I hope Alanda gets into a whole marathon of James Wan’s body of work, Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring, Malignant. It’d be fun. Insidious and The Conjuring are separate franchises, just the same genre
When you said that demon was rocking some fur boots, I couldn’t take him serious anymore 😂😂thanks for the laughs! He was sewing up some Apple Bottom jeans in the further
I've never been able to take him seriously for that very reason. I always just saw "man in Halloween make-up wearing furry rave boots" :/ Only movie monster/villain I've found less scary was Voldemort, lol.
I was unemployed when this came out and saw it during the day in an EMPTY theater. It has some of the most well-constructed jump scares of any movie I have ever seen. And Wan doesn’t believe in fake-outs like a cat jumping into frame. There is always a legitimate reason for it. The soundtrack is freaky as hell too.
That theater woulda been in SHAMBLES upon my exit! I don’t know how you did that but I’m glad you made it 😭 at least I was in the comfort and familiarity of my own home.
@@AlandaParker I remember when that full screen title card came up with the shrieking violins I said “Ohhhh shitttttt…” It was touch and go there for a minute. 😂
I worked at a theater and i went to pick up my check early on a weekday and decided to watch “It: Chapter 2”(since it was free for me), and it was an empty theater. It was quite the experience 🤣
@Geminidragon76 I always randomly sing tiptoe through the tulips and my nephew would cry because he only ever heard the song and it scared him so much. One day he comes up to me and goes "I saw the scene with the song, auntie. It wasn't even that scary." I just thought "I was traumatized when i first saw it so ok, big man"😂 at least now I can sing it without any children crying lmfao
Anyone else look forward to seeing what Alanda’s wearing and how she’s done her hair whenever you click on a new vid, because she always looks fabulous👑 or is that just me?
"You''re gonna hockeystick this ghost child from the 19th century?" One of your best lines yet. LOL! I love how you actually noticed him when he was standing in the laundry nook. Many people seem completely oblivious to his first appearance and I marvel that people don't notice him! And then I had to edit my comment when you said "Why are there two Mormons eating a hot pocket in your foyer right now?" Just about died laughing.
This is perfect timing because while slashers are absolutely a blast, last week I was thinking "C'mon guys, there are like 50+ other sub-genres of horror, lets expand Alanda's palette with suggestions for ghosts or creature features or something!" Yay to you starting this franchise!
You know what Alanda should really try? People might think it's a slasher based on the first 45 or so minutes but it would require her to go back to the 70's. Which I think she's swearing off for some reason after the bleakness of _Black Christmas_ and _Texas Chainsaw Massacre._ I think she would REALLY appreciate 1979's _The Brood_ and 1974's _It's Alive._ Both incredibly rewarding, smart movies with very modern themes / themes that have remained very relevant to things happening today. Last week's _Wrong Turn_ left me concerned just because after the first movie, the franchise turns immediately into torture stuff and like survivalist death trap nonsense. Ala, _The Collector_ and sequel but with in the woods _Deliverance, The Hills Have Eyes_ knockoffs. As long as it's just the one film, it's okay. Also: it's tough that maybe Alanda will watch _Friday the 13th Part V_ to get to the highly entertaining 6th film. And I think she's going to dislike that film a considerable amount. Think about stopping the franchise there. I think she'll get infinitely more satisfaction from higher concept slashers like 1983's _Curtains._ Or the incredibly intelligent Jamie Lee Curtis film, 1980's _Prom Night._
@@entertainmenthell2396 i would much rather her watch something poetically chilling and suspenseful like the original prom night than any friday the 13th film she has left. I think 5 will leave a poor taste in alandas mouth due to the fat character dying while eating a banana and the ableist depictions of mental health. But youre right, 6 is a standard in decent slashers as well. To counter you though I would personally really like alanda to watch part 2 of Wrong Turn, and then The Collector as you mentioned. It’s grisly, dark, and mean, but a fantastic survival thriller.
@@dusthymn8187 The banana scene happened in the 4th film (which of course we already watched Alanda react to), she of course did a lot to make the obnoxious part 4 bearable. _The Collector_ is homophobic, so as a gay man, I say that film can eat trash and decay elsewhere. From what I remember, _Wrong Turn 2_ at the very least is undone by insufferable, unlikable characters. Alanda really should quit at part 1.
