Just to clear up: in Martyrs the group isn't trying to push the body to ultimate euphoria or something. They're trying to literally make a martyr (ie horribly punishing and killing someone who did nothing wrong) but keep them just barely alive so they can come back and tell the group what's on the "other side" in the after life.

It's a misanthropic fetish, seeing noisy humans stitched mouth-to-ass in a revenge fantasy scenario that's obviously very unreal. I can easily see what Tom Six was trying to achieve with his franchise, and found the overall humor appropriate.
“Freaks” was one of the inspirations for the 4th season of American Horror Story: Freak Show. The human duck concept was adapted to the fate of one character in AHS
I actually first heard about this movie like over 10 years ago when I watched something around Halloween that counted the Scariest Movie Moments and this movie made the list. They did show the 'duck scene' and my poor mind couldn't comprehend what happened lol.
The movie was also referenced in The Wolf of Wall Street during the business meeting (for lack of a better term) where the characters discuss dwarf-tossing and they break out into the "ONE OF US!" chant from Freaks. Inappropriate, offensive and hilarious!
In the original cut they showed the Freaks castrated Hercules as well but that had too many folks clutching their pearls in the 1930's so they scrapped the scene.
Except in human centipede 2 she doesnt run over her baby...she delivers it straight into the floor board where it slides right behind the gas pedal and she gives zero sh*ts trying to escape. She squashed him between the floor board and pedal, not run over.
That scene was brutal. I watched this with my boyfriend at the time as part of a movie marathon night at home. We saw the first one in theatres and liked it. The plan was to watch movies, enjoy pizza and beer then have some naked fun later 😉. After that scene in the movie the bf was out. We had planned on heading upstairs when it was over but he piped up with "I love you but right now I couldn't have sex if my life depended on it - can we watch a comedy before we head up?". I laughed, told him no problem then he looked at how unbothered I was relative to his obvious shock (it was messed up for sure and I don't need to see it twice - I'm just a horror fan and most stuff doesn't bother me) and said "if I didn't know you as well as I do, I'd be afraid to sleep next to you at night" 😂😋.
Thank you! I was already wondering if it was just me misremembering things (though I was pretty sure I wasn't). The whole point of Martyrs was indeed finding someone who through pain was placed in such a position that they could look beyond the veil and see what lies beyond... Something apparently so disturbing for the human mind that one can't live with the information.
The Asylum’s 2007 “loose remake” of Freaks, titled Freakshow, has arguably an even worse fate. Lucy, the film’s equivalent of Cleopatra, is at the Freaks’ mercy as they cut out her tongue, sew her mouth shut, amputate her arms and legs, and _skin her alive_ before they put her on display in the Freak Show under the name “Worm Girl”.
I didn’t know they did a remake. The original movie was widely banned for decades due it controversial plot and use of actors with real physical abnormalities/ sideshow performers was dubbed as very extreme for movies at the time.
@@NegaEliz1991 it was so dumb I watched it on tubi one Sunday afternoon. The acting was atrocious. The dialogue was atrocious. And the “worm girl” ending was beyond ridiculous. Somehow a person can go days without skin.
My mom got Slither on DVD randomly one day when I was in high school and we still quote that movie to this day. That movie is so hilarious, has a decent plot, and has SO many recognizable actors.
The original script for *_Freaks_* also featured a "fate worse than death" for Hercules as well. While his lover is turned into a repulsive "human duck" at the freak show, Hercules winds up in a new career as well...singing soprano. [No, castration doesn't actually work that way, but it's still effective as a horror gimmick that few modern directors are willing to make use of.]
Horror creators are so eager to put out women being SA'd, murdered and brutually tortured for an entire runtime but heaven forbid we get some soprano action lol
The Human Centipede one is kind of misleading. I hadn't seen the film so I was horribly confused as to how someone could have run over their baby if they had it inside the car. Apparently it was that she smooshed it's lil baby noggin when she stepped on the accelerator. You might wanna reconsider the wording because it's definitely a bit confusing.
I keep watching these Body Horror lists waiting for you guys to talk about _Clown_ (2016) in which the main character dons a cursed clown suit and it *physically bonds to him,* as well as turning him into a child-eating killer! I guess I'll have to keep waiting...
Yeah that was pretty bad. Trying to remove the nose and pulling as hard as he could to remove the costume were pretty hard watch. I think I remember he even tried a scissors at one point.
