Fun fact about the movie "The Mist." The director actually asked King if he could change the ending. In the book, they just drive off into the mist, leaving their fate unknown and open ended. But the director of the Mist had a different idea, which he ran by King first. As you can see: it was approved.
The ending of the mist shows up on so many of these lists! The ending was heartbreaking. I heard that Stephen king was impressed by the ending of the film and that he wished he wrote it himself, which is high praise from him considering he doesn’t always like the film adaptations of his work.
Talk about bleak! He shot the old couple & his son too soon. I would have waited until it was too gross with toilet usage & thirst before doing it. Apparently estimate 3 days before you die of thirst. If he'd waited, the army would have saved them. 🫤
@@normturner4849they were being hunted by giant monsters. They heard the sound of all the tanks approaching and thought they were about to be ripped apart so he gave them a quick death, and sacrificed himself to be the one to die horribly only to realize it was the rescue party. They had to make a quick decision and it was tragic
If that’s true (no citation so could just be made up) that director must have been over the moon to have pitched an idea to who many people consider THE GREATEST horror writer of all time to change the story he wrote, and been told “Yeah, I like that, do it!” Dude could have retired happily at that point, I’m sure. Brilliant minds like King’s are not easily impressed.
How did you manage to not include the movie "Tusk" at all? Being drugged, kidnapped and physically altered into a walrus and spending the rest of your life at the zoo as an animal, while your girlfriend and you best friend date each other and look at you pitifully?
Don't forget Carlson's fate in Ticks, where he gets infested with the head of one of the roided ticks which ends up regrowing its head inside him, all while he's suffering from some of the worst hallucinations imaginable. It all culminates in him eventually taking steroids himself because of the hallucination, which results in the regrowing tick inside him to grow at an even more rapid pace before it eventually shreds his body to pieces, becoming an absolute behemoth of a pest.... all while he was still alive.
The girl from Terrifier! Not only is she forced to live a life of deformity, but is somehow sickeningly enamored with Art and seemingly has his baby? Wtf?
And the other girl in terrifier 2 (even though it wasn’t for long) who got her eye gouged, scalped, back skinned, legs destroyed then had bleach and salt poured on her. She did die but she’s not only alive but conscious enough to call out for her mother when she comes home who also gets killed. I think both terrifier and terrifier 2 came out after these lists though.
The thing about the original Blair Witch is that you never see any definitive proof that there is a witch. Everything supposedly done by the witch could easily have been done by the two men. Which leads to a startling realization that perhaps there never was a Blair Witch. Only two psychotic guys luring a girl into the woods.
@@user-lb9xw4xf2q Every Blair Witch movie after the original is a what-if. As in what if the Blair Witch mentioned in the first movie was real. I think even if there was a real Blair Witch, she was not in the first movie. The two dudes just used her as an excuse to get that girl into the woods.
@@togahimiko8083 MattPatt theories are ass and are typically stolen and they never give credit where credit is due. MattPatt will act like he doesn't even have a team of researchers smh
the guy killing his son because he thought it was a better death than being killed by the monsters only to be rescued moments later... it haunts me. truly awful
Apparently that twist is movie only and the book ends with him stepping out of the car, but King said that he really liked the movie twist. I think I prefer it too. It's so dark and cruel.
The lady from Final Destination who put herself in a mental institution obviously thought that it was NOT a fate worse than death, otherwise she wouldn't have put herself in an asylum. I'm surprised you didn't include the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Having to keep yourself awake so the dream boogieman doesn't kill you would absolutely suck.
It depends if she's never been to a psych ward before she might not know how bad it is until she's in there and by that point they might not let her back out.
I thought that the end to “It Follows” was meant to be ambiguous- especially since the person behind them is not wearing the weird burlap sack outfit that the demon wore during the movie
That films a great sleeper hit. Lucked out got it in a boxed set of horror. The beginning was Meh until the naked woman entered the building then the giant behind her parents in hallway. Yeah great film want sequels! The end was literally it's only time until it get back to you..
