Call me a moron but why aren't there any animated horror films?
You can pull off some incredibly unsettling stuff with animation.
How would you pull off a animated horror film, /co/?
...huh. Ive seen a lot of animated horror stuff, but if i try to name an animated horror full length film, i can only draw a blank. Does coraline count?
Also, more james lee animation when
>>84269883
>Call me a moron but why aren't there any animated horror films?
They are more expensive to produce, most horror films are either formulaic as fuck or low budget. Hollywood has lost faith in the genre. Even del Toro had massive executive meddling in his movie.
>You can pull off some incredibly unsettling stuff with animation.
Yeah, but that requires vision and faith in untested ground.
Better to just shit out ten more demonic possession movies that you can slap "based on a true story" on.
I'd love to see some animation of horror myths. Japanese mythology gets fucking scary as hell, and when you don't have moe crap eyes and instead have a more realistic and unstylized look you can pump out some fantastic horror. Not just the same basic Onryo The Grudge/The Ring ripoffs, there's a LOT of shit even anime has never touched with gold potential.
>>84269883
youtube "salad fingers", you can't really do horror, but you can do nightmare-tier disturbing with animation.
>>84269883
I can only think ofanimehorror movies, anon. Closest thing that I can think of for western animation isn't even a horror movie and just featured a really unnerving use of the medium (Anomalisa)
Granted this can be just me not being exposed by much. If you're interested in anime horror movies though, seek out Perfect Blue or Midori https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plWLib9iXX0
>>84270022
Coraline might count. Maybe Paranorman too?
But aren't they rated PG? I don't believe their intended to be full fledged horror films.
And James has animated one other thing, but Tarboy is still dead;_;
>>84270091
Japan has some really fascinating creatures I'd love to see explored more.
The Gashadokuro is easily my favorite.

>>84269883
>Call me a moron but why aren't there any animated horror films?
There probably isn't much of a market for them.
>>84269883
Like a 90 minute version of the animated part of The Cat with Hands. I'd take full advantage of the uncanny valley with the stop motion puppets and I'd have Joseph Bishara score it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4PR9NZlAB4
>>84269883
There's one called Where the Dead Go to Die.It's pretty shit
I'm working on a horror comic for this Halloween that I intend to later make into an animation with a group that I'm working with to put out some shorts for film festivals.
I care about it deeply cause I genuinely believe animated horror is an untapped artistic thing that hasn't been done to its fullest limits. I grew up on horror movies and the horror genre is my one really big passion. So I'm hoping I can churn out some stuff eventually, I've got literally hundreds of scripts for short animated horror stuff that I'm saving for it (it's an anthology series where the gimmick is the host also has an ongoing story going on)
Personally I think there just needs to be a good moment to introduce the market to the idea, and animation is in such a genre slump these days thst animated adult horror would really turn heads.
Like my boy Gaben says, though, these things, they take time.
Though as far as recommendations go, there's some schlock stuff like where the dead go to die and city of rott, albeit visually wtdgtd is very interesting, and I'd also recommend mdotstrange for a moodier eraserhead esque horror. There's some foreign stuff like fears of the dark, but you'd have better luck looking at old Russian animations for the mere hints of animated horror at its fullest.
It just makes me wish canceled projects like AD zombie (a cgi zombie story that had a teaser years before the walking dead game but never got funded) and the happy time murders (a graphic film noir murder with Jim Henson puppets that is in development hell) could get off the ground.
However there are a fucking million horror student shorts, blackwater gospel being one I recommend, but you could get lost for days just browsing absolutely everything . There's this one beksinski inspired short I can't remember the name of, but it's good.
>>84270426
>Where the Dead Go to Die
That one's eh. It lacks a certain charm that can be found in say, mdotstrange's works. There's no lack in imaginative scenery however, but maybe a little bit of a narrative focus instead of JUST fucked up for the sake of fucked up could help (and that's not implying thats a negative. it could just help in making movies in the longrun.)
When Black Birds Fly looks pretty damn good though judging from the trailer.

