Don't ask me how I know this, but I can certainly say that the hook isn't likely to be taken seriously until you get someone with it and suddenly they understand what it's like to be a caught fish. The knife just immediately turns on a person's fight or flight mode, while the axe and machete send a very clear message that all possible pretense has been dropped and that you're taking your life in your hands by not getting the fuck outta there on the double.

@taqresu5865 11 месяцев назад

As someone with a cat that naturally has 18 sharp hooks, I can confirm this. Though I will point out that the setting matters too. Take a look at The Shining, being trapped in an isolated location (especially in a supernatural setting like the hotel) with someone targeting you with an ax, and with no means to receive any aid is a terrifying prospect. There's a reason the "Here's Johnny!" scene is as iconic as it is.

One factor not really into account here was concealability. Now, most "traditional" horror killers aren't particularly subtle, but in terms of psycho-serial killer motive, where the goal is maximum deaths over time, a knife or hook is easier to get into places it shouldn't be. The surprise factor of just whipping out a kitchen knife or a hook and just disemboweling someone is chilling, to say the least. Who hasn't heard of stories of so-and-so who got stabbed 20 times in the chest in the span of a minute, and bled to death gruesomely. Absolutely awful.

Depends on the context. It a lot of "traditional" slasher horror films, the isolated setting *is* part of the horror. The Shining is an excellent example here. Having no one and no where to run to. So depending on the story, being inconspicuous serves no purpose and being overtly monstrous becomes more effective.

@BirgitWallmuller 11 месяцев назад

I think you missed one important test - against the environment (for example doors). In many horror movies the protagonists/victims try to get away and lock doors , inside a car or the like. So something like the axe adds a "can't get away' factor.

@LashknifeTalon 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, this; and if you're a hero, you might need to escape the zombie horde or whatever, and you can use the axe to do it. Along with all the factors brought up in the video, I think the axe is the clear winner in both a "used by a hero against zombies/monsters" and a "used by a slasher to hunt teenagers" context.

@NotaHandlePushOnly 11 месяцев назад

Yup! That and try swinging an axe or a machete with wide swings indoors or a thick forest, you're probably going to hook on everything. Environment would totally be a factor. Machete might actually be even better in a forest chase scene as it could be used to clear debris in their paths, but a hindrance in say, a densely packed pine tree area near walls and fences in a park.

there is a reason its called a butchers hook.... its usually used to move/hang carcasses in a butchery. nowadays it might be less present in the minds of younger people that have never seen meet anywhere except in a supermarket freezer, but the image of hanging on that hook squealing in pain like a pig as you struggle to get away and the thought of hanging on such a hook, alive but unable to free yourself waiting to be butchered like an animal have something horrifying that a quick death from a blade just do not bring to the table

@seanmckelvey6618 8 месяцев назад

They were all having way too much fun with the hook. The other three weapons are of course going to cause a lot of damage, but they were having some sadistic fascination with that hook. They might want to try a hook hand wielding an axe in the other hand.

@demoulius1529 11 месяцев назад

Something ive always wondered if it would make an effective weapon or not is a gauntlet with 'claws' on each finger. Or heck even just 'pointy' tips on an armoured gauntlet. Would it cause any damage or not? If anything it would look intimidating but im wondering if its practical.

@kestrelraptorial689 11 месяцев назад

@@demoulius1529 I have wondered the same thing too. I always wanted a gauntlet with raptorial claws on the digits that resembled a bird of prey's "talons", even though it's for the hand. In battle, I think it would add little to the sword or other elongated weapon one is wielding, but if one was otherwise unarmed, it would be a great thing to have.

@schizoidboy 11 месяцев назад

Something to consider here is that in many slasher films the killers have a tendency to improvise. Michael Meyers in Halloween II often improvised with other items as weapons. He was in a hospital and he dispatched people with a syringe, scalpel, cord for strangling, a hot tub, a blood transfusion needle and tube, and a kitchen knife stolen from an old woman's kitchen. Jason wasn't restricted to machetes (his signature weapon), he could use a spear improvised from a gate, garden tools, and spear guns to name a few.

If the Shadiversity team ever gets access to a Discovery Channel level budget, I'd love to see them try these weapons again on realistic gel dummy human analogues, as well as a chainsaw (Leatherface), a Buck 120 bowie knife (Ghostface), and a barber's razor (Sweeney Todd). I think the 3 main categories that should be judged are Lethality (can this weapon quickly dispatch a victim right before he/she escapes), Fear Factor (how gory/pain-inducing this weapon can be when used to maim trapped or fleeing victims), and Practicality (how manageable is it to wield or stow this weapon while chasing down a victim or sneaking through a building/forest to catch the victim unawares)

@richardashendale922 11 месяцев назад

Skallagrim made a similar video a while back. Two of them in a row actually. The way you are using the hook makes a big difference. Skall points out that if you use a hook with a horizontal grip like usual, you run into the issue of the hook digging in between your fingers, limiting how much power can be put into your strikes. My favorite for a spooky weapon would be a sickle.

