Didn’t he torture that one cop’s son or whatever because the son.......had an argument with his dad? Like you’re seriously gonna kill a kid for that? Look I understand why he tortured some of the people, but the teen boy? Fr?
The ending of The Mist should be here. The knowledge that he just unnecessarily killed his son and people he cared about in a “mercy killing”, then for him to be saved minutes later is just on a whole other level of psychological torture.
That ending messed me up! The guilt, the lack of that one extra bullet. I couldn't imagine a worse situation doing what's right to find its actually wrong.
Endless time loops are easily the worst. They don't even have to torture you while doing it. You're doomed to go insane over and over and over again with nothing ever stopping.
The worst possible torture: being the final girl in a slasher movie with too many sequels. Or Being trapped in a SAW game because of the dumbest reason.
@Anne - Honestly as someone who used to be constantly tired and considered taking my life several times SAW scared the shit out of me because he supposedly tortures/kills people who don't care about life. And makes them realize, in a painful way, that they want to live So a stupid way of being kidnapped is being suicidal
Nah, the human centipede would literally be hell. Also, (although this isn’t a horror movie) the immortal girl’s punishment in Old Guard where she was locked in an iron coffin, thrown in the ocean, and had to continuously drown and come back to life over and over and over again for eternity. This shit makes me wanna throw up.
That walrus transformation was so spine chilling and sickening, I took a 3 month break from anything horror related and watched harmless cartoons. Then I dove back in. That image will forever ingrain itself in my memory.
There’s a James Rollins book where the antagonist takes an “eternal life” serum, only to find himself in a submarine that sinks to the bottom of the arctic. Gave me the chills. Huh? Huh?
@@789raiden Yeah, probably. Still a very scary way to die. trapped at the bottom of the ocean waiting to starve to death or run out of air or the submarine caving in from water pressure
"Tusk" and "the human centipede". Two movies I've never seen (and will do everything in my power to never do), but by reading the plot and looking at images, broke me on a psychological level.
That was me for the human centipede. I just read the back of the box of the first one and I was like "nope, not ever and never by my own power will i watch this". Just the feeling i got out of reading the back of that movies box just made me sick.
I've watched both. Tusk bothered me a lot more than The Human Centipede. The Human Centipede is a disgusting concept, but for some reason Tusk drew me in much more on an emotional level. That film made me feel pure dread and heart wrenching pity for the victim.
@@natashawigley5552 SPOILER! And what's with the ending? They keep him alive, in a zoo, feeding him fish (If i remember the wiki article correctly) instead of shooting him, ending his misery. That's maybe the part that's f#@&ed me up more.
@@BULLWRINKLE didn't a baby get its head smashed in or something? It's been a few years since I've watched it but I sort of remember something like that. It shook me to my core seeing that part!
The definition of a psychopath: Talking about the absolute worst things that could possibly happen to a person for over twelve minutes, while sounding like Mary Poppins the entire time.
NO HUMAN CENTIPEDE?!?! How is that not a fate worse than death?! I have never watched that movie and never will, but oh god, that seems like way worse than death even though they do die at the end, which only seems a mercy by that point.
I mean they can (but inmprobably) survive long enough to get help, however the surgery and all that stuff would probably kill them if they didn't already die.
The ending of Midsommar, Christian’s character. Being paralyzed and unable to move or even speak/scream... having your girlfriend choose you to die over a stranger... having your legs sawn off without even being able to flinch while feeling everything... stuffed into a bear carcass... then burned alive in a temple without even being able to blink when the fire gets to his face. Horrifying.
The Netflix movie “The Old Guard”. That Asian lady couldn’t die (as well as others). They would take fatal damage and then heal in a few moments after death. The Salem guys thought she was a witch so they chained her in an iron coffin with holes in it and threw it in the ocean. They literally showed her through the coffin holes cycling between drowning and waking up over and over and over again. Very disturbing 😔.
Willy AD that actually just made it worse for me. I wouldn’t even want to spend 5 minutes being drowned over and over again. Who knows how many years she was down there, constantly unable to breath but unable to die.
The ending of "Squid Game" was similar, with the main character Gi-hun #456 making it through only to go home and find his mother had passed while he was away.
Not a horror film, but the Netflix movie “The Old Guard” where the woman is locked in the coffin underwater where she continuously drowns and comes back to life for hundreds of yearssss 😩
@@windows2785 it really should. Imagine having your lips sewn on to someone elses ass and the only thing you can eat is that person's shite after they ate it from someone else

There is a danish “kids movie” where a little girl’s soul is sealed in a glass bottle and thrown into the sea, where she will never die. tbh that shit got me thinking very existentially at a very young age😂
There's a movie called "Senseless", where a guy is kidnapped and has his senses taken away one by one in excruciatingly painful ways (because that is what he 'cared about the most'). He literally has an eyeball get scooped out with a spoon.
i thought this was the movie where a wayans brother gets his senses super heightened in very funny ways and gets to hack his way into a few things, including getting a college scholarship and his dream girl.
