Could a movie kill you?

[@illiteratethug3305]

"Died of overexcitement..." Sure, sounds perfectly plausible. "...watching James Cameron's Avatar" * falls on floor laughing *

[@flyingpan954]

[@audriclemmons4479]

Mabye he had a moment of self reflection, thinking it was funny that he laughed at Avatar, which looped on itself and resulted in it getting exponentially funny.

[@arthas640]

I cant imagine that happening with James Camerons Avatar, but that 100% could happen with Shyamalans Avatar. I nearly had a rage stroke watching it

[@orannotoren1]

I saw the title and thought "Foodfight!"

[@Nexiusify]

I suppose dying of excitement wouldn't be the worst way to die.

[@aqeiwwrgunaug4ne3]

arguably the best

[@theriffwriter2194]

Nexius Reign The Nintendo switch trailer gave me chest pains. (plus I peed a little)

[@affluenzashot]

I really enjoy the entire 3 minutes and 22 seconds this episode spends at the end on bringing light to the comments from the previous episode. It really gives a feeling of empowerment by the voice of the fans. Keep it up, members of _This Exists_!

[@MrBX5]

What about "The Ring", people died with heart attack watching it, which was very ironic.

[@thisexists]

[@DimiKaye]

The fact that you mention "Cigarette Burns" , which is one of my favorite movies (hypercult, made me listen to the song Rite of Spring by Stravinski and in turn that lead me to avand garde classical music) is reason enough to subscribe. Keep it up, your videos are very informative.

[@thisexists]

Dimi Kaye It's so good, right? Thanks!

[@SirChubbyBunny]

I'm surprised "The Messenger" didn't get mentioned. I don't know if the movie ever finished, but 43 people (including the director) were killed in the Kolka-Kamadon rock slide after the second day of shooting the movie.

[@flyingpan954]

poor Sergei Bodrov, he was a great guy. anyway, im surprised that some westerns do know about the tragedy

[@B1SCOOP]

Oh you blew up not mentioning "Man Behind The Sun". It was Chinese movie about Imperial Japanese Medical Experiment Unit. 16 viewers died of heart attack during the screenings.

Anything in art that can provoke a strong emotional response and reaches a lot of people is probably going to do something like that at some point. It's like Stendhal having a literal fit when he looked upon Giotto's frescoes for the first time.

I need to watch that movie, people said it's good. But I think of TWD cause it's the first I've seen the actor in it :/

[@verylostdoommarauder]

Wait, I may have accidentally seen that episode of "Masters of Horror" when I was younger. That or it was a similar premise of a guy playing a cursed movie in a theater, and I am pretty sure I had the foresight to run out of the room.

[@UltimatePerfection]

Could you do similar episode but on video games? Unless you already did, of course.

[@thisexists]

QVear Here's one we did a few weeks back! Kush, Klan, and the weirdest Mario Bros. hacks

[@UltimatePerfection]

This Exists I meant one about games that can kill.

[@thisexists]

Oh right, sorry - that would be super interesting. Good idea!

[@ThrottleKitty]

I'm pretty sure DOOM was attributed to a mass killing, but nothing was ever proved. In more recent history though, they've pretty much shown that video games do not make people crave violence, they just make people complacent with violence, which is not shown to have any link to violent tendencies.

[@UltimatePerfection]

Art Murder No, I meant game that LITERALLY kill you, not cause you to go on murder spree (that's a crazy thought). As in, one moment you're playing game and then you're dead (and not from playing it for too long and not eating).

[@harbingerentity]

THIS EXISTS should do an episode on all the films that have disturbed people to the point they fainted or had to leave the theatre. SALO, IRREVERSIBLE, etc.

[@jessiefox3739]

Idk I saw A Clockwork Orange over 300 times. If any movie could kill you it would be that movie. However, all it did was taught me how to speak Russian.

