Looking for horror movies where the tension never drops and you feel something awful is always about to happen

Kill List is the gold standard for me pure dread from start to finish

What movies made you feel unsafe even in silence?

For my birthday last month I ordered myself signed copies of the Craft Wars books, which arrived today! Absolutely delighted discover that Max Gladstone not only signed them, he also wrote a different little note in each one and drew a little skull, god bless:

Do we think the skull is the King in Red since he did it in red pen, maybe so,

I’m looking for some good old fashioned Southern-fried gothic horror. Only rule is no vampires. Give me your bog monsters, haunts, swamp things, haunted plantations, necrophiliacs, cursed families, etc.

Any recs revolving around a character stuck in a time loop? Maybe time travel gone wrong.

Bonus points for alternate dimensions or other mindfuck shenanigans.

Think Higurashi, Groundhog Day, Source Code, Happy Death Day, Edge of Tomorrow, Inception...but horror

Wow, I only made one post last year? I'm here every day, reading, so I keep up with anyone still posting here.

I didn't put up the Yuletide polls this year. Just didn't have the oomph. It's been an oomph-sapping kind of year or so, hasn't it? (Fuck me -- just looked it up, and it's literally the one-year anniversary of that shitbag's inaguration.)

ANYWAY. Fun stuff. Things I have posted since...a while ago.

So as you can see, I'm generally obsessed with those three things. Putting more silliness and gay porn into the world.

Doing just fine.

It's been well below freezing all day, and the only time I've spent outdoors was the pair of bike rides to and from the gig location, which itself is barely a 20 block ride. It was more than enough for my fingers and ears to get uncomfortably chilled, though I take it as a point of pride that continuing to mask up means my nose and mouth are just fine. I'm still thinking often on how safe I am for this cold snap - a safe place to sleep, hot water, layers to bundle up. Mostly, the tiredness comes from having rearranged a fairly sizable home library's substantial fiction section, up and down a stepladder, picking up armfuls of books over and over, and it's not digging a ditch, but between hours of that and the cold, I'm feeling pretty wiped.

I think next time I go, I'll bring a canned coffee with me. See about heading this off ahead of time.

Summary:

“Pure empathy,” says Hannibal Lecter, and it will be some time before he realises his mistake.

“Pure empathy,” lies Will Graham, in careful agreement, and knows that it’s only a matter of time before he’s found out.

“That must be quite a burden to bear,” says Hannibal, and Will meets his eyes, sips his tea, and knows, for once in his life, that he is not the only liar in the room.

Day one’s results (Dreadit’s Mount Rushmore of Subgenres) are:

- Folk horror (8 votes)

- Psychological horror (7 votes)

- Cosmic horror( 6 votes)

- Body, Sci-fi, and Slasher horror (4 votes tied)

I’m doing a series of top 4/Mount Rushmore style horror threads.

How it works:

- Comment your personal top 4/Mount Rushmore of the topic, regardless if someone has already commented the same or similar choices. Explain your choices if you want.

- I’ll utilize a blend of upvotes and most repeated responses to surmise a Dreadit top 4/Mount Rushmore of the topic.

- The results will be posted in the thread for the next topic, most likely the next day.

Day two’s topic is Your Mount Rushmore of Horror TV Shows

About A Place In The Kinki Region

Quick overview before I dive into my situation.

“My friend is missing. When he disappeared, he’d been working on a magazine about the paranormal—his first real job as an editor. With almost no budget, he’d resorted to digging through back issues and unused research material, looking for inspiration. As he did, a terrifying truth began to emerge about a certain place in the Kinki region. I have collected the relevant articles, interviews, and other materials in this book. And once you have understood everything, I would like to ask for your cooperation. I hope you will get in touch.”

Im not sure if you guys have seen the recent buzz about this book, it is temporarily sold out in physical copies, but I managed to snag it on kindle. However when I try to tap to the next page, my kindle takes me back to the table of contents each time I finish a chapter. I was wondering if anyone’s picked up the book and is having the same issues, and also if anyone wants to discuss!

I found this intriguing. YouTuber KnittingCultLady, who is an Air Force veteran and author about two books on military culture from the standpoint of cults(!), put out this rather frustrated video clarifying how members of the military respond to illegal orders. The tl;dr is they will follow orders of ambiguous legality, and refuse to follow orders of obvious illegality, and what is obviously illegal may not be what civilians think.

2026 Jan 18: KnittingCultLady on YT: Some Examples of Recent Malicious Compliance from the Military, ALSO Listen Carefully To My Words:


She doesn't put it this way, but it sounds from what she says that what makes something obviously illegal is that it resulted in a courtmartial or other nigh-universal condemnation when tried previously. Orders that are for doing things that are war crimes by the letter of the law but which did not result in prosecution or other negative consequences for the perpetrators when done in the past do not trigger the sense that they are illegal, e.g. if it was okay for Bush to seize Noriega, then clearly it must be legal for Trump to seize Maduro.

Not dead. Just a lot of stuff.

Mom has been moved to the new place (which is also memory care -- she hates being locked in) and when I visited her last week it was not great at all. The place looks nice but mom was insistent that she needed to go back to OldPlace and I could take her. (I declined. Six times.). I need to decide how often I'm visiting her, because I can't do every week.

Wrote a story for Yuletide (pinch hit) and I love the source and I have no energy to write up all the stuff I want to say

Have FOP flareup under my jaw. I can still chew but mouth opening is restricted -- about the size of a slice of bread's thickness -- and chewing is effortful. Have to take smaller bites so there's more chewing needed too. Have started prednisone (ee) so hopefully that will help. No clue if this is permanent or will resolve. At night it feels like I have something heavy resting on my neck; it doesn't interfere with breathing but it's kinda uncomfortable and getting to sleep is harder.

I've been playing a (free with gacha elements) casual life sim game called Heartopia. So cute. I've just adopted a cat (golden spotted, looks like a bengal) and have unlocked the option to adopt a dog but can't decide which one (golden retriever I name Phoebe? Black lab named Yahtzee? Shiba Inu? Corgi? Husky?). Also you can interact with wildlife. So much cuteness! I love.