Why would you need to animate a movie like saw or paranormal activity, that would just take you out of it and remove the human element that makes those kinds of movies freak people out.
>>84270765
>animate a movie like saw or paranormal activity
well there's your problem
>>84270769
Well let's say you animate a more risky good horror movie like, say, the babadook, or it follows. Or hell, halloween, or the Texas chainsaw massacre, or literally any classic horror movie.
Making it animated would just turn it into a lame series of visuals without any of the visceral reality that makes stuff scary in the first place, it would literally ruin the immersion.
Ifoundyou
>>84270712
This is partially the problem though
Most mainstream audiences see animation as a children's thing, with the exception of comedy shows like the Simpsons and Family Guy, it makes it hard to get the funding to create something as risky as an animated horror film.
>>84270811
I mean that's why people want to do/see that you CAN'T do with live action like >>84270407
The live action bits are honestly kind of hokey (not bad, but hokey) but everything about the stop motion bit is just filled to the brim with eeriness and inventive imagery that can only be achieved with animation.
Extreme Ghostbusters was scary as shit. But that wasn't a film.
>>84270845
It works the other way, as well. People think horror only means gory and scary, rather than a psychological introspection of a character's faults.
>>84270811
>i am literally unable to imagine horror movies that aren't lame slasher flicks or demon possessions
You should probably just leave.
>>84270884
sleep tight baby
>>84270811
I can't tell if you're serious or not. You literally posted two examples that would work perfectly in animation.
Babadook and It Follows rely on its characters' actions rather than its visuals. The most unsettling aspect of the Babadook is when the mother happily tells her son that he's going to go through the same internal struggles she's dealt with throughout the entire movie. That's the horror of the Babadook. Not a creepypasta monster.

Oof. And I figured he had a dream team thing going on with him being an artist and his wife making music for his cartoons.
I can think of City of Rott and Night of the Living Dead: Darkest Dawn. There's also a couple animated Resident Evil movies.

>>84270994
>The most unsettling aspect of the Babadook is
the fact that a shitty drama with zero subtlety whatsoever is considered a 10/10 horror movie by idiots. That's how little critics respect the horror genre that they pretend this piece of garbage is some kind of masterpiece.

anon probably means to say that the horror genre is probably hard to produce in western animation, since most cartoons are catered to children. Anime has a broader audience so it's easier to have horror/gore in those shows/films.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I've seen quite a number of horror flash cartoons on Newgrounds back in the day.
>>84271556
And yet anime almost never tries or mostly fails when it does.
The only good horror anime I have ever seen was the first season of Yami Shibai. That was a genuinely great atmospheric horror show.
>>84271012
Be that as it may, it freaked me out
>>84270584
I remember you! I really can't wait for your stuff.
>>84270841
Oh shit my boy Uno Moralez
I wasn't aware he did anything animated
>>84270811
Your mistake is assuming that an animated horror movie would just be a live-action horror movie animated.
If you set out to make an animated horror film, you would tell a story that is most frightening in an animated format.
Look at the better David Firth animations for example. None of those would be nearly as unsettling in live action.
>>84271569
>yami shibai
Great taste, you've reminded me to check out the newer seasons!
And yeah, I'm a huge slut for horror manga but I haven't seen a lot of good horror anime either. All of the adaptations of Junji Ito's stuff has been total garbage.
In regards to the west I think the situation is even more dire. How many horror comics can you name? I really like Al Columbia, and I suppose Hellboy and Beasts of Burden might count, but otherwise I'm drawing blanks.
Not trying to do a east > west thing I swear, I just can't think of much.
>>84271974
>you've reminded me to check out the newer seasons
DON'T! Don't repeat my mistakes.
Season 2 is pretty meh with some good moments here and there.
Season 3 is a cheap jumpscare-ridden shit with even less atmosphere than the season 2 and very goofy monsters. I hate how every fucking episode builds tension up only to result in something laughable like this. This scene is even funnier with sound, by the way.
>>84272027
Oh man that's disappointing. Ah well, at least Season 1 was great.
![Serial Experiments Lain 02.mkv_snapshot_12.08_[2016.07.05_14.44.20].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/NkBw1bZ.jpg "Serial Experiments Lain 02.mkv_snapshot_12.08_[2016.07.05_14.44.20].jpg")
Serial Experiments Lain isn't horror per se, but the mood is unsettling and there are some horror-tier scenes, like when Lain encounters the ghost or hallucination in episode 2. Horror does work in animation even if it's rarely done (it still works better in live action, so maybe that's why it's rare).
There's also stuff like Corpse Party but from what I understand it just relies on ultra-violence.
>>84272502
>it still works better in live action
I disagree. Something like Se7en or Silence of The Lambs, maybe but all the even slightly supernatural live-action horror mostly feels unnatural and not in a "feels disturbingly off" kind of way but the immersion-breaking way. I'd imagine with the right visuals something like Nightmare on Elm Street would be much better than it is as a movie.