I appreciate the mention of the 2006 “House of Wax” remake because the wax suit is terrifying and tbh I think that movie kinda slaps when you watch it as a stand alone movie and not a remake of a Vincent Price classic and no one will change my mind. The pacing is good, the practical affects are awesome, and Elisha Cuthbert is a great final girl who is refreshingly smart and resourceful
Anna being flayed alive in Martyrs is still THE most chilling thing I've ever seen. The only thing that's left of her is her face, and even that is barely recognizable. She is totally exposed, left to live in agony, all while in a catatonic state - her expression is petrified and unmoving. All so some rich old people can hear about what the afterlife is like. Just.... brutal.
Which movie the 2008 version or 2015? Or does that happen in both movies? The 2015 version got a 4/10 on IMDB, so im guessing you're referring to the '08 version.
@@DR.K14 The original, of course. The remake was abysmal. Also in the 2015 version it's Lucie who is skinned (partially). Remake ain't even in the same league. (Sorry, I thought my description made it clear it was the original I was referring to).
I think for "The Thing", the fate worse than death is never knowing who you can trust (as shown by the ending). So you'd have to live in complete isolation from everything and everyone, in constant fear.
@@D4rkenedskies Is it anything like the game of The Thing from 2001'ish? You're part of a rescue team, and trying to find out what the f*ck happened, and the survivors you meet (NPC's) follow you & help you out, but you have these cool (and still unique today) game mechanics where those followers can decide they don't trust you anymore (based on your actions), and either go off on their own, or actually turn against you, thinking you're the Thing. Of course, any of those same survivors can also be the Thing, so you yourself have to be very careful who you trust. And the more survivors you lose, the harder it becomes to survive. I've wanted a remake or sequel to that game since forever.
You’re correct Tarek, it’s listed for the wrong thing, especially if you read the 3 comics that continue the story. The assimilation isn’t even that big a deal for the assimilated, they just wanna assimilate people and animals and build a ship to get out of the planet. You see it in the game and the 2011 movie.
IMO: The worst fate would be, to be forced to have premonitions like in Final Destination, but not dying yourself, and every time you try to intervine, the world "resets" and you become a different person having to watch a group of people die in totally fucked up ways, wth nothing to do but be witness to it all.
There's a book called The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle where a man knows a girl is gonna die but has to watch it happen through the eyes of a different person each time and there's time loops and a whole thing
The Books of Blood series was amazing! And so many great films have come from this that there could easily be a video about them...and you know, there's Rawhead Rex, that was...a film
The scene in Ex-Machina where the man gets tricked and wakes up in the inescapable glass room where you know he will eventually die of dehydration or starvation.
Wrong Turn 5 for that girl who had her eyes gouged out then is picked up in the last scene by the villains and taken back to be subjected to god knows what while completely blind. Ugh.
"Tusk has a man being sown to several murder victims, has his limbs shortened, and has the remaining bones crafted into tusks, while being turned into a walrus" Me: *F E R B , I K N O W W H A T W E ' R E G O N N A D O T O D A Y*
Yes that movie was so so good its stayed with me all these years, such a lucky Netflix find. As a vegan the final scene really got me, but really the whole movie did.
My worst fear ever is living or merely existing forever. The thought of eternity absolutely mortifies me. I would much rather stop existing and decompose into the earth.
@@rattian1976 im 30 and im good to go. if i could decide when to go and i was rich and healthy maybe i could live a lot. but when we get old we get dumb and sick. death exist for a reson. we better enjoy when young if we can
How come the sloth victim from Se7en isn't mentioned at all? Imagine being tied to a bed and kept alive through IV drips for exactly one year, while losing your mind to the point of chewing off your own tongue...
Of the one forced to eat until they died... just forcing food down your mouth constantly, shitting into an ever overflowing bucket beneath your chair. Jesus Christ.
Hereditary (2018): the movie ends with Peter destined to live presumably forever while being possessed by the soul of Lucifer's right hand man, King Paimon. Hereditary is a really really really REALLY good movie that anyone who likes actually scary horror movies should DEFINITELY watch.
Yes this movie was so good and so terrifying especially since my sister put it on and we had never seen a preview of it and we had never heard or seen anything about it. Totally came out of left field that it was a horror movie! So good! Amazing acting!
solisium It could be a fate worse than death for the first person too bc if the person behind you puked when attempting to consume your shit their vomit will be sitting in your ass.
Laurence Fishburne's character from Event Horizon should have made this list. He sacrificed himself to an eternity in a Hellish dimension to save what was left of his crew. To quote Sam Neill "Hell is only a word. The reality is SOOO much worse!"
