scenes of dread in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).
I dont know if you know i think the sadness has actually drawn inspiration from a comic book series with a similar premise called the Crossed, made by the same guy who made the The Boys comics
Fellow ocd-sufferer here. Never had an interest in watching that movie before but now I do, because as you said, depiction of OCD in media usually so idiotic and far off the mark. Ps: Lynch moment that bothered me the most in a visceral immediate way: The lot behind Winkies from Mulholland Drive. 😅
9:30 what your professor was likely referring to is the concept of "signal detection theory", by the way. It's the propensity to engage in behaviours based on the likelihood of false positives versus false negatives and the consequences therefrom. Simple example, you're a deer and the grass rustles. 99.99999999999% of the time it's just the wind. That last 0.00000000001% of the time, it'd a bobcat about to bite your neck. So you run every time. Why? Because the consequence of a false negative is death and the consequence of a false positive is some unnecessary running, the tolerance for false negatives approaches 0. Similarly, man walks into your restaurant with a visible firearm, maybe 99.99999% of the time they're just here to eat, but that last 0.00001% of the time, you die. Not worth the risk, yeah?
That moment in Funny Games ruined the movie for me. No, maybe i shoukd say ruined the 'vibe' of the movie. The other fourth-wall-breaks feel a little different because there are movies that have this kind of talking to the audience, but the character is not aware of the act itself. But that moment where he rewinds and saves his partner makes it clear that they are something more, something beyond. The horror that comes from these strangers that are some psyco sadists goes away as now you know you are toys for gods and your fate was inevitable. That just takes away the terror that is the human nature, the knowledge of a 'superior' being makes the suffering or deaths 'less' as there is a 'bigger' pov, a greater world, and noone cries for ants being stomped
after seeing the grey anatomy one, I want to see an episode of TV that is exactly like that but it is horror as the main charater/viewer realizes that the songs are common tropes in episodes of their show that go horribly bad and they have to now live through their death while listening to all these awful pop songs
in found the recent film Abagail pretty meh overall. some things were good bad like the floating part. but my favorite holy fuck where did that come from moment is how the vampires just fucking explode and its awesome, the practical effects go hard.
I don’t think the second Insidious was transphobic. His mother deliberately went out of her way to raise him as a girl when he didn’t want to be. How is this phobic????
I just gotta say I'm so grateful that your channel randomly popped up on my feed 😅
Same
Me too 🤣
SAME IM ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED
same

The ammount of production in your videos is actually insane, its crazy how you have not reached a more huge audience, keep up!
I almost clicked off the video at the Grey’s Anatomy bit because realistic medical horror is one of the few things I can’t stomach at all, but the reveal made me laugh hard enough to wake my pets.

Would've loved to see the ghost scene from Kairo mentioned as well. One of my personal favorites, so otherworldly and terrifying in such a muted way.
It made the shortlist! Fantastic scene it'll pop up on this channel eventually
This channel is among the best I've encountered when it comes to consistently creating exceptional videos. I mean, even the spoiler warnings are always so beautiful.
Always love to see more Shin Godzilla appreciation. Truly unmatched
9:12 IIRC Rob Jabbaz said the subway scene was loosely based on a video of someone attacking people on a train/subway. That’s part of the reason it feels so real to me
Having possesion and greys anatomy on the same list is so funny
When you were talking about Possession it made me think of McKenna Grace who in is The Haunting of Hill House the newest Ghostbuster films and The Handmaids Tale, she is really great in all of them but in the HandmaidsTale she is amazing especially for a 16 year old playing the part she does.
Shouting out that musical greys anatomy ep and commendong the best godzilla movie is why im subbed
I literally dont understand how you don't have more subs dude your videos rule
When you mentioned movies you don't think you should like, it made me think of The Boy. It's ridiculous and stupid, but that twist reveal towards the end has to be one of my favorite horror experiences of all time. It's a pretty obvious twist in retrospect but I straight up didn't think the movie was clever enough to do something like that so I never even considered it. It's still one my favorite Bad But Also Kinda Good movies.
not the pink heart text on possession 💀🤣 can you believe it’s being remade 😭😭
Lol thanks, nah first I've heard that
Although it might not exactly count, I've always found the farmhouse nightmare in The Sopranos where Tony sees his mother's silhouette glide down the stairs at him absolutely bone-chilling
Agreed 100%
Clicked on this video hoping you’d talk about Funny Games, laughed in surprised/joy when it was the first thing mentioned in the video
I only found this channel after it changed, honestly am so glad you did cause your videos are amazing. I get really excited when I see one, love your style of intro too with the spoilers. Gonna go get myself a cuppa and watch the rest now :D
I didn't realize how early I was!! My god man, you have such a precise way of communicating your ideas and feelings regarding film and television. I have never properly understood how much a person can enjoy film until I started watching your videos.

