The Mist ending was one of the most painfully f**ked up endings ive ever experienced

You've got to feel sorry for poor Rosemary. She had the misfortune of living next door to Satanists, and forced to bear Satan's spawn, all so that her husband could have a part in a play. This movie made me terrified of ever giving birth.

SAW will always stick with me as one of the most unexpected WTF moments to end a horror movie!! When Jigsaw gets up, it STILL gives me the chills

20. Enemy 19. Paranormal Activity 18. Audition 17. Insidious 16. Invasion of the Body Snatchers 15. Suspiria 14. The Descent 13. The Wicker Man 12. The Blair Witch Project 11. The Witch 10. The Babadook 9. Rosemary's Baby 8. April Fool's Day 7. Sleepaway Camp 6. Don't Look Now 5. Mother! 4. The Shining 3. The Cabin in the Woods 2. The Mist 1. Hereditary

I mean, The Mist is one of those endings that just make your stomach sink into oblivion.

Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nemoy, Donald Sutherland, all in one film. How can you not like Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

"Don't Look Now" always creeped me out, especially that unexpected ending. It still takes me aback, even though I know what's coming.

I would add a vote for The Others. Even as dread builds while you watch, I did not see the end coming. Also, thank you to all the commenters who suggested movies without revealing the twist. Well done!

The whole movie "Mother" is one big WTF, to be honest!

the ending of The Mist was heart breaking.

C’mon! The ending of Halloween III should have made the list! It’s just as disturbing now as it was back in 1983. I totally did not see it coming

A24 is known for having WTF endings, So I’m not surprised that 4 of their movies are on this list.

No Saw? That WTF ending will stay with me forever!

The bleak, descent ending is only in the British version. The US version has her escaping the cave, and, leaving in her car with the jump, scare only being a symptom of her break down, but she got out of the cave.

Thanks for the List and Video 😀

I always thought the ending to Descent was a symbolic one. Like psychologically trapped in the cave forever

I still hold that Cabin in The Woods is the prequel to This is the End.

The ending of 'Haute Tension or High Tension' was notorious for its WTF ending.

The most WTF ending for me has been the one in Excision from 2012 with Ariel Winter, Malcolm McDowell, John Waters and a few more actors I’ve seen in many. Like seriously when me and my friend watched it for the first time we were so shocked no sound came out and we had to Fing hug it out.

Thought *Sinister* would be on this list. [SPOILER!] I’m still pleasantly surprised that the studio let the director get away with *such* a bleak finale (“I’ll make you famous again…”)

63: Now I know why Tara from 2022’s Scream says that line “I prefer The Babadook”

The bride in black scared me shitless as a grown man in 2010 in the theater! Such a great horror scare.

The just kidding ending of Descent is only the original ending. Screening audiences thought it was too depressing, so they changed it to the jump scare being the ending. They made a sequel too so she did live.

Smile had a WTF ending as well.

Paranormal activity makes sense now that all the movies are done. They are all connected. Believe it or not 1 and 2 take place simultaneously. 3 takes place when Katie and Christy are kids and explains the backstory, and 4 takes place a few years after where 2 left off. The Marked Ones is a spin off but crosses over into 1 and at the end, you see what/who makes Katie scream downstairs, how Mica dies, and who is recording.

Top 10 Bad Movies With Great Endings.

Ah, The Mist. To think the greatest despair was hope itself.

You nailed the Mist but where's S7ven? That movie gave me a depression.

The shocking ending of ‘Sleepaway Camp.’ The 14-year-old Angela Baker (played by the then 13-year-old Felissa Rose) revealed as the serial killer and also she’s a male. The parody version of the creator/writer/director Robert Hiltzik: “Oh my God! Somebody remember this move, and wrote a comedy sketch about it!” 40 YEARS OF SLEEPYAWAY CAMP.

Midsommar did this for me.

Excellent list! I would also include Final Destination 5 & Midsommar

Great list good job some ending are great and some make no sense😊

2022's The Offering gives us a horrible ending, then a relief that it was all a dream and then a literal misstep brings it crashing down. It's not just WTF, it's just mean!

