So What Would Be Your Worst TRUE Nightmare...?
 

What would be your worst horror film premise come true?

Dinosaurs, zombies, giant spiders, vampires?

Maybe it was too many viewings of Tarantula as a kid, but I think giant spiders would ping my Oh Shit Meter. I think I could hide from dinosaurs, shoot zombies and manage the garlic/crucifix thing...but something about having the constantly check the trees, roofs, etc. for giant spiders in wait just sounds like more than I'd want to deal with.

Given how fast a 6 foot (or larger) spider would be capable of moving (not to mention how they actually kill things) is truly the stuff of nightmares.

Buried or any other movie where someone gets buried alive without a doubt.

I'm pretty claustrophobic so nothing scares me more then the thought of being buried.

While that certainly ranks right up there, I meant more in terms of things that currently don't actually exist.

How about you specify that next time and save me the trouble. ;)

I thought I had...

"What would be your worst horror film premise come true?

I can see where somebody might misinterpret the title or the first line, but the "dinosaurs, zombies, giant spiders, vampires" should have got them there. In any case, it was just an "idea thread", not anything terribly important.

It won't be going on your permanent record or anything.

Yeah not all horror movies have supernatural stories. Some are about things that could actually happen. If you're saying that by listing those four things automatically people should understand you mean fictional concepts then that would mean that people might also think you're limiting it to those four choices. I'm not saying that's what will happen, just going with your logic there.

There's nothing wrong with explaining exactly what you mean. I don't understand why people always expect everyone to assume what they're talking about. Just say what you mean and then we won't have this problem and if it's just an idea thread and not anything "terribly important" then why say anything back to me?

I could have been more specific but I assumed everyone knew what I meant. Obviously that assumption is my error. To a lesser extent I'm trying not to come across like I think everyone is a idiot and sound like I'm talking down to people, a few have already accused me of that.

Really doesn't matter, you are the only so far to even respond so it isn't worth making too much of a fuss. Again, sorry for not being more specific. And while not important as far as the topic goes, I answered because you raised a valid point and that deserves an answer.

I read it the same way as Villain - And Poe certainly had a similar fear of being buried alive...

Villain - Have you ever played it out in your heard how you'd come to be buried alive? When I was younger I used to keep myself up at night thinking about how my worst fear would become a reality...

In a nutshell, for me it's the Slasher breaking into my home - I used to keep myself up at night as a child thinking what, in my room, I could use to protect myself (it usually came down to my rather heavy boombox - throwing it at them from the top of the stairs).

Even now, at the age of 29, some nights I have this absolutely terrifying certainty that someone is going to break into my apartment and massacre both myself and my boyfriend.

That 's my horror film nightmare come to life - The Human Monster - Slasher - Breaking in and murdering me.

You can discount it because "murders do exist," but when I think of "What would be your worst horror premise come true," that's what I come up with.

I've had nightmares about being buried alive and even woken up still thinking i was and freaked out. Usually it's never scenarios, i'm just always buried. It's usually really vivid and detailed. I can actually feel it when i dream about it. Nothing has ever scared me more.

Horrifying. Have you seen buried yet? Sounds like it's the film for you. ;)

I used to have reoccurring dreams where I'd be in a room that was slowly filling up with water and I would be pressing my lips to the ceiling to suck my last breaths - Seeing similar scenes in movies definitely get to me - I always hold my breath... The idea of slowly suffocating is terrifying.

Yeah Buried scared the hell out of me. It really disturbed me and stuck with me afterwards.

Slowly suffocating is definitely terrifying. I still remember the first time i saw Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, the 1994 live action one (I know weird reference right?) and the one guy gets trapped in the room with the sand. That always freaked me out as a kid and bothered me and that was a disney movie!

Giant vacuums.

Alone in a room with Sam the Egg

I used to worry about such things...not so much these days.

Sounds like you need to upgrade your boombox.

:D

being forced to watch twilight :( all the films in one go :(

Home Movies

Cho: I'm your worst nightmare.

Jason: technically my worst nightmare to date is I'm sitting in a highchair, and I'm breast-feeding my own mother, and she suddenly opens her mouth and I see my father's head.

Worst nightmare:

A situation where my wife is getting assaulted/raped/murdered and I can't do anything about it because I'm impaired somehow.

Truth is, they'd have to kill me because I'd find a way to hinder their progress. But still.

Movies where the wife is split up from the husband by a psycho and he has to find her always strike a nerve with me. I like movies like that, but when the movie is over and I'm laying in bed, I start day dreaming about situations like that and it keeps me up and pisses me off. LOL...

In way of stuff that's not possible... I guess being cornered by 50 zombies with no way out and some dinky weapon like a pocket knife would be pretty gnarly. I mean, you know you're going to die, but you're also going to fight, so it's going to be pretty painful.

any kind of cut that's deeper than the width of the body part that was cut =P *shudders*

Does it have to be fictional? I was watching a documentary the other day about Ed Gein and how he was a major source of inspiration for the character of Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. I'd hate to wake up in Ed Gein's farmhouse knowing that he was going to flay my skin off to make lampshades, leggings and mammory vests and hang my nipples on a chain. :eek:

being burnt alive allways freaks me out when i see it in the movies.

zombies, i'd have to say. there's a feeling or way of thought that we're superior from the get, but there are so many variables that the discussion is unending between my friends and i. i always by default assume they'd be romero zombies, and that scares me more than anything. an aggressive disease carrier that exists for unknown reasons and will stop... when? the fight to survive minute by minute even though you've realized you're fighting a battle you can't win scares me about it most. that and being eaten. sounds pretty painful.
