I watched VHS 94 last night, that was pretty awesome aside from the super, randomly cheesy ending where everyone just hams it up out of nowhere and rushes the conclusion. Every short was a hit for me though, really grindhouse-esque and a lot of fun gore effects. The aesthetic of this film is awesome, makes you feel dirty on the inside and outside for watching these taboo tapes. I particularly note the use of lighting and obstruction through all the shorts which really made events stand out for their claustrophobia and effective jump scares built up through atmosphere. I think this is pretty easily my favorite VHS film.

It's pretty fucking thrilling front to back but it has a few missteps that really drag it down, chief among them being rather uncompelling villains that supposedly tie into each specific character's arc but end up feeling so underbaked due to lack of focus, it never quite comes together. I've played this game through twice and each time at the end teamed up with Trevor and Michael which is satisfying; I can't imagine choosing to go after one of the other protagonists instead or how it effects the ending. Michael's family drama is some real fun stuff and even heart-wrenching at times; sentimentality isn't really GTA's strong suit but I think it shines through well here. Franklin... is Franklin, by far the weakest character as he feels like nothing but a pawn and conduit for other characters throughout, which is intentional to some extent I believe, but still, it doesn't always mean a compelling character is wrought from it. Trevor's arc is outstanding, with some of the darkest and most mean-spirited (but still humorous) moments ever put to a video game, and yet it also manages to be the most tragic and sad of the storylines too. Steven Ogg deserves an Oscar for his performance, as the range of emotions Trevor portrays throughout the game is seriously impressive for his type of character. The heists are lovingly crafted, side missions are each rich and memorable, and the game even offers enough room for ambient storytelling through emergent gameplay. There's honestly a lot going on here that's hard to explain in a topic like this, from subtle satire to the analysis of social status to the thematic symbolism of the mundane vs. the extravagant, but I really do think it's all fantastically done, and I think the fact I was able to play through a long open-world game like this twice really says a lot, at least for me.

119. Friday the 13th (NES game) (12 points)

During the NES era of video games, horror was something rarely tackled but always intriguing to see done. There was a time when the NES still appeared to be a kids' toy to most adults around the country, and thus, most violent and gruesome horror was heavily censored by developers by the time it reached the hands of kids in living rooms across the nation, if it ever did at all. Still, survival horror, then an unnamed genre, was in its infancy and being explored by many developers through small & subtle ways, whether through the Gothic horror imagery of Castlevania, the exploratory RPG Sweet Home, or this action-open world game, Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th, as a franchise, was just as big as any MCU property now, the most successful horror franchise of all time until the recent Halloween films, so a video game adaptation made perfect sense (this game wasn't the first however, a 1986 Friday the 13th game for Commodore 64 & others was previously released). Horror franchises had a few dabbles in the video game medium up to this point: Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead, but they were often simplistic, cheaply designed or for a niche audience. Friday the 13th is the first game in my opinion to take what the films did and translate it at least somewhat accurately for a wide audience. The game opens with the horror shot of Jason's mask getting stabbed in the eye with a knife as the screen flashes bloody red, clearly prepping you for... a brightly-colored and peppy sidescroller where you throw rocks at zombies that sail right over their heads. It's a jarring contrast, but not one entirely unearned. It invokes one of the key thrills of the Friday the 13th franchise that made it such an iconic franchise in the first place: an idyllic bright summer of carefree fun turned violent and bloody in the course of one night. Your disposable cast of camp councilors fits perfectly with the film's equally kill-ready cast, however with considerably more survivability and methods to fight back. Jason is as relevant and present a threat as any future horror stalker character: Scissorman, Nemesis, Pyramid Head. The way you engage with him is arcade-like with either action side-scroll encounters or weird Punch-Out style sessions, but the game emphasizes his threat by saying you only beat him "...for now" or that he has come back stronger, calling back to the films in a way that makes sense to the rules of the game as well. The clunky movement and ineffective combat would predate the complaints people would have about tank controls years later, and finding items and notes is quite similar in structure to what Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark would continue to evolve. However, I only enjoy this game as an idea and stepping stone - the game really is obtuse and tedious to play as the AVGN (whose review is probably the most well known thing about this game now) would have you believe. That's okay though, because I still think, for the time, Friday the 13th did its best with a franchise against all odds, from design limitations to outside censorship, and a key piece of horror game history that should get more respect than it does.