It's called Man-Eater Mountain, I saw it at a film festival once. However the creator never released a DVD, or if he did, he refuses to ship it outside of Japan.
And then there's Yami Shibai, but anyway.

that's the thing that animation is the best at. modern horror has specifically focused on surrealistic elements, and what could possibly achieve more surrealism than something that has no human element?

>>84275407

Of course, everyone is certain that it's just part of the act, but in every interview where Lynch has been asked about the Eraserhead puppet he gets really uncomfortable and tries to change the subject.

1. There's a prevalent notion that cartoons are for kids.
2. It's harder to relate to cartoon characters compared to actors.
3. It's harder for cartoons to induce suspension of disbelief.

Martyrs is fucking hilarious. It's a dumb edgy gorefest that's impossible to take seriously.
It's like a Guinea Pig movie that decided it needs a shitty plot and even cheaper-looking gore.
>>84276606
it's always weird to me that people focus on the gore in martyrs, where there's really only two scenes in particular that qualify as such, and only one of them could be called cheap-loooking
it's a film that relies very heavily on brutality, but it's hardly gory in the sense like it's predecessor hostel was. a lot of the violence in martyrs was technically off-camera

See? This is a retarded logic.
Not that it matters because you have to be some kind of idiot or underage to find any piece of fiction scary. Disturbing and eerie is the best horror could achieve.
>>84276933
i'd actually flip the two around. antichrist was very, very poorly written but the cinematography and gore effects were top-notch
martyrs was well-written (and probably has the best acting i've seen in a horror film - it's a shame that the actresses involved never did anything good after) but it definitely could have been shot better

Reminds me of how they made a comic about a guy fucking a cute ghost girl to discourage teen suicide, and a cartoon about a girl who runs around with panties on her head and a loose apron but otherwise naked making sex jokes in a world where militarized censorship has caused people to forget what sex is to protest censorship. Or their greatest modern artist and animator spending his life making cartoons about not fucking up nature and having respect for old ways, all messages nobody payed any attention to and instead just watched them as cute cartoons.

>MUH FACADE OF REALITY
First of all, no horror movie ever feels slightly like anything that can happen in real life, so horror in general manages the whole "facade of real life" thing terribly.
Second of all, animation can easily achieve the "sucking into" bullshit you're rambling about and even provide with better visuals that don't feel forced. Third, "feeling like real life" is not necessary for horror.