I always thought the ending of It Follows was left intentionally ambiguous. We see the person walking behind them, but it isn't made clear whether it's the demon or not. Also, the demon's tactics has this kind of big loophole since it's established that the demon just moves directly towards wherever you are at a constant speed which can be measured, meaning that you could simply hop on a plane every once in a while and leave it constantly crossing oceans for months while you travel the world or have sex with one of the first astronauts traveling to Mars lol. Let's see, 40 million miles traveling at about 10 miles per hour equals...we'll never see the demon again.
dont even need an astronaut pass it on to someone whos terminally ill, and has maybe day or maybe a few hours to live, you lose the demon, they die, the demon no longer haunts anyone
Not even 10 mph. The average walking speed is 3 mph for an adult and this demon seems to be even slower. You could hop on a plane, travel 5000 miles and you'd have more than 2 months before it would catch up to you.
@@Cromulant I bet this demon is made fun of by other demons. "Oh look, there goes STD guys, off to **eventually** kill some human. Hope they don't live near an airport, STD!"
Or, if the thing just walks. You could literally just hop on a boat and live on the ocean while it's stuck at the bottom of the ocean trying to get to you. Have a friend get another boat and deliver you supplies, probably just water. Spend the time at the ocean to learn fishing to get you a constant supply of food.
Every horror movie where someone is sexually violated disturbs me to no end, the first one for me was 'Don't Breathe' and I will never not be completely disgusted and terrified by that plot twist...
@@rogermaddox6134 Even though it's more drama than anything else (we somehow found it listed under horror on some free movie streaming site) The Seasoning House is pretty damn disturbing.
the '72 version of that terrible 2000 pg-13 remake?? rz's halloween was terrible and lookin at it from a critic's point, part 2 was terrible also but it still slapped! it was so gruesome and realistic and did an amazing job to portray the ptsd of suriving part 1 that it just actually worked.@@rogermaddox6134
Chucky has to transfer his soul into the first person that he tells his secret to. Since he's a doll, the most obvious option is a child (partly due to access and partly due to their ability to believe that it's true). I'm sure he would have preferred an adult...
I dunno, living your life as a kid again with a mom who loves you and will cook for you and pay for you and around 13 years to come up with an awesome life plan with the hindsight of an adult? Sounds pretty good to me.
Only halfway through the video so no clue if it's already mentioned yet but I always remember the worst fate I ever saw in a horror film was I think Wolf Creek where he basically paralyzes this woman and is going to use her at his leisure if you catch my drift. That would be terrifying, being constantly trapped in your own body, unable to warn anyone and painfully aware of everything a person is doing to you. Also, for Creep 2, I feel like it's a bit of a reach to say she fell for Aaron. I've seen the movie quite a few times, it's one I quite like, and I don't think it's necessarily love she feels but just pure morbid curiosity. It feels less like predator vs prey and more like predator vs predator during later parts of the movie. There are times where she actually outwits him and times when he outwits her - they're actually a pretty perfect match in that way. However, I wouldn't say she falls in love with him, that doesn't feel accurate - I think she is intrigued by him, even when she KNOWS he's telling the truth about being a murderer. I really love Creep and Creep 2 regardless though, I love the way they explore the psychology of a serial killer. He's not necessarily some bizarrely omniscient presence that just appears like other horror villains, nor is he completely deranged- he's somewhere in between and that's what makes him so dangerous. He's the perfect example of a psychopath.
Oh yea, remember Wolf Creek 2? We see a woman in the tunnels who has been chained up for god knows how long. Also the survivors themselves can be considered to have 'a fate worse than death' (Paul in the second film and Ben in the first), where they are stuck in Australia due to the loss of their passports, and they are not believed by the local police at all, leaving Mick uncaught.
Bone Tomahawk for a similar reason but even worse. As they're leaving the cave at the end of the film they pass by two women who have been completely amputated and used as breeding stock.