You know, at first, The Conjuring didn't really stick with me when I first watched it either. Felt like a bland haunted house movie and wasn't remotely scary. But I gave it another chance years later and for some reason it really resonated with me a lot more. I think I understood what it was trying to be better, this sort of spectacle film that other genres typically get the treatment for over horror. Though I think Conjuring 2 is even better, a true blockbuster horror in every sense. The latter two Annabelle films also might be worth a watch, i actually think they're pretty unique for doll horror films, more so Annabelle Creation, and it's a rare case where explaining the scary thing's origins makes it better, at least in my view (NOT the first though, that is another terrible one).

120. The Nun (2018 film) (11.5 points)
Nominated by: wallmasterz

Importance: 5
Fear: 4.5
Snake: 2

The Conjuring series of films continues to be a massive success for Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, despite absolutely awful films like this 2018 dud, The Nun. Capitalizing on Valak's insane popularity after The Conjuring 2, The Nun attempts to "conjure" up a backstory for her, thus destroying any mystique or horror in the process. I know the Conjuring tries to be the MCU of horror films and makes them as accessible as possible, but they have such a unique opportunity here to create interesting horror films and just pump out the worst of absolutely generic junk like this. I guess as long as these films keep making over $300 million at the box office, why not? The Nun is the same demoniacal exorcism film you've seen a million times since The Exorcist: the Vatican, the Father, possession, Catholic imagery, jump scares galore. To give the film some credit, someone decidedly not used to this stuff would get scared pretty easily, I think, or at least jump a lot. While the jumps are not on the same level as previous Conjuring films were already doing and setting up, The Nun has a decent Gothic atmosphere that will certainly leave some viewers on the edge of their seats. It doesn't work for a seasoned horror vet like me though, and I think the story is so convoluted and boring that, when taking the horror out of the equation, I still don't think this is a very interesting film. The characters are all generic and there's a lot of malingering around with not a lot going on. It only serves to provide context to future Conjuring films, which is sorely unneeded as mentioned previously. I know I'm at least somewhat in the minority. The Nun is the highest-grossing film in the franchise, and spawned off several Nun knock-off films which I haven't seen but are probably even worse than this. The series has the potential to be greater than this drivel, I just hope the series' creators learn the right lessons from it in the end.

In one book, a peaceful ambassador of the New Republic goes as an emissary to the Vong, and in order to better understand their culture, he's subjected to the Embrace of Pain, a horrible torture device, then he's skinned alive and his skeleton is sent back to the New Republic. I'm pretty sure the Vong thought this was, like, an offer of cultural exchange or something.

121. Yuuzhan Vong (Star Wars Legends) (11.5 points)
Nominated by: rwlh (4/5 remaining)


Importance: 2.5
Fear: 4
Snake: 5

There's a bit to say about the safeness and staleness of Star Wars movies. For all the subverting people claim they do, it's only the canon of Legends that seems to get anywhere with it. Take the Yuuzhan Vong for example, a totally alien species completely immune to the force. Much like the Reapers from Mass Effect, they exist outside of the known Star Wars galaxy, and caused great destruction and death to the New Republic numbering in the trillions. While Star Wars can be known for having minor horror influences such as the Rankor pit or Luke's psychological encounter with Darth Vader, the Yuuzhan Vong really wears the inspiration on their sleeves. Part-Hellraiser, taking pleasure from pain and vast arrays of body modification, and Part-Lovecraft due to their unknown and mysterious origins, they represent a unique threat to the people of the galaxy beyond the typical Sith and stormtroopers most heroes go up against. The mold here is still very much Star Wars, and they find workarounds to use the force against them, but the Vong are a genuine threat and cause much chaos during their entire invasion before mellowing out a bit afterwards. It's some nice experimentation for Star Wars, and though no longer canon, there have been attempts to at least make allusions to them, such as the Grysk in Thrawn: Alliances. They are for sure an interesting species, if a little derivative for my tastes, one adds another wrinkle to the tapestry that is Star Wars.

Wrestling is inherently a sport about being as loud and brash as possible, pissing off as many people as you can, and having just a bunch of goofy fun as you're doing it. The Brood certainly ticks off all three of these boxes. The WWF/WWE has a storied history of horror gimmicks: The Undertaker probably is the chief example, with The Fiend taking the helm for modern day events, but wrestlers like Doink the Clown and Mick Foley's Mankind also fill in particular niches in the canon for specific wrestling fans all over. The Brood is a clan of vampires and includes the members Gangrel, Christian, and Edge. They would arrive on stage and drink "blood" before spitting it out on to the crowd. They also had another gimmick called a "blood bath" where they would drench their opponent in blood after a sequence of flashing red lights. Looking back on it now, it's easy to call this cheesy and outdated, but I didn't grow up watching this stuff, I'm just a casual spectator decades after the fact. I don't think it holds up as well as other horror themed wrestlers, especially in terms of looks and fashion. The Brood often associated themselves with the Ministry, a stable of horror & satanic-themed wrestlers, which included the Undertaker, and The Brood were seen as lackeys by the group, with Christian even getting flogged at one point, but eventually the Brood proved their alliance with each other over the Ministry and defected from the group. The Brood was an essential stepping stone for boosting the popularity and awareness of Christian and Edge, who, I, as a non-wrestling fan even know, so despite any perceived lameness on my part it's clear to see The Brood were at least somewhat of a big deal. They may not have been scary per se, but for adding a little tinge of Gothic flair to the ring, there definitely could've been worse.

