Help me pick a movie for Natmares!
🕑 Added 2022-10-05 16:30:02 +0000 UTCTitle says it all :)
Also, I know a lot of you folks suggested The Shining. I promise I'm not ignoring you. I've just seen it a few times so it's pretty familiar to me and I'm trying to stick to some new stuff only for this season.

Grigsy
BTW, that was a joke. I did read your comment.
Grigsy
have you reacted to the shining yet?
Quick
If you’ve never seen it, might I suggest adding SHUTTER ISLAND to your watchlist.
Kristine Friling
I just saw watched "Werewolf by Night" on Disney Plus and omg it was good! It was about an hour long and it is a special presentation. I highly recommend a react to this one. I don't request often, but I needed to for this one!
RebRox65
Please THE OMEN Pt.1 Best Scare Ever or Village of the Dammed
Phillip Elbert
Halloween has my vote but that's one of the ones where the sequel is even better than the first so add that if Halloween wins.
Rosanne Stewart
It's not winning the poll, but I really hope you react to the second It movie at some point.
Nimo-the-Red
Have you seen Doctor Sleep? Sequel to The Shining done by Mike Flanagan (who did Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor) and is a fantastic film, really keeps the vibe of the original while simultaneously being true to the source material
RebRox65
Let’s have a laugh with Evil Dead plus it will funny to watch Nat squirm at all the gore, (sorry Nat I love you really) 🙀👍
Richard Maurer
I've seen some low budget horror movies that make HC look like fine art.
Kev Martin
Human Centipede is one of the worst films ever made - and not in a 'so bad it's good' way. Just plain bad.
Kev Martin
I'm keen to check out Hereditary as I haven't seen it. Haven't seen Halloween either (any of the bazillion versions), but I think there's a reason I've never gotten around to it after all these years. All those Jason/Mike Myers/etc flicks just don't do it for me - more likely to fall asleep than be scared. I must be missing the suspension of disbelief gene for that genre I think.
Eric Trinidad
Yeah, I’m definitely joking here for sure. But even watching those, Hereditary still creeps me out. But I’m here to take that journey again.
Richard Maurer
Why not add Cannibal Holocaust while you're at it. And I assume you're joking (you never know what some people will recommend).
Eric Trinidad
Honestly, I’m really nervous for Nat. She’s been a trooper but this one may do it. Next poll to have Human Centipede or Martyrs.
Richard Maurer
I'd Love for someone to react to Obayashi’s House (Hausu) while knowing how unlikely it is, Probably the best bet would be Cinema Rules, as they do some fairly obscure stuff sometimes. They just did Ringu instead of The Ring, unlike every other reactor.
Adam Doyle
If you end up liking Hereditary, please check out the directors' follow-up movie Midsommar. A very beautiful yet tense movie, but gruesome in some parts.
David Sumner
You gotta watch It: Chapter two to finish it off. Also the first Halloween is a classic.
Eric Janssen
I don't know why every review I read of Eraserhead can't seem to make head or tail of what to categorize it as, when Lynch's idea seemed pretty straightforward to me: It's LITERALLY the movie version of that last dream you had after the bad burrito, with the electric blanket on too high. (Or "Why most 'dream sequences' in movies never look like the ones you remember.") If that doesn't sound creepy, think whether you'd want to watch your own during daylight hours... And don't forget to check out Lynch homaging his idea in a memorable first-season episode of "Twin Peaks". And House (or "Hausu", to avoid confusion with the culty overlooked 1986 movie) is probably best summarized as "Horror movie as made by a Japanese TV commercial director"--If you think you know what to expect, you STILL don't know what to expect.

Diego Martinez
Hereditary is great, probably the better of Aster’s films, though I’d need to rewatch both to get a new opinion. Another recommendation similar to Hereditary: Darren Aronofsky’s best film Black Swan kind of reminds me of Ari Aster stylistically and thematically, especially when comparing it to Midsommar as a sort of surreal horrific portrayal of a coming-of-age story, though Black Swan definitely leans into the coming-of-age thing more blatantly. Other horror recs: David Lynch’s Eraserhead, maybe the ultimate modern surrealist film. The story is quite straightforward even though it is told with this extremely abstract imagery, and yet it is such an eerie & uncomfortable film from beginning to end; in what may be David Lynch’s most fully realized film from a world-building aspect. Nobuhiko Obayashi’s House, a cult classic film that takes popular culture in Japan at the time (the 70s) and cranks up the extremity to 11 with its absurd & hilarious storytelling, much of the story & imagery taken in large part from visions & dreams of the director’s 10 year old daughter.
