Why are there no good spooky movies?

We've had a metric fuckton of horror and gore porn flicks but nothing that even comes close to the level of a decent creepypasta.

I'm with you OP. Where is the film equivalent of this?

Maybe it's because really spooky things make you imagine them in first person.
Movies in first person just don't really work.
Not to mention the special effects issues.

I always thought the creepypasta Dust would make a great short film.

Jacob's Ladder is spoopy.

The internet was a mistake

>>>>>>>>decent creepypasta

...

such a good movie

>I didn't even have time to eat fires

I love that it sets you up to expect some sort of hum-drum horror but then it takes things in a subtler and spookier direction.

chapstick

Watch more movies.
Here's a good one.

There are plenty well written ones, you just have to look

How can you stand to listen to someone else read these? I never understood the appeal of audio books.

most horror movies suffer from the same pitfall. Once the monster or ghost is revealed it loses everything that made it scary.
What is truly scary is ambiguous horror. This is because the feeling of being scared is in itself rooted in your own subconscious and not in the physical. Things unknown are much spookier than things known.
I find that plebs that like horror generally don't see it this way and actually need a fully fledged monster or ghost to be scared. But this provides only a short superficial scare. Good horror is something that lingers around in your mind and makes you fill in the blanks. it never has a true resolution or reveal.

To me this is obvious with the split between people who think Lake Mungo is a movie where nothing happens and isn't scary in the slightest and people who think it's the most terrifying film of all time.

Most terrifying film of all time is a pretty big stretch even if you do like it.

I won't say the entire movie is that great, and there certainly is a lot of not much happening, but that particular scene scared me like no other scene ever has a stayed with me for a long time. and the not much happening scenes really help add to the realism of it all.

It's just like someone telling you a story. Did your mom not tell you bedtime stories user? :(

They're best when there are a number of different readers taking the different character parts. rather than the same person affecting different ones.

That's true

>find an abandoned Mcdonalds filled with mutilated corpses
>throw up into a garbage can filled with more corpses
>"Wew Zack! We're pretty hungry though huh, let's go around the corpses and grab a burger and fries my dude. Haha I'm lovin' it!"

>Summerfags that don't get satire.
holy shit you plebs, I bet none of you redditors even know who was phone

>so Zack pulled out his gun and shot at it

What's that one series of pastas that all start with odd instructions like "In X city go to X hotel and give the concierge a king card from a deck of bicycle playing cards and follow as they lead you to a plain red door" or something and usually ended up going to some kind of extra dimensional location or different plane?

Fucking brilliant.

That sounds actually creepy.

Never seen this mungo but you sound retarded

It's because the written media is inherently superior to movies, particularly when it comes to horror.

The Holders series

The scariest movies aren't horror movies

Creepypastas arent spooky unless you're 10 years old

No offense, OP, but I highly doubt you've seen enough horror movies to be a fair judge of this.

Thanks friend, it's been a while

>when americans try to meme

Penpal is the shit.

CGI ruined horror genre.

Are we just throwing up random pictures with our posts now?

music videos are thousand times more creepy than horror films because music videos won't explain the disturbing images they show to you. A horror film will, and that is the moment it becomes non-scary

Session 9 is the spookiest movie I've seen.

They and The Return are creepkino

The original Woman in Black is quite creepy; in some places, absolutely terrifying.

Nice. Any recs for good and recent pastas? Seen all the famous/imfamous ones already

i love this more and more each time i read through

A lot of people only appreciate the subtle terror of being unable to find time to eat fries, but overlook the surrealist horror that permeates the story throughout, from the car that needs "a rest" because it was out of gas (despite there being backup gas in the trunk all along) all the way to the abnormally long newspaper headline. It really is a masterwork of its genre.

That pic is abosolutely kino

kek

Patrician taste

this and the signalman from 1976 are spook kino however it doesnt feel right to watch them in the summer, for sure best in autumn/winter

>this fucking post
>when you know the user is an underage faggot

...

I've been meaning to check out those MR James adaptations for awhile. I love his stories, but yeah, feels like more of a fall/winter deal.

Didn't jump once, this isn't spooky!

>phone
Phone like a mobile?

Estonian folklore is kino horror

youtube.com/watch?v=y2YZ1X1OhD4

that fucking ending

mothman was pretty good, though it had some flaws

most horror from japan is top notch too

Noroi fucked me up.