Nominated by: Axl_Rose_85 (4/5 remaining)

Fear: 3
Snake: 5

Poor Ethan...

Ethan, Ethan, Ethan. What a weird character he is. The Resident Evil series is known for its bombastic leads: Chris Redfield, the boulder-punching asshole; Leon Kennedy, the rookie turned super agent with his cheesy movie quality one-lines; Jill "I'll give you S.T.A.R.S." Valentine. But Ethan is just... Ethan. It works for the games, don't get me wrong, but there's certain thematic elements of the Resident Evil series that make it the franchise it is. You need a certain level of flair to make it in the series and Ethan just doesn't cut it for me. "I'm sick of bugs" just isn't on the same level as "you're right hand comes off?". One of the true underrated joys of the series is seeing these ultra-prepped and super badass main characters go up against insurmountable odds: it almost makes it scarier when even those prepped for every situation struggle to rise to the occasion. It's why Jill and her desperate escape from Nemesis feels thematically satisfying on many levels, because you're a powerful character, yes, but here comes this Tyrant who is even more powerful, and it's up to you to put a stop to him despite all the odds. Mr. White Collar Shirt Ethan Winters never feels like he rises to the occasion in the same way. He remains the same old bumbling idiot through both RE7 AND RE8 mind you, and while his determination is admirable, Ethan's lack of a identifiable personality or even a face makes each victory feel hollow. In both games, the cast of villains EASILY tower over Ethan and you almost feel like you have no control as the villains guide every action you do. If there's one thing, I'm glad that apparently Village is the end of Ethan's story. He DID at least get to go out a hero, so that's one thing. It's weird, because Resident Evil has a whole slew of memorable characters in every game, even characters with one-off appearances. The fact that Ethan DOESN'T stand out doesn't make him more interesting, it just makes him more liable to be forgotten in the future games down the line.

Not at all! I actually probably like RE6 more than most, but I think it's FAR from being an essential Resident Evil. For one, If you're not 100% invested in the overarching RE story than you will hate the campaigns' storylines for sure. Then, there's the differences in tone between each campaign that will hit or miss depending on what you're into. Boss fights drag on far too long than necessary and vehicle sections are liable to cause massive headaches.

If I had a suggestion, I would try jumping into the games' Mercs mode and testing out the combat mechanics. You can do some truly insane shit, with quickshooting, sliding and dodging, a vast suite of melee moves. It's actually pretty fun once you get into it.

My essentials list would be this, in this order:

Resident Evil 2 Remake
RE7
RE8
Resident Evil 3 Remake
Resident Evil 5
Revelations 1 + 2

Resident Evil 2 Remake isn't just one of the best REs ever made, it stands as a must-play essential of gaming in general. Coming off of RE4, you'll find right at home with its OTS perspective and similar gunplay. The game is as challenging as you want it to be, with perfectly balanced difficulty settings. If you want a real survival horror experience, hardcore is the way to go but otherwise normal offers a good balance. RE2 is one of the shining examples in the genre and I constantly suggest it as a gateway game.

RE7 & RE8 should come next. The transition to first-person means things are up close and personal and thus more frightening. RE7 is far closer to a traditional survival horror game, with puzzle exploration and heavy resource management. RE8 is similar to RE4 and has more emphasis on action. It's also more linear with the caveat being there's a lot of places to go off the beaten path and hunt for treasure if you desire.

RE3 remake is a thrill-ride and will not be the game you're expecting after RE2 remake. People rag on this game all the time, for some good reasons, but in my opinion it's a fantastic distillation of action-horror in a game that won't take you very long to beat. It never lets up for a second, has memorable characters, and tons of replayability.

Resident Evil 5 is fantastic as a co-op game, as you may have heard. It's more of what RE4 offered, with a partner and interesting dynamic and interplay that comes with an extra gun. If you're into RE lore at all, I think it tells a great story as well.

Revelations games were the stopgaps between RE4 and RE7, the best and worst of both worlds: action and horror. They never quite commit to either one which makes them feel watered down at times, but the pacing and structure of them means things never feel too stale. I actually quite love Revelations 2, a lot due to the character work (Claire & Barry hell yeah), but there's also great horror moments in it too.

