Snake Ranks Anything Horror Related

111. The sex scene in Friday the 13th remake (3 points)

Importance: 1 Fear: 1 Snake: 1

Erotica and horror go together like bread and butter. When done right, it's a great way to add tension and flavor to the work. When done like the Friday the 13th remake, it's a cheap way to get boobs on the screen for a few seconds while a pervy Jason watches from outside. It's not very tasteful and certainly does nothing for the film, and adding Jason in the background does not make things any scarier. It's also one of the worst pure sex scenes in history, with the pair only lasting a few seconds before abruptly finishing. Julianna Guill is a nice looking lady but this scene is just terrible.

110. The pancake kid (Cabin Fever) (5 points)

Importance: 1 Fear: 1 Snake: 3

Pancakes! This scene is so utterly ridiculous as this kid shouts pancakes, does an unnecessary karate routine, and bites James DeBello in the wrist. This scene is kinda funny in that so bad it's good way, but also pretty pointless with some hokey acting from all parties.

109. Forest of Death (Hong Kong horror movie. There is also a tie-in game.) (8.5 points)

Importance: 2 Fear: 3.5 Snake: 3

This film is a bargain bin horror film that feels closely aligned to The Happening of all damn things as plants act as lie detectors. The scripting and acting is really bad and the concept actually isn't too bad but just not very well executed. The idea of suicide forests intrigue me a lot but seemingly no film is able to capture that real life horror very elegantly.

I wasn't able to check out the game or find definitive proof that any game called "Forest of Death" was based on the film at all. IhatethisCPU if you have the game please tell me! I am interested in it.

Anyway, the film isn't very scary and probably not worth the watch at all.

108. Candy corn (10)

Importance: 7 Fear: 2 Snake: 1

Ahhh candy corn, the candy that absolutely NOBODY likes receiving. Don't even tell me otherwise. I won't believe you, you dirty liar. Unfortunately, candy corn is synonymous with Halloween at this point, and the iconic Halloween candy for some god-forsaken reason. It's the dreaded drudge of the Halloween trick-'r-treat bag, lurking in the shadows below the Reese's Peanut Butter cups and Hershey Bars, just waiting to rear its ugly head to tell you, "I'm here now. The good stuff is gone! You only have ME now!" as it manically laughs before you dump the fuckers in the garbage. Good damn riddance.

107. The Void (video game) (10 points) Nominated by: LOLIAmAnAlt

Importance: 2 Fear: 5 Snake: 3

I like a good art game every once in a while as long as it isn't incoherent babble like The Void. Being fun to play helps a lot too. Now to be fair to the game, there's some pretty scary imagery throughout and definitely does a lot of cool things through the visuals of the game. But the story rarely ever engaged me and the gameplay is a pretty bad drag. But like I said, the visuals are very good, lots of macabre and death and gruesome imagery. It might be worth a playthrough if you like these kind of confusing art games. I don't really regret my time with it but it's not a game I really like.

106. This scene from Uncharted:  (10 points) Nominated by: Jesse_Custer

Importance: 2 Fear: 3 Snake: 5

This scene from the original Uncharted just doesn't match the high spectacles that the sequels would reach. However, when I was playing through the game, I appreciated the added supernatural element, which made for a few fun sections and gave some cool flavor to the game. The monsters aren't particularly scary, and there's definitely a lot of cliches used throughout the cutscene, like noises off-screen and a disposable redshirt. Still, it's not badly put together, and introduced a neat element to the Uncharted series.

105. Gingerdead Man (12 points) Nominated by: hellagood16

Importance: 5 Fear: 4 Snake: 3

Gingerdead Man is a part of wave of what I call ridiculous horror, high-concept films that are nearly always parodies and feature some sort of ridiculous antagonist. Gingerdead Man is what I consider the poster-boy for this specific genre, and he's come the closest to reaching icon status but is still relatively obscure outside horror circles. His overall design is a little unsettling but it's clearly meant to invoke comedy just as much as horror. I'm not personally a fan of the Gingerdead Man, I think other films do the ridiculous thing a lot better. But it's a good laugh as long as you just stick with the original.

104.  (12 points) Nominated by: Jesse_Custer

Importance: 2 Fear: 4 Snake: 6

This is a pretty well done parody with some actual scares throughout to keep things lively. I liked the clash of self-serious Conjuring 2 footage with Trump's real-life quotes, it actually blended quite nicely and was pretty funny. The Trump face around 54 seconds in is genuine nightmare fuel. It was a cool parody, short and to the point and a funny concept.