"why did he just mic-drop?!" I DIED LAUGHING haha you have no idea how excited I am when you upload videos, Alanda. I've been going though so much lately and it seriously makes my whole day. Thank you so much!
All of your jump reactions are completely justified, lol. The hardest thing for me to believe about this movie was that it was only rated a PG-13. The "tip-toe" song brings terror to my soul every time I hear it 😂
This movie scared me. That little boy dancing to Tiptoe Through The Tulips. No ma'am. I mentally checked out. So creepy. James Wan is awesome. He makes very good, scary horror movies. Love the cast, love the soundtrack, love it all. Just wait til Chapter 2. It gets crazier.
“I don’t want to see it, but I can’t look away,” is pretty much the unofficial subtitle of this entire franchise. I’m gagged, my wig is snatched, and I must know more.
Fun fact, Specs (the Mormon with the glasses😂) is Leigh Whannell, the writer of the film. He and James Wan went to school together and started their careers off as a directing/ writing duo with this and Saw. Leigh actually went on to direct Insidious 3 and some other really cool sci-fi horror movies:)
I’m in recovery from surgery and I’m not supposed to laugh but “Why is there two Mormons in here eating a hot pocket?!” made me weak and now I’m bleeding 😂😭 (Edit: Spelling)
Watched this at the theater with my sister. Went into it assuming it would be a so so horror flick. When the violin music started in the beginning we were practically glued to each other terrified already😂 We were like “what did we get ourselves into?🫣😱
I've never related to anything more than you alternating between gagging and wheezing throughout this movie. This damn film had me stressed to hell and back too 😭 And brace yourself, girl, this series just keeps getting more and more stressful lmao
I saw this movie in theaters with my parents. The man behind the crib jump scare still sticks with me to this day because it was such a well set up jumpscare 😭
FUN FACT! Elise is played by Lin Shaye, she played Nancy's English teacher in the original Nightmare on Elm Street. She's also Bob Shaye's (founder of New Line Cinema) sister.
I was nervous for you when you said you were starting this series cause the first two haunted me for a WHILE when I first saw them!😂 You handled it exceptionally though, hilarious commentary as always❤
My college friends and I saw this in theaters when it first came out. We all thought we were horror veterans as well. As soon as the opening title "INSIDIOUS" blasted on screen we all screamed. And kept screaming through the movie. Had nightmares and were unable to get proper sleep for WEEKS
insidious is one of my favorite franchises, i just like the lore and the trio of elise, specs and tucker (latter two being the "mormons" as you called them). i'm not sure if anyone in the comments mentioned this but the person playing the lipstick-face demon aka the big bad villain is joseph bishara and he is also the composer for this movie!
Lmao so here’s this one: my roommate decided to watch this super late at night, while I was asleep in the same room. When those violins kicked in, he said I started writhing around in my sleep like I was having a nightmare💀
In case you wanted to know, the violin sounding instrument is actually a piano. The composer used the strings inside. Also, the red devil guy is the composer. And the Mormon (😂) with the glasses wrote the movie. Oh, and thirdly, I used to watch this and the second one before bed. I'm weird, I know 🤣
The mother in law, Josh's mom, is played by Barbara Hershey, that also played Cora, the Evil Queen's (Regina) mother, in Once Upon A Time. And was also the co star with Bette Midler in Beaches.
This was one of my favorite theater experiences - packed with people in Manhattan and everybody was screaming and popcorn was flying during some of the jump scares and then we all applauded at the end lol It’s so freaky how the red faced demon really fancies himself a clown like figure that can entertain children with his puppets to lure them into the further, like he thinks it’s a friendly facade lol
Getting ready for work, but i cant wait to watch this later. Insidious is its own Universe. The conjuring is also its own, but it also contains Annabelle and The Nun. It also includes La Llorona, but that's more of a loose connection. The Conjuring verses timeline is all switched up though, so after Conjuring 1, 2, 3, you can watch the connected movies (aside from Annabelle) in any order.
i love how alanda keeps taking it up a notch with the horror genre she started with campy slashers and look at her now deep diving into the dark side of horror 😂❤
You mean up a notch as in: this movie is artificially louder and has more aggressive overacting than Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Friday the 13th?