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
You guys are dicks lol, she is gonna hate that movie, you know which one I'm talking about 😆 Is what it is though, and after all, it's just a movie, it's just a movie...
Tarquin Pillay
Hereditary is so good, its a masterpiece of a film.
Joshua Milus
I just voted for Hereditary. What have I done.
Richard Flores
I think I was screaming to myself for two whole minutes when I realized Hereditary was on the list. I think that is the only movie I've seen that was too scary for me to finish watching. I wanted to vote for Halloween (one of my favorite movies ever) but this one, if I'm going to give myself emotional trauma, it might as well be in support of Nat. Hereditary all the way. Let's finish this.
Richard Maurer
Edgy!
Richard Maurer
Scariest of all time is like best movie of all time - just a matter of opinion.
Richard Maurer
So I was correct.
Michael G. Munz
I ain't ready to watch it a second time, either.
Kenzi
please you have to watch. IT chapter 2 it is a good conclusion to the story please!!!
Ken
Get Out feels like an episode of Tales From the Crypt. It's got social commentary, sure, but it's also EC Comics mad scientist stuff. Not necessarily scary, but fun and suspenseful. Haven't seen Mother.
LionBro
A really good scary movie you should watch is Team America: World Police. It's scary...how good it is.
Eric Janssen
Wait, you watched a horror movie to see HORROR? That’s not how Get Out, Midsommar and Mother! were supposed to work….
Ken
I watched Hereditary to be "scared." And it delivered.
JayyDTR
Hereditary is an excellently crafted movie with amazing performances, i'm sure she'll still enjoy many aspects of it despite the horror.
JayyDTR
Pretty sure it will be todays video :)
Olivia Carney
Does anyone know when stranger things will continue? :) I’m so excited for season 3 reaction!
Thomas Richter
Indeed
Letícia
I'm seriously debating it
Ryan
Not even with Nat would I watch this movie again, but I’m looking forward to the thumbnail.
alejandro
we love ash
Letícia
i watched it with ur internet mom ash but it was her edited commentary and it was enough for me to be traumatized
Letícia
oh god i'm gonna have to watch hereditary now
Rey
Fourthed
Philip Davetas
It's not worth it if she doesn't watch the whole franchise. I think ED is for lovers of it all.
Adam Baker
She'll live
Eric Janssen
Halloween is a good example of 20th-cty. horror (particularly from the mess-you-up 70's), from the days when the chief motivation for seeing a horror movie was to be "scared", not "psychologically disturbed, and teased with artistic metaphor".
Philip Davetas
As much as I love the EVIL DEAD movies as a franchise, the first movie is not my favorite. Unless you commit to watching the entire movie and TV franchise, don't bother. But a lot of good ones here. But I have to go with HEREDITARY. But I think everyone here knows it's gonna jack you up nice and good.
Dexter
As excited (and worried) as I am for Natalie to see Hereditary, I feel like it just makes more sense for her to finish the IT series. She's already aware of the characters and plot so it would be a better way to start the spooky season than to just flat out scare the wits out of her. IT Chapter 2 gets my vote
Braulio Loera
Natalie aint ready for hereditary......
Charlie's Illiteracy
Hi Nat, I recommend Triangle starring Melissa George. It's genuinely disturbing while not being a gorefest. It's stayed with me for years. Basically, it's what Hell might really be like. No lakes of fire or Pinhead people, just one sad, disturbed mother forced to confront her own guilt, and trying to erase her terrible mistake, endlessly.
Jules
Thirded
jamie jones
Seconded
Gerald Corona
Hey Nat. If you already saw The Shinning you must watch Doctor Sleep. Based on King's sequel. Staring Ewen McGregor. It's actually a very worthy continuation of the classic!
The Hedge Knight
Love/hate relationship. Love movies, hate horror. I make an exception for horror-comedies.
blkmage
I guess were picking the one that will leave her scared
Adam Baker
Because they are dated and boring films that have been watched and discussed to death for decade after decade.
Adam Baker
She'll be alright. It's a very good film worth experiencing at least once if you truly love horror or movies in general.
Adam Baker
Hell no, those movies are dated and boring af. Hereditary is a popular, modern hit. I'm so glad it's winning! Nat will be okay.