103. Billy Coen (Resident Evil character) (12 points) Nominated by: AdmiralZephyr

Importance: 3 Fear: 1 Snake: 8

Billy Coen is one of the coolest and most sadly underused Resident Evil characters. I really enjoy his relationship with Rebecca Chambers and I'd love to see them both on screen together again. His backstory is very unique in the Resident Evil series, a PTSD war story separate from the viruses and Umbrella experiments that typically populate characters' pasts. There's a lot Capcom could do with Billy, but he seems destined to be disappeared forever. Ah well, his one real appearance was cool and strong enough for him to be one of my favorite RE characters.

102. Gastly (13 points) Nominated by: Anagram

Importance: 4 Fear: 3 Snake: 6

I've always enjoyed the simple design of Gastly, a floating, ghostly ball of gas. His evolutions are better but Gastly still has a lot going for him, with a playful, prankster nature and Pokemon was always surprisingly good at creating creepy stories in both the anime and games out of ghost Pokemon, one among them being Gastly. Gastly isn't even the scariest Pokemon though, Banette and Froslass are definitely up there.

101. The Witch's House (game) (13 points) Nominated by: Pirateking2000

Importance: 2 Fear: 5 Snake: 6

The Witch's House is a horror game of trial-and-error. While some parts of the game can be pretty clever, the fear factor can get reduced because of all the restarting you have to do. Still, it's a neat little game to play through, and you can feel pretty bad for some of the stuff you have to do to get out. One of my favorite scenes is after you read the Book of Death in what's a very macabre death scene. I've played better free horror games but as it stands The Witch's House is not a bad playthrough by any means.

100. And Then There Was Shawn (Boy Meets World episode) (13 points) Nominated by: AdmiralZephyr

Importance: 3 Fear: 2 Snake: 8

This was the first episode of Boy Meets World I have ever watched and I enjoyed it a whole hell of a lot! The characters were very easy to relate to, and the jokes were seriously pretty funny. The use of fake horror movie titles was one of my favorite jokes in the episode, and the lampooning of horror cliches were really well done. I thought it was pretty weird how nonchalantly everyone reacted to the deaths around them, especially their friend with the pencil jammed through his forehead. It was just a really fun time and I'm glad I watched it.

99. Club Dread (film) (13.5 points) Nominated by: AdmiralZephyr

Importance: 3 Fear: 4 Snake: 6.5

Club Dread is a pretty decent parody horror film that thrives on raunchy jokes, a dangerous but humorous antagonist, and a mystery to keep all the characters together and invested. I like the characters and the humor is hit or miss, and to its credit it does have a few moments where it tires to be scary and not just a total farce. Ultimately, it's kind of just a discount Scream and not a horror essential by any means.

98. Kitty Horrorshow (video game developer) (14 points) Nominated by: PumpkinCoach

Importance: 4 Fear: 6 Snake: 4

Kitty Horrorshow has many interesting game concepts, with some scary thought put into them. However, their execution can be a bit muddled at times. Her text twine games are pretty wordy and obtuse and hard to wrap your head around, while her first person games are a little lacking gameplay wise. I can't say she doesn't have unique games made though. One on this list is particularly good, ranking spoilers and all that. They're not all great though but I still hope she keeps making games and getting her ideas out there!

97. This scene: https://youtu.be/lSW2pPlZF-M (14 points)

Importance: 2 Fear: 5 Snake: 7

This scene is freaking great! This is gory campy horror at its finest. Just look at the effects on that head explosion. It's joyous. Still, Deadly Friend is one of Wes Craven's worst directorial efforts, but that was largely due to studio meddling. But for this one scene, campy acting and a penchant for gory deaths put Deadly Friend on top of the world for a few seconds.

96. Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (game) (14.5 points) Nominated by: Axl_Rose_85

Importance: 2 Fear: 5 Snake: 7.5

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is the 4th game in the Alone in the Dark, and the last one until the terrible 7th gen reboot. It plays much like a typical survival horror game, actually a change of pace from the series which typically were slow-paced puzzle adventures. I like this game a good bit, it has two distinct campaigns where you can either play as series protagonist Edward Carnby or newcomer Aline Cedrac. The monster design is interesting and does fit into the monster aesthetic the series had crafted for itself beforehand. It's not a particularly scary or memorable game, but this style of game never gets old for me.