Importance: 3

Based on the hit animated series House of Mouse, which sees Disney icon Mickey Mouse owning and operating a dinner & movie theater and showing classic cartoons to real Disney characters from the entire canon, Mickey's House of Villains is this concept but blown up to feature length scale. The series did gangbusters for introducing an entire new generation to vintage Disney cartoons and massively boosting the popularity of even the most obscure characters in the Disney line-up. House of Villains features some of the most notable and popular villains Disney had to offer at the time: Jafar, Captain Hook, Ursula, Cruella de Vil, and even Chernabog joined the fray, as they plot to take over the House of Mouse and turn it into, you guessed it, the House of Villains. I like how it's a bit of an anthology set-up, with the over-arching plot and the cartoons being the vignettes. The cartoons, by the way, are easily the best part of this. The stuff with the villains is the dollar store tape holding the whole thing together to be honest. Trick or Treat, from 1952, is the best on here and an absolute delight. From Huey, Dewey, and Louie's adorable Halloween costumes to Hazel the Witch's endlessly creative spells, the whole short screams HALLOWEEN, with gorgeously fluid animation, aesthetically-pleasing color palette, and gut-busting slapstick humor. Lonesome Ghosts is another great one, every character oozes personality with subtle animation tics, and the cast of ghoulish ghosts are tricksters and pranksters and watching the hilarity they pull off just puts a smile on my face. I will say some of the newer shorts aren't as high for me as the classic ones, such as the visually abstract Mickey's Mechanical House, but they're still fun to watch and creative in their set-pieces. As an excuse to show some Disney cartoons and do a fan-service character mash-up, you can do worse, I'll tell you. But if you were thinking of showing this on Halloween or something, I'd maybe just pick out the best shorts and show them instead.

Tesleen is a character that half works for me. Tesleen is a rather simplistic character: a kind-hearted caretaker with a tragic past which makes it easy to get behind her and her motivations. She's sweet, helpful, and pure, and can even kick some butt if she needs to. So when she gets stabbed in the back by a Sin Eater, a maliciously twisted version of an angel, the shock is inherently built in. What really sells it thought is the absolute dead expression in her face as the transformation into the very thing that kills her occurs. This is what loses me a little however. Yes the initial expression is terrifying, but the jilted animations here and cheesy voice acting don't go far enough in expressing the agony and emotional weight Tesleen should be experiencing then. I think there is where an actual horror game would better serve something like this, the whole transformation would be better shown in excruciating detail to emphasize the corruption and the darkness overtaking the light. As it stands, I'm glad other mediums are pushing this sort of thematic quality and exposing it to a wider audience, but it's still lacking that last piece of emotional weight that push this scene up the next echelon of fantastic horror scenes, gaming or otherwise.

Part horror, part sci-fi alternate history story, and part political conspiracy, there's a lot here to take in as is the case with most SCPs. As I understand it, SCP-2776 WAS our first president in the SCP universe, created as a sort of fail-safe in the case of George Washington's death. Made with the appropriate technology of the time (I didn't fact check this), but also with additional advanced technology. There's some hidden depths to it as well which only activate upon the breaking of three rules:

• The United States of America exists as a free democracy.
• Great Britain, its citizenry, or any party originating within its borders does not pose a threat to the safety and stability of America or any of its assets.
• The French Republic exists and is not threatened by the United Kingdom.

It's an interesting and mind-capturing concept, and targets a lot of specific fears and anxieties: the fear that our leaders aren't who they say they are, that they're puppets controlled by shadowed figures, or simply that they don't originate from a place of normalcy. To discover this would be an earth-shattering reveal and would genuinely cause a lot of people to go mad or insane, as the very structure of the nation crumbles under this truth. The people as a whole would lose the one thing that at least somewhat ties the whole nation together under a guiding hand.

On the other hand, I've seen this concept done a little bit in other fictional sources. Metal Gear tackles this with the concept of AIs, or Fallout with Liberty Prime, basically the Washington automaton blown up to a much bigger scale. The way it's treated in the article is rather rote and when it does go haywire i feel like it could've went even farther in the destruction it caused. The SCP is also mostly docile which diminishes some of the horror quite a bit. Most of the horror here comes from "what ifs?", which are frankly more interesting to tackle than the actual concept.

The song above is a total joke by the way and isn't associated with the SCP BUT it does happen to tie into the SCP quite well as it were. And it's just a bangin' song too.

The only commercials I ever see or hear anymore really are on Spotify and I despise that Trolli commercial they play.
