Ever read an horror comic that got you actually spooped? I haven't, so tell me the name of the one that made you spoop your pants.
Even with movies and video games horror does nothing for me, well beside body horror to gross me out. Jump "scares" is more of a reflex than actually being scare. If you see a cute kitten being launch at your face you would fucking move out of the way right? Yet at the same time can you really say you are scare of the cute kitten? That my logic for jump scares anyway.
I do have one fear and that is being chased. Not necessary scare of the thing chasing me but the chase itself and the thing not stopping until I am caught/killed. Final Destination type stuff basically though a physical form is good too if it can't be stopped and even better if it can't been fully seen. Most horror movies and such crap out as soon you see the shit puppet/makeup/CGI of the monster. Remove all of the fear as you know what it is and often it isn't even half as scary as you thought it would be.
I wish I could enjoy horror, I really do but everything I have seen may as well been a shit copypasta from /x/ to me.
Gotham By Midnight #1 had me on pins and needles reading it for the first time.
It's what got me into the horror genre.
>>78528102
Have you seen It Follows?
>>78527938
It really varies with me. Most horror comics don't really freak me out in the moment, but every so often, usually when I'm home alone or in the dark, one of them will hit me and freak me out a bit. Most horror comics that manage to frighten me do more through atmosphere or art. Jocks art in Wytches, for example, makes my skin crawl. Anything aquatic generally gets me too. Funnily enough Nailbiter, which is nominally a horror comic but not one that I usually just read because I like the story, is one that actually scares me when I least expect it. I'll be opening up at work early in the morning and I'll get the weird sensation that one of the killers is going to be in the shop with me, standing at the top of the stairs.
>>78528210
Don't believe so. I'll check it out.
>>78528102
/lit/ suggestion but if you like the following type of enemy you should read the Hyperion series
>>78528342
By all means do.
>>78528392
Can you give me an idea of what it's about?
Not that anon but I'm intrigued.
>>78528210
that movie was crap
>>78528472
I think your opinion is crap and It Follows is one of the best horror movies in the past decade.
There.
>>78528451
4-part series of novels that mirror the canterbury tales set in the far future
won't say much as to not ruin it but one of the main plot points is around a machine creature that is like a demigod and targets certain people throughout time to torture/kill them for unknown reasons
>>78528472
Care to explain why it is shit. You are free to your own opinion but often most people find movies to be shit because they either don't understand it (example being The Cabin in the Woods was a parody making fun of horror movies. The shaking force was even you the viewer getting upset) or due to personal reasons as I have a friend who literally hate bad ending to the point to calling the whole movie shit over it. He watch movies to escape from reality not to be reminded of it, at least that was his excuse.
Sorry but just saying something is shit won't cut it for me. You may as well be my friend who hate bad endings where I personally love them if they are done right.
>>78528451
It's not really that great. Certainly not scary. There's a literally edgy Darth Vader following people around, sometimes skewering them for unknown reasons. It's more a mystery figure than a horror character.
First book is OK but it really goes off the rails after that. Dan Simmons does a lot of the time, unfortunately.
That said, he does have some pretty damn good horror books. I'd recommend The Terror, Summer of Night, Children of Night, and Song of Kali.
>>78528528
me
>>78528746
the second book was okay and delved deeper into the AI and genetic ideas and it's been a few years but you're right, it's ultimately forgettable but still enjoyable.

I just want to stop a second and congratulate you on having great taste in OP images
>>78527938
I was a kid when I read pic related, maybe 7 or so.
The story at the bottom of the cover was the one that creeped me out the most, of the 3 stories in it. Basically, without too many spoilers, the guy on the bottom of the cover would get a hint of an apple perfume just before bad shit would happen. He would also catch glimpses of a dead relative.
The comic was one of my earliest experiences with horror and it didn't help that I had a fertile imagination and would sleepwalk. One of my personal favorite comics ever.
>>78529692
Uncle Bert's wild ride sounds pretty scary
>>78527938
Some of Delano's Hellblazer stories didn't scare me, but left me seriously unsettled. Which is quite rare these days.
Halloween: Nightdance kind of creeped me out.
The Remains, from Monkeybrain comics. 4 issue mini. Bretty gud.
Try The Biologic Show or any comic by Al Columbia.
this artist is pretty spooky
>>78528619
Not guy you're replying to. Personally, aside from the first scene where the lead is tied to a chair, I didn't feel like there was much tension in the film and that the the characters of the film made some stupidly bad decisions. It's been a while since I've seen it but I distinctly remember thinking "why would he/she do that, thats a terrible solution" multiple times.
Babadook was better, but it went downhill towards the end as well. Competent horror films are few and far between.
>>78532193
Deborah Logan was better than babadook. I hated how babadook handled the monster/ending and loved how Logan handled it. It Follows had some flaws in logic for sure but the soundtrack and acting made up for it.
>>78527938
Nameless
>>78527938
I don't think it counts as horror, but it's still the most disturbing comic I can remember having ever read.
Emily Carroll does some legit creepy comics. I like Face All Red and The Prince and the Sea.
>>78532242
>Deborah Logan
Oh man, that and Grave Encounters exceeded my expectations big time. The scene near the end where she's unhinging her jaw genuinely scared me.
>>78527938
Adamtine by Hannah Berry, no doubt.
>>78532592
This was also very good and uncomfortable.
>mfw Junji Ito