The 1989 horror film "Leviathan". What makes it the most horrible horror body fate is that just like "The Thing", the crew are assimilated by the creature. What really makes it stand out is that the faces of the crew can be seen on different parts of the creatures body as well as the fact that the crew are still alive and completely aware of what's happening. At the end of the movie, Beck sees Tony's face on the creature and Tony begs Beck to kill him.
I have to agree, lots of very graphic body horror scenes It ironically went through what thing movie did it was competing with abyss and audiences wanted to see positive and good guy sea creatures at that point and bombed at the box office Plus critics trashed it and it never got the cult following the thing did
The motive for the underground society in Martyrs wasn't to discover or capture euphoria. It was to torture women to the brink of death so they would cross into the afterlife while remaining alive in the real world. They wanted to know what happens when we die.
A friend of mines son was the little boy in “ Colour out of space “ , the kid is one helluva an actor. He’s also on HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE among other things.
Glad Freaks made it on here, it's a really fascinating movie. It shows its age in a lot of places, and yet it was decades ahead of its time in many others. Part of why it was so panned when it first came out was because it had the audacity to have sideshow performers - people with physical abnormalities, intersex people, even just little people - on screen in the first place, let alone in a sympathetic light. It was reviled because audiences were just like the villains. I'd like to see some more recognition for animated features here. While I wouldn't call these ones horror movie per se, I'd say Akira and the Made in Abyss movies deserve special mention. Akira's transformation scene is infamous for a reason, and the Made in Abyss series has some of the most horrific and heartbreaking body horror I've ever seen. Hell, the third movie, Dawn of the Deep Soul, _starts_ with our heroes finding some poor soul who's been rendered helpless and immobile and turned into a living hive by a swarm of insects, and that's not even close to the most gruesome part. The whole series is basically Oops! All Fates Worse Than Death.
A lost cut scene from the ending of Freaks shows Hercules as a mutilated castrato performing for the carnival audience. So... there's that. Have a nice day, everybody!
10. The Fly II 9. Slither 8. Tokyo Gore Police 7. Cabin Fever 6. The Thing 5. Color Out of Space 4. The Human Centipede 2 3. Terrifier 2. Martyrs 1. Freaks
Color out of space has the saddest body horror scenes ever Just a mom and son who were curious who merged painfully and lose their humanity and the husband had to kill her and his son
Cabin Fever (original) was absolutely scary, the thoughts of skin peeling off, feeling and looking at it as it happens is really fuckin terrifying for me. If I had that virus, I'd prefer death than be in agony and pain. Human centipede movies are disgusting, who thought it was a great idea to have a person's mouth sewn to another person's asshole and shit into their mouth. The director has sick fantasies. Also Tusk should be on this list, cause I felt sorry for that poor bastard.
Right when i hear body horror worse than death its the first thing that springs to mind he was drugged paralysed and horribly mutilated and then forced to live as a flesh bag of a "walrus"
Apparently the original author of cabin fever got the idea from an actual virus he got whilst working as a farm hand, it didn't hurt and it was no where near as severe as the movie/book especially with today's treatments
BTW Terrifier: The Main woman wasn't disfigured. She ended up dying but when her sister came to get her, she's the one that the beginning of the movie shows as disfigured because the police found her still to be alive. Not the woman that's being chased through the first half of the movie that watches her friend being sawn in half.
In Human Centipede 2, she doesn’t “run over” the baby… don’t sugar coat it for people who haven’t see it because if they haven’t seen it by now, they’re not going to
100%! This is such a classic! The 2007 "remake" Freakshow, nowhere near as good but the last 10 minutes where they pull no punches on how the girl becomes a freak.... Worth a watch.

@@ashh4929 A fantastic film ruined by the filmmakers' descent into alt-right assholery. They hooked up with an Evangelical fuckstick for the financing of Rabid, and slid so far down that rabbit hole that they alienated much of their old fanbase and turned on many of their friends. The whole affair turned so publicly toxic that the Twins are now essentially radioactive. Apparently, Rabid wasn't a good film, either, which didn't help. The Twisted Twins came out of the gate really strong (Dead Hooker in a Trunk and American Mary), but appear - for the moment, anyway - to have stalled out both creatively and personally, Which is damned sad. For a time, I thought the world of them.