Adam Baker
Dated and boring imo, but I never was a fan of Halloween
Adam Baker
If you've watched any movie ever, including It, you know how It 2 ends. I say that 2+ hours is better spent watching a less forgettable film.
FalcorDragon
I enjoyed them but yeah not earth shattering.
Adam Baker
Evil Dead is dated and boring af. Evil Dead 2 has way more entertainment value.
Adam Baker
First one was alright but all in all both films imo are very forgettable
Marquis keel
Vampires are synonymous wit zombies and mosters and its October 🤷🏽♂️
Adam Baker
She'll live
Travis
L take
SilentBobFather
And it is not available. And this is my problem with polls for reactions people will only vote for what they now, and creator can only react to what people want so they can get views. I understand that is the way it has to be, but there are so many hidden gems that will never be reacted to.
Brian Jones
Actually a really great call, but sadly that won't be making it on to any polls. Not that it would win even if it did.
Richard Maurer
Because they have no sense of history?
Richard Maurer
We agree to disagree.
Byron
These people are sadistic monsters.
calum1
Look at the reviews, most people agree that its not good
Alan Felicia
Gonna vote for Hereditary - Halloween OG is scary good but Hereditary gets the nod for Me since I haven't seen b/c I've read it on Wikipedia And, IMO, its a messed-up, Scary, Good movie! LOL! And with Nat's reaction, gonna be F'N Epic!
Fostena
It's the improved version! :)
FalcorDragon
Again, I say, watch IT part 2 (pretty pleeeeeeease) cause I'm waiting to watch part 1 till I know you watched both. Hehe.
Thomas Richter
Evil Dead!
Myles Away
So glad to see Hereditary is winning.
Mastervodo
Evil Dead because she knows and likes Sam Rami. Let's not traumatize Top Nugget with Hereditary, ya? But also - do Evil Dead 2. It's just flat out better in every way.
Ryan
That’s what makes it interesting
Thomas Yanez
It's disturbing, sure... but scariest of all time?
Thomas Yanez
As horror?
Thomas Yanez
Also clicked for the same reason.
Philippe Dessaints
I watch movies all the time and hereditary kinded fucked even me up. Can't imagine Nat getting through this one intact lol
Anonymous Groucho
I think it's the remake since she put "(original)" next to Halloween. Then again she may not be aware there was an Evil Dead remake. I just wish there was a "II" next to it.
Joseph
Really want you to react to Bodies Bodies Bodies
Brian Jones
Hereditary, hands down. Just based on performances alone. Toni Collette should have won an Oscar for that performance.
Randee Carreno
IT: Chapter 2 immediately got my vote. I'm really hoping that she'll watch it at some point. I really like that movie.
jamie jones
Just watch them all, that would be a great natmares
Steve J
Yup, Evil Dead 2 they pretty much rebooted/remade their own movie
Jacketb
Happy Birthday!!!
Dan
Please add Arachnaphobia to a scary movie poll! It's a fantastic creepy crawly movie with great scares and great writing!
Nathaniel Castle
I don’t think evil dead is gonna win but I think it would be a fantastic film to react to
Andrew Zachman
If you watch Evil Dead, watch the second one instead, first is basically a class project movie. Second one is the same director, same main character and same premise but with a better budget and production values. Not that the first one is bad, it isn't. It is actually very good, but I think you would enjoy the second more. Just my opinion, I'm sure others will disagree. Ps Hereditary is not scary in the classic sense, it is disturbing. I don't think you will like it. Again just my opinion.
Jorge
Hereditary. L F G
Rey
So pumped hereditary is in the lead
Ernesto
This is a good list of movies and I'm hoping for Halloween gets a view as that's my all time favorite
Danishprince
It's a scary one but that's about all it has
Edgar
Lol, clearly
calum1
Why are people voting for hereditary its such an average movie
Johan Sånesson
It's a seriously great movie. But it is a tough watch
Ben Wheeler
I voted for IT mainly to complete that storyline. Otherwise it’s OG Halloween for me.
Daniel Andersen
Oh guess A Quiet Place 2 will have to wait for next year
Peter Jones
I haven’t seen hereditary, but I might watch it if it wins. It is currently the official scariest movie of all time. According to several polls and some scientific data.
Danishprince
Why do the Patreons hate classic horrors :(
Paul G
I take it you mean the 1981 original Evil Dead, not the remake.
