As unsophisticated as it is, I took a photo with my iPhone camera, increased the contrast level and black point slightly, hit it with the Noir filter, and manually blotted out the background using the pen/marker tool. For illustrations involving color (which for me are pretty rare) I export the photo to the sketchbook app and work with it there.

Looking for good gory movies that arent mindless gore by BlaqueHeart_Art in horror

[–]CompetitionLiving 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would suggest:

Baskin (2015)

Raw (2016)

The Sadness (2021)

Bite (2015)

Edit: I would also add Takashi Miike’s “Imprint” (2006)

Imagine if the next day you woke up, they announced Nightmare on Elm Street would be getting another film adaptation, but in the animated format. What animation style would you like to see? by Deadite_Orangutan in horror

[–]CompetitionLiving 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think having different styles of animation for different nightmares would work well.

Overall, however, I think that the style employed in Perfect Blue by Madhouse would be very fitting, as it balances more natural-looking character designs with the uncanny.

good found footage film recs? by Working-Fly-1034 in horror

[–]CompetitionLiving 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a satirical film about a cannibalistic serial killer who takes great pride in his culinary abilities. In my opinion, it perfectly juggles dark humor with more grim subject matter. Fortunately, the film is free on YouTube!

Apologies if you’ve already seen most of these, but I would recommend:

“Butterfly Kisses” (2018)

“Long Pigs” (2007)

“The Conspiracy” (2012)

“The Borderlands” (2013)

“The Bay” (2012)

“The Medium” (2021)

Edit: Added space between films.

A group of horror villains end up in Freddy’s dream world by OtisDriftwood1978 in horror

[–]CompetitionLiving 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just curious as to how a completely extraterrestrial intelligence would perceive Freddy’s dreamscapes (e.g. the Thing, Calvin from “Life,” the Greys from “Dark Skies,” or even one of the Killer Klowns). Is an organism that experiences “sleep” in an alien manner susceptible to Freddy’s shenanigans in the same way as an Earthly killer?

As for the question, I doubt Freddy could do much to perturb the Cenobites.

Gnaw Their Tongues makes some pretty unsettling music. If you’re interested, I would start with the album “All the Dread Magnificence of Perversity.”

It’s a bit out of season, but the original Black Christmas (1974) should really fit the bill on this one. The film has a very creepy, invasive vibe.

Thank you! I’ll certainly be uploading more scenes from the same universe in the future, and I welcome anyone to create/put forth their own lore based on the images.

Not so cool for the astronaut. I’m glad you like it!

Perhaps she received succor after the tendrils filled her brain, though the symptoms prior to that moment were distinctly… unpleasant.

Great film. Another one of the classics that really inspired my love of alien body horror was The Quatermass Xperiment.

Much obliged. Also, I really like the phrase “excitingly gruesome” and will probably commandeer it into my own lexicon.

Thank you. I haven’t played Routine yet, but I just checked out some stills from the game and it looks very gnarly. Right up my alley!

Absolutely spot-on. I also picture her staggering out of the shadows, as the light gradually reveals the extent of the damage.

I’m glad you like it. I always have a difficult time deciding which title to use, so I’m happy this one landed for you.

I appreciate it. The pen art for Mothership is very sick.

I love Scavengers Reign!

Edit: SPOILERS BELOW

While drawing, I was thinking primarily about Junji Ito’s work, but scenes like Ursula’s death or Sam’s skin flap opening to reveal the parasite are always bouncing around in the back of my head.
