Horror movies have been successfully scaring people for years.
Killers popping out of nowhere, strange noises in the basement and sinister spirits lurking
in people’s new homes.
But for today’s list, we aren’t going to talk about how horror movies typically
scare us.
Instead, we are going to look at some theories about horror movies that might show us if
two movie killers are related or if all of our favourite horror movies are connected
and they actually tell us one huge story.
How’s it going YouTube?
I’m your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing video.
Be sure to leave us a big thumbs up and let me know, if you had to be trapped inside of
a horror movie, what movie would you pick?
I’d probably be stuck in Jaws.
I mean, I’d get to live on a beautiful sunny island with beaches.
I just would never go in the ocean.
Ever…
Alright let’s jump into today’s list of the top 10 scary horror movie theories that
will keep you up at night.
Poltergeist Curse Theory starts us off in at number 10.
This movie is centred around a suburban family who move into their new home but they start
to notice some pretty disturbing things happening around their house and to their daughter.
But what makes things even scarier is that strange things started to happen to the actors
in real life.
Months after the release of the first movie, one of the actors was brutally murdered by
her abusive ex-boyfriend.
And then two more of the cast members died within a couple of years after the sequel
was released.
But wait there’s more.
The little girl who played in the first movie died at the age of 12 from cardiac arrest
and septic shock just months before the third movie was released.
One cast member just managed to escape death when his plane crashed and in 2009 another
cast member was brutally murdered by an ex-convict who killed him with an axe.
It seems like anyone who worked on this film was cursed because they used real-life human
skeletons on set of the first film because fake skeletons were too expensive.
I hope the remaining people who are alive got some sort of cleanse because all of these
brutal murders don’t seem like a coincidence.
The Descent brings us to number 9.
The Descent tells the story about six friends who are reunited after the protagonist lost
her family in a deadly car crash.
They set out on an adventure to go caving.
They thought that they had all of their safety checks in place, but they were sadly mistaken.
The group of friends got trapped inside of a cave and they have no idea where they are.
They must try to escape their cave prison before its too late because they are joined
by some creepy, flesh eating monsters called crawlers.
However, according to one theory, people are saying that the monsters were actually imagined
by Sarah, and that she went crazy and killed all of her friends.
If you re-watch this movie, it actually makes sense.
She was grieving pretty hard, she was taking medications, she was probably experiencing
claustrophobia and hallucinations and, in the film, it said that she killed 5 crawlers
but maybe she killed 5 of her friends instead.
The aliens from Signs aren’t actually aliens and this theory takes us into number 8.
This movie revolves around a family who lives in a farmhouse.
Mel Gibson’s character was a priest but he lost all of his faith after his wife died
in a brutal car accident.
Things became pretty strange when the family noticed crop circles around their corn fields.
Soon after, they discover that they are not alone.
They are joined by scary looking alien figures and they must kill them off before they are
killed.
And we also learn that water is their weakness.
Well, in this theory people are saying that these creatures are not aliens.
Because what kind of advanced species would come to a planet that is made up of over 70%
water.
So instead, people are saying that these creatures are actually demons and the water that was
used to kill them was actually holy water.
And now, in at number 7 Chris Hemsworth is actually the bad guy in Cabin in the Woods.
The Cabin in the Woods is about a group of college friends who go on a trip to a remote
cabin but they are about to get more than they bargained for.
The group become victims to zombies and monsters but they also learn that there is a company
of technicians who are manipulating their surroundings from an underground facility.
Yeah, this movie is really bizarre.
Oh, and it also stars Thor or Chris Hemsworth so he should’ve easily been able to kill
these monsters and save the world but he actually died in the film.
Anyways, as it turns out people are saying that his character works for the facility
and he was the one that led all of his friends to this slaughterhouse knowing that they would
all be killed.
And I guess he got double crossed and that’s why he died as well.
A Nightmare on Elm Street takes us to number 6.
In this classic slasher movie, teenagers are being brutally murdered by a man named Freddy
Krueger.
While teenagers are sleeping, he preys on them in their dreams but he ends up murdering
them in reality.