95. Devil May Cry (the anime) (14.5 points) Nominated by: Wicklebee

Importance: 2 Fear: 5 Snake: 7.5

I really enjoyed the Devil May Cry anime, the first anime I've ever watched since I'm a big DMC fan. There's a lot of badassery in the series from Dante and his two ladies Trish and Lady, and really well done monster design that are creepy and would fit right into the game series. There were some good character moments between Dante and the new character Patty Lowell, a cute little girl who liked redecorating Dante's office. It's a good series that I wish went on longer; good animation, fun action scenes, and certainly not lacking in the horror department made DMC: The Anime a winner.

94. Final Destination (movie franchise) (15 points) Nominated by: Raka_Putra

Importance: 8 Fear: 4 Snake: 3

Final Destination is one of the most major horror franchises to come out of the past decade. With a long line of sequels just like any other franchise, Final Destination puts deaths on center stage as teenagers have flashes of their demise right before it happens. I was never a big fan of Final Destination, the concept is just one big gimmick and it's hard to really care about any of characters when the point of the films are for them to die. They're just not very interesting movies and each sequel that comes out just proves that point more and more.

93. SOMA (15 points) Nominated by: Murphiroth

Importance: 4 Fear: 6 Snake: 5

SOMA definitely has interesting concept with its story, but Frictional Games' latest effort is a bit of a been there, done that affair. We know what to expect from their games at this point; stealth horror that involves a lot of crouching and slow-paced sneaking while you try to figure out what to do next. Penumbra played with darkness and that fear of the unknown and it was terrifying. Amnesia drew from Eternal Darkness but turned the game into a hide-and-seek borefest at times. SOMA dumps any nuance in its horror mechanics and pits the player against easily dodged and predictable enemies but there's still a lot of horror to come from its story which is the main focus of SOMA. I'm not a fan of sacrificing gameplay for story; the two are best when put hand-in-hand and complement each other. Your liking of SOMA will ultimately come down to how much hiding you can handle before the next story component pops up.

92. Beneath the Well (Ocarina of Time) (15 points) Nominated by: Wicklebee

Importance: 3 Fear: 6 Snake: 6

This is a very cool and scary location in OoT, known for being one of the most melancholy and creepy places in the game. I agree that it's very good at creating a good atmosphere; skeletons are strewn about, ReDeads litter the basement, and Dead Hands reach up to grab you out of the ground. It's a fun little horror location in a game you wouldn't expect it from.

91. Evil Bong (15 points) Nominated by:

Importance: 3 Fear: 5 Snake: 7

Now Evil Bong is a concept I can get behind. This is the right kind of campy ridiculous that's a joy to watch. It's a really fun concept that the films do a lot with; stoner comedies are a pretty big genre, and Evil Bong manages to add horror to the mix to really great effect. Evil Bong did crossover with the Gingerdead Man but I haven't seen that one yet. I like the worlds and deaths Evil Bong creates, great horror villain that deserves more recognition.

90. Milk Closet (manga) (15.5 points) Nominated by: Drakeryn

Importance: 4 Fear: 5.5 Snake: 6

I did not read the entirety of Milk Closet, but from what I did read, Milk Closet is a very confusing yet interesting story about tails and alternate universes. It's hard to follow at times, but it's still a pretty cool concept. Most of the horror comes from the violent and gruesome artwork, otherwise it's not the scariest ever. I really liked the alternate universes I saw, they're joyfully weird and have a built-in creepiness factor to them. I think I'll continue read more, it has my attention for sure.

89. Over the Garden Wall (cartoon mini series) (15.5 points) Nominated by: Pirateking2000

Importance: 4 Fear: 4.5 Snake: 6

I watched the first three episodes of this series for the purposes of the rankings, and I liked what I saw for the most part. Firstly, the animation is just gorgeous, the detail on the wildlife, flora, and villains of the series is outstanding. The second episode of the series completely blew the first out of the water. Enoch was a great villain with an odd design that stood out in a very creepy manner. His little cat is very adorable too. Then the revelation that the townspeople are skeletons worked very well and was a great cap to the episode.

I really didn't like the main protagonists of the series however, very annoying and in-your-face characters (Wirt is well-voiced however). It's an intriguing series, and I'll probably finish it. But it's also a little hit or miss; the horror tropes are A+, animation is A+, but the main characters and plotlines do feel a little lacking.

88. The Last Exorcism (15.5 points) Nominated by: Corrik

Importance: 3 Fear: 7.5 Snake: 5

There's nothing more stale in horror than found footage films, especially ones that involve either exorcisms or ghosts. The Last Exorcism isn't a groundbreaking horror film and recycles a lot of the same stuff we already saw executed to perfection about 4 decades ago in The Exorcist. It's solid acted film for sure, and I think you'll probably get spooked a few times because Ashley Bell does give it her all here. The found footage aspect is very grating though like usual, bouncing us all over the place like there's a fucking earthquake in every scene. Bending over backwards and saying a a few disturbing sentences here and there isn't exactly the most original thing. There's a million better exorcism and found footage movies out there.

