allthingshorror_feedThis is a looong shot, but here it goes. I remember seeing this scene on tv no idea if it's from a movie or tv show. It really stuck with me and made me feel queasy and like was going through what was happening on the screen, like my skin was being ripped apart.
I remember a 1950s style diner but in the 1980s or 1990s. A waitress was wearing a pink or red 1950s waitress uniform and she falls running away from the killer when she is on the floor he pulls on her ankle while she is grabbing on to something and her leg is shown being pulled apart, skin ripping and bone showing. I can't be sure if it was this gorey or if it's just my brain filling in the part not shown on screen. The image is still burned in my head and don't think the
effects were good at all but for some reason really stuck with me.
I'm 35 and this has been haunting me for 30 years give or take a few years. I've ben searching online for more than 10 years and can't count how many 1980s and 1990s media I've consumed hoping to find this scene

It’s my birthday! Help me get scared!
Mar. 18th, 2026 12:31 amallthingshorror_feedI loveee horror!
I especially love horror with dark cinematography. Think moody, dark, atmospheric vibes. Like how Nosferatu & Twilight were filmed but something with a better plot than Twilight, obv.
Not necessarily looking for a hidden gem, but I have seen a lot of the popular recs on here like almost all A24 films and several NEON films.
I love psychological thrillers, witchy (not demonic possession), slow burns with a crazy twist, high tension…
Help a girl out!
(Things I loved: Suspiria, Hereditary, Midsommar, Mother!, House of Wax, Nosferatu, Woman in Black, Haunting of Hill House and all things Mike Flanagan)

What are the most depressing horror movies you’ve ever watched?
Mar. 18th, 2026 12:36 amallthingshorror_feedThe only depressing horror movies I can think are historical war films, which they are called Come and see, Men behind the sun, and Black sun: Nanjing Massacre. I’ve wondered what other horror movies that are also depressing like these 3.

redbirdI am back from Montreal. The trip home had some annoying delays while they found us an airplane, or figured out how to tow the one they had, or something, but was otherwise fine.
Rysmiel gave me a back rub last night that did significant good for the tension in my neck and right shoulder. I currently have an unrelated shoulder pain, from spending too much time poking at my phone while spending several hours at the airport, but if I'm somewhat cautious now that I'm home, that should take care of itself in a day or three.
I am catching up on some of the PT exercises I didn't do while traveling because they require elastics, or the foam roller, or weights, but doing all of them tonight would be imprudent.