Recently came across your channel with Wrong Turn, and have since watched so many of your videos. You have amazing, witty and colorful commentary, and seem to have a great personality. Watching you experience this has been especially great. Take care!
the level of mother energy you exhume, like it's a straight up peaceful, serene, safe feeling i'm sensing everytime i watch a horror movie with you it's impressive actually!
I started watching this movie at my brother’s behest. He left the house (and me home alone) as soon as Josh got into The Further. Easily the scariest part of the movie 😂 I was so mad!
I'm so grateful Alanda brings these movies that I would never in my life watch so I finally get to see it in her company complete with cute before and after messages
This movie fucked me up as a kid and still does honestly, even while I was watching you watching Insidious I was mainly focusing on your reactions and it still gave me chills and goosebumps the whole time 😭 I can't even explain why it still gets me when I've watched it so many times, I know when all the jump scares are coming, I know the whole family survives and get a happy ending!! And yet it's so well made and effective that I still get shit scared even now, especially the bit when Rose Byrne goes in the baby's room and there's a man standing over the crib like could you imagine if you saw that irl, I would die on the spot 💀
I am BEYOND excited you're watching this series!! This just made my whole week. In my opinion, it's one of the best due to the jump scares, not to mention the music is terrifying.
When I first saw this scared the shit out of me I hope you do the franchise cause Elise is the best character she's so good. Patrick Wilson is directing the upcoming fifth movie which is a sequel to the first two movies.
The scene where their son wasn't waking up tore my heart in two! I have a young boy and the number of times I've checked to make sure he was breathing these past 13 years...ugh. You never stop worrying when you love someone with all your soul
"Youre gonna hockey stick... this ghost child...from the 19th century??" "Why are there two mormons eating a hot pocket in your foyer right now?" Im dying😂😂😂
So amazing watching the progression into the genre, and it's so cool watching the community pull together to give guidance on how to navigate it. Starting from creature features like tremors and the thing, onto classic slashers like halloween and scream, deftly skipping over the torture porn Era in things like saw or terrifier, and now arriving at more meaty entries into the genre like insidious, barbarian, or pearl.
I have been obsessed with horror since I was 7 and Insidious was one of the first excellent horror movies I saw after the noticable decline in horror after 2007. At least in the Hollywood sphere. After this I feel like ghost horror was super mainstream which I love cause it's my favorite type of horror. So this movie made a ghost horror renaissance era that I absolutely loved haha. Such a great reaction and I can't wait for us all to watch the next one!
This movie was the first time I can remember being so scared that I blocked most of it out. I watched it a few years later like I’m sure I’ve seen this and scene in the kitchen with it behind the dad was when it all came back to me and I remembered why I blocked it all out. Even watching your reaction there were parts I completely forgot about lol good movie i just like to forget it
17:30 Barbara Hersey also plays Cora, The Queen of Hearts, in ABC's Once Upon A Time, which I saw way before this. I couldn't place her for the longest, and her kind character here definitely kept throwing me off until I shouted, "That's Regina's mom that was being a bitch!!" when watching with friends. Good times.🤣
I’ve never seen that show but a couple people have had it as their reference for her. I might have to see if I can find it cause I do remember it being a big thing when it aired…
@@AlandaParker Sorry for just seeing this reply. Good thing I Iove binging your videos!😄 I enjoyed it/remember up until Season 4(?), the one Elsa is in, personally. My favorite was Regina (Lana Parrilla), and love all her scenes. I will warn that for such an early show dealing with the magic/costume budget, and the longer it went on, storylines were dropped/ignored as actors dealt with life or opportunities in other shows. Just don't want you to get invested then disappointed. Gets kind of wonky, personally. But it is campy/overdramatic/fun at times. When I go back and watch some of the acting, I giggle a bit.😄 Take care!!