In horror movies the whole point of the weapon is to cause psychological horror rather than specifically the how damaging the weapon is. Hench, probably the most horrifying is actually the hook.... The fact it can tear into the flesh and cause a wound that will cause the person to bleed out would be the more terrorising, especially if grabbed from behind and dragged..

@jiminyrabbitson6075 11 месяцев назад

I'd like you to revisit the axe as a weapon by using the blunt side of it. In the spirit of Halloween, one of the scariest serial murders that took place in america was done by an axe wielder, but he used the blunt side. The man said that he did this because otherwise the axe would be more likely to get stuck in what he was swinging at. So I think in terms of deadly/horror, I'd go axe if you included this. Otherwise, machete is likely the most versatile and deadliest.

There is one more weapon to consider as well and plays a BIG part. The Killer themselves. Another interesting one is where the Killer doesn't use any specific weapon at all. A Killer who not only improvises, but is seasoned is the deadliest, only because they are able to make thought out decisions and have that built up through trial and error the more effective and efficient ways and use of implements to make their kills. Those would be the ones to watch out for, as their flexibility and confidence in not just their skill, but their confidence they can use anything to make a kill with high proficiency.

It is used in the Commercial Fishing Industry and by everyday Anglers, and also has a variant that was made specifically for this Industry. A large hook is attached to a long stick or pole. Called a Pole Hook, Fishing Gaffer, or Billhook, it is used to bring a fish up on to the Boat Deck.

The important thing about *any* improvised weapon, is if you can use it effectively, without needing to modify it. Baseball bats (and their kin), axes, machetes, and other such things that you can just grab, and swing in either a smashing or chopping motion, tend to be really good. Thrusting, in a stabbing motion, might cause an issue or two. On the plus side, plenty are already battle-tested, and proven.

@butwhataboutdragons7768 11 месяцев назад

Yeah it depends on what you're after, as a slasher. Efficient killing in one hit? Machete. Are multiple quick hits okay? Knife. Close quarters, from stealth? Also knife. Are you after prolonged pain, or shock factor? Hook. Are your opponents defending themselves, including armor or just closing doors on you? Axe. There's so much overlapping there too, like if you go for the throat a knife is also entirely capable of one-shotting someone.

Simple, well build kitchen/chefs knive. I have a couple of them, so versatile, sharp and easy to handle in the kitchen. Let alone if a person does have bad intentions with a kitchen knive..... Well scary weapons, easy to cary also.

Speaking from experience, a knife is the scariest thing to come across, especially held to your back. I’ve never felt pins and needles through my whole body like that. You’d see and be able to run away from someone with a larger weapon, but the knife will be on you before you even realize someone’s getting too close. Fortunately for me, it was a skinny, drug-addled man trying to stick me up with a little knife in Boston Common. I was able to walk away from that with just a scratch. Boston isn’t dangerous, I just got particularly unlucky on that occasion.

Always said that in a zombie apocalypse, give me a 10lb sledgehammer. Destroys in every direction.

The axeman of new orleans had a 50% fatality rate on sleeping victims, so yeah. Not the most effective in real life horror. Make a long knife with a hook- Iike pointy end and you are set. Thrust, reach and maximum internal organ damage, all wrapped in a neat package.

Getting appreciation for small blades like knives. I like the hook too.

As someone who is dressing up as Sans, the kitchen knife scared me for a second. 💀

@daywither927 11 месяцев назад

I choose the lumber axe. It's not just that it will brutally smash you into splinters, but it also brings up that very imagery and the wrongness of chopping bodies instead of trees. The hook is my second, but it needs some big burly slasher behind it, otherwise it just won't do enough.

Hook for horror, axe for massacre, and machete for serial killer.

As a horror weapon in a teenagers at some lake movie i think a bow or crossbow would scare me the most even when i do not see or hear the killer. I could be in range plus with the right arrow or bolt head or some poison that could be slow and horrific death with a false sense of hope

@EXC334 10 месяцев назад

Honestly, out of the ones you tested the axe would be terrifying, however I raise to hammer, theres just no stopping big metal weight on stick.

Youse guys should do an entire episode on hooked weapons - techniques, efficiency, and so on. Longshoremen's hooks, hay hooks, grain sickles, gaffhooks...and the worst of all, the WWII device known as the "Serb-cutter". Let's REALLY see Shad go apeshit! 😂

The most brutal horror weapon is surprise after ample tension and a fack out or two.

I bought a small Gransfors Bruk swedish axe and my neighbor made a mishap and she cut herself with it. She had to get major stitches. It was a small one handed axe. Probably weighed under 16oz. I think it was the mini belt hatchet. And definitely convenient to carry on the belt.