Reminds me of a cartoon special as a kid. I wish it had become a series, I so would have watched it, but it was an 1 episode special called Poochie, a pink and white dog that helps kids, especially ones in danger. Well in that episode she and her helper go to Egypt when they get a distress letter from a boy who's archeologist father had vanished. At one point they end up finding a hidden ancient Egyptian city and the boy, his father, and the helper get kidnapped and are to be punished by sacrifice by being made mummies and basically buried alive in a tomb. Even my 7 year old self was horrified by that prospect. Luckily Poochie saves the day before they can get placed in the tomb, even though they did get wrapped up as mummies. Also the idea that sacrifices have taken place before this, scared me as a kid too lol.

I've loved Freaks since I was a kid. I appreciated that they used actual disabled people to play the parts, and that they are seen as the good guys and the "normies" are the bad ones and get their comeuppance in the end at the hands of those who were wronged. I eventually became disabled myself and it has made me love it even more now
Right and her being turned into a duck was so shocking back then it was banned in some theaters definitely is the inspiration of later body horror films
That's because the CZcams overlords will screw them out of the revenue they rightfully bring in from our views and likes if they do.

@@MissBoxxx they "LURVE" money. The bigotry is just a side effect of that. A rather apt mirror for America, really. We're all good with something horrific happening to someone, as long as it isn't us or someone we know. If you don't believe me, let me ask you this... Do you think that your health being a _commodity_ to be sold back to you might have made the COVID outbreaks worse? Granted the overall handling of it could be mentioned as well, including that there were so many willing to believe whatever a certain squeezebox playing politician said. "This'll be gone by May, when it warms up. You'll see!" Yeah, how many dead now? I can only think that things could have been MUCH different if we truly gave a shit about our fellow human. Cheers, folks, and I hope you stay safe and healthy.
The Thing doesn't mix you and it, that's not how the replication process works. I hear that so often and it's like nobody watched the movie where they explained how the assimilation works. They even tell you in the movie, the person is long dead when it assimilates them and what ends up happening is it devours them first before becoming a duplicate. The person isn't alive when the process is finished, they are just put into an organic copier.
I think it’s pretty clear you’re killed but not sure of the exact process. I felt it was like the thing absorbs you and replicates you’re structure. But yes there’s nothing actually left of the real you. I used to spend too long trying to work out if the thing actually replicated so well that it had a consciousness and potentially not actually realise it was a thing (as it functions on a cellular level). You could be a thing and not even know it until it reacted in self defence and you turned into a squidgy, squelchy thing and squidged off.
In "The Thing", I always assume that the creature was mimicking the victims, and that the victims actually died. Here it's more or less implying that the victims are somehow still alive and being controlled by the creature, which wasn't my impression at all.
The remake/prequel shows this aspect of it better. Essentially the alien absorbs their body in a way, accumulating biomass as well as being able to mimic people when it's small enough, and also seems to work similar to a virus as well, able to infect multiple people.
Pretty sure Martyrs was them trying to bring a person to the closest point of death to confirm what the afterlife actually is. Once they bring her literally as close as possible and she tells them there is nothing, they all off themselves
She doesn't run over her baby...she stomps it's head. I will never forget watching that scene for the first time....right next to my hugely pregnant friend....
In the movie it happened off screen when i looked up the transcript of the original movie. The comic from the 90's i well... much more graphic on the assault
The cult from Martyrs should have just made it their life goal to find the Lament Configuration and explore their deepest desires of pain and pleasure. A certain prick-head would have had such sights to show them.
That's only because this video is dead wrong about what the cult wants. Finding the crossing line between pleasure and pain is indeed Cenobite territory but this cult didn't want to explore the human boundaries of pleasure and pain, they believed that there is a certain point where pain and humilitation becomes so severe (and if they actually survive to that point) one can become a martyr and sees what's one the other side, what happens to humans after death... (If they die before that point, they are just victims).
When it comes to any conclusion to a Lovecraft story, this meme said it all, "And they all lived happily ever... Nah, just kidding. They either died horribly or when completely insane. The end."
Itchy the killer should've been added. That movie was brutal and the guy that plays Raiden in the recent mortal Komat film was an scary a** Villan. He made me believe his character.