I don't know, Insidious just isn't scary to me at all. I wish it was, I had high hopes, everybody went on and on about how scary it was. I just find something about Wan that hits my funny bone and I can't take any of his work seriously. That doesn't mean it isn't fun, though. It just strikes me like tongue in cheek bad community theater. I watched this one for Lin Shaye (Room for Rent is great) and the design of the bride. But, I have to say I love seeing the effect it's supposed to have on the viewer and it makes it a very fun watch to see it through your eyes. So, thanks, it's always a good time having you crack me up. Good luck, Raoul😁
I didn't expect an upload this early in the morning. This was a nice surprise! I am very immune to horror movies. Things that other people say are terrifying I watch without an issue. This is one of only movies I can even think of that has left me feeling creeped out for any length of time. (The other being Gremlins, which I watched when I was way too young and left me scared of the dark for years afterward). I'm glad to see you getting into these movies. It should be a fun and spooky ride! 👻😈
Hi Alanda do you think we'll be able to revisit nightmare on elm street Halloween Friday the13 those are always a good time plus you haven't seen Wes Cravens New Nightmare ❤❤❤ BTW your hair is on point girl ❤
We’re definitely gonna hit ‘em all!! I’m sorry about the wait in between films but know I haven’t forgotten and love all these franchises too 🥰🥰 and thank you so much love
I feel like such a proud horror daddy lol 😅 To see how far you’ve come on your horror journey in regards your tolerance for & willingness to watch all these horror movies that I love so much!! Every week I look forward to these reactions from both ZZAVID & you girl!! It literally doesn’t matter what mood I’m in or what I’ve got going on in my life, when y’all upload your reactions, I feel nothing but joyfulness!!! ❤❤❤ Thank you for continuing to provide us with quality content & I love you!!! Already ready for next weeks video haha
James Wan stands as one of my most respected modern horror directors and artistic craftsmen, (and ✨fellow Aussie). From Saw (one of my first horror loves), to The Conjuring Universe & Indidious' Universe, and the more recent M3GAN. Even the stand alones like Lights Out are phenomenal, that one actually gave me the creeps for a few months & is a personal favourite.
As an empath, this movie and The Conjuring rattled me to my core. Both of their leading women, Elise and Lorraine (The Conjuring), have empathic abilities, which allow them to sense (AND in their cases, see) the emotions and/or energies of those around them and the environments they occupy. Luckily, I'm only privy to others' feelings and emotions. When I first watched these movies, though, and didn't really know much about empaths or the different types and degrees of abilities they might possess, I feared I'd experience something like Elise and Lorraine one day and ultimately lose my mind. 😅
Omg, i can’t believe I was just mentioned in one of this queen’s videos. 😱 year made! Alanda you are such a lovely soul, this film journey with you is so much fun. I am so excited for you to get to The Conjuring series and Wes Craven’s new nightmare (one of my personal favs). Much love! ❤
Thank you sweetness 🥰 I’m glad my memory was right! I’m ssoooooo excited to get to New Nightmare too and even though I’m TERRIFIED of these next James Wan films I also really wanna see them 😭
@@AlandaParker Nightmare 6 isn’t that bad in my opinion, it’s a good time, it’s campy and silly, still creepy but not necessarily scary. It’s not everyone’s favourite, but I ate it up when I was little. New nightmare to me was kind of Wes Craven’s first attempt at being meta. New nightmare came out in 94 and Wes did scream in 96 right afterwards, so the tone in new nightmare felt like a trial run imo.
Usually don't fuck with the paranormal movies, but it's Patrick Wilson so... Goddamn... Anyway, I AM glad my lust for him convinced me to check these out👍
Oh, you have to watch the second one at least. It's a direct continuation of this one. My wife and I watch them back to back like one extra long movie.
I really don’t spook easily but this one scared the shit out of me in the theater.😣😣 I think I understand why it took you soOo long to appreciate scary movies. You are a HIGHLY empathetic human being. You say things like “don’t take MY son” and “WE must leave” like you’ve place yourself in their shoes completely. Fiction is meant to make us do that but some ppl find it difficult. You do it automatically. You probably have a beautiful heart and I presume from watching you that you’re a very kind & genuine woman ☺️ Wishing you nothing but the best girl.
Thank you so much for your sweet words 🥹💛. Yeah being able to easily see myself in the positions of the characters is definitely what kept me from horror for so long but I’m enjoyin it here now. Wishing you the best too lovely!
I cannot wait for you to see the conjuring series! I LOVE IT! It was one of the first horror movies I saw and it made me fall in love with horror. Cannot wait for you to see the second Insidious it's so good.
“Why are there two Mormons eating a hot pocket right now?”