I feel like one day menton3 will also illustrate something scary, but he's not quite got there yet.
When I was about 9, I read one of Moore's Swamp Thing issues. I remember being absolutely scared out of my skin when I saw this white monkey ghost thing, I can't remember what it was called, but it gave me nightmares.
>>78532930
That's the Monkey King. It's in the three-parter where Morrison writes Etrigan as a Rhyming Demon, and pretty much everyone else has kept that bit of characterization ever since.
>>78533019
>morrison
Meant Moore, fuck. Freudian slip there.
>>78532879
Came here to say Em Carroll
She makes some pretty spooky comics
Harrow County Op, pretty creepy/spooky
>>78527938
Last year's Halloween someone storytimed a comic version of Clive Barker's Rawhead Rex. Shit's fucking unsettling in bits. My stomach turned a bit whenhe bit his first victim in half, a little girl.
>>78530097
That was a good story too. Kind of sad from what I remember, it's been a long time since I read this. IIRC the story goes like this:
>Bert was the carousel operator at an amusement park.
>loved kids, none of his own. Just likes seeing people happy.
>some people treated him like shit.
>one day he was treated pretty poorly and did some drinking.
>group of kids snuck into park.
>he catches em but says frig it and puts the carousel on for them.
>one of the kids has never grabbed the golden ring
>Uncle Bert leaves the carousel on
>everyone is having a blast and enjoying life
>kid finally gets ahold of a gold ring
>Uncle Bert tells everyone it's time to go now (been going almost to sunrise).
>smiles all around
>kids get caught on way out.
>kids tell what happened.
>park worker goes to talk/yell at Uncle Bert.
>Uncle Bert had been dead in a chair for hours.
I've recently become a semi regular /co/ lurker. It's pretty good here, I've been able to check out comics I never would have otherwise (like Lilith, or old Spider Man, or even political cartoons and Slylock.), great variety compared to other sites out there. And the SJW bullshit is to a minimum, looking at you Comics Alliance (you used to be so good).
Anyways, as a thanks I'm going to look for this issue over the next few weeks, scan it and story time it for you all.
>>78532123
For anybody who doesn't know, the artist is Junji Ito. I recommend Uzumaki and Gyo.
>>78532879
I love Locke & Key. Its amazing, however that comic proved to me that comics can't be scary. They can make you feel uneasy but it just can't cross into the true fear area. Now a good movie or TV show could take some things in locke n key and make them truly scary. Then again I'm also a cynical ass who doesn't get scared that easily.
>>78532123
Some of his pages are GOAT but I've always felt that he doesn't know how to end a story. His comics don't end, they just sort of stop. And he should be like Ligotti or Aickman, making things weird and leaving them like that. Yet he strives more for trying to find closure and offer some sort of explanation.
>>78535681
Ligotti, I think last year on halloween someone storytimed one of his comics, about a guy who finds a cult of clowns in a small town. 3spooky5me.
>>78532107
seconded
quite disturbing
>>78529685
Technically that's from the live action.
>>78537324
yeah I know, I didn't have any pics of the Live action film on me at the time.
I stand by may statement though, those movies where great
>>78535628
There was one page with the well which was scary in that volume, I think - that's all I'd actually count though. I don't think I've ever seen a TV show that's pushed things into "true fear" either, but I've definitely seen it in film and heard it in music. Read it in books as well, but that was when I was a kid and a right pussy.
>>78532697
>grave encounters
Haven't seen that one yet. Is the name a pun?
>>78532242
>I hated how babadook handled the monster/ending
Why?
The Babadook is grief, when you understand this the ending makes perfect sense.
>>78538715
Isn't The Babadook mental illness?
>>78532879
>His Face All Red
NOPE NOPE NOPE
I totally forgot I read that. The scene in the hole man... The scene in the hole. I wish someone would storytime that again.
>>78538682
I guess. It's set in an insane asylum and there are no graves, so go figure. It's pretty mediocre.
>>78538791
Yes. It's like the Shining, except instead of being ghosts it's really just an abusive parent going crazy.
>>78538715
just because it makes sense doesn't mean it was a good ending.
>>78528102
Horror video games really do it for me, especially if there's a strong narrative. Alien: Isolation and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs freaked me the fuck out.
>>78532608
The story in Through the Woods with thewormswas creepy as all hell
>>78538715
>The Babadook is grief, when you understand this the ending makes perfect sense
Not that poster. But by the third act the whole Babadook as metaphor bit was so opaque and heavy handed that the movie lost much of its initial punch. Allegories work when they aren't so straight forward. Still wonderful first 2/3.
I liked Deborah Logan primarily because of the performances and the restraint of the filmmakers that built up the ending. It was a rare case of skillful execution overpowering the boredom I typically feel from the well-traveled found footage genre.
>>78531393
That the one with the page of the woman who's face Meyers cut up like a pumpkin?
That was freaky, anyone have that page?
A few.
Shintaro Kago's manga is horrifying, but not really spoopy I guess.
>>78527938
What's the source of OP image anyway?
>>78540798
Already said in the thread.
What was that one comic, it was korean or something about a woman who haunted a street?
>>78528472
>>78540798
Zeiram. It's a live action tokusatsu movie which spawned an animated series called Iria, featuring a really hot female lead and very cool sci-fi designs.
>>78540520
>>78539990
They're immersive in a way that other media can't match.
PT was fucking insane.
Emily caroll's stuff is not scary per say but pretty eerie
>>78532592