The Hedge Knight
I fear for Natalie. I have no interest in seeing Hereditary, on board for any of the others.
Andy Bates
Evil Dead is definitely more horror and the second one is more comedy. But Raimi’s directorial skills are much better in the second one, and I think it’s a better movie overall.
Troy
All great choices! Picked Hereditary. Well written, tremendous production, insane acting abilities by the entire cast. Yeah, it is disturbing, but it is also a masterpiece of storytelling. Dark and disturbing storytelling sure, but a masterpiece nonetheless.
KhaimeraTech
There’s no way hereditary loses this
tezster
Finally, Hereditary is winning a poll 🙂
Steven Merced
Hereditary is not a great watch. It’s disturbing and She will not enjoy any bit of it. It would be a lot more of a fun reaction for Natalie to do Halloween or Evil Dead.
Rory cornetto
Which evil dead?
Kyle Fletcher
All of these are good but Evil Dead, for me anyways, is the most entertaining and I think she'd get a kick out of it
Richard Maurer
It was down to Halloween and Hereditary for me. In the end I went with Halloween, because it's the iconic movie for the season.
Walter Lopez
Anyone who is even remotely interested in watching Horror movies, they have to watch Hereditary. It will be very traumatizing. I apologize in advance.
Jules 4 Fools
Looks like Hereditary is winning in the polls. Natalie better be prepared. When I watched this I had the jitters for weeks.
Marquis keel
BLADE PLS😭😭😭😭
Matthew Jaszyn
Killer Klowns From Outer Space!!!
Richard Maurer
Disagree. The first Evil Dead is a better straight up horror movie than ED2. Now if you said Evil Dead 2 is a better comedy horror I'd agree with you.
Casey Walker
Voted for hereditary because it’ll make for a fantastic reaction (movie also slaps), but I’d love to see you watch Evil Dead as well.
SilentBobFather
Red State by Kevin Smith. (Not political) best horror/ thriller you haven't heard of.
Randee Carreno
Happy Wednesday & Happy Birthday, Natalie! 😊 Giving it another try for "IT: Chapter 2". LOL! Again if you don't get to that one during your Natmares, I hope that you will get to it eventually since you watched the other one already. Off to watch your new "Jessica Jones" reaction. 👍 Have a great day today! 😊 Stay Golden! 💛
Daniel McGuinness
HAAAAS to be the original Halloween!! The lasting impact it had and still has on horror today is perfect! Hereditary is good but cmon 😭
Patrick Egan
Definitely the original Halloween. It remains one of my favorite of the genre. Most of the pre-2018 sequels suck, but this current trilogy of sequels from Blumhouse has been very entertaining.
BigHeadWeb
You will NOT be okay if you watch Hereditary. *clicks ‘Hereditary’*
FateMalone
True but would prob have to wait till next year to get it most likely
Michael G. Munz
Skip Evil Dead and go straight to Evil Dead 2. It's more fun. Then see the original if curious.
Patrick Egan
She's gotta see the original first, though.
Fostena
This one was tough. In the end I picked Hereditary because is the best movie of them all. Although Evil Dead and Halloween are such classics I kinda wanted to rewatch them. It Chapter 2 is skippable, Nat. Chapter 1 was great and it had all the good scenes
Andrew Zachman
You really need to watch a good werewolf movie. I would recommend either American Werewolf in London or Dog Soldiers!
LaynaVile
That's exactly what I'm thinking!
Chief
Event Horizon - I hope that makes an appearance! It has held up over time, and such a cool concept.
Lucky Dragon
It: Chapter 2 is never gonna win, because it has a reputation for being bad, but I just want Nat to finish the story 😭 It’s been a year
Lawson
never seen hereditary but i’ve heard amazing things :)
Vincent Valentin
Evil Dead remake over the original.
Dominik
I would love to watch Hereditary as I haven’t seen it myself and that way it won’t be as scary
Andy Bates
Natalie, I don’t know if you’re accepting write-ins, but Evil Dead 2 is far superior to the original. It’s basically a remake and a sequel all in one!
Mike Kraft
Please let Hereditary win A Quite Plce 2 was horrendous
Danishprince
Season of the classics!
ISeeTrees ofGreen
OG halloween is a staple of spooky season you have to watch it
FateMalone
Wish it was halloween 2018
Darryl Low
Third time lucky for Halloween 🤞🎃