It’s so freaky how the red faced demon really fancies himself a clown like figure that can entertain children with his puppets to lure them into the further, like he thinks it’s a friendly facade lol
This is hands down my favorite reaction of yours 😂 Best way to start the day.
You’ll love 2 and 3 😆
Probably just one and two
Getting ready for work, but i cant wait to watch this later.
Insidious is its own Universe. The conjuring is also its own, but it also contains Annabelle and The Nun. It also includes La Llorona, but that's more of a loose connection.
The Conjuring verses timeline is all switched up though, so after Conjuring 1, 2, 3, you can watch the connected movies (aside from Annabelle) in any order.
James Wan is the master of jumpscares. His sound + visual combo is deadly 😂 Scared me right in the insidious!
Alanda’s retching at the ghostly little boy is too real 😂
i love how alanda keeps taking it up a notch with the horror genre she started with campy slashers and look at her now deep diving into the dark side of horror 😂❤
You mean up a notch as in: this movie is artificially louder and has more aggressive overacting than Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Friday the 13th?
Rose Byrne ate this movie up, a truly underrated actress
"theres an Einstein looking figure" lol 😂 oh Alanda your commentary is perfection
Recently came across your channel with Wrong Turn, and have since watched so many of your videos. You have amazing, witty and colorful commentary, and seem to have a great personality. Watching you experience this has been especially great. Take care!
Thank you so so much 🥹🥰
@@AlandaParker Of course! ☺️
the level of mother energy you exhume, like it's a straight up peaceful, serene, safe feeling i'm sensing everytime i watch a horror movie with you it's impressive actually!
I started watching this movie at my brother’s behest. He left the house (and me home alone) as soon as Josh got into The Further. Easily the scariest part of the movie 😂 I was so mad!
Having said that, Insidious 1 and 2 are two of my favorite horror movies. 💜
There are two movies that scared the shite out of me as an adult. The exorcism of emily rose & Insidious. Damn good scary movies.
I'm so grateful Alanda brings these movies that I would never in my life watch so I finally get to see it in her company complete with cute before and after messages
This movie fucked me up as a kid and still does honestly, even while I was watching you watching Insidious I was mainly focusing on your reactions and it still gave me chills and goosebumps the whole time 😭 I can't even explain why it still gets me when I've watched it so many times, I know when all the jump scares are coming, I know the whole family survives and get a happy ending!! And yet it's so well made and effective that I still get shit scared even now, especially the bit when Rose Byrne goes in the baby's room and there's a man standing over the crib like could you imagine if you saw that irl, I would die on the spot 💀
100% I found the film really creepy and effective upto the further.
The scares in the Real world were HORRIBLE 🙈 and the music still gets me
My little sister loved this film and promised I would puke my guts out in fright. It was one of the first times hype truly killed a movie for me. 😵💫
I am BEYOND excited you're watching this series!! This just made my whole week. In my opinion, it's one of the best due to the jump scares, not to mention the music is terrifying.
When I first saw this scared the shit out of me I hope you do the franchise cause Elise is the best character she's so good. Patrick Wilson is directing the upcoming fifth movie which is a sequel to the first two movies.
"Why are there two Mormons eating a Hot Pocket in your foyer right now?"🤣
The scene where their son wasn't waking up tore my heart in two! I have a young boy and the number of times I've checked to make sure he was breathing these past 13 years...ugh. You never stop worrying when you love someone with all your soul
"Why did he just mic drop???" 😂😂😂😂 Lmao, love your reactions
"WHY DID HE JUST MIC DROP?!" 🤣
"Youre gonna hockey stick... this ghost child...from the 19th century??"
"Why are there two mormons eating a hot pocket in your foyer right now?"
Im dying😂😂😂
So amazing watching the progression into the genre, and it's so cool watching the community pull together to give guidance on how to navigate it. Starting from creature features like tremors and the thing, onto classic slashers like halloween and scream, deftly skipping over the torture porn Era in things like saw or terrifier, and now arriving at more meaty entries into the genre like insidious, barbarian, or pearl.
I have really had incredible guides! I appreciate y’all so much 🥹
James Wan has a great filmography! If it’s not already on your list, Alanda, you should watch Malignant.