*sigh*
>>78542667
her fault is that her art looks like typical webcomic-tier shit. She has good ideas.
>>78539990
>Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs freaked me the fuck out.
Was it your first horror game? That game was a joke.
>it's a 'clowns are scary' episode
>>78542707
not that poster, but the strip with the thing trying to mimic a baby bird andgetting his throat coredgot me a little.
>>78532123
>Ito
NOPE
I DONT WANT FISH PLAQUE OR PIZZA FACE TONIGHT
>>78539146
I just read it on your recommendation, and it was actually kind of boring.
Really hard to take opinions on this, as I often find that what people consider scary gives me absolutely nothing.
>>78532123
I think Ito just likes to draw really creepy and uncomfortable shit
I still wanna know what the fuck was up with the oil story where the girl was being forced to drink oil then it just abruptly ends with the father being an oil monster.
>>78535681
Hellstar Remina and Gyo had definite endings; they're not the only ones either. He does sudden conclusions a lot, but he can end a story traditionally when he feels up to it.
>>78535628
I don't know, the part before the happy ending,where the love interest commits suicide and then the two best friends diemade me contemplate life and death for a few good days. You expect certain people in these books to come out fine because THEY didn't do anything wrong, the other people did, and when they suffer, it's like...life is just fucked up.
>>78527938
is dat zum Zeiram?

The only people who find this frightening are claustrophobics.
>>78551659
kc green is so great. I miss gunshow heavily.
Any of the rape scenes from Berserk completely ruin me. Rape is 10x more terrifying to me than gore.
I dunno if anyone can help me, but there's a Junji Ito story about a tall fucked up girl that looks scary as shit that follows a group of people around. She peers through a dudes window at some point. THAT is scary.
Comics and books are the only form of Horror I can handle, because there aren't jump scares. I had to leave the most recent Evil Dead movie to chill out outside when the character went into the basement.

I know exactly what that is and I'm not clicking it. Does it still havethat script that makes the head-turn picture scroll with you if you try to scroll away in panic?
>>78554589
not for me
>>78554589
Yeah, doesn't work on mobile though, which kinda ruins the immersion.
>>78551247
>this still scares people
>>78554589
FUCK
THAT REALLY GOT ME
supernatural horro never really scares me. even though i try to suspend my disbelief, i still have sort of a disconnection from the events
what really scares me is the feeling of helplessness and random violence. the though of getting beaten to death or raped or tortured just because you were at the wrong place and time makes me spoop my pants.
>>78541304
Thanks. Creeped me the hell out when it was storytimed a few years ago, couldn't find it after that.
>>78528102
You are scared by jump scares. Of course eliminating the thing you're scared of as 'not actually SCARY just startling and likely to make me scream' means you have a hard time being scared. You're changing the definition.

One of the Hellraiser comics released by Epic back in the 1990s.
I think it was called "With My Lips".
>>78527938
Too bad Halloween season is over. That's when I like to experience spooky stuff. It's my favorite time for the year for that.
I've been looking for scary comic books but nothing in comics has even remotely been scary to me. It's one of the weaknesses of the medium.
>>78528210
It Follows was overrated. Great OST, great premise, great cinematography, but it just fell flat.
>>78539990
I love both horror movies and video games, but the interactivity that comes with a survival horror game is something that gives video games an edge. It REALLY puts you into the game.
>>78556543
>>78556359
>>78554865
Don't forget to turn on the sound as well.
>>78557144
I dunno, I wouldn't count that. There's no psychological element to it, just a "don't get hit by something moving fast" reflex.
>>78557144
You scream at jump scares?
>>78532123
I've discussed this with a friend before, but I think Junji Ito works backwards.
Like with the pimple one. He just said "Okay, what's the most disgusting thing I can think of... Someone with a face that's nothing but pimples popping all of them over someone's face! Now how can I get there?"
Or "What's creepy... claustrophobia? Body horror? Sure, how do I make that happen?"
It makes for some striking images, but weakish and strange stories.
>>78532193
I get what you're saying, but people who are freaking the fuck out generally don't make reasoned out, rational decisions.
The ending was pretty lame, though, I have to agree.
>Get proper spooked by things the viewer sees but the characters don't
>Reading Adamtine
>Characters get on train, don't see spooky face behind them
>Right as I read this big gust of wind makes the door bang
>NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
>>78540610
that feeling of dread you got late in this story was so perfect. My favorite still remains the story of the blind pianist.
>>78553723
I found the torture chamber to be the worst, but that's just me.