Didn't know james gun directed slither till today. The dude managed to make something so horrifying to funny whilst not deriving any of the horror aspect. Absolute legend in my books
My dad and I hated martyrs, we were expecting her to get out and kill all of those sadists in a blaze of glory but it just didn't happen.. it was such a kick in the guts
You've honestly got to appreciate the actors in The Human Centipede films, I mean seriously WOW. Plus Terrifier honestly SERIOUSLY SCARES me everytime. And I'm a Horror veteran. It honestly Scares HELL out me & Clown NEVER talks which somehow makes it worse & Maryrs is just SO Incredible & Horrific in just massive way. These movies actually go beyound my barrier
I'm kind of surprised the chick from the last segment of All hallows eve isn't on here. Art the clown cemented his name in cinema gore with that one. It's a more twisted gritty version of Boxing Helena. Way worse than death. 💀
@@cutenpurdy lol me too! That's how I stumbled into the total bizarre but kinda fun trip that was Gothic. I still love me some Julian Sands. I even found a love for the Misfits after hearing their song based on Boxing Helena. 😁
I don’t like calling Terrifier a horror movie, I hope people can see what I’m saying with this. I’ve seen all the terrifier movies and it’s literally just torture porn, yeah some men are killed but not as much as the women and some of the ways the women are killed it’s literally torture porn
Yes! There was a 2007 "remake" Freak show, it wasn't anywhere near as entertaining as Todd Browning's film but the last 10 minutes, it scratches the gore itch if you want to see just how exactly she got turned into a "freak."
Did the script writer watch Martyrs or The Thing? In Martyrs, the cult was making young women suffer to the point of breaking in the hopes that they would become martyrs (hence the name of the film), and see what lay on the other side of death. With The Thing, the creature first killed, then took the form of its victims.
I accidentally found the movie Slither when trying to find a scene of a movie or show I accidentally saw as a kid (and it haunted me), it was an interesting find but I still didn't find that show...
You have the plot wrong for Martyrs. The cult is not trying to push someone from pain to pleasure. They are trying to find out if there is anything beyond death.
Half of these are just “something fucked up happened to them but they managed to survive” lol I think we all came here for the ones where they pray for death
Okay, all I know of Tokyo Gore Police prior to this is a group of my friends going "ah, no, dude, ack" and something about a chair mutant and something about piss. Its not that it's horror but whatever the hell that was about that keeps me from checking it out. So random to see it on a list by you guys. I on the other hand enjoyed a viewing of Robo Geisha and Machine Girl earlier that fine Halloween night. But yeah, something about TGP description and half the group freaking out over it I just passed.
Why were these horror scenes blocked out? It is about horror, so no need to play safe for children I bet, as theyte not supposed to watch this in the first place.
Slither is awesome, it's a MUST rewatch every time it comes on the telly. John Carpenters The Thing is a masterpeace. That film scared me silly when I was young, and it still creaps me out now.
4:29....The Thing...one of the best sci fi horrors ever made ....i first saw this film in 1985 aged 12 and it petrified me ...i had to sleep with my bedroom light on for weeks after it ..awesome movie even by todays standards
I knew I was going to see human centipede for sure. The worst part is in 2 the baby doesn't get run over, it get squished between the pedal and floor of the car
There's also an error about Slither, Grant and Brenda weren't ex's, she was the kid sister in town, always wanting Grant. Whole scene about it and everything.
This is like, the second video this channels posted where they got the human centipede 2 thing wrong. It slid under the gas pedal and she stomped it. Sorta hard for the baby to get out of the car and lay under the wheel. It's not really a fate worse than death? Duct tape was used duct tape and staples instead of the heavy surgery from the first movie. There's a potential of recovery, on top of that, she escaped, she's alive, she can have another baby. Lindsay in the first sequence has it MUCH worse. Literally sewn to her deceased best friend, and the deceased Katsuro. Even if help does come, she's unlikely to ever fully physically recover. I don't see how the second movie keeps getting placed here??
Just to clear up: in Martyrs the group isn't trying to push the body to ultimate euphoria or something. They're trying to literally make a martyr (ie horribly punishing and killing someone who did nothing wrong) but keep them just barely alive so they can come back and tell the group what's on the "other side" in the after life.
Came here from another platform specifically to point this out. Not sure where the euphoria thing came from at all...

@@coreycasciano3255 I honestly don't think there's anything lowkey about it. It's a comedy horror, through and through.
🙌🏼 Agreed. I love everyone in it.
A lost cut scene from the ending of Freaks shows Hercules as a mutilated castrato performing for the carnival audience. So... there's that. Have a nice day, everybody!
@@Anonymousdeletedaccount... The footage is lost. So unless there is some unexpected discovery, it's gone and presumed to no longer exist.
Cool to know thanks!

Fun fact: the thing is a minecraft creepypasta
I made a story out of it.
Color out of space has the saddest body horror scenes ever
Just a mom and son who were curious who merged painfully and lose their humanity and the husband had to kill her and his son
Thank you for making this list.
