He had such a good opportunity with the way he played the game during the weeks before hand.. he had alot of the Internet waiting on his countdown. Then it ends up being a gore video with some dude yelling down on you saying that everyone is the problem.

I mean abortion is an issue of our time but talk about a missed opportunity.

This one and every variation.

We all just moved on immediately and I have never needed therapy nor do I have any mental issues now. It's been 25 years and something just randomly reminded me of it.

Fucking WEW LAD

Something that I hate is when they write and say shit that crappily foreshadows something bad happening.

"We were so happy that day at the park. The sun was shining, her hair was reflecting its light as she looked into my eyes. How could I know it would all change?"

>or so i thought
>if only i knew

I'm not even sure why it bothers me. Hello, shitty writer, you are writing a scary story. You shouldn't give away the twist that way. We all know the story is going to turn, you don't have to seem like someone trying to imitate a hard thinking novelist persona.

>whom thought leaving things vividly to the readers imagination was good enough.

Thats the fucking point, the monsters are supposed to be so alien and different that we can't even comprehend them

Now all my tales are based on the fundamental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large. To me there is nothing but puerility in a tale in which the human form—and the local human passions and conditions and standards—are depicted as native to other worlds or other universes. To achieve the essence of real externality, whether of time or space or dimension, one must forget that such things as organic life, good and evil, love and hate, and all such local attributes of a negligible and temporary race called mankind, have any existence at all. Only the human scenes and characters must have human qualities. These must be handled with unsparing realism, (not catch-penny romanticism) but when we cross the line to the boundless and hideous unknown—the shadow-haunted Outside—we must remember to leave our humanity and terrestrialism at the threshold.
— H. P. Lovecraft, in note to the editor of Weird Tales, on resubmission of "The Call of Cthulhu"

>>18884266
It's like attacking Skyrim for having incredibly boring, uninspired, and samey world and level design, and that isn't valid?

Lol just lol my dude, he didn't even say Lovecraft was bad, just that every story boils down to the same thing as every other story, a completely valid criticism.

Yeah, this pisses me off. Like I love mirror shots in horror movies... When done right. Like if there's a noise with it, it ruins the atmosphere. I like not knowing when a reveal is happening. Or even missing it the first time. I want to be in the place of the mc. The silly synth violin whine every time a reveal the mc doesn't see ruins all immersion into the story for me. Not a deal breaker 100% of the time, but it's a pretty serious issue for me.

Also
>don't call cops
>or if they do, 911 call is dropped
>no one comes until hours later after everyone is dead
Shit, a friend dared me to call 911 as a kid. I did, and the police were over in about 20 minutes.
>I was dumb and poor and we had no phone, so I though 911 was a fake number because it wasn't 7 digits

>story tries to hook you in with something cryptic and ominous from the get go, then the narrator backpedals to start from the beginning of his tale
oooOoOOO "rosebud" fuck off. Just get to the point faggot.

>>18883821
Holy shit, thank you. One of the worst offenders of this trope is an unintentionally terrible creepypasta named "The wanderer of the tracks". Everyone should read it if they want to learn how NOT to write a horror story.

>>18884220
Lovecraft is absolutely not above criticism, I mean really he wasn't even a good writer, and half his monsters are allegories for niggers. Doesn't change the fact that you're too stupid to understand his stuff.

One of my favorite things was in The Strangers where in the middle of a completely normal scene you can see the killer standing in the hallway, but there's no musical stings or anything and you can completely miss it if you aren't looking.

Jesus Christ, this. So fucking much. The longer the story is, the worse it gets.

Seriously, if you have the time to write down your fucking master's thesis-sized story in the time it takes the monster to get you, then it probably isn't as life-threatening of a situation as you made it out to be.

King was heavily influenced by Lovecraft. Would a demonic clown have been scarier than a huge psychic spider? It seems to me that It involves a theme of the substance below the surface layer. The clown is fake. Derry is a front. The kids are heroes concealed in losers.

I have never read a haunted video game story that doesn't sound like it was written by a fucking 13 year old.

