old movies are truly horrifying.
watch it for yourself and tell me that it doesn't shake you to the core:
Almost every laugh track you've heard was recorded in the 40s and 50s, even the live audience reactions are mixed in with old recordings, so they're all likely dead too. Gonna cry, pissbaby?
Is that a creepypasta image?
No.
that's different. Knowing that I'm watching something made by people that are all gone is just eerie. The film grain / creepy music / atmosphere makes it even worse, it's like I'm watching ghosts or something.
>I'm watching ghosts or something.
are you an aboriginal?
I always call my mother after going to a museum. It's so scary being sorrounded by all these haunted art pieces. Then when I'm on the street I realize most buildings were also built by dead people and I collapse on the floor, shit and piss myself and cry, and usually the cops take me home for free. One time they gave me a cheeseburger.
>Pissbaby
Grow up
>>the actress in it is probably rotting away inside a coffin somewhere
She's been dead for over 40 years, there would be nothing but bones.
can you stop making these threads? death is a natural part of life. you will be dead someday, I will be dead someday. I don't find movies, stories, novels etc. featuring or created by people disturbing. I don't think most people do.
there's nothing wrong with being afraid of death. Films like these are a reminder of the quick passage of time and our mortality.
>zoomies are now afraid of the concept of time
Lmao you just become more and more pathetic
It doesn't horrify me so much as depress me. There's something profoundly sobering about watching one of those old movies with scenes on massive sets filled with hundreds to thousands of actors/extras and realizing that every single person you see is dead.
And in the 20s people did die on film sets like there was a flood in maybe Metropolis and extras drowned but the show went on
of course they are dead.
no one from ancient rome is alive today.
All that effort, all those people involved, all those hopes and dreams. Dust in the wind.
That's a matte painting, but I get what you mean. That also makes you a homosexual, go down to the store and buy yourself a real problem.
>the actress in it is probably rotting away inside a coffin somewhere
>probably
what the frick else would she be doing? playing bingo at the old folks home?
Could have been frozen in ice
Maybe she got lost in the wilderness
They actually haven't confirmed her death. They say it's possible it was in 1980, but some say it was 1967. They can't even pin down her birth, believing she was likely born in 1891 or 1892. Should could still be out there, up to 133 years old and still skulking about.
When I found out general Hammond from SG1 died while rewatching I was super sad
Watch Intolerance by DW Griffith
This is what keep zoomers up at night now? That people in old movies died?
It's pretty damn chilling ngl
I wonder when that will be the case for a majority of movies. When most of the movies that came out in the 70's and onward are filled with dead people. When your average marvel super blockbuster is all staring leads who are dead.
As weird as these days are, I cannot even imagine what it's going to be like in 100 years. Jeez.
>your average marvel super blockbuster is all staring leads who are dead
if those people survive the next 10 years, it will be very unlikely for them to be dead in a hundred more
This post reminds me of those creepypasta-esque videos posted on youtube, forget what they were called. But like them, this post is pretty mundane and there's nothing horrifying about any of this. You young people get all hot and bothered over stupid shit.
AI will ensure they live forever in crappy entertainment.
You wanna know what’s truly horrifying? That TCM channel you watched this shit on. It actually sucks.
>is that... footage of a person who is no longer alive?
>AAAAAHHHH SAVE ME FELLOW REDDITORS THIS IS SO HECKIN SCARY
The Australian Government has laws about this because it drives Abbos into a psychotic frenzy to see pictures of dead people
I've never even known abos to care about it either, I don't know who the frick they think it's for
>PEOPLE... LE DIE?!
yeah yeah, keep posting your soijak folder. My point still stands that old films are really fricking haunting.
It's not a point, and no, old films are not haunting because they have dead people in them. You're a baby.
>return to monke
Doubt it would be that. More likely people just lose interest in film to a point where a lot slips through the cracks and is lost.
>>the vampire actor is long dead
I wouldn't be so sure
>About the fourth or fifth time this bait has been posted
>Every time it gets replies
>Every time it gets replies b***hing about zoomers
>Every time people respond to it unrionically
>One like 2 or 3 people point out the fact it's been posted multiple times
This site really is fricking dead, it's almost all browns, glowies, or bots.
Sorry, not all of us are terminally online losers who keep tabs on every thread posted on Cinemaphile in the past few months.
It's been posted multiple times the past 2 weeks. You don't need to be a loser to see a obvious re-post.
>You don't need to be a loser to see a obvious re-post
You see, that's where you're wrong.
this loser made the thread again.
anon its called depression. unless you're 16 or something then you'll get over it. its just a phase
The topic always creates weird responses, it is like a litmus test of how Cinemaphile feels in the moment.
It makes Cinemaphile so fricking mad I love it.
Greta is an S-tier silentfu
Nosferatu is a film from 1922, which is 102 years ago, not 108.
the person that mined the silicone that made the computer chips that powered the device that let me post this text you're reading right now? they're out there, walking around, just living their life
or maybe they're DEAD
No one's ever really gone.
Stop talking about death and mortality fricking homosexual I don’t want to think about that
It's hard to watch The Wizard of Oz knowing Toto is probably dead by now
The wicked witch used edo tensai to bring him back actually, he's on the board of square enix
smaller dogs tend to live longer lives so it's certainly possible he's still alive if he's well cared for.
>probably
I don't see how it's any creepier than looking at a photo of Abraham Lincoln or some other dead guy.
And your specific example is a fricking German Expressionist horror movie it's supposed to look unnerving.
What worries me is what will happen to all the art that I cherish in the future? A classic movie with millions of fans I like to imagine there will always be enough people preserving it but what if future values change to a point where we return to monke and art is seen as decadent and will be destroyed? Kinda like in the movie Equilibrium.
Art, culture and history exists only as long as your rulers say it's relevant. Russia built a up a tradition of fine art, writing and even movies then after the 1920s it was increasingly deemed wrong or decadent and has either been left to rot or removed from public view.
you are truly moronic
just get it over and have a nice day
put the bong down homosexual
id still do her
whats her grave address
Silent films have an eerie aesthetic to them anyway. You’re looking back into a window of time so far in the past that’s very different and also very similar to our own time. The fact that you can’t hear the voices of any of the actors makes them that much more remote. Add in older, often somber music and the fact that most of those films were shot anywhere from 15 to 20 FPS and you have a perfect recipe for spoopy, even in Charlie Chaplin comedies.
You don’t get this with, for instance, movies from the 1940s even though all the actors in them are almost certainly all dead too.
In the future, younger generations will be so sensitive that simply seeing a movie with a person that died will make them have an emotional breakdown, and will be put on track with female hormones to better digest their emotions.
Go outside sometime and step away from the computer.
Seethe and cope, troony.
>le troony
You are proving his point. Why do troons live rent free in your head?
The way things are going the future will be a barren wasteland so history and art will have to be rebooted from scratch.
I find some peace in it. All of the problems, stress, all that is so important, crucial and life defining today literally won't matter at all in a couple of years. We're here and then we don't. There's some peace in the transitive nature of life
Wow you mean time passes instead of staying still and things being of a temporal nature end up reflecting the crushing decay of time? I never knew that thanks op!
>AAAAAAAAAH THINGS ARE IMPERNANENT SAVE ME BRAHMIN
oh anon
Fapping to vintage porn and knowing that most/all of the prostitutes would have died of old-age by now is a weird experience too
Unironically, looks like the troony i fudge a couple of weeks ago.