I have been obsessed with horror since I was 7 and Insidious was one of the first excellent horror movies I saw after the noticable decline in horror after 2007. At least in the Hollywood sphere. After this I feel like ghost horror was super mainstream which I love cause it's my favorite type of horror. So this movie made a ghost horror renaissance era that I absolutely loved haha. Such a great reaction and I can't wait for us all to watch the next one!
I watch Alanda and Zzavid's reactions even to movies i didnt like much 😅 I'm addicted to the 2 of them 😊🥳
This movie was the first time I can remember being so scared that I blocked most of it out. I watched it a few years later like I’m sure I’ve seen this and scene in the kitchen with it behind the dad was when it all came back to me and I remembered why I blocked it all out. Even watching your reaction there were parts I completely forgot about lol good movie i just like to forget it
17:30 Barbara Hersey also plays Cora, The Queen of Hearts, in ABC's Once Upon A Time, which I saw way before this. I couldn't place her for the longest, and her kind character here definitely kept throwing me off until I shouted, "That's Regina's mom that was being a bitch!!" when watching with friends. Good times.🤣
I’ve never seen that show but a couple people have had it as their reference for her. I might have to see if I can find it cause I do remember it being a big thing when it aired…
@@AlandaParker Sorry for just seeing this reply. Good thing I Iove binging your videos!😄 I enjoyed it/remember up until Season 4(?), the one Elsa is in, personally. My favorite was Regina (Lana Parrilla), and love all her scenes. I will warn that for such an early show dealing with the magic/costume budget, and the longer it went on, storylines were dropped/ignored as actors dealt with life or opportunities in other shows. Just don't want you to get invested then disappointed.
Gets kind of wonky, personally. But it is campy/overdramatic/fun at times. When I go back and watch some of the acting, I giggle a bit.😄 Take care!!
@@alistairmooncrest5018 i feel like I’ve heard this sentiment before. Good to know!! Im still gonna try to give it to 🥰
@@AlandaParker Got you, 👌🏽. I hope you enjoy!! (And thank you for such a speedy reply!)
“ Why are there two Mormons eating a hot pocket in here?”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Why is there two Mormons eating a hot pocket in your foyer right now!?" The way I can't breathe 🤣😭🤣
The queen herself, Lin Shaye.
lol "That's not enough, nurse flower scrubs..." hahaha
I don't know, Insidious just isn't scary to me at all. I wish it was, I had high hopes, everybody went on and on about how scary it was. I just find something about Wan that hits my funny bone and I can't take any of his work seriously. That doesn't mean it isn't fun, though. It just strikes me like tongue in cheek bad community theater. I watched this one for Lin Shaye (Room for Rent is great) and the design of the bride. But, I have to say I love seeing the effect it's supposed to have on the viewer and it makes it a very fun watch to see it through your eyes. So, thanks, it's always a good time having you crack me up. Good luck, Raoul😁
“Why did he just mic drop”I’m screaming lmaooo
You should do Evil dead 2013 it’s a fun time. Insidious is amazing and it isn’t connected to the conjuring.
These Movies Were Scary ASF Growing Up
The First One And The Second One Are So Terrifying Especially Part 2 "DONTCHU DARE"
I didn't expect an upload this early in the morning. This was a nice surprise! I am very immune to horror movies. Things that other people say are terrifying I watch without an issue. This is one of only movies I can even think of that has left me feeling creeped out for any length of time. (The other being Gremlins, which I watched when I was way too young and left me scared of the dark for years afterward). I'm glad to see you getting into these movies. It should be a fun and spooky ride! 👻😈
BubblyRainbows might be the coolest username on CZcams, I do believe there's a possibility.
Hi Alanda do you think we'll be able to revisit nightmare on elm street Halloween Friday the13 those are always a good time plus you haven't seen Wes Cravens New Nightmare ❤❤❤ BTW your hair is on point girl ❤
@pogoyagathanks for the comment I agree 💯 we need to get into some Freddy Krueger fun😮❤
New Nightmare is my all time favorite Freddy movie, I like it even more than 1!
We’re definitely gonna hit ‘em all!! I’m sorry about the wait in between films but know I haven’t forgotten and love all these franchises too 🥰🥰 and thank you so much love
I feel like such a proud horror daddy lol 😅 To see how far you’ve come on your horror journey in regards your tolerance for & willingness to watch all these horror movies that I love so much!!