>I was compelled to keep playing to find out what was going on
First of all, fucking why?
Second, if you get a game from a shoddy source like a garage sale and it's acting unusual, any sane person would think "Well fuck, I guess the disc is scratched/cartridge was wet. Oh well." and end the story right there.

Yeah I hate how everything has to be super dark and edgy to be considered scary now. Its easy to make something mediocre 'scary' if you put it in a dark environment and cover it with over the top effects, but think about the first IT. The original Pennywise (Tim Curry) had sharp teeth and would pop out of a sewer grate yeah, but he didn't really need all that, He was scary when he was just being a goofy clown in the library in broad daylight as well.

Sorry.. forgot I posted in this thread.

Here is the vid I was talking about:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wIu7GanVRH8

>warning: graphic abortion vid showing dead babies and angry white man NSFW

basically dude had a group of people leaving "beast bills" all over the country for a few weeks. Pic related. Bills had alot of hidden info and had many people sitting bricks trying to figure out what it all ment.

Eventually people were led to a site with a timer counting down. Once it went to zero, the vid above was shown.

Internet was literally like "wtf... all that and the end game was this?"

Mad Internet proceeded to dox dude.. and that's about the time that I checked out of the soap opera so I'm not sure if anything else happened.

Dude had the Internet hanging on his every move and he blew his load over some angry anti abortion shit.

>lost opportunity

Any "twist" that's excessively used and predictable.

The Fight Club twist and the Bioshock mission control twist are the worst offenders.

>>movie is found footage , clearly shows the MC getting killed , two minutes later the narrator says "cops didn't find the cause of death"

I think that because horror is a genre based on surprise and suspense it's kind of counterproductive to have a favorite cliche.

If you think 10 cloverfield lane is horror then you must be a massive fucking pussy.

There is literally nothing remotely disturbing or scary or creepy or even startling in this movie. Nothing in it sticks in your head after it's over. It doesn't even qualify as a jump scare kind of horror

I can't get scared by any horror media where the main characters do remarkably dumb shit

>>18889146

>>Never nope out of a clearly weird situation. yeah just enter the room everyone told you not to after you've seen like 3 ghosts throwing stuff at you.
To be fair, that's plausible behavior. There's such a thing as mental inertia where you later realize that you should have just fucking stopped.
Just like the "idiot searches for shit in the antic" syndrome. It's not idiotic unless you know that it's a horror movie.
Zombies are also scary as shit from a real life perspective.

My assumption is that stories used to be made for people who can relate.
Nowadays stories are working with higher concepts and more detached audiences. That's why zombies are now cannon fodder and these "oh god what an idiot" tropes are disappearing.

>>18889146
So what's the movie like?
I watched the first Cloverfield and the only thing that kinda terrified me was the very end.

I didn't even know it was a Cloverfield sequel until I found out that there's a third scheduled for this year.

>the monster was the protagonist all along
I think Lovecraft's The Outsider is the only time this was done well.

>>18884121
Most of Lovecraft's stories don't actually rely on that as heavily as it's been memed. A lot of them are also just kind of shitty attempts to write in the style of Edgar Allen Poe, or rip offs of other stories like Frankenstein.

>>18888901
Women give a shit. That's why they do it.

>>18882035
NONONO

>>18889306
It's not related to Cloverfield whatsoever.
I think the original title was "The Shelter" or something. The producers thought no one would give a shit so they attached the name Cloverfield and called it a day.

The movie however is great. Tom Goodman takes a woman into an underground bunker because of an unknown cataclysmic event that happened on the surface. For most of the movie you're wondering if there's an actual event or Tom Goodman's just psychotic.

I'm a sucker for intense, intimidating characters and Goodman fucking nails it. Definitely recommend it.

>>18889325
>It's not related to Cloverfield whatsoever.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield
>While a proper sequel to the film has not yet materialized, despite years of rumors and consideration, the film did serve as the first in a series of pictures set in a common universe, which also consists of 2016's 10 Cloverfield Lane and the upcoming 2017 film God Particle.

