what is the best scary tool ....?

[saw1]

Hi....

most of horror films use strange shapes to scary .....
some of them use masks or dolls and the other use Mutants..?
what is the best ?
dolls such as child’s play and saw ...
or masks such as scream and hallowen.... ?
or Mutants such as wrong turn?

I'm a bigger fan of horror films that don't use the jump in your face kind of horror, I like it to be atmospheric, unnerving, and creepy. It is better when it is something that is going to stick with you for awhile.

i prefer no tools. the best is when people who look perfectly normal at first, just start to go nuts for no apparent reason. or turn out to be psycho maniacs. examples would be Serbian Film, I stand alone, The Divide, Murder-Set-Pieces, Dogtooth, Benny's Video, Funny Games, Ex Drummer, Bara Prata Lite.

That makes me laugh lol. I think it's something like The Ring, or the grudge you can't do shit about it, that's pretty damn scary.

Kinda agree with Медвежуть; but I'm a fan of Jason's mask (which gave him somewhat an innocent look) & machete.

Lol! I think there's also a 70's Giallo (most probably The Sister of Ursula) where the killer use a dildo! :D

OMG I saw Sister Of Ursula and completely forgot about it-I was watching a lot of 70s Giallos at the time and it just kind of blended in with the crowd. I'll have to watch it again now :)

I think the best scary tool is people talking about religion on the internet.

I enjoy the idea of a seemingly normal person being the one who is just so... evil, sadistic, disturbed, that they would actually perform such horrid actions. I do enjoy them with masks as well. I feel as though a mask can add to the previously mentioned but also work on its own. If done correctly, they can work together to create a powerful scare.

I also find dolls to be rather terrifying; clowns as well. Another "tool" that I find to be rather remarkable is the generally "fucked up". A mass of scars, blood, injuries, etc; someone who looks as though they just got done being tortured. Whether they are the undead, a ghost of their appearance just before death, or a still-living being, I feel as though it's effective.

[Dr. Love]

i really enjoy that too. espessially i like that in real life many killers often described by their relatives and friends as quiet and harmless people... and then one day they just snap and start eating faces lol

It's rather entertaining to read about, I must admit. I, myself, have been thought of to do that at some points in my life. >.>

What's even more fun, though, is to write about characters like this. Grasping their personalities and creating a semi-fictional world becomes more entertaining as you move forward with it. Alas... damned laziness and writer's block. Lol.

I just watched Beneath the Darkness, it falls in line with the idea of a supposedly normal person who in the privacy of their own home does horrible or disturbing things.

Dolls, mannequins, ventriloquist dummies, clowns, they also creep me out.

[wizard of gore]

are masks and unpredictable people really tools?it seem its turning from scary tools to scary anything.