Every week I look forward to these reactions from both ZZAVID & you girl!! It literally doesn’t matter what mood I’m in or what I’ve got going on in my life, when y’all upload your reactions, I feel nothing but joyfulness!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for continuing to provide us with quality content & I love you!!! Already ready for next weeks video haha
Fun fact, the first house the family lived in at the beginning of the film was the same house used in black Christmas (2006)
James Wan stands as one of my most respected modern horror directors and artistic craftsmen, (and ✨fellow Aussie). From Saw (one of my first horror loves), to The Conjuring Universe & Indidious' Universe, and the more recent M3GAN. Even the stand alones like Lights Out are phenomenal, that one actually gave me the creeps for a few months & is a personal favourite.
“Keep it movin Patrick” is taking me out girl 😭
The conjuring and insidious aren’t connected but James wan directed both
OMG!! Best reaction everrrr 😂 "Two Mormons eating a hot pocket in your foyer..." I swear, I will never recover 😂😂😂
As an empath, this movie and The Conjuring rattled me to my core. Both of their leading women, Elise and Lorraine (The Conjuring), have empathic abilities, which allow them to sense (AND in their cases, see) the emotions and/or energies of those around them and the environments they occupy. Luckily, I'm only privy to others' feelings and emotions. When I first watched these movies, though, and didn't really know much about empaths or the different types and degrees of abilities they might possess, I feared I'd experience something like Elise and Lorraine one day and ultimately lose my mind. 😅
I'm an Empath as well and I feel the same way about these films.
@@BeautyMonster1000 RIGHT!
Omg, i can’t believe I was just mentioned in one of this queen’s videos. 😱 year made! Alanda you are such a lovely soul, this film journey with you is so much fun. I am so excited for you to get to The Conjuring series and Wes Craven’s new nightmare (one of my personal favs). Much love! ❤
Thank you sweetness 🥰 I’m glad my memory was right! I’m ssoooooo excited to get to New Nightmare too and even though I’m TERRIFIED of these next James Wan films I also really wanna see them 😭
@@AlandaParker Nightmare 6 isn’t that bad in my opinion, it’s a good time, it’s campy and silly, still creepy but not necessarily scary. It’s not everyone’s favourite, but I ate it up when I was little. New nightmare to me was kind of Wes Craven’s first attempt at being meta. New nightmare came out in 94 and Wes did scream in 96 right afterwards, so the tone in new nightmare felt like a trial run imo.
18:38 the gag had me sobbing 😭😭😭😭 this movie is so scary it's disgusting
I have Covid and this is the only thing that made me feel better
Stay hydrated love! Glad you’re feelin a bit better 🥰
Now this horror film is a classic. Great reaction! 👍🏿
Barbara Hershey plays the mom in this film. She features in the horror classic The Entity (1982), which is also about a haunting.
"tune your violin!" omggggggg we 2 mins into this vid and she killing me alreadyyyyyyy
Usually don't fuck with the paranormal movies, but it's Patrick Wilson so...
Goddamn...
Anyway, I AM glad my lust for him convinced me to check these out👍
💀🤌🏾
The kid is the guy from the cult in The Whale, it was crazy watching him. I felt so old lol
“The whole house woulda knew if I fell like that” 😂😂😂 facts!!!
Oh, you have to watch the second one at least. It's a direct continuation of this one. My wife and I watch them back to back like one extra long movie.
29:14 "he's been possessed by the red babadook" 🤣🤣🤣
I really don’t spook easily but this one scared the shit out of me in the theater.😣😣 I think I understand why it took you soOo long to appreciate scary movies. You are a HIGHLY empathetic human being. You say things like “don’t take MY son” and “WE must leave” like you’ve place yourself in their shoes completely. Fiction is meant to make us do that but some ppl find it difficult. You do it automatically. You probably have a beautiful heart and I presume from watching you that you’re a very kind & genuine woman ☺️ Wishing you nothing but the best girl.
Thank you so much for your sweet words 🥹💛. Yeah being able to easily see myself in the positions of the characters is definitely what kept me from horror for so long but I’m enjoyin it here now. Wishing you the best too lovely!
I cannot wait for you to see the conjuring series! I LOVE IT! It was one of the first horror movies I saw and it made me fall in love with horror. Cannot wait for you to see the second Insidious it's so good.