How about Martyrs, tortured for months in a basement, beaten every day, starved, alone, and eventually having your skin removed while you’re still alive with no pain meds. They literally put her in as much physical and mental agony as they could so that she could be at a point between living and dying.
fslayer1290 it’s my absolute favorite horror movie, fucked me up good and proper the first time I saw it. The funny thing is I found it at Blockbuster and rented it the first time I saw it. Still have no idea what a hardcore French horror movie was doing at Blockbuster. And thankfully I bought an unrated blu ray copy a while back cause nowadays the blu ray for this movie is rare and very expensive.
I wish I never watched “Tusk.” Something about that movie makes me feel so weird, so disgusted, so uncomfortable. It’s the most terrifying movie I have ever watched. I can’t get that walrus out of my head. 🤮🤮🤮
Pema Lhamo glad I’m not the only one that thinks is SO BAD. I’ve only seen ONE comment like this one in this whole comment section. That movie is the most disturbing BY FAR
@Jason Berryman it's like a giant sock with a human face on the end with tusks and a moustache, also it's all skin and lots of stitched together parts (you can tell because it's covered in red lines where it's been stitched together)
I think they never talk about A Serbian Film because of just how messed up it is. Cause it involves the harm of children and I don’t think they could show clips from that. Totally agree though, that film was brutal and would def make it on the list
Tbh, there are a few episodes that involve being trapped inside some device or being tortured on loop, see White Bear, White Christmas, Playtest, Hang the DJ, Black Museum and the Miley Cyrus one. San Junipero is a "happy" story but they're still basically trapped forever...
@@InfoInsider23 Oh gosh. I research all sorts of true crime stuff, and I'm fairly desensitized to it at this point (I still recognize its awful, most just don't get to me to much anymore). The case of Junko Furuta is one of the few that I think permenatly messed me up though. Everytime I think of her case I get an empty pit in my stomach.
Say what you will about House Of 1000 Corpses, but wandering around an underground maze as one of Dr. Satan's rejected super soldier experiments for the rest of my life doesn't exactly sound like a dream vacation.
I saw this movie once at someone else's house that completely disgusted me because I hate horror movies but I didn't see it being said here. The movie name was Martyrs & I think what happened in this movie is worse than death that's for sure.
They briefly mentioned it in passing, but I expected it to be an entry on the list as well. The torment that the protagonist endured was designed, both in and out of the story, to be the most extreme imaginable, the logical end point of torture porn. It was... effective, to say the least.
At the end of one of the “Wrong Turn” movies, a girl had her eyes cut off by a hill billy and was seen wandering around aimlessly when a truck stopped for her, to what she assumed was salvation. It turned out to be the incestuous hill billies that the movies implied they were gonna use her as a breeder for their generations to come.
@King Solomon you're the one making "your mom" jokes, writing paragraphs on youtube about how you don't get a joke, but you're definitely not triggered lmao try not to seethe too hard bro
I know a good fate worse than death. Imagine being damned to die over and over again with no end to it. Each death as random as it gets but they're all very brutal.
Yes, The only thing worse than drowning for 500 years, would be being trapped in an unbreakable contraption and placed into one of those natural coal fire seams and slowly *burning* for 500 years,
@Alejandra Lima, Johnny Got His Gun surely takes the cake. The most heart-wrenching part is that Joe Bonham’s fate mirrors that of a real-life soldier in Canada
The Mist. He mercy kills his son and people he came close to since not enough bullets to shot them all and himself also. Kills them and then seconds later to be rescued. Couldn't imagine having to live after such thing.
Two endings that might intrigue viewers: The Vanishing (Dutch title: Spoorloos) from 1988 and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (short story) from 1967. I won’t spoil the endings but these are both worth watching and they would fit nicely on this video’s list
A couple honorable mentions from Ira Levin: Rosemary’s Baby: The poor woman is forced to hone her maternal instincts, while raising Satan’s spawn. The Stepford Wives (the Katharine Ross version): Joanna’s replicant demolishes the flesh-and-blood Joanna, leaving Walter and the kids with a gorgeous but subservient, dead-eyed nymphomaniac
YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE LEGENDARY! EVEN IN HELL!!! NO tears child! Its a waste of good suffering! Hey pussy-face! (okay not exactly horror, but) If you gentlemen don't mind, I'd rather not spend the entire winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!!! I can't lie to you about your chances, but... You have my sympathies... :)
That's 1 movie you couldn't pay me to watch that again. The dude begins sleeping with the chick with the big birthmark making her feel accepted and loved and then cruelly breaking up leading her attempting suicide and the end where the vegetarian eats steak I wouldn't give it away but it's not as pleasant as you'd think
@J Sang she denied the old lady extension to pay for a property which she could actually give in order to get a promotion so the old lady became angry and then tried to kill her when she went to her car and ofcourse the old lady was overpowered and killed but before she succumb to death, she placed a curse on her that she would be sent to hell. So the demon latched itself to her until the time came for it to claim her soul.