The ending of the mist still mess' with me

Couldn't believe High Tension wasn't here.

I would include The Borderlands a.k.a Final Prayer. That film had one of the biggest WTF endings. It will stick with you probably forever..

The ending of 'The Mist' totally broke me!.... I am SO glad you included 'Audition' on your list; that film is totally over-looked by so many! And the movie ending that left me totally confused (so bad it almost made me mad) while it wasn't really a 'Horror' film was 'Jacob's Ladder' - that whole movie is so all over the place, you have to watch it at least twice to understand it, but even to this day I still don't totally get it. I saw that in the theater with my boyfriend, and after the end credits started to roll- we literally looked at each other saying "What the f*** did we just see?!"

Reflection of Fear, with Sondra Locke and Robert Shaw, has the “boy raised as girl” storyline in a truly terrifying, effective way. Recommended.

Midsommar should be on here. I feel like all the WTF stuff that happened in that movie happened in like the last 30-20 minutes.

64: If anyone forces me to watch Mother, I’m going to puke

I found the ending of the movie Devil pretty shocking. I didn't even suspect the old lady.

How is Excision not on this list? That ending will leave you speechless for days.......

"Orphan" (2009), "Necromancy" (1972) & "Spellbinder" (1988) should've been included.

Not a horror, but that scene in mulholland drive "The Bum" a scary hobo scene that pops out of nowhere while the actor is describing it as his fear in his dream, god dammit that scene lives in my head rent free, also that same scary hobo is played by none other than the actress who played Valak in The Nun in insidious universe lol

Sleep away camp is so good, I love the shining, hereditary and the mist shook me

5ive Girls had a WTF ending, surprise twist only to dash away the happy ending, & the 1 person to survive isn’t the 1 you expect. Saw should definitely be on the list, especially 7 cos that was almost as woah as 1st/3rd. Never watched enemy, but definitely not with tarantulas in it, would scare me to pieces. Body snatchers 70’s was a great ending, bleak but still get chills from that scream & the eyes. Going to also suggest the nun, with learning Frenchies fate & tying into the conjuring series. Made me mourn French or cos he deserved a happy ending, but we know it doesn’t go well.

For me, "10 Cloverfield Lane" gave me a big WTF moment! The pacing and the "what will happen next" theory was keeping me in suspense throughout the entire film...until the idiotic and head scratching ending. I don't wanna give away the pathetic last scene, but it seemed that the writers ran out of storyline to complete what was becoming a great horror/suspense story. Sad...

Regardless of the movie a WTF ending leaves me asking why,why, why and the realization that this is time I'll never get back.

The Wicker Man was the real true beginning of Burning Man!😂😂😂

not only did the ending of hereditary mess with me, it was just how perfectly crafted Charlie's death was formulated and executed. i remember seeing the film on the premiere weekend and having a whole movie theater audience collectively gasp with jaws dropped for a solid 20minutes was a movie experience I'll never forget. beyond the sublime, beyond haunting. ari aster is a cinematic force to be reckoned with! masterful horror specialist right there!

Love your lists!❤❤❤❤

Borderlands/ Final Prayer where they are crawling through a tunnel and it ends up being the belly of the beast and they are slowly digested with acid 😮

So nice to hear Rebecca's voice ... haven't heard it for a long time ... she will always be my fav

Sleepaway Camp ending messed me up a lot !! Lol

The ending to the film The Mist is hilarious. One of the funniest damn things ever put on film. I laugh so hard every time I watch it.

Spoorloose ending was really terrifing as well and probably the Circle was shocking after everything that happened in that room

Good list, hey, i think Drag Me To Hell should be in it

In the Enemy movie, if I was him, I see a giant spider. I'll run like hell.

