A ranking list like this on character deaths in horror franchises who “deserved better” lol. Like when someone you’re really hoping survives unfortunately doesn’t.
I don't know if you will like it but "Fortress" is in a schoolhouse and a cave it was made in 1985 it is a teacher in Australia her and the kids get kidnapped by guys in masks and put in a cave and escape and have to run and fight the kidnappers
I would love to see more horror take place in airports or other public transport places- I feel like that’s definitely an obscure location. And I completely agree with the woods, you can’t beat a horror movie that’s surrounded by trees and forest creatures
Cooties? All of us are Dead (not a movie, but still worth mentioning)? 90% of all King's Game clones? Honestly I find the school setting a bit overpopulated.
I feel like a tier list you could do are ranking kills in a franchise. Like nightmare on elm street has really creative kills so seeing your thoughts on those would be cool.
@@Brandon0844 like some top tier kills for me would be Tina, Debbie (cockroach kill cause of those practical effects), Dan (turned into a zombie motor cycle rider with amazing practical effects even with the cut content), the puppet kill cause oof ouch. Like there are more cause this franchise has sm creativity but some low kills would be Rod just got hung, the people who got stabbed with the glove stuff like that oh and the worst is the video game kill from Freddy’s dead.
@@Brandon0844 Tatums death is also one of my favorites same for Olivia I loved the whole “I’m standing in the closet” sequence then it just is a brutal attack ending with the room being decorated with blood and some intestinal fun💀
Other settings ideas: bars, clubs, & cantinas, like "From Dusk till Dawn" As someone who hates clubbing, being surrounded by drunk people while things are going down... horrible. Also an office setting 👀 like "Mayhem" or "The Belko Experiment", if I had to go up against coworkers... oof. Also the suburbs! Every time I see a movie take place in the suburbs I'm like... girl... your neighbors havnt called the police? They're like 10 feet away from you. Smh.
Would love to see a tier list with the most hated horror characters. Various levels of hatred. Also you could make it a love/hate list with some of the most loved & most hated
As someone with crippling anxiety, so many horror locations are a nightmare for me. Lol the only ones I’d be okay with would be store, mall, haunted house and school. Everything else I’m practically instantly dead or too creeped out to do anything helpful.
Love this! Forgive me if you've already done these (i haven't yet watched all your ranking lists, but i'm making my way through!), but here are a few ideas! 1. your personal favorite horror movie soundtracks 2. favorite background characters who should have been leads 3. favorite characters who didn't deserve to die 4. most satisfying deaths of unlikeable characters 5. ranking characters who made it to the end of a horror movie but should have died instead of someone else 6. ranking more obscure horror movie twists 7. best outside horrors (not centered around being inside a building or house... mostly shot outside) 8. best non-assault-based horrors (i'm so sick of r*pe revenge stories/movies where people are assaulted... ENOUGH ALREADY. we have to live it, stop making us suffer through re-living it as "entertainment"!! pick a different subject, damn!) 9. best non-horror horror movies (like "spencer", or "willy wonka", or "requiem for a dream", etc. not a horror movie, but TOTALLY a horror movie because of what it's actually about). 10. best fast-paced and/or slow-burn horror movies LOVE your videos!
I'm shocked you didn't include a "Car" setting! I Recently watched the movie "Alone" and OOF with my driving anxiety.... my hole was clenched throughout the whole movie! Driving while an accident happens or someone trying to run me off the road 👏 nightmare 👏
The woods, camping and farms are my favourite settings for horror movies, I think isolated locations are so much more horrifying cause it's harder to find help/resources
I think it would be fun to rank the outfit choices of characters in horror movies! Some outrageous choices come to mind like the girl in the opening scene of It Follows 😂
Would love to see a Tier list of your favorite horror actors/actresses. And maybe a tier list of ways people die in horror movies (like stabbing, shot, car crash, drowning, etc)
I’ve been watching your channel(s) for probably a decade at this point (since you were a fashion major and working at the CC) and it’s so awesome to see you flourish the way you have with this channel. I’m a lifelong horror fan as well,and your passion for the genre really comes through in every video.
it's just always gives me so much joy when i see that you uploaded a new tier ranking video. you are truly just my fav horror content creater and after a long day watching your videos is just the best thing ever so thank you
Asylum is similar to hospital.. especially when there's movies where conveniently there's no medical staff around while the victim is looking for help , i actually get annoyed now every time i see a hospital in horror movies. Even in the latest scream movie they pushed the hospital scenes 🙄.
personally, i think ANY Horror setting can be good, whether it's been used many times or not--it all just comes down to the execution and how well they use that setting and really incorporate it into the story. Lovely video per usual Sarah!