Cabin Fever (original) was absolutely scary, the thoughts of skin peeling off, feeling and looking at it as it happens is really fuckin terrifying for me. If I had that virus, I'd prefer death than be in agony and pain.
Human centipede movies are disgusting, who thought it was a great idea to have a person's mouth sewn to another person's asshole and shit into their mouth. The director has sick fantasies.
Also Tusk should be on this list, cause I felt sorry for that poor bastard.
Right when i hear body horror worse than death its the first thing that springs to mind he was drugged paralysed and horribly mutilated and then forced to live as a flesh bag of a "walrus"
@@tiny631 Tusk was on the first list of body horror fates worse then death.
I think it is on the first list.
Apparently the original author of cabin fever got the idea from an actual virus he got whilst working as a farm hand, it didn't hurt and it was no where near as severe as the movie/book especially with today's treatments
@@black_wyrm_huntr5877 that was Eli Roth the director of the movie that caught the virus.
BTW Terrifier: The Main woman wasn't disfigured. She ended up dying but when her sister came to get her, she's the one that the beginning of the movie shows as disfigured because the police found her still to be alive.
Not the woman that's being chased through the first half of the movie that watches her friend being sawn in half.
In Human Centipede 2, she doesn’t “run over” the baby… don’t sugar coat it for people who haven’t see it because if they haven’t seen it by now, they’re not going to
Some people just don't know great cinema
@@acurseofconstantobstacle5603 you sound like my dad bangin' on about the Sharknado franchise 😅
Question… how does the baby go from being birthed in the car to being run over? Think I need to watch this 😂🥴
@@mrsandman2185 😂😅😂
Spoiler alert the baby gets it's head squashed under the pedal when the woman escapes in the car.
So happy to see "Freaks" being mentioned. Absolutely one of my favorites.
100%! This is such a classic! The 2007 "remake" Freakshow, nowhere near as good but the last 10 minutes where they pull no punches on how the girl becomes a freak.... Worth a watch.
I think it’s amusing that she married the dwarf for his money. I didn’t know sideshow freaks were swimming in cash…
@@maggiekarabel123 if I remember correctly; which I may not, (I haven't seen the movie in years because my copy of it was on a VHS tape recordered off of TCM when Penn Gillett was hosting) his family was very wealthy and cleopatra wanted his inheritance.
@@ashh4929 I saw that one. I don't personally recommend it. Maybe if you fast forward to the end?🤷♀️
@@elizabethgrogan8377 yeah that's what I was getting at, the last ten minutes are the only bit worth watching just for the gore money shot. Lol
We need a filler spot on our list...
Whatculture- "How about the Thing?"
American Mary: Being turned into a practice dummy for extreme body modification. Dr. Grant earned that gruesome fate, but it's still pretty fucking horrible.
Right? I don't hear enough about this movie, it was awesomely twisted!
@@ashh4929 A fantastic film ruined by the filmmakers' descent into alt-right assholery. They hooked up with an Evangelical fuckstick for the financing of Rabid, and slid so far down that rabbit hole that they alienated much of their old fanbase and turned on many of their friends. The whole affair turned so publicly toxic that the Twins are now essentially radioactive. Apparently, Rabid wasn't a good film, either, which didn't help. The Twisted Twins came out of the gate really strong (Dead Hooker in a Trunk and American Mary), but appear - for the moment, anyway - to have stalled out both creatively and personally, Which is damned sad. For a time, I thought the world of them.
Reminds me of a cartoon special as a kid. I wish it had become a series, I so would have watched it, but it was an 1 episode special called Poochie, a pink and white dog that helps kids, especially ones in danger. Well in that episode she and her helper go to Egypt when they get a distress letter from a boy who's archeologist father had vanished. At one point they end up finding a hidden ancient Egyptian city and the boy, his father, and the helper get kidnapped and are to be punished by sacrifice by being made mummies and basically buried alive in a tomb. Even my 7 year old self was horrified by that prospect. Luckily Poochie saves the day before they can get placed in the tomb, even though they did get wrapped up as mummies. Also the idea that sacrifices have taken place before this, scared me as a kid too lol.
@@satyrosphilbrucato9140 holy shit seriously??
@@tony_starch The person referred to in the third linked article is an old friend of mine IRL. I saw firsthand what the Soskas' attack did to her. I used to be a fan, but they're scorched earth to me now.
Lawnmower Man. One of the leaders of the Shop was caught in an external loop where the top part of his body gets his atoms scattered and then reformed.