But one character named Nancy discovers that Freddy Krueger is connected to a dark secret
that is kept by some of the parents in the neighborhood so if she can figure out this
connection, she might be able to stop him.
As it turns out, one theory suggests that Freddy is actually Nancy’s real father which
would explain why he is so fixated on her and her house.
He believes that this should have been his house, his daughter and his life.
This theory also explains why her mother kept his glove in the original movie.
Biting into number 5 we have the origin of the cannibal family in the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre.
It is said that this film is based on the real-life story of Ed Gein who was guilty
of murder and he would take corpses from graveyards and create trophies from their bones and skin.
Well it is said that officers who went into his home to investigate went absolutely crazy.
They spent so much time in the house analyzing human skulls and things made out of human
flesh so they became traumatized and ended up going insane.
It is believed that the officers decided to stay in Geins house to carry on with the horrible
acts and to continue to murder people.
They became known as a family from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it would explain why
the family never got caught and why the Sherriff in the 2003 remake was associated with the
killings.
Number 4 introduces us to Sam Loomis.
His name pops up in two iconic horror movies – Halloween and Psycho.
So, horror movie fans are saying that these characters are one person and these movies
are connected.
In the movie Psycho, Sam Loomis is the one who discovers Norman Bate’s true identity.
He was the one who found the killer dressed in his mother’s clothes and brutally murdering
his victim.
He was able to restrain him and turn him over to the police.
But he was too late.
Loomis also discovers that his girlfriend is dead so theorists are saying that Sam Loomis
decided to take on a career in psychiatry so that he could help other people.
Fast forward to the movie Halloween, we see Sam Loomis is much older now and he is Michael
Myer’s psychiatrist.
Once Michael Myers escapes, we see that Loomis loses his shit and is determined to kill Michael
Myers because he compared Michael to Norman Bates.
This theory explains why Sam Loomis is so interested in killing Michael instead of rehabilitating
him and why he is desperately chasing Michael for five movies.
Dewey was the third killer in scream and this takes us to number 3.
So, if you guys remember in the first installment of the Scream franchise, we learn that Billy
and Stu are the murderers behind all of the attacks.
But now we have a new theory that makes the most sense.
If you pay attention, there are a lot of plot holes in the first movie.
There is no way that Stu and Billy were the ones who planned and initiated all of the
attacks.
Some people theorized that Roman, Sidney’s long-lost brother was the third killer but
now I’m actually thinking that is was Dewey, one of her closest friends.
Hear me out.
It explains why the first killer was so fixated on Sidney because they were guided by Dewey
who acted like her big brother figure.
And honestly, there was always something off about him.
The Home Alone and Saw connection bring us to number 2.
I know what you must be thinking.
There is no way that my beloved Christmas movie is related to the Saw Franchise.
But what if I told you that there are so many similarities between Kevin Macalister and
Jigsaw.
People are actually saying that Home Alone is the origin story of Jigsaw.
Let’s take a look at Kevin’s character.
He’s got a lot of anger issues and resentment towards his family.
He threatens the poor pizza guy without any remorse, films his uncle in the shower for
ulterior motives and he sets up a whole series of elaborate traps around his house that are
triggered by the victim.
Sounds oddly similar to Jigsaw doesn’t it?
And to top it all off, they even look alike Sorry to ruin your childhood but I definitely
think that these two movies are connected.
The book of evil tops our list in at number 1.
This is the ultimate horror movie theory because it suggests that all of our favourite cult
classics are related.
In a Nightmare on Elm Street, the main character was watching Evil Dead and in Evil Dead 2,
Freddy Kruegar’s bladed glove was seen in the background of the cabin.
But these connections go even deeper.
The dream demons that gave Freddy his powers came from the same book that conjured the
evil dead.
This book is called the Necronomicon (NECK GROW NOM E CON) This book also gave Jason
Voorhees is powers and we know this because the book was found in his house in Jason Goes
to Hell: The final Friday.
And to top it all off, Jason and Freddy met up in person in Freddy Vs Jason so fans have
speculated that all horror movies are connected and all of these bad guys got their powers
through the NECK GROW NOM E CON.
Which was a textbook mentioned in a short story written by H.P Lovecraft himself.
Well there you guys have it…
