Okay in my defence, I had never seen it before and I was expecting a much less creepy movie because it was PG so what the heck?!? That alternate world mom is gonna give me nightmares

Might we get an Other Mother cosplay for Halloween?

Trying to decide if this is a cosplay hint or not…

To be fair, that is a rather scary story. My own daughter says it's the scariest movie she's ever seen.

Lol. Same. Used to watch horror movies all day long when i was younger. Nothing was able to shock me. Different story now. You get used to horror movies, but you also can lose your fearlessness again if you don't watch them for some time

Why was I expecting cosplay with you only wearing the Ghostface mask when I saw the title…. In all seriousness that movie is weird

Dan Campbell

But it’s a “family/horror” film! Whatever *that’s* supposed to mean. It was a nope for me after watching the trailer.

Tee hee 🤭 I have NO tolerance for horror films. My imagination is all too happy to play along with the dread on the screen 😅

Scoo

Other Mother is terrifying! More so than most horror movie baddies

I remember reading a Tumblr post about Coraline. Gaiman's publisher said it was too scary and wasn't going to print it, but he convinced her to read it to her young daughter to prove it was fine. She read it and the kid was fine. So they went ahead and printed it. Fast forward to the movie premier and he's sitting with the publisher and her daughter and he tells the daughter about how this only happened because she wasn't scared. The daughter said "Oh, I was TRAUMATIZED by that, but I had to know what happened next!"

Just sayin’: those button eyes were creepy af.

I love that it actually EARNED its PG rating 💕👌👌👌 (Imo, wayyyy too many recent animated movies have the PG label slapped on seemingly for no other reason than to appease the Helen Lovejoys & the helicopter parents of bubble children 🙄) Sorry for the rant, the ratings system is such a joke atp, istfg I have such a burning hatred for it “Don’t let the button eye people get me” 🤣 Lol your daughter’s reaction 😂

Also, I straight up can’t remember where I read this quote (might have been a dust jacket?) but it went something like “Coraline is the only children’s horror story that scares adults more than children”

Coraline was delightfully, wonderfully creepy; the kind of story I enjoyed as an adult but would have thoroughly loved had it been around when I was a kid Fuck Gaiman, though

Joseph Benoit

I recommend the book if you can get it at the library or something (I don’t think we’re supposed to be giving Neil Gaiman money at this point)

Cyber_Cyrus

Wait…I’m supposed to be scared of the other mother?

Peter

Im pretty sure its been shown to be healthy for your wellbeing to get scared ones in a while, so good for you that you can scared :-)

Nicholas Sulikowski

Absolutely understandable. I think part of it may be adults understanding stranger danger more than kids? I don't know. But I do support creepy stories for kids. I grew up on a steady diet of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Are You Afraid of the Dark?. (I also saw too many R rated horror movies too early probably....)

Side note, this was directed by Henry Selick, the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach. Coraline was also a film made by the company Laika, who specializes in stop motion films like ParaNorman and Kubo and the Two Strings, both of which are highly recommended.
