>>94Legitimately, the first two Silent Hill games still get me. Sadly, I sold my copies of them ages ago so now I have to play them through emulators. I guess it isn't too hard to find new copies on ebay or something though.

No.101
>>98>>100Man the news really has been nothing but a fearmongering tool for a long time now. That in and of itself is a scary realization.

No.107
I have a very particular ritual for watching horror movies that usually does the trick
you just take any old video nasty that you know next to nothing about and watch it alone at rhe wee hours of the night
Try it with Society(1989) or maybe Funhouse(1981)

No.143
I used to read SCP wiki late at night
No.148
>>94Read or watch vids about people killed by nature. The scariest are the situations I might find myself in: lost in the woods, stuck in a cave, hiking accident, etc. Unsolved creature attacks are also super spooky.

No.192
>>94spiders are bros but I'm scared of them, they're freaky
also I hate the ones that weave those long, thin webs you end up barging through while you walk cause they're difficult to see
No.193
>>192I think those spiders don't even need those massive webs. They just do it for the lulz, so humans walk through them and start flailing about, looking foolish to onlookers, and all the while the spiders are sitting back and having a laugh at their expense.

>>94>What do you turn to when you want to be scared?Self induced sleep paralysis.
No.219
>>94It's hard for fictional media to really freak me out nowadays. Certain philosophical can genuinely unsettle me more than anything like that, but it's not the fun kind of being scared. I've gone through terrible periods of existential dread obsessing over the idea of solipsism and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Now that I think about it, there are few Twilight Zone episodes I've seen that freaked me out. It was similar in that it was in an anxiety-inducing way and not the kind I enjoy.
I can still enjoy vintage horror movies and certain artists or authors, especially when they're focused more on atmosphere or eeriness than cliches or cheap scares. Think along the lines of H.P. Lovecraft, German Expressionism, or Junji Itp.
No.220
>>219>obsessing over the idea of solipsismI had these what if questions for a long time myself, but to me it was always weird how others find it scary, unsettling or similar.
For me the conclusion was that whether it is true or false does not matter, since the results are the exact same thing. If it's false, then everything is business as usual, but if it's true, then still, nothing changes anyway.
The past is still exactly as it had been. The present is still just what it is.
The realization meant nothing.
No.221
>>220That's the rational way of looking at it, but my mind doesn't work that way. I don't know why that is, but I seem predisposed to getting anxious over things like that.
I actually do think there's some truth to solipsism, but it's in the sense of a kind of monism where every being in existence is just the Absolute experiencing itself in countless forms. But because that idea doesn't entail everyone other than myself lacking subjective experience, it doesn't terrify me.
No.222
>>221>every being in existence is just the Absolute experiencing itselfIsn't that true to you as well though?
No.223
Benadryl.
No.224
>>222Yup. It would mean that nothing exists but God. But since that would entail God not having any kind of set personality in the way we'd think of it, it could arguably be considered atheistic.
No.225
My go to is Silent Hill 2 or narrations of "Stolen Tongues" by Felix Blackwell. I don't know why but that story just gets to me.