@@mickflick8133 I've not seen Bone Tomahawk but I badly wanna see it, I've heard it's both absolutely batshit insane and also mega gory which sounds like a great mix for horror. The prospect of being kept like an animal used for breeding and having no means of stopping it is absolutely terrifying to me. Makes me wonder if any of these kinds of films were inspired by the US slave trade as I remember reading that they used to keep black women as animals and used them for 'breeding'. They would even pair so-called "good breeders" to make stronger kids that would sell for a higher price. I also remember reading somewhere that black people's skin was used as lampshades and handbags. I swear sometimes reality is scarier than any fiction, it freaks me out.
@@theinvertebratequeen HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The thing I'm talking about is only on-screen for maybe 15 seconds and not delved into but the implications are absolutely horrific. You're absolutely correct about reality being worse, even considering the slave trade in the US was arguably more "ethical" than a lot of other places and it was still BEYOND hell. Also an important point is that Bone Tomahawk is mostly a really really gritty slow-burn Western and it's excellent as a Western.
The dude in scream 6 being in here is wild. Surviving being stabbed a bunch while still having use of all your limbs and no brain trauma is not a fate worse than death they were really scraping the barrel with this one.
Run shouldn't have been here either. The protagonist ends up with potentially permanent disabilities, but calling that a fate worse than death is pretty fucking offensive.
@@BlackAntic to some people it is though like for someone who's passion or passion and work is an active activity like an Olympian, runner, gymnast, ballet dancer, someone who's life revolved around using all their limbs. This probably IS worse than death to them.
maybe not brain trauma, but emotional trauma tends to be SO much worse. You're forever trapped with those memories while trying to live the rest of your life not in constant fear
All those poor cultists in “The Endless” who were trapped in the Lake Gods time bubbles, especially the guy who is trapped in the 3 SECOND time loop. Doomed to wake up, dive from his chair upon a pistol, and off himself before the end of the loop comes, for fear of the unknown demise that would be provided by the Lake God. Awaken, panic, die.
regarding number 7, i feel that is nothing compared to some of the fates Chucky bestowed upon his victims, Alice and Nica Pierce in particular, even more so with Nica, possessed by Chucky, Alice died when a victim fought back and Chucky returned to a doll, Nica had her limbs amputated by Tiffany
also, by the end of the 5th movie, Chucky decided that he actually LIKED being a doll and didn't want to transfer his soul into a human body. The main reason why he decided to transfer into Nica was bc he'd been obsessed with her and her mom
Yeah, I really don't get it. Chucky WANTED to become a doll to escape the cops. How is that a fate worse than death? The dude wants to be immortal and he is.
Chucky had to take Andy's body. He was told the first person he showed himself to, andy, was the one he could take over. Do your research people if you're going to do these lists
I see people keep saying this and I never realized that. Why is it that he tries to transfer himself into other people as well? In my research I realized with the amulet he could transfer his soul differently. Interesting I never realized the reason he was chasing Andy so Hard in the first 2-3 movies was because he had to transfer to Andy. either way I agree they should do their research becaus they say things that are UNTRUE. They said the it follows ending was definitely a demon but the ending was left ambiguous.
Honourable mention to the human centipede Lindsay is trapped between two dead people in the centipede and has no hope of escape She cant move because shes the middle person and the two cops that could have saved her are dead annd so is heiter the sick creator of the centipede so she has no hope of even being removed even if it meant just being killed after Now yes presumably someone would obviously go looking for the two cops but any amount of time being left in Lindsay's position would definitely have you wishing you were dead Hell we probably just add anyone put in a human centipede in the first place to a fate worse than death because god damn
See, I think the third movie has it the worst. Death row inmates were not only connected but also all their limbs hacked off to lay around for the rest of their life
Good list, but there should have been more Hellraiser entries. The remake/reboot was pretty disturbing, with several innocent people not only killed, but dragged into hell for eternity. And even though he was the villain, Voight being transformed into a cenobite was a pretty horrible fate. Obviously there are plenty of other Hellraiser movie victims that could go on the list, too.