Black Mirror episode Museum Of Crime. The owner of the museum gets trapped into the body of an executed inmate the moment the electricity gets turned on, feeling the pain of it for eternity.
The Thing is a CLASSIC! Period. Not a "cult" classic. Ask Jules, he can probably explain its brilliance better than I.
The Thing is just okay. All the great practical effects in the world, can't save the movie from shitty writing.
It was a Box Office flop that gained popularity later. The definition of a cult classic
Indeed.
Agreed! My favorite movie of all time!
I've loved Freaks since I was a kid. I appreciated that they used actual disabled people to play the parts, and that they are seen as the good guys and the "normies" are the bad ones and get their comeuppance in the end at the hands of those who were wronged. I eventually became disabled myself and it has made me love it even more now
Right and her being turned into a duck was so shocking back then it was banned in some theaters definitely is the inspiration of later body horror films
Love a horror channel that can barely show any of the gruesome scenes they talk about.
That's because the CZcams overlords will screw them out of the revenue they rightfully bring in from our views and likes if they do.
CZcams will monetize white supremacists spouting thinly veiled hate speech, but heaven forbid heavy profanity or gore show up. This bullshit is why some channels like Dead Meat, get sponsors.
The Orwellian censors just LURVE bigotry, but creativity is expressly prohibited.
@@MissBoxxx they "LURVE" money. The bigotry is just a side effect of that. A rather apt mirror for America, really.
We're all good with something horrific happening to someone, as long as it isn't us or someone we know. If you don't believe me, let me ask you this...
Do you think that your health being a _commodity_ to be sold back to you might have made the COVID outbreaks worse? Granted the overall handling of it could be mentioned as well, including that there were so many willing to believe whatever a certain squeezebox playing politician said. "This'll be gone by May, when it warms up. You'll see!"
Yeah, how many dead now?
I can only think that things could have been MUCH different if we truly gave a shit about our fellow human.
Cheers, folks, and I hope you stay safe and healthy.
@@AsmodeusMictian honestly I agree with you. Social media platforms are too greedy to care. It's just sickening.
OH MY GOD! JAMES GUNN DIRECTED SLITHER?! I NEVER KNEW THAT O_O!!!!!!
Brenda isn't Grant's ex lover. She's the little sister of his ex girlfriend who has had a huge childhood crush on him since she was a kid.
To be fair, Bartok got EXACTLY what he deserved in The Fly II. I've never felt justice more properly served.
The Thing doesn't mix you and it, that's not how the replication process works. I hear that so often and it's like nobody watched the movie where they explained how the assimilation works. They even tell you in the movie, the person is long dead when it assimilates them and what ends up happening is it devours them first before becoming a duplicate.
The person isn't alive when the process is finished, they are just put into an organic copier.
It assimilates its victims at a cellular level while it’s alive.
I think it’s pretty clear you’re killed but not sure of the exact process. I felt it was like the thing absorbs you and replicates you’re structure. But yes there’s nothing actually left of the real you.
I used to spend too long trying to work out if the thing actually replicated so well that it had a consciousness and potentially not actually realise it was a thing (as it functions on a cellular level). You could be a thing and not even know it until it reacted in self defence and you turned into a squidgy, squelchy thing and squidged off.
@@jekw23 It literally digests you and replicates you. There is nothing left of you. The movie tells you this explicitly.
@@richardfitzwell4618 that’s what I said. What do you think of the whole consciousness being replicated though….that one is a bit of a mind-bender!!!!
I didn't know Cabin Fever had got a remake.
What about American Mary? That's a good one.
that whole movie is body horror, I think a part 3 should be made
Right! This movie needs to be talked about more! 🤘
In "The Thing", I always assume that the creature was mimicking the victims, and that the victims actually died. Here it's more or less implying that the victims are somehow still alive and being controlled by the creature, which wasn't my impression at all.
The remake/prequel shows this aspect of it better. Essentially the alien absorbs their body in a way, accumulating biomass as well as being able to mimic people when it's small enough, and also seems to work similar to a virus as well, able to infect multiple people.
I think your assumption was right. For the thing to completely assimilate, it needs to devour it's host first.
Fun fact about Half Boy in Freaks: he's from my hometown. His name is Johnny Eck.
He was so talented, he could move around on his hands while also accomplashing his daily tasks such as cooking etc.