@J Sang the thing is that she could have traded places with someone more deserving, her plan wouldn't have worked even if she had put the correct coin because she was trying to put the curse in a dead body which was useless
@@JamalElHanine constantly starved, attacked by monsters, beating and raping each other, psychological torture like making the narrator highly suspicious of the others, and not allowing them to die for centuries. That’s what I remember at least, don’t really want to read it again
Well, to go even deeper, the narrator in "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream". They were all tortured for over 100 years, but at least four of them found a final death - our poor narrator, however...
Tusk is a truly disturbing peek into what a director will make it left to his own devices. The end result is horrifying and not in a good way. By the way, It's sewn or sewed not sown, that's what's done with wheat.
The Mist (2007), when in the end the guy shoots & kills his family thinking that he's sparing them from a horrible death, only to realize in a few moments that had he waited like just a minute or two more they would've been out of danger.
Thumbnail shows a pic from a scene from one of the worst mind F*** movies ever, DREAD! That movie was so ... dreadful. Glad to see this movie get some exposure.
Aside from actually ending up in hell, the worst one I've seen was only discussed briefly by the characters in Stargate sg1. In the series, a sarcophagus is used to regenerate a person, extending their life as long as they use one. It can also cure disease or injury, even bring someone back to life. The victim was locked inside one with a large number of flesh eating beetles. To be eaten and regenerated continuously for millennia. Every bite regenerating by the time the beetle had finished it. The beetles also, continuously breeding and regenerating.
That also happens to Kevin O'Connors slimy character in The Mummy... without the sarcophagus and the regenerating part though, he was just eaten alive by Scarab beetles.
Not a movie but in the game "corpse party " who ever goes into that cursed dimension and dies gets to relive their moment of death for eternity... Poor souls
In doctor who he did that to the family that kept seeking his immortality. He locked the little girl in every mirror on the earth. And I can’t remember what happened to the other three but I felt bad for the little girl because they all did end up getting immortality. They just had a terrible catch
I have way to much time to think at work. My thoughts the xenomorphs could be viewed as a representation of fear of birth (more so in the directors interpretation maybe?) Ripley was written as neither a man or a women. Same with all the cast. It was one of the first times women were seen as heros in cinema by being badasses in typical male action roles. Women weren't written that way at the time, and it was a new construct. So the idea of one of the first strong women protagonist and a birth fear aspect makes me consider if this should be interpretated as a feminist film. I havent fully thought this out but something I was tossing around in my head at work.
Only if the impregnation is repeatable; which I think happened in a comic with some guy altered by wy corps to keep making new xenomorphs. The King piece, protected but forcibly kept in place and vulnerable.
Whoever decided the order of this did a bad job lmao. You’re telling me that having spiders come out of your mouth is worse than being turned into a walrus? Both suck, but I think we can all agree we would totally prefer the spiders
Was looking for this comment. The spiders honestly didn't sound so bad. I mean obviously it'd be uncomfortable, but over pretty quickly and wouldn't cause permanent damage like the other entries. List was compiled by someone with a spider phobia, maybe?
What about what the Sloth victim went through in Se7en? Yes, it may not be a full 'horror' movie as much as it is a thriller, but one could argue that it nonetheless qualifies due to how much 'nightmare fuel' (as TV Tropes calls it) the movie has!
YES! That movie was so mentally disturbing it stayed with me for months. I had nightmares for 2 years about drug dealer that was starved, cut and sores infected, nails pulled out & then given antibiotics so he wouldn't die over and over again. Whom ever has these ideas in their heads to write the stories are the scariest mf of all!
I read some story where a mother was given the choice of who she was going to let die, Her 3 children or her She chose herself to die thinking her kids would be free Instead she has to sit and slowly die as her children are trapped in an infinite death loop of torture. If that’s not worse than death… I don’t know what it.
Sennen basically a bunch of people got sewn into a, well, centipede. Something that made it hellish is the fact that food had to be digested and passed through each body in order for the individual segments to stay alive.
SPOILER ALERT (in case you haven't seen these and don't want it spoilt.) THE MOVIES MENTIONED ARE -The audition -dread -grave encounters -the skeleton key -in the tall grass -Tusk - The Thing -Absentia - The Dare -Hellraiser EDIT: forgot to add Get Out
@@heidibarker9550 It's sincere ... i randomly clicked on this video, knowing those list videos are usually underwhelming. Your comment confirmed that impression.
Im gonna counter with "Angelheart". How about being tajen to hell because someone stole your soul by tearing out your still beating heart and eating it. All because of SOMEONE ELSE'S failed attempt to cheat the devil.