87. Goosebumps (book series) (16 points) Nominated by: Raka_Putra

Importance: 8 Fear: 4 Snake: 4

Goosebumps are classic elementary school literature, possibly many a young one's first foray into the genre of horror. Known for their creepy covers and classic stories like Night of the Living Dummy and The Haunted Mask, Goosebumps and author R.L. Stine tried their best to serve up spine-tinglers for students. In retrospect a lot of Goosebumps stories are decidedly cheesy and I think even as a kid we sort of knew that. Still, Goosebumps remains a best-seller and a classic of many schools I'm sure.

86. Scratches (Video game) (16 points) Nominated by: Robazoid

Importance: 3 Fear: 7 Snake: 6

Scratches is a very slow but very atmospheric point-and-click adventure game that draws a lot from Lovecraftian horror. This is a game you'll either love or hate; you gotta have patience and really appreciate the atmosphere the game builds up for you. There's excellent sound design in this game, between the excellent score composed by Cellar of Rats and the scratches and other ungodly sounds you hear throughout the house. The story is pretty interesting too. If you can get past the obtuse puzzles and slow moving gameplay, I think you're in for a damn spooky time.

85. Graveyard Shift (episode of Spongebob Squarepants) (16 points) Nominated by: Wicklebee

Importance: 6.5 Fear: 3 Snake: 6.5

I'm not a really fan of Spongebob and have never been, I find the character really obnoxiously annoying, but Graveyard Shift is an episode I really enjoy a lot. The story Squidward tells legitimately sucks you in and makes for a pretty funny stinger when the Slash-Bringing Hasher actually shows up at the Krusty Krab. And of course, the ending which shows Count Orlok (which the show mistakenly refers to as Nosferatu) flickering the lights is just amazing both as a sight gag and an appreciative reference to classic horror. The smiling Count Orlok has become a classic image for the horror icon. Graveyard Shift shows just why people love this show so much; if it can win me over I think it's doing something right.

84. Mac's disembodied head flies around and bites Fantasy in the ass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLu6tySol7Q (16 points)

Importance: 3 Fear: 6 Snake: 7

If you haven't seen Hausu you're doing yourself a disservice. You can expect more surreal stuff like this in the film and it's all fantastic! I love this scene, it's both funny and horrifying and that's just simply a great combination.

83. Quantum Leap - A Portrait for Troian (S2, E11) (16 points) Nominated by: Jesse_Custer

Importance: 3 Fear: 4 Snake: 9

This was yet another new show I was introduced to for these rankings, and I really enjoyed this a hell of a lot. The concept of this show is really neat first of all as Sam Beckett morphs into these different time periods and people to solve a problem in the timeline. Beckett was the perfect everyman type character to ease me easily into this show along with it being an anthology series. On to the actual episode, A Portrait for Troian was a really well done Twilight Zone-esque episode about a lady who hears her dead husband from beneath the lake. There are some genuine creepy moments in the episode, like when a painting Troian threw in the lake after her husband's death appears in the husband's old study dripping wet. That was a really well done sequence on the whole. Of course, the whole thing turns out to be an elaborate hoax by Troian's brother but I smiled with the twist at the end when the family's maid turned out to be a real ghost! I'd love to check out more of this show, horror or not! It was funny, atmospheric, and serious about it's storyline.

82. Rebecca Chambers (Resident Evil character) (16 points) Nominated by: Robazoid

Importance: 5 Fear: 1 Snake: 10

Rebecca Chambers is one of my favorite characters in the Resident Evil series and of all time in general. She's adorable and determined to survive despite being a young rookie, clearly scared but persevering with the help of Chris and Billy who she ends up having a very interesting partnership with. Despite being an important character in the first events of the series canon wise, Rebecca has kind of dropped off the face of the earth in the series, only getting a mention in RE2's EX files and a playable spot in Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries Reunion. However, it seems like she's making a comeback; she'll be in the Resident Evil: Vendetta animated film next year and has already made an appearance in the canon Resident Evil: The Stage play. I'm always up for more Rebecca in any form.