According to him, he just draws his dreams. That's why only some are a series, he had that dream only once.
Fun fact: on average, a person has six dreams a night if they get a good eight hours. Three are usually nightmares which vary in severity from a jumpscare in an otherwise good dream to literally your worst nightmare, four are at least partially sexual in nature to equally varying degrees. That means most nights a perspn does indeed have a sexy nightmare. There has never been a direct correlation between gender or sexual orientation and those figures.
When you wake up, your brain sometimes retains fragments of these six then assembles them into one narrative as best it can while you are in the thirty seconds it usually takes to transition from sleep to waking.
The exception is when you are half asleep, where your brain tries to dream but ends up using the imagination of the waking brain as if daydreaming. These dreams usually have a far more coherent story.
Music is the best medium for horror, but very few can utilize its potential well.
Music, unlike movies, cartoons, comics and games can be truly frightening.
Maybe books is the only thing that can compare.

Oh shut up. Horror novels are renown for atmosphere and ideas, not fear factor. You don't get scared by looking at words on paper and hallucinating.
>>84277427
Hence "maybe"
I don't read horror fiction, unless you count R.L. Stein's books when I was a kid.
>>84277374
While your first point makes me want to call you a massive faggot, your last point is very true. You can use a lot of subtle technique to give a feeling of unease, especially using irregular movement or optical illusions. Or just things being out of ordinary proportions like pic related, the very first horror movie ever made which has completely insane geometry that makes the movie which has very little actually scary about it still come off as unsettling to watch.

>>84277515
If it wasn't for the Silent Hill comics and the degradation of the series thanks to the movies plus Konami being a shit, I'd say an anthology of animated Silent Hill shorts as a movie would be great.
Which is why I nominate The Animatrix as animated western horror. Some of those were western made as I recall.
>>84277458
My first point is true, at least for me.
Kind of blogshit, but I've spent my entire childhood sneaking out of my bed at night to watch a show about real-life serial killers, rapists and other criminals, describing their crimes in very gruesome details and showing their interviews, so after that any horror movie, even "realistic" ones feels like an overdramaticized piece of shit if you watch it like something that has any ties to reality and not like just a movie.

And, I can name some horror movies "art" too, but I wouldn't find any of them scary but there is music that at times makes me want to curl and shiver.

What about the soundtrack to The Shining?
Even without the movie, that music is scary as fuck. In fact, I'd argue the music alone is scary while the movie withiut the music is not.
The chick who made it invented a new instrument to make the ghostly sounds as I recall.

It was truly sad day when Kon died.

i'd say it follows, but the movie wasn't very good. amazing soundtrack to hear in a theatre though

oh i'm big on ruth white, but she's a more recent find of mine, so i always forget
>>84277568
Serial killers are not that scary aside from the possibility of one ACTUALLY being around, and I haven't ever found demonic possession scary either because I've never been very religious, but ghosts scared the SHIT out of me as a kid.
Also, the movie Alien. The cake ghost/zombie in Creepshow. Oh, and the original black and white Night Of The Living Dead, plus Resident Evil 2. Nothing else zombie related has been scary to me.
Oh, The Grudge and The Ring were scary as hell, plus Masters of Horror Reincarnation was too.

>Scott Walker
I love this whole trilogy. Walker's vocals should be cheesy, but they're for some reason terrifying instead.
>Xiu Xiu
I don't really find them scary. Same for stuff like PAper ChAse or Liars, although those have some creepy tracks like "God Forgive Us All" and "It Fit Better When I Was a Kid" respectively.
I mean, I love them all but still.

I find the music in The Shining very relaxing.

>paper chase
holy shit did that bring me back
but all of scott walker's work always had an unsettling air about it, even before his solo albums
as far as xiu xiu though, i only mentioned knife play for a reason. "i broke up" is an awesome, awesome track

Psycho maybe?
Megan is Missing and The Girl Next Door (the horror movie, obviously, not the other movie by the same name) gave me some confused feelings.

>tfw the only Ruth White thing I listened to was "Spleen"
Do you know any other stuff by her you recommend? I never heard anything like it and I need more.
>>84278211
The rest of Flowers of Evil album, Litanies of Satan album, some of Seven Trumps From The Tarot Card And Pinions.
Also, Spleen itself kind of reminds me of this at least atmosphere-wise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2CFegzCvf0