Pretty sure Martyrs was them trying to bring a person to the closest point of death to confirm what the afterlife actually is. Once they bring her literally as close as possible and she tells them there is nothing, they all off themselves
Rotting alive and being unable to do anything about it - Thanatomorphose (2012)
So basically Leprosy before a cure was found？
@@songyani3992 worse than that XD LOL but maybe, maybe XDD
@@songyani3992 the physical manifestation of untreated depression
the fact that my cousin gets his head cut off in Terrifier makes it worse for me to watch
Really?
She doesn't run over her baby...she stomps it's head.
I will never forget watching that scene for the first time....right next to my hugely pregnant friend....
Apparently in freaks there was another ending that was too brutal to show. Something about the freaks literally tearing cleopatra to pieces
I know she's a bitch but that... That is just fucked
In the movie it happened off screen when i looked up the transcript of the original movie. The comic from the 90's i well... much more graphic on the assault
Color out of space was pretty awesome.
The cult from Martyrs should have just made it their life goal to find the Lament Configuration and explore their deepest desires of pain and pleasure. A certain prick-head would have had such sights to show them.
That's only because this video is dead wrong about what the cult wants. Finding the crossing line between pleasure and pain is indeed Cenobite territory but this cult didn't want to explore the human boundaries of pleasure and pain, they believed that there is a certain point where pain and humilitation becomes so severe (and if they actually survive to that point) one can become a martyr and sees what's one the other side, what happens to humans after death... (If they die before that point, they are just victims).
When it comes to any conclusion to a Lovecraft story, this meme said it all,
"And they all lived happily ever... Nah, just kidding. They either died horribly or when completely insane. The end."
Tokyo Gore Police and Terrifier are two films that sicken me to my core. The ending of Martyrs is messed up!
"Johnny Got His Gun" is fucked up on a whole another level too.
Slither is SO underrated. I'm happy to see it on this list!
Itchy the killer should've been added. That movie was brutal and the guy that plays Raiden in the recent mortal Komat film was an scary a** Villan. He made me believe his character.
Wonder what terrifier 2 will bring for the body horror
It’s weird seeing them blur out the gruesome stuff unlike before lol
Didn't know james gun directed slither till today. The dude managed to make something so horrifying to funny whilst not deriving any of the horror aspect. Absolute legend in my books
My dad and I hated martyrs, we were expecting her to get out and kill all of those sadists in a blaze of glory but it just didn't happen.. it was such a kick in the guts
Of course you didn't notice The Thing when you made the first list, the whole point is that it hides in plain sight.
You've honestly got to appreciate the actors in The Human Centipede films, I mean seriously WOW. Plus Terrifier honestly SERIOUSLY SCARES me everytime. And I'm a Horror veteran. It honestly Scares HELL out me & Clown NEVER talks which somehow makes it worse & Maryrs is just SO Incredible & Horrific in just massive way. These movies actually go beyound my barrier
A video about "body horror" and literally EVERYTHING is blurred out ...
...even some scenes that were shown before on this channel 😒
Seriously, what is the point?
I'm kind of surprised the chick from the last segment of All hallows eve isn't on here. Art the clown cemented his name in cinema gore with that one. It's a more twisted gritty version of Boxing Helena. Way worse than death. 💀
Aha-another person who has seen Boxing Helena!
@@cutenpurdy Yes! 🤘😁
@@ashh4929 I used to follow everything that Julian Sands did so I have been aware of this hidden gem for some time.
@@cutenpurdy lol me too! That's how I stumbled into the total bizarre but kinda fun trip that was Gothic. I still love me some Julian Sands. I even found a love for the Misfits after hearing their song based on Boxing Helena. 😁
@@ashh4929 Wait...there was a song based on Boxing Helena? Where have I been?
I don’t like calling Terrifier a horror movie, I hope people can see what I’m saying with this. I’ve seen all the terrifier movies and it’s literally just torture porn, yeah some men are killed but not as much as the women and some of the ways the women are killed it’s literally torture porn
Ah! I love the ending of Freaks.
Yes! There was a 2007 "remake" Freak show, it wasn't anywhere near as entertaining as Todd Browning's film but the last 10 minutes, it scratches the gore itch if you want to see just how exactly she got turned into a "freak."
Did the script writer watch Martyrs or The Thing? In Martyrs, the cult was making young women suffer to the point of breaking in the hopes that they would become martyrs (hence the name of the film), and see what lay on the other side of death. With The Thing, the creature first killed, then took the form of its victims.
It really feels like they tried to write about Martyrs, but didn’t watch/re-watch it and ended up mixing it up with hellrasier or something
The women at the end of Bone Tomahawk. That's a grizzly one.
lol didn't even know cabin fever got a remake
I accidentally found the movie Slither when trying to find a scene of a movie or show I accidentally saw as a kid (and it haunted me), it was an interesting find but I still didn't find that show...