81. Marble Hornets (16.5 points) Nominated by: Esuriat

Importance: 8.5 Fear: 5 Snake: 3

Marble Hornets was instrumental in bringing the Slender Man mythos closer to reality through a series of episodes documenting a failed student project and the subsequent seclusion from society by the creator. The episodes were delivered in ARG format to make you question the reality of said events. It was an interesting experiment at first, with shorter, creepier entries making way for longer format episodes but to be honest the whole thing dragged on way too much for my liking and I dropped the series after about entry 30. I did go back to finish it, and the ending was way too little, way too late. There's no denying the impact the series has had however, helping propel Slender Man to a wider attention as one of the premier horror icons of the 21st century. I'm not sure I can entirely recommend the series however, but if you love the Slender Man, you might get a kick out of a few of the entries and see a piece of horror history.

80. The Conjuring 2 (movie) (16.5) Nominated by: Axl_Rose_85

Importance: 4 Fear: 6.5 Snake: 6

I was not a fan of the original Conjuring despite its glowing reviews, finding it to be just as stale as other supernatural horror films at the time. The Conjuring 2 hit back with some interesting stuff however, and on the whole, I enjoyed it more than the original. The performances were widely better and the source material was definitely a lot more interesting to work from. There's still an over reliance on loud noises and overused religious symbolism, but The Conjuring 2 is an okay time.

79. The "Return the Slab" episode from Courage the Cowardly Dog (16.5 points) Nominated by: trdl23

Importance: 4.5 Fear: 5 Snake: 7

This is one of my favorite and best episodes of Courge, featuring an absolutely terrifying CGI King Ramses. The episode has a really good plot like most episodes of the series; I like the idea of the plagues Ramses brings on the house due to Eustace's greed, they're both simultaneously funny and scary. Courage was always adept at combining the uncanny with comedy, and this episode is just more proof of that.

78. Omega Flowey (and its related fight) (16.5 points) Nominated by: trdl23

Importance: 3 Fear: 6 Snake: 7.5

I had Undertale pegged all wrong thanks to the fiasco of the Gamefaqs contest. Undertale is actually a pretty neat game with a few psychological horror elements to come out of the character of Flowey. Omega Flowey is a terrifying photoshop abomination that looks out of place in the game which feeds into the terror of fighting it even more. One of the worst parts of Omega Flower is the face on a screen that seems to be screaming or laughing. Omega Flowey is also a beast that has devastating attacks. It's a scary abomination and a surprising thing to come out of this game.

77. Don't Hug Me I'm Scared (Youtube series) (17 points) Nominated by: trdl23

Importance: 5.5 Fear: 6 Snake: 5.5

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is a pretty popular Youtube series that seems like an innocent kids show but is really a scary mindfuck of randomness. Each episode has a different theme and focus and starts off usually as a parody of children's television. The episodes can get pretty dark but I think they can be a little random and unfocused at times, trying a bit too hard to be weird and surreal. Still, they're interesting and I can enjoy the new episodes that come out.

76. White Day: A Labyrinth Named School (Video Game) (17 points) Nominated by: IhatethisCPU

Importance: 6 Fear: 6 Snake: 5

White Day: A Labyrinth Named School has become somewhat of a cult hit in recent years, originally released in Korea only all the way back in 2001. It is very notable in particular as one of the first full first-person survival horror games, incorporating stealth mechanics that are very popular today in games like Slender, Outlast, and Amnesia. White Day has even been remade for mobile phones for all territories. The horror elements of White Day are very strong, incorporating many elements usually in Eastern horror including ghosts, communication with the dead, and creepy janitors. The game is a little bit of a chore to play but I like the horror and story elements a lot, it's not too bad of a game. I'm glad it's getting recognition.

75. Arkham Horror (board game) (17 points) Nominated by: trdl23

Importance: 4 Fear: 5 Snake: 8

Arkham Horror is one of those board games that nobody ever seems to have the time for; grand adventures of atmosphere and role-playing seemingly only accessible to those with patience and time. I have to wonder how many Arkham Horror games actually get finished, with length estimates, set-up time included, reaching up to 5 hours! That's insane. The game looks amazingly cool though, and as a big fan of Lovecraftian horror and the Cthulhu mythos, I wouldn't mind getting sucked into this game for a few hours. Fear factor here largely depends on player involvement; I can definitely see the game getting you right into a chilly mood with the right player set, other times I can see the game turning into a farce at best and a complete joke at worst as players become bored with the mechanics. I've never been a huge board game person, and I'm not sure how much I would actually truly enjoy this, but from what I've seen it's a cool, atmospheric game with which a dash of the right kind of magic could turn into something really special.