Happy Halloween! you have quickly become one of my favorite youtube channels!
Your spoiler warning section is always so fantastic
pancake you not only put me onto a bunch of movies but also air out opinions i’ve had on them for the rest of the internet. thanks man
Love your channel and hope it’ll grow more in the future, you deserve a bigger audience !
Im so glad i randomly found your channel! This is my second video of yours but i plan on binging them all today. Keep it up man
youre great, im having a blast, every video

I gotta say, this morning I was desperately looking for video essays to watch as I prefer my commute to work with a podcast or video essay. I couldn’t find any but during my break I found the depictions of hell video and I’ve binge watched most of your videos while working today 🤣

I watched Funny Games for a film class in college. Led to a great discussion
bro dropped two bangers within a week
Remember everyone, no coughing around Pancake.
in relation to your professor story i recently watched xmen 2 and she stuck a needle into the guys back and it gave me flashbacks to when that happened to me in the hospital so i feel you

Using Viner Hand ITC for the "Angst" titlecard is perfect 😂
Ha ha thanks! I put way too much thought into the font choices I really appreciate that you caught that
Another great video!! Also, just wanted to say: given your taste in horror movies, i think you'd be really interested in When Evil Lurks!

To quote a youtube comment i saw about it: "the movie where the main character is SUCH a country guy he'd rather listen to the devil than a woman"
Shin Godzilla changed me, I think about it all the time, I rewatch the atomic breath scene a lot too, the song is haunting.
Yay new pancake video :3
Love the vids my guy 😘
I never expected to hear Sin Godzilla’s name from English media that is such a good movie
Shin godzilla mentioned hell yeah
Aye man keep pushing shit out don’t burn out tho!!
14:30 oh! if you want a depiction of that, there's an episode of "welcome to Irabu's Office" (it's an anime about various psychological troubles) that deals with it. there are moments that kind of look like this in the episode.

GOD YES i just watched sadness with my dad(his first time)
ive never looked up reviews but im very surprised 60% audience on rotten and imdb??
Dude i NEED you ymto stop rapid posting, you give such good content and I'd hate to see you get burnt out fast in your youtube career
The Innocents mentioned!!!
Some of mine are the scene in The Shinning where Jack is talking to the camera in the bar, the scene where Dave Bowman is out in space and “kills” Hal, and the scenes of dread in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).
I dont know if you know i think the sadness has actually drawn inspiration from a comic book series with a similar premise called the Crossed, made by the same guy who made the The Boys comics
I did not know thanks! Adding it to my reading list
I love your videos dude! I would love to hear your opinions your favourite depictions of ghosts
Fellow ocd-sufferer here. Never had an interest in watching that movie before but now I do, because as you said, depiction of OCD in media usually so idiotic and far off the mark.

What movie had a reference to the subway scene in Possession?
9:30 what your professor was likely referring to is the concept of "signal detection theory", by the way. It's the propensity to engage in behaviours based on the likelihood of false positives versus false negatives and the consequences therefrom.

favorate monsters in horror or monster flick (not kaiju), their design, sound representation etc. that would be a fun vidyo
Whats the recent horror release that paid tribute to possession?
That moment in Funny Games ruined the movie for me. No, maybe i shoukd say ruined the 'vibe' of the movie. The other fourth-wall-breaks feel a little different because there are movies that have this kind of talking to the audience, but the character is not aware of the act itself.

what movie was he talking about that he says references the possession scene?
The film was The First Omen
after seeing the grey anatomy one, I want to see an episode of TV that is exactly like that but it is horror as the main charater/viewer realizes that the songs are common tropes in episodes of their show that go horribly bad and they have to now live through their death while listening to all these awful pop songs
YOU. ARE. SO. DAMN. COOL!!!!!
in found the recent film Abagail pretty meh overall. some things were good bad like the floating part. but my favorite holy fuck where did that come from moment is how the vampires just fucking explode and its awesome, the practical effects go hard.
9:25 😂😂😂😂
I don’t think the second Insidious was transphobic. His mother deliberately went out of her way to raise him as a girl when he didn’t want to be. How is this phobic????
Which funny games is better
Are you pancake or pancake its the name of the dog?
Yes
your wife ???
Bro is scared of open carry laws 😂
Saying that you straight its biggest lie I've ever hear
