<![CDATA[The Scariest Movie Ever Made]]> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnHlUIkZnvM

Horror movies played a huge role in my life and horror classics such as "The Shining," "The Exorcist," and "The Thing." are and likely always will be some of my favorite films of all time. But the horror genre has changed drastically. The plots are formulaic, remakes and reboots are the norm and the scares are dried up.

I'll always be a fan of horror movies, but if you are looking for some severe scares this Halloween, consider checking out a non-horror. A BBC produced Docu-drama from 1984 called, "Threads."

The most realistic and gruesome depiction of nuclear war and the price to be paid afterward are on full display in "Threads." (1984) And there are no shortages of terrifying scares.

With "Threads," (1984) if you know, you know. If you don't know and are on the hunt for scares and a shock to your system, look no further than "Threads" (1984)

<![CDATA[Have you read any scifi that you found overly disturbing?]]> https://www.reddit.com/r/printSF/comments/kiyfnx/have_you_read_any_scifi_that_you_found_overly/

I like weird scifi, and sometimes I am in the mood for scifi that makes me uncomfortable. I don't necessarily mean horror or weird Lovecraftian fiction (not a fan) but just really dark scifi. So what are the weirdest, most unsettling scifi books and short stories you have read? I'll start with: The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect by Roger Williams I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison American War by Omar El Akkad Bleakwarrior by Alistair Rennie And though they aren't scifi, most Cormac McCarthy books have made me wince at a few points. submitted by /u/SheedWallace to r/printSF [link] [comments]

<![CDATA[Zuboff is a PSYOP]]> https://huffduffer.com/therourke/584849

Cold open: Agent Zuboff receives her mission.

Main show: We politically cancel Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, for advancing / mainstreaming a reactionary critique. Surveillance capitalism is not a “rogue mutation” of a normal capitalism. Surveillance is not the scapegoat that needs to be sacrificed so we can maintain a good version of consumption and commodification. We let you in on a little secret—one that Zuboff’s work is designed to obscure—the real horrors have been coming from inside capitalism all along.

Morozov’s article on Zuboff’s bad analysis of surveillance capitalism: https://thebaffler.com/latest/capitalisms-new-clothes-morozov

Monthly Review article with good analysis of surveillance capitalism: https://monthlyreview.org/2014/07/01/surveillance-capitalism/

Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin). Production / Music by Jereme Brown (twitter.com/braunestahl). Thanks to Laura for voice work on the cold open.

<![CDATA[The Nutty Putty Caves | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror]]> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWwPg8ruxfI

At around 8:00pm on the 24th of November 2009 John Edward Jones – an avid amateur caver – entered the Nutty Putty caves just south of Salt Lake City in Utah. He was accompanied by a large group of family and friends – it was, after all, just before Thanksgiving. The trip was intended to be a brief adventure that they could share before the holiday. What it turned into was a living nightmare that would cost John Edward Jones his life.

I tell the true stories behind some of history's greatest disasters... but without sensationalism or disturbing imagery. Fascinating Horror is all about in-depth research, respectful storytelling, and learning what we can from the mistakes of the past. You might be surprised to discover just how much of today's world is shaped by long-forgotten disasters from decades gone by.