@@Cajun_Lady504 I honestly don't know if it is currently on any streaming service. It was on one when I originally watched it, but I liked it so much I added the bluray to my collection. It is an exyremely good movie.
I guess it could fits as a setting but I would love to see more Western Horror, I had a blast watching Bone Tomahawk but unfortunately not a lot of those out there.
The third Child's Play goes from the (military) school, to the carnival. One of the roughest issues with hospitals as a horror locale is that, by necessity, they are disconnected entities (the ER isn't by the ICU isn't by the maternity ward) with dozens if not hundreds of workers and patients, 24 hours a day, so its ridiculous to see hospitals with 3 staff on location. You chose 30 Days of Night for "small town" rather than "isolated winter"... hmm.
My favorite "school" setting movie is The Faculty. Halloween H20 is also set in a private Cali high school. Also, Disturbing Behavior. Cry Wolf, The Skulls, and all of the Urban Legend films are set on a college campus, which I still consider worthy. It's all Academia after all. Funny enough, all of these are either late 90s or early aughts films. Figures.
Did we forego Aliens films for space because that's self explanatory? ;) Pandorum is a good one. Moon, with Sam Rockwell. Impostor, with Gary Sinise. Also, more recently, Swedish film Aniara has impressed a lot of people.
I really like your tier listing vids, thank you! Below are movies I’ve enjoyed that take place in some of the settings where you asked for suggestions. Enjoy! 🍿 School setting: Scream 2 Urban Legend Eerie Detention Jennifer’s Body Flatliners Hospital setting: Ghost Lab Session 9 Infection Grave Encounters Space setting: Life Event Horizon Sunshine Pitch Black
Potentially a video that would need a spoiler alert but I think "Ranking Opening Deaths" would be such a fun tier list. Knowing which movies start with a bang would be awesome
Oh! You mentioned wanting to see more movies set in WWI. Well, there happens to be a real incident that could be the perfect setting for a horror movie. Whether you wanted to add supernatural elements or not, I think it would make an interesting scary (or at least kinda gross) story. It's referred to as "The Attack of the Dead Men", and it's fucking insane. Obviously the men in question weren't actually dead (yet), but again, if you wanted to add a little horror spin on the story...
I was wondering about farmhouses (might count as smalltown) but I feel like there's so many good movies that involved farmhouses. Also I love haunted houses I just watched The Sonata and absolutely loved the house they used for it ❤️
Yes, so many horror movies located in old abandoned mental hospitals/asylums, sometimes in hidden wings or forgotten wards/tunnels/rooms of psychiatric/mental health hospitals. Maybe a fav for some or over used/redundant for others. Is what is happening in the plot related to mental illness or a supernatural event? another overused horror trope.
A tier list I think could be interesting is types of villains/antagonists in horror films. For example killers, monsters, ghosts, demons, stalkers, etc
For me the carnival is the take me there tier because I love rides and roller coasters so in a horror movie I’d literally be just going on a huge roller coaster over and over enjoying life knowing I’ll die 😂
The Void (2016) is one of my favorite horror movies, and it takes place in a hospital. Highly recommend checking that one out, especially if you love Lovecraftian horror.
OMG another Neal Shusterman fan! the Unwind books had such an impact on me when i read them when i was younger. like i still remember the characters’ names.
If you're into (foreign) zombie stuff, the show All of Us are Dead is based in a school. I feel like they use the location pretty well and use multiple locations in and around the school. It's on Netflix and will get a season 2 next year I believe.
I'd love to see your take on some animated horror! Higurashi, Another and Serial Experiments Lain (not really horror but certainly creepy). I've seen a volume of Uzumaki by Junji Ito in one of your videos and it's getting an anime adaptation soon too!
The setting is so pivotal to the atmosphere and the way a scene can disturb you or scare you etc… yet it’s highly underrated in conversation about horror films! A good atmosphere puts me into the movie and scenery can make me feel different things. I love a good horror film like the ring and it’s atmospheric setting it’s so comforting for a horror film lol but overall I look for films that have an interesting atmosphere to disturb. Love this Sarah!
I think we need more woods/nature horror. It is so haunting by itself, it doesnt need much budget, just wise use of photography, direction and location. It can explore many subgenres: horroradventure/mysterious place, folk horror, slasher, psychological, splatter, etc. I want to see more horror movies set on south america biomes without just using the one dimensional plots of "Isolated natives disturbed by foreigners or Mystical native rituals". I want a24 style of movies in settings like Argentina's Patagonia, Cordilheiras dos Andes, Brasil's Sertão. So many ideas
There’s a horror/comedy film that takes place in an elementary school called Cooties. Rainn Wilson is in it! I thought it was a good film. 😊 I think it’s on Tubi!