What more do you expect from the inspiration of Silent Hill? Speaking of inspirations of Silent Hill, Twin Peaks is capable of being eerie at times. Actually all of David Lynch's work kinda count, especially that diner conversation in Mulholland Dr.

Psychosis is complete shit. I'd place Pale Luna there instead

>Doesn't think Blair Witch Project is the direct predecessor to creepypastas

Anyone help me with this? Horror movie about that large forest in japan where a lot of people go to commit suicide. Remember seeing a trailer of it and looked aight. Anybody know the name or if it's even worth watching?

>Woman in Black
can you precise which one, poster maybe? IMDB has several results

He specified the original (1989) version

AHMARGHARD STROBES ARE SCARY

Is it as good as the play? Because the play is fucking awesome.

You mean spooky tales didn't exist before then?

I think he meant it was a direct descendant of creepypastas. Along with urban legends of course

That's straight out of a T. Ligotti short story.

Creepypasta? More like COPYpasta, ammarite?

99% of creepypastas are a direct copy of something else.

98% a direct copy of something better.

creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Jvk1166z.esp

Can any movie replicate this level of creepy?

It's shot horrow stories, but this guy made the best short scary stories/narration I've seen in Youtube.

I really, really recommend you check at least this video out. Try to just focus on the story and images (Severla times I listened but was looking at other tabs and had to go back to listne better)

Listne to these stories on the video and come back to me if they don't spook you a little bit.

>How did McDonald's end up like this?

How can you get scared BY READING i'll never understand

Spoopy Forest

>CGI ruined film.

Fixed that for you

Best sci-fi? Done without CGI
Best fantasy? Done without CGI
Best action? Done without CGI
Best animation? Done by people who draw, not processors that render

CGI and digital filming are the last stages for kino, my friends. The next frontier is VR unfortunately. The best movies have already been made and there is nowhere else for the medium to go.

>in my days, everything was better
simmer down grandpa

32 years old my friend. Hopefully you aren't much younger. I would hate to have to discard your opinion. And all those great movies I am talking about are older than either of us.

illiterate amerifat detected

eh, it was okay, not spooky though

There's more than one. Grave Halloween and The Forest. Plus one or two more.

The best readers on YouTube incorporate audio FX / music with a good reading voice to really get you immersed.

I used to listen to them in bed before I went to sleep, creates a really spooky atmosphere.

MrCreepyPasta is the best no doubt, makes sense why he's the most popular one on YouTube.

32 is ancient, pops. Take your heart medicine, I'm sure cinema will do fine without your dated opinions and practical effects.

I'll try this person, as long as they aren't total shill, I have a ranking

Really fucking weird shit tier but fucking mouthbreather bored voice(but doesn't shill) :
Beyond Creepy

Generally okay, low key, but has "guests" with shit voices:
Let's Read

Seems to only read shitty reddit stalking/whines about donations:
Be.Busta

Shills everything, try hard voice, bad guests, constant shilly:
Darkness Prevails aka Darkness Shills.

Pretentious British woman shill:
The Paranormal Scholar.

They're shit. Sorry. If you want good audio stories, listen to Mindwebs.

archive.org/details/MindWebs_201410

Check out: The Innocents, The Haunting, Diabolique, Kuroneko, Onibaba, and a whole bunch of other shit. I'm not gonna waste my time listing all of it.

Also this goes without saying but there has never been one good creepy pasta.

Cgi is only good when used to clean up stuff, slightly, used WITH practical effects. On it's own, it's shit, and the fact that the dumb way it looks doesn't seem so fake and hokey to people really surprises me.

>32 years old
>browsing Sup Forums and using overused American underage teen terms like "kino"
How do you cope with your loneliness, self-loathing, and depression?

32... ancient?

HAHAHA

You're a little shit. Let me guess, you're 21 or 22 and you will CHANGE THE WORLD kek

Let me cek at you. It's the kek I reseve for cucks such as yourself. I'm 29 and I remmeber when I was a shit like you. I thought I was so cool and knew so much. I was fucking wrong and so are you.

>le stoic horror fan
Cancerous.

>No Wickerman
C'mon step up your fucking game user

Ted the Caver

what a retard

You know how no one cares about your opinions IRL? How you don't have any friends to talk to about this stuff? Well your opinions matter even less here.

You sure don't sound triggered grandpa.

try the banshee chapter

The original Wickerman and Haxan are pretty creepy in their respective ways