With Hellraiser seems like the transformation into a cenobite is a rather mixed "demons to some, angel to others" situation. Like with Dr. Channard who not only was intrigued by the mysteries of the Lament Configuration box, but upon actual transformation fully embraced it and quoted the line: "And to think... I hesitated". And Elliot Spencer himself seemed to be affected by pain only at first and then seemed fine. But I have to agree with being dragged to hell for eternity seemed like a not very pleasant experience - and in this list Frank's resurrection is mentioned as the fate worse than death, but Frank seemed more than OK with the return and transformation period - which seems like the time spent in hell was probably the "fate worse than death".
Nuh uh, them starting with "come to daddy, come to Uncle Frank" impressed me & deserved an insta-👍 Especially considering they mostly focused on more modern horror with an emphasis on found footage.
Was it? From what I know, becoming a cenobite is a form of spiritual ascension, into a higher level of eternal bliss. It sounds like heaven, putting the gore aside
The movie the mist has a message a lot of people missed from the start… remember the old crazy lady wanting to sacrifice the kid saying his death would end the invasion. That is why at the end of the movie when the father kills his son the most suddenly clears. The kid was suppose to die all along. It was explained in a lot better detail then what I said
Clear was never going to die in the first FD movie, whe died exactly when she was supposed to in the second movie. Because if death was really gunning for her to tie that loose end, she wouldve been in danger before she made it out of the psych hospital. She very well could have survived the crash, but because alex was AHEAD of her on the plane, he died before knowing clears ACTUAL fate. Just like later on in the second movie when we do see that someone was never going to die in the premonition. But if clear was really next like rapidly, she wouldve died before the hospital.
The Mist always gets me, it's such a simple and precise set up that kicks you right in the clusters as you know you probably would've done the same were you in those circumstances or similar.
The dyatlov pass incident movie just puts a bad taste in my mouth. Trivializing and sensationalizing the real deaths of these people. Idk if it’s worse that it doesn’t focus on the actual event it’s referencing or if it would have made some schlocky supernatural movie disrespecting their real life deaths
Mirrors slander really hurt🥺🥺🥺 I’ve watched horror movies my whole life and Mirrors is actually one of my favorite ones… And also, James Cameron beat his own record of highest box office sales with Avatar so idk why it’s being slighted with District 9- which is not a horror movie to begin with.
Candyman 2021 didn't "fix issues" with the original IT was simply much louder about the issues to the point its kinda eye rolling at times. The orignal managed to subtle portray the issues felt by the residents of Cabrini-Green in a very show dont tell fashion simply through the comparisons that to them Candyman was very real and to everyone else living outside (The White characters) where skeptics to the point of mocking the idea.
He wasn’t concerned about his brother being missing because he didn’t know. That wasn’t Frank’s house, it was his. Frank just crashed there since it was unoccupied at the time.
For me it's that scene in the film 'The Endless' where one of the central characters comes across the man from the early 1900s in a tent who is stuck in an endless time loop, each cycle only lasting a few seconds before abruptly ending with his violent death over and over. A gramophone in the tent replays the same few seconds of a song again and again to add to the endless repeating torture and it is clear that the person has been trapped this way for about a century.
Gonjiam Haunted Asylum's one that deserves a place in the lost movie area. Everyone being terrorized and messed with, possessed and locked in the rooms where the patients were normally locked in, the video producer having his life stream messed with so it seemed as if it was all fake, only for him to be dragged into the darkness while listening to his friends chanting demonic shit within the rooms they're locked in.
So knock at the cabin is based off a book called The Cabin at the End of the World, but the endings are apparently different, and I'd argue that the book's ending is worse. Spoiler alert but: in the book Wen is accidently killed during a struggle over a gun but Eric and Andrew are told that unfortunately her death doesn't count because she wasn't a willing sacrifice. Still some of the horsemen feel guilty and despite still believing the apocalypse is imminent allow Eric and Andrew to escape. Iirc (I read this book like five years ago) it's left pretty ambiguous about whether or not the world is actually going to end or if it was all just a fucked up hate crime.