I think a tier list of spirits, ghosts and demons and such who you would or would not like to possess you would be pretty cool. A general ranking of all the horror books you've read so far would also be interesting. Love your videos by the way 💕
School movies: The Faculty, Disturbing Behavior, Carrie of course, Prom Night, Black Christmas. Right off the top of my head, I'm sure there are a few more set on campuses, sororities, high schools. Love your tier lists!
The Blackcoat's Daughter is a great school horror film! Also that one episode of the first season of True Detective when they're in the school always freaks me out!
Fun idea for a tier list. 100% agree with both the favorites (woods, haunted house, space) and the places you couldn't pay me to go (underground, bottom of the ocean). I differ on the winter and beach, though. I live in Minnesota, which has snow six months out of the year and about 15,000 lakes.
This list is in a conflict between where you'd personally like / dislike to be and what makes good movies. For me that produces opposite type results. I'd hate to got to many settings, but it really works in movies ...
Evil Dead Rise is a horror movie that takes place in an apartment complex, so is Little Miss Violence, and Attack the Block. F is a horror movie that takes place exclusively in a school. Scream 6, Black Swan, and Cloverfield are horror movies that take place in New York City. There are home invasion movies like The Strangers, Kidnapped, and Cherry Tree Lane, The Exorcist is a movie that takes place in a house as well as haunted house movies. There are horror movies that take place in the suburbs like Halloween, Scream, Stepford Wives, and Vivarium. There are horror movies that take place on alien plants like Prometheus. There are horror movies that take place in a time paradox like Primer and Coherence. There are horror movies that take place in another dimension like Hell Raiser. There are horror movies that take place inside the mind like Nightmare on Elm Street and Enter the Void. There are horror movies that take place inside a swimming pool like 12 Feet Deep and Pool. There is a horror movie that takes place on top of tower called Fall. There aren't any movies where the character falls and is dangling from a rope and has to figure out a way out, or one that takes place in a savannah or tundra that I know of. The Ritual and The Blair Witch Project take place in a magical, infinitely repeating forest, but I never seen a movie where you try to leave through the front door but it somehow opens the back door and you can see yourself through it and when you try to walk through, you enter through the back doorway and end up on the other side of the room unable to leave the house because geometry has broken down and so the outside of the house just doesn't exist anymore, and I haven't seen a movie where it takes place in a grassy field and as they walk further on, nothing in front appears until the behind them disappears over the horizon, and when they try to turn back, it just carries on forever and they somehow ended up in an infinite plane and there is a shadowy creature on the horizon and day-by-day it seems to get closer and closer to them as they run out of food and water. In Adrift they are trapped on the surface of the ocean and must survive. I imagine it would be incredibly difficult to make a horror movie where they are trapped in a car that doesn't work unless if there's a hoard of zombies, a tiger, or a monster outside and I don't know how you would make that interesting, and it would be even harder to make a horror movie that takes place in a park, a cathedral, a back garden, in a tree, you couldn't do it probably. Buried takes place in a coffin and involves him trying to figure out a way out before he runs out of oxygen, there's a similar movie where they wake up in a stasis chamber onboard a spaceship before they are meant to and everybody else is still in deep sleep but the door didn't open and they haven't got enough room to swing their arm far enough to gain enough momentum to break the glass and they have to escape before they die of dehydration and infected bed sores.
It would be so cool to see a horror movie that takes place in a hospital where there’s actually an accurate number of people around, and most of the horror comes from the killer being able to hide the bodies so well
The Void is a cosmic horror film that takes place entirely in a hospital. Cooties is a horror comedy that takes place entirely in a school. It Follows & Jennifer's Body have some scenes in a school.
I haven’t seen it in a while but Cry Wolf I believe takes place exclusively on a campus. It’s one of my favorite “takes place in a school’ scary movies
finally some recognition for sunshine! my absolute fave movie i could rant for years about it LOL. if u want something similar, theres one called aniara (?) that has a lot of the same horrifying beauty. its less overt horror but its still extremely sensory and i totally loved it!
A more recent horror location would be Skype/zoom!! Anything self contained within a computer. Host is a great example - one of my favourite movies ever
Love the video - and great categories! As much as I love the idea of a supermarket to hunker down in, the windows! Gads! And gotta say I'm completely and totally in love with your scythe necklace! So awesome! 💗🤘🏾
