Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
People nowadays make such a big song and dance about the latter like it's showing porn to minors or something and it's really dumb.
Return to Oz is great too. It has some creepy scenes but is not like its Elsagate.

Ironically people pearl clutching about some scary parts in kids media are the same that want to expose kids to sodomy and show then actual porn as sex ed. At some point standards got really inverted on those things in a bad way. I rather they watch Atreyu's horse dying and cry than whatever psy-ops gets passed as wholesome now.

Those types come off as so disingenuous to me. Don't bitch about kids media having some unsettling or controversial moments and then celebrate modern kids cartoons featuring pride parades and characters with SRS top surgery scars. It's such a faggy form of hypocrisy. I think that's the root of why a lot of these "horror" YouTube channels upset me, the insistence on pretending to be good wholesome PC softbois who dindu nuffin really takes away from the tone and enjoyment of listening to gruesome unsolved murder cases and horror stories. I just want to see some horror content on YouTube that doesn't pull its punches and also isn't presented by the most annoyingly gay motherfuckers on the planet.

Out of curiosity, by the way... How many of you used to sneak and watch horror movies you probably shouldn't have as a kid? Just once or twice, even. and what movies were they? Thinking of the kind of shit you can find in TV cartoons (Blue's Clues) and YouTube Kids now makes me think it's probably less harmful for a kid to see the Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th movies... What a sad reality.

I was a little bitch, my mum would watch horror movies all the time when I was a kid so I would cry myself to sleep hearing the screams of pain and terror from the loungeroom.

I distinctly remember watching "What Lies Beneath" at a sleep over party when I was 10. I absolutely would not take a bath after that, only showers.

I was even scared of the X-Files theme song.

I honestly don't think I got the stomach for it until I was about 20, something flipped in me and I suddenly didn't give a damn anymore.

Guilty as charged. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original), Ju-On (can't remember if it was the OG or the American remake), Candyman, and the Thing. I was often home alone so I raided the VHS collection we owned and watched some shit, that tended to keep 8-year-old me up at night for days.

Ju-On specifically has a scene in it that I may or may not be remembering wrong but it fueled my lifelong fear of black human silhouettes with eyes.

Hence why I was legit unsettled by the first volume of Mandela Catalgoue.

Edit: But then again, I was bit of a weird kid. I got nightmares but I was fascinated and even stuff like Titanic terrified me, not because of the disaster but rather the scenes of frozen corpses in the water, staring at you as you sail by.

This was totally me. I was the biggest bitch as a kid, couldn't even play Ocarina of Time because of the zombie enemies. I remember accidentally watching Toolbox Murders when I was in my early teens (I had some movie channel on while I was doing something else and it came on without me realizing it) and I almost threw up during one of the kills.

Nowadays I'm proper fucked and I'm completely desensitized to even real gore, I wonder what happened.

I was too much of a goody-two-shoes to do that kind of thing. The closest I ever came was mistaking The Day After Tomorrow for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow when I was nine (maybe younger). Watching people flash freeze was really spooky as a kid. Nowadays my childhood trauma regarding the film has left me and I laugh whenever I see it.

I always wanted to watch the creepy stuff, then get super scared because i was a wussy. My mom would rather let me watch some edgy movie under her supervision and then deal with my annoying ass freaking out than let me watch some fruity crap like Barney or the teletubbies. Working with developing children was her whole career, so maybe she was onto something,

For a while i was really scared of the blob and thought the blob was going to come out of the sink or the shower. Also was scared of critters or gremlins being under my bed or biting me if i didn't look before i put my hand in a drawer.

That's a time honored tradition in good standing right up there with bathing in all the spook potential of the covers of the tapes you weren't allowed to rent at the video store. So many of those were so much scarier than the movies ended up being. I definitely did but I got more fucked up by walking into the room at night with impeccable timing while my parents were watching The Shining. This guy's experience at a sleepover is similar, there were others (I tried to watch 12 Monkeys while mom was at the store once for some reason?) but the twins were my big one.

Unsolved Mysteries for me. Used to run for cover when that kicked up.

Chris Cunningham is awesome. There's a great DVD collection of some of his music videos and ad spots that's worth picking up if you see it. Found it at Borders or something after MTV did one of their "Most Controversial Music Videos" programs because I wanted "Come to Daddy" but it ended up making me a Portishead fan.

Agreed though. The messed up faces in "Another Brick in the Wall" and the spinning pig head in "Closer" scared the hell out of little me.
Offtopic but why does your screenshot look like it's been smeared with bovril?
There's an auto night mode enabled on my device for cozy bedtime reading. Didn't realize it looked so wonky but that's an apt description. Bovril browsing.

According to my mother I did this so much she finally gave up trying to stop me and told me as a child if I get scared it's my own fault. I saw a lot of things like Nightmare on Elm st, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Candyman really whatever my parents were watching. My dad did let me see Heavy Metal far to young, and my favorite movies as a child where Conan and Mad Max road warriors.

Genesis Land of Confusion was it for me, those damn puppets.

Scared the hell out of me but I watched it with my dad all the time. I was convinced at age 6 that aliens hid in storm clouds.
 
Guilty as charged. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original), Ju-On (can't remember if it was the OG or the American remake), Candyman, B and the Thing.
I'm having a hard time placing what "B" is, can you spell it out?

I'm assuming you don't mean Beetlejuice.

... and while we're talking about scary childhood movies here.... Watership Down and Secret of NIMH are mine. I honestly remember Watership Down being one of my earliest viewing experiences, when I was too young to understand any of the symbolism and a part of my mind probably interpreted the movies literally...... so yeah imagine being three and seeing the "fields covered with blood" scene.

Oh, my apologies. I had a brain fart when I was meant to type in Brothers Lionheart before I realized it was technically irelevant. Not a horror movie per se. Actually a kid's movie but it dealt with some grim, explicit themes like death and rebirth. The movie literally starts with the child main characters dying and ends with them committing suicide together

The amount of death, and the execution scenes kept me up at night

My dad was obsessed with Aphex Twin in the early 2000's. He grew up in the crowd that listened to Laurie Anderson and Kraftwerk, so I'm happy I inherited his music taste.
However, whenever he would put on the music video for Rubber Johnny, Come To Daddy or Donkey Rhubarb I would always run away to the farthest corner of the house. They have probably altered my brain chemistry in some way or another. (still love you, Dad!)
 
While we are talking about things that were scary to you as a kid but weren't meant to be "The Animals of Farthing Wood" was one of my favourites but also terrified me at times, mostly because like, half of the animals died in pretty intense ways and that was a lot for me to deal with as a little kid L O L

Both of those, and a sleeper: The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, when those bad dudes in the swamp were abusing the animals and the way the scene was set up really unnerved little me. I forgot about that until your comment so I may be mistaken, but the premise was runaway/throwaway animals getting on the road as a band so its a safe assumption.