I remember "The Mist" having two endings because the general public hated the original one where he killed them so they changed the ending to one where they get saved moments before
There are more stories. Each realm they visit is an ending for a different character. As for sindri, I see another dlc or side mission where Atreus goes out to retrieve Brok's soul so he can be at peace
There was a lot of Witch Coven Hype, Demons/ Possession or Spirit Manifestation in the 70's. The Exorcist did mess people up. I veered from it as a teen. I was more of an OMEN kind of girl. My all time Fav to watch is The Legend of Hell House ( 1973) . To me it is a Saturday afternoon classic.
I want to watch Mirrors just to see Cameron Boyce in his first acting role at 9. God I miss that kid. It’s been 4 years but it feels like it was just yesterday that when I woke up in the afternoon the very first thing I see is a text from my dad with a news article about Boyce’s death.💔😭
ah so does all hallows eve actually contain "the 9th circle"? this is a much earlier, short film with the same character "Art the Clown". He is also in the much later movies called "Terroriser"
In the movie Mirrors.... I first saw on sky movies alone at a house in farm land alone as my parents out and older sister... Actually i think she was home but didnt wanna watch with me. I was 13 and she was about 19. When his sister jaw gets ripped off and she cant do nothing absolutely terrified me.. took me months to feel safe by mirror. To this day i still double look sometime of then light off and see my reflection in a mirror etc.. im 26 now..
22:40 Truly alone in the most inhospitable of environments and already sealed inside your own tomb. Only one rapidly dwindling resource tethering you to life and all salvation hopelessly out of reach though you'll die within sight of it. Can you imagine how forlorn you would be at the inevitability of it and how existentially dreadful dying so far from the rest of humanity must feel? That death is genuinely horrifying.
2:57 1981? Without food, our body suffers from the fourth and fifth day.

The It Follows monster always bugged me. Do what they did at the pool only call the cops first, show them the thing. It will be stopped and given over to study.
22:05 Calvin was not a predator. The truth being told he was a peaceful life form he attacked after they zapped him as an animal would his thought process was this is a threat I need to kill it or it’s gonna kill me before that he’s peaceful, and willing to just live, in fact, he might even have a parental bond with the scientist that he was just born there but for some reason they think that a scientific test they need to zap him with electricity and as I said he’s an animal, so he this makes him think that that’s a threat it’s going to kill me unless I kill it
In the movie it was theorized that it annihilated all other life on Mars. Not very benign. Reminds of my female boss who sympathized with the creature in Alien because the mean astronauts kidnapped him from his home world. (Says something about my boss).
@@geraldmartin7703 it’s theorized, but not proven it’s more than likely he’s just an animal, and he’s not gonna do anything until they zap him with electricity to see what would happen, and he takes that as a threat to his life, and at that point, the natural instinct of kill or be killed activates

chucky doesnt hate his body. The rules of the curse is he can only steal the body of the person he 1st revealed himself to. First Andy, then tyler the black kid shown in the clip
The "Probability Demon" of Final Destination should come up against something that can forcibly (and, for it, painfully) manifest it in corporeal form, then torture it.
It Follows isn't about an "STD demon". It's an allegory about the effects of SA and victim blaming and the emotional turmoil young people often experience when their first sexual experiences don't live up to the hype.
The girl in one of the Wrong Turn movies who was blinded and then abducted by the killers to "enjoy" at their leisure is one of the most horrifying fates I can imagine. Yes she would have died, but not soon enough.
the "fvck bags" from that one rob zombie film, is similar. This could be seen as arguably worse they, as they are kept alive for extended periods of time. I believe the one in the movie has been there for at least a year.
This is a direct quote from the first Child's Play movie regarding why Chucky needed to transfer his soul into Andy. "You have to transfer your soul out of the doll, into the first human being you revealed your true self to." ―John Bishop AKA Dr. Death to Chucky.
In the end, he does figure out multiple ways to transfer his soul into a human without the restrictions, but he also doesn't care about being a doll anymore. In fact, he loves it because it makes him such a unique killer.