Dead Silence and haunted those endings caught me off-guard

The only movie endings that got head scratching were the movies “the Antichrist” and “The house that jack built”

For me, the ending of Cry Wolf 2005 was a major WTF moment for me

324: I’m gonna be honest. I watched Paranormal Activity during the day, to be least scared

Worst thing about Bodysnatchers is that it’s left ambiguous the guy is faking his behavior

326: (Snicker) Lipstick Face-Demon. I can’t stop laughing from that name. I can’t take it seriously

325: I don’t know why you don’t have Jeepers Creepers on this list. That ending scared the fwack out of me as a teenager

62: Off topic but I just saw the trailer of Five Nights At Freddy’s. Comes out on October 27, this year. Have fun

I feel like WTF endings and horror movies go hand in hand sometimes

paranormal activity broke me 😀!

Thanks for explaining Hereditary and its ending. I never got it.

Honestly the most wtf part of the Sleepaway Camp ending for me was that face and sound he makes over anything else. Like what the hell was that about? 😅

Don't Look Now must be on here. Holy hell.....I did NOT see that one coming.

A WTF ending for me was with the movie Dead Silence 😬 still gives me the creeps when I see the movie lol

Don’t Look Now was my immediate thought on seeing the title.

Rosemary's Baby is just headache inducing. The constant screeching by Rosemary and the over acting just got really old, really quickly.

Should've added the ending of Brightburn to this list.

How did The Devil Inside miss the cut? You cant get more WTF then ending a movie by telling viewers to visit a website.

" That's a shame "...The Mist

60: If I guess The Devil Inside is number one with the ending. Not it? DANG IT!

11:19 I just wanted to see rosemary’s baby 😂

I know that I'm probably wrong, but when it comes to The Shining, I like to think that the explanation is like a mixture between Hereditary and Sinister. In the sequel, Doctor Sleep, there are these vampire-like creatures that kill children to consume the shine from them, and the taste is heightened by the fear of the children. I feel that somehow, the hotel was like one of these vampiric creatures, but since it's a building, it can't really kill anybody. So, whenever it gets the chance, it finds the person with the least sanity/humanity (like in Hereditary) and manipulates them to kill their family, including their children with the shine. And every time the house claims a new person to use, it changes its backstory so that it won't be abandoned. That's why the ghost of 'the previous owner' told Jack that he was always the owner and why there was a photo of Jack back in 1921. 'The Old Owner' was probably told the same thing with a different previous owner, and now the next time that someone goes to watch over the hotel, they'll be told that Jack was the one who killed his family back in 1921. That might be why (I think I'm remembering correctly) when Danny came back to the hotel in Doctor Sleep, his father was the bartender this time.

No.2 was all like - "We Gotta tawk about it !! : But Yo ?? What all dat steady screamin' gon' do ?? DAT'S DE FUDGING ARMY !! Tell dem soldiers Yu just bussed all yo peeps so they might go save sum !! Right👂🏿

Good list but I would put The Mist at #1 because the WTF is in full force there. Also, I would give "The Thing" a nod since we are left with a very ambiguous at best ending on if Mac or Childs are infected

I hate to bust your bubble I don't count found-footage movies like Paranormal Activity as horror movies

notable mentions: High Tension, Midsommar, As Above So Below

Surprised ‘Saw’ wasn’t on the list!

#20,his indifference or lack of emotion is the plot Twist

There are so many endings, Evil Dead with the evil attacking Ash, Sinister, the children are the killers, Halloween III Season of the Witch how many children died from that.

No mention of the wild twist ending of the original Friday the 13th? Wow.

Suspiria is the only remake I've ever liked. I liked the original, too. The look is very different, which almost justifies the remake.

I'm sorry, but the dance scene in the newer Superia is fantastically terrifying

I saw The Others in the cinema, and I kid you not, when we found out what happened to the mom and kids, the entire audience gasped.

Halloween 4 ending will always be the scsriest to me. I rember the sheer terror watching it when inwas younger & then not being able to sleep. Everytime I would think of the scene id get super scared.

Audition doesn't become a horror movie until the final act? That's ridiculous.

What about the original Saw ending?? That still gives me chills

How could you miss the ending of Saw? Jigsaw got up and started walking after pretending to be a corpse for the entire film.

"Muffy", lol😂

You couldn’t pay me to watch Audition.

I'm shocked the ending for Midsommar wasn't even an honorable mention tbh!

Audition also had that it-never-happened ending