So it's basically a movie about prolonged exposure to a madman in close quarters?

>>18889335
Yea, pretty much.
And yes, there are little hints that it's the same universe, there's a gas station and a slushie type product that have the same names in both movies but the events in Cloverfield aren't referenced at all in Lane.

I haven't seen this, but wouldn't just adding the Cloverfield title automatically ruin this aspect because it already confirms to the audience that the cataclysmic events from Cloverfield actually did/are happening in this world?

>>18889435
It has absolutely nothing to do with the Cloverfield monster.
It's not brought up a single time during the entire movie.

The movie was pretty much done when JJ Abrams stepped in and decide to make it a pseudo sequel by putting the words "Cloverfield Ln." on a mailbox.

in like literally every Stephen King book he gets bored towards the end and randomly turns the book into a thriller in order to end it, like turning Pennywise into a giant spider or some shit. It would have honestly been scarier if Pennywise just remained as a manevolent clown spirit.

The worst thing is I see this stuff influencing other writers: where they spend the entire story or book having ~sporadic spooky things~ happen and then they just go full Giant Spider mode with it and turn it into some sort of LSD trip.

It's just not scary, because it's not believable. I don't feel scared watching Dr Who fight off an army of rabid Ood because it's not in any way relateable to me. Same with kids fighting a giant spider underground

I hate this one so fucking much sometimes. Sometimes the movie will take the time to establish that going to a motel is useless because "it just follows you there," or it carefully makes sure that the really intense shit hits the fan stuff happens all at once at the end and the family couldn't possibly have realized it would get that bad with the very minor things that happend before that they didn't notice, and I appreciate that. But in a lot of them they totally realize that what is happening keeps slowly getting worse and worse and already really fucked up stuff happens, and they just retardedly refuse to budge. Usually the excuse is "well there's just too much money tied up in the house, we can't leave." Bitch, you know you are going to die if you stay. If there were a gas leak and you were breathing deadly fumes, you wouldn't just say "oh well, a hotel is too expensive, nothing we can do lol," you would get the fuck out and go huddle under a bridge if you had to.

I think I got especially pissed at one scene I saw in the first season of American Horror Story back when it was first coming out, where the dad suggested that if they tightened their belts, the family of 3 could just barely afford a studio apartment and wouldn't have to stay in the spooky murder house that was actively trying to kill them, that was totally an option they had and the wife just makes this awful disgusted sneer and sarcastically says "a studio apartment? really? no way." and shoots it right down. Maybe it was supposed to be a joke, but it just made me so fucking pissed thinking there are probably rich people that are actually like this.

I like this a lot in kids cartoons like the Rocko's Modern Life Halloween special, I think its cute. I've never seen it done unironically though, I imagine that would be pretty fucking retarded.

It's pretty common to check something out and if you don't then your story is just that you heard a sound and became a bitch

My mom always tells me I used to claim I was friends with a man that lived in a room we use for storage
Pretty common for kids to write stuff like that off at a young age

Yeah but you can still describe it vaguely, height, colour, width, appendages, number of eyes, etc

didn't see 2 but 1 was a good movie. I loved the "it"s always night bitch" time paradox thingy.

>character keeps repeating "this is so scary" or "im sooooo scared"

some seem to think that this is all it takes to make a story frightening

>>18882040
does work in erotica tho...

I liked that in A Cabin in the Woods, but that isn't really a horror movie

Well I mean in all fairness, there's a reason nobody tells stories about not checking something out...

What kind of piece of shit camera do these movie protags use? Thing glitches out more than a Bethesda game.

Overdone, and cliché at this point. Stop.

What we need is a found footage movie, filmed by the killer.

Gore and comedy. Almost always done wrong. Rarely done very well, and is both funny and revolting.

While Lovecraft was definitely racist, I think it would be kind of a stretch to say that his views permeated into any of his work besides a few notable exceptions

>>18886949
The creature is supposed to represent fear incarnate. It is older than humanity and can take several forms.

Haunted tapes of movies, tv or video games.
