Scary movies on psychedelics

fastandbulbous said:
I went to the cimema to see 'Aliens' with my ex after having some home made hash truffles. By the end of the film she was pretending she didn't know me as I was twitching so much in my seat =D. Took the voluntary element out of 'willing suspension of disbelief'...

Oh and Sigourney Weaver - I've had many naughty thoughts concerning her!

i watched the prequel when it was on tv a few weeks back on shrooms (twilight zone feem toon)

i've never been able to concentrate on films at all on a trip. managed to watch alien fairly attentively but i assume being alone helped.
as for a cinema... god no! lol

^ The bit where John Malkovitch was deposited in his own mind had me in convulsive fits of laughter at a friend's house. In a cinema & under the influence of cannabis or one of the milder psychedelics would have been another episode of being disowned for 'a public spectacle' (total & utter laughing fit! =D). Mrs fastandbulbous & my ex both would get this 'thousand yard stare', while counting the seconds and seeing them like that would only make me worse - shrieks, gurgles, snorts while looking like I'm being electrocuted... they always looked so impressed !! =D =D
 
I once watched this Russian cartoon about a world of insects and this ant's journey away from his community... I think I was on AMT and 2C-E. THAT was a worthwhile thing to watch, but it was only like 20 minutes long and it was very artistic (it was on a masters of Russian animation DVD).

Also, I didn't mean to say in my earlier post that horror movies are all damaging and worthless. Just stupid ones like Saw and practically every other "horror" movie that comes out these days which are just gratuitous violence and depravity. Good horror movies can be great, when they actually require you to use your mind and don't just fill your head with violence and desensitization.

And yeah, I finally saw Being John Malkovich last year, and man, what a great movie. :)
 
IMHO, the new "Dr. Who" series was made for watching in conjunction with psyches. I love the show altered or not.

I'm no fan of horror and psychedelics but I new a guy who loved the movie "Event Horizon" on mushrooms.

"Inland Empire" , for me at least, would be a sure a guarunteed bummer if I'd watched it altered. That movie, all 3 freaking hours of it I found to be a genuinely traumatic viewing experience. That movie is an experience not a story.
 
I've seen The Covenant (that's the one about the boys who are all witches and the whole fight between them I think the name is right) on shrooms. It was during the come up (that and coming down or the times I'd think of seeing a movie).

I don't have many problems with horror movies, been seeing them since I was 5. It's just combining a couple of things that I enjoy.

Now as to the Saw movies, the psychology behind what the idea of a survival feature is just is crazy. I love finding the psychology in horror movies, thats what makes them wonderful. In that mindset I would see having a trip on a horror movie being incredible... getting really deep into the psychological side.
 
Oh... one more recommendation I forgot to make, I watched Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and the Who's "Tommy" back to back on a high dose of DXM... that was freakin' awesome. I'm pretty sure both those movies were intended for trippers.

I don't understand why people like to subject themselves to scary movies / death metal / generally trying to freak themselves / others out on psychedelics ... Personally I try to avoid any negative stimulus / bad vibes for some time before after & certainly during, and would recommend the same to anyone else.

Yeah I try to stay away from any bad vibes, an keep it irie on the delics'
Although since this is a "scary movie" thread I have gone to Halloween Horror Nights Hippy-Flippin an Candy-Flippin the past few years.. although the houses are crazy an scary I had a great time..

Oh yea an if u wanna watch somethin check out 'The Wall' by Pink Floyd

I've only seen Saw I, which I thought was pretty funny (the part where he comes out on a tricycle...), so I don't think it would be too bad...
 
I recall watching Jaques Tati's "Playtime"on acid. It was amazing. The film is basically a satire on modern Paris' fetish for chrome and glass. With all the transparancy and reflections, it was very difficult to figure out what was what. It's also essentially told in mime.
 
I don't get why people like watching sickoes murder and torture. with all the death rock, and saw monies why do people wonder why there are so many sick people in this world? There is no reason to watch that snit. Or to listen to death, or evil style rock. In surprised there anent more sickoes out there. that Shit should be banned.

some of the psychological movies aren't had, but saw, hostile, those movies, Rob Zombie, that snit is horrible for people and its disappointing to me that people like that Stuff.
 
I agree with Beenhead. I can't imagine watching a horror film on acid, or why anyone would want to.

I once saw part of the Vincent Price movie "The Tingler in the Spine" while tripping, but of course it was hilarious.

Figure out your tablet you snithead :) Look, I love horror movies, i think I said why; I like being afraid in a controlled environment, I like to see where my emotions will lead and what repercussions I will suffer/gain from afterwards. I don't like being afraid when I'm tripping though, so horror movies are out then. But I actually see these things as the outlet for what could otherwise be physical. They are a visual manifestation of humans worst fears; the relentless, intelligent killer, animalistsic rage, alien/monstrous torture- all archetypes. Archetypes arise at any and all times.... as to death 'rock', well I love black metal- which is a form of heavy metal from Scandanavia- basically gloryfing Satan and demolishing Christ. Its just powerful. All emotions are powerful. I also love James Blunt because he conveys a powerful emotion too. Placecbo make me feel emo and like cutting stuff.... Pink Floyd make me dream of beauty and sorrow.....Cradle of Filth make me imagine dark and gloomy skies....Hallucingen inspires visages of colour....its all the same. But anyway, I do understand how these films can be so disturbing- that is actually why I watch them. There IS something in these movies.

That said, if anyone here has seen Irreversible, with Monica Belluci, now that is the most horrified I've ever been watching a moving image. Utterly terrible, I was enraged at the director for making such a movie....to what avail? The fact is, terrible things happen, are rare enough to warrant attention. Its like our blue sky- thinking abut it, its pretty amazing that we are covered in swathes of blue, but we really only marvel at other colours, such as those of the auroroa. We marvel and are fascinate with things that are beyond the norm.
 
after reading the nadsat dictionary ofcourse ;)
learning russian helped loads when studying it in Eng. Lit. at college

(Not to single you out at all, please take no offense to this)

But come on, funny? Dude, that movie is not funny, and I think it's pretty sick that people think this. This is the desensitization I'm talking about. Since when is a movie graphically showing torture and killing and other fucked up violent shit funny? The fact that kids (mostly the ones I see thinking this kind of thing) think things like that are funny to watch is a big part of the reason I'm afraid for the future of humanity. :\

Maybe it's just an American thing. Anyone care to comment from another country?

And look, I enjoy a good psychological horror movie. But movies like Saw and Hostel and other such crap aren't even horror movies. They're just "let's see how gory and gratuitous and disgusting and shocking we can possibly be".
 
I've been busting out in fits of laughter at horror movies since I was a little kid. If you don't think gratuitous gore and torture are hilarious, what's wrong with YOU? The motives and emotions displayed by the villains in these movies are always so unrealistic that it's comical to watch their evil plans and sick desires come to life.

Kind of like how it's funny to joke about the Bush Administration.

To ne honest, I think that is making a point in itself. Not many people watch these films and really laugh, and if they do, its usually at the sheer exageratedness of it all. But the idea of "shocking" people; there are many ways, and in a sense psychedelics are one, and horror films are another. I fear the consequences of some of these films, but humanity has killed each other in absolutely disgustingly curel ways over the years (think crucifiction) usually at the behest of a religion; at least a movie doesn't invoke the power of god.

A movie like the Blair Witch Project; that truly terrified the absolute hell out of me personally- thats an example of a good horror movie I think.
