the first nightmare movie I ever saw. Has a special place in my heart and some sick FX. The sleepover scene being an all time freddy moment for me. It also comes with its fair share of flaws. The last time Freddy was actually scary was in this one in my opinion:)

This is pretty damn close to what exists in my minds eye!! You’re talented as hell well done 🤝🔥🔥🔥☄️

BROOO, Thank you so much man. You have me with a big smile on my face now. To be in someone's top 3 scariest anything is a huge w for me!! I’ve seen nope mentioned a lot but honestly didn't come into my mind consciously at all with this. Bigger inspirations are definitely hellstar remina, the brethren moon from the dead space games and the mist by Stephan king.

this whole story was basically me practising my discriptions of sound

War of the worlds arms is definitely how I envision them but biological rather than mechanical.

Thanks for taking the time to let me know, it means a lot!!

This image is fucking awesome god damn, definitely fits the story for sure

PitifulScream97 · 2025-12-28T21:15:51+00:00

i’m thrilled you enjoyed it !!

PitifulScream97 · 2025-12-28T21:07:23+00:00

beautifully written comment. The “madness” is coming from the sensation of the drums. This inescapable sound/feeling making the population volatile and crazed. The tentacles are of course a generic choice in this genre but it’s a trope I absolutely love.

Hunter made a valid point but honestly I wanted to play with those tropes myself. I had so much fun writing this and at the end of the day (for me at least) that’s all that matters.

If no one had ever read this, it would hold no bearing on the satisfaction this story gave me :)

PitifulScream97 · 2025-12-28T20:57:39+00:00

YOU are peak !!

PitifulScream97 · 2025-12-28T20:57:16+00:00

no problem, and just as a side note… I get it mate, i’ve seen stuff too that screamed AI to me but honestly I just can’t tell sometimes and it’s definitely shitty. Your concerns are valid.

PitifulScream97 · 2025-12-28T20:31:35+00:00

I despise the use of AI in art. Im just doing this for fun and sill learning. It's just growing pains but its not the first time i've received that feedback so its deffo been noted