7:15. Bro really be looking like Dr. Nefario 💀
6:22 IMOHO, you deserve a reward simply for WATCHING that piece of crap enough to review it.
The end of 2009s "Dread", story by Clive Barker.
You have the plot wrong for Martyrs. The cult is not trying to push someone from pain to pleasure. They are trying to find out if there is anything beyond death.
It seems they mistook the plot for Martyr's for the motive of cenobites in Hellraiser. You know, pain = pleasure.
I can't reccomened Terrifier enough. Definitely reccomened.
I think it’s worth noting that most of these most disgusting fates happen to the women. There’s definitely an element of fetishisation there.
Karen: I'M BEGGIN', BEGGIN' YOU!
I'm sorry I couldn't help it 😂
Half of these are just “something fucked up happened to them but they managed to survive” lol I think we all came here for the ones where they pray for death
Okay, all I know of Tokyo Gore Police prior to this is a group of my friends going "ah, no, dude, ack" and something about a chair mutant and something about piss. Its not that it's horror but whatever the hell that was about that keeps me from checking it out. So random to see it on a list by you guys. I on the other hand enjoyed a viewing of Robo Geisha and Machine Girl earlier that fine Halloween night. But yeah, something about TGP description and half the group freaking out over it I just passed.
Here's an idea for What Culture-horror music, soundtracks, and themes.
Really? I thought Cleopatra was turned into a chicken.
can we get a live action Dunwich Horror? or Shadow Over Innsmouth?
Tokyo Gore Police made me think of 1989s Tetsuo: The Iron Man. That actually was my first body horror film.
Why were these horror scenes blocked out? It is about horror, so no need to play safe for children I bet, as theyte not supposed to watch this in the first place.
Respect for including 'Freaks.' Excellent choice.
I think the ending of Freaks was the inspiration for the "i have no mouth and i must scream" Trope
I know they are just movies; but the fact that humans would even or could even do this in real life is just fucked up and tragic.
Freak's Duck mustve been where AHS:Freakshow must've gotten the ide for Denis O'Hare's character at the end
How could you leave out The Void??
The baby part of human centipede was hilarious
Slither is awesome, it's a MUST rewatch every time it comes on the telly. John Carpenters The Thing is a masterpeace. That film scared me silly when I was young, and it still creaps me out now.
I love how the first movies teleporters look like the one from call of duty
You know... I love this list. Your voice is so sweet and relaxing! Even when talking about horrifying things!
My first time watching Moment #4: "NO! NO! NO! NONONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
(Think Michael Scott from "The Office"... to the 25th power.)
Why are they blocking out these monsters. .
4:29....The Thing...one of the best sci fi horrors ever made ....i first saw this film in 1985 aged 12 and it petrified me ...i had to sleep with my bedroom light on for weeks after it ..awesome movie even by todays standards
I knew I was going to see human centipede for sure. The worst part is in 2 the baby doesn't get run over, it get squished between the pedal and floor of the car
The McFly II
Little Eric Stoltz joke, there.
Heh.
the ending to Freaks actually traumatised me as a child and I don't say that lightly.
You should include Blood Relations, nightmare fuel. One of those movies next to The
Naked Prey that I'll never watch again.
Other body horror in American Mary, Audition, Sssssss, Robocop, Hunter Hunter, Various Saw movies, Various zombie movies.
"It tried to get in my mouth! I never seen something that wants you to eat it!"🤣🤣🤣
Pinocchio.
It always freaked me out when the kids were turned into donkeys.
There's also an error about Slither, Grant and Brenda weren't ex's, she was the kid sister in town, always wanting Grant. Whole scene about it and everything.
Bottin is pronounced "bo-TEEN".
Lol I am literally wearing a the thing t-shirt as I'm watching this 🤣
This is like, the second video this channels posted where they got the human centipede 2 thing wrong. It slid under the gas pedal and she stomped it. Sorta hard for the baby to get out of the car and lay under the wheel.
It's not really a fate worse than death? Duct tape was used duct tape and staples instead of the heavy surgery from the first movie. There's a potential of recovery, on top of that, she escaped, she's alive, she can have another baby. Lindsay in the first sequence has it MUCH worse. Literally sewn to her deceased best friend, and the deceased Katsuro. Even if help does come, she's unlikely to ever fully physically recover. I don't see how the second movie keeps getting placed here??