[@andrewmullins8533]

[@jessiefox3739]

Exactly

[@PoolDead]

+Jessie Fox Oh how that "Russian" hurt my ears when I watched that movie... I think it hit uncanny valley for me, the words were somewhat recognizable but oh so wrong...

[@GirtheAlienGoldfish]

+PoolDead It's not actual Russian, but Russian slang. It's weird.

[@PoolDead]

+GirtheAlienGoldfish It doesn't matter, it was similar enough to Russian to make me cringe every time they said one of those words. It was very similar to the usual Holywood Russian in that way )))

[@ShaneMcGraw]

The true "THIS EXISTS?" moment of this episode was John Wayne as Genghis Khan.

[@thebladezmanII]

I don't know, "Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny" just about killed me, even with Rifftrax...

[@drinantify]

I live in the UK and The Devils is extremely easy to get hold of over here, even being able to get the original, uncensored version on amazon. One thing that was missed out in the video was that when Avatar was released it caused several people to become severely depressed, even suicidal, due to the fact that they can't live on the films fictional planet of Pandora. That said, as far as I am aware, nobody actually did commit suicide from seeing the film.

[@thisexists]

drinantify Really? My understanding was that Warner had it all locked up - and that key scenes hadn't been properly archived, so we never get the full "rape of Christ." Interesting that the bootlegs are so easy to get! Also interesting point re: Avatar, I remember that being in the news. So strange.

[@drinantify]

This Exists Okay, I've done some research and here's what I found: 1)While the full "rape of Christ" scene (along with some other cut footage) was thought to be completely lost or destroyed at first, it was found in 2002 by critic Mark Kermode. 2)It turns out it's the original UK X rated cinematic thats easy to get on amazon, but that version is nowhere near as heavily censored as the US version. Also included in the 2 disc edition in the UK is the documentary Hell On Earth, which contains the "rape of Christ" scene in it entirety. 3)The fully restored 117 minute version that includes the full "rape of Christ" scene, along with the other cut footage, is legal in the UK and has had several screenings at film festivals in the UK. Hope you found this interesting. Also, your videos are absolutely awesome and I can't believe you have less than 100k subscribers.

[@stockvillain]

[@TheHaruyumi]

It has been also speculated though that the great amount of people who were making The Conqueror getting cancer could be at least partially fault of the smoking habits, since back then, especially in film industry, people smoked an awful lot.

[@egpmh2891]

There is a College Professor I once had that asked his students every year does art and entertainment influence life or does life influence art and entertainment, only one person ever got the question right when they pointed out that both influence each other so in a way yes art/entertainment can kill yet people can inspire what we see and hear just the same way.

[@infinightmoon6268]

+Kyle Riggs Only one? That's kind of pathetic... I would think that answer was obvious...

[@Mattteus]

'Rich guy from Ace Ventura' is Udo Kier who was in Argento's Suspiria as well as six von Trier films. I'll watch a movie just because he's in it!

[@jamietie]

A film that kills is at the center of the plot (well, -ish) of "Infinite Jest." The movie in question is so entertaining that viewers lose interest in anything other than watching it, and eventually die. Of course, David Foster Wallace was trying to make a grander point about the American craze for passive entertainment, but it fits really well with the idea of a movie (or song) killing you. Highly recommended, and it's really quite funny-though not so funny that I died or anything.

[@thisexists]

***** I'd be lying if I said I'd read beyond DFW non-fiction collections. In fact, Infinite Jest is staring back at me from my shelf right now, judging me. That might be the push I need. Feel silly having not included it! Thanks.

[@jamietie]

[@johnsmithe1875]

[@_Charlotte_L42]

The second he said the death by laughter thing I thought of the Monty Python joke skit X3

[@thisexists]

Charlotte Lola Was hard not to include the entire skit but that would be roughly the length of the episode.

[@prettybarf]

Lmao I knew about the conqueror from the cinema snob episode, I even paused the video just for the chance to say "is that the movie where john wayne plays genghis khan on a set near a nuclear testing plant?" out loud

[@1kili2]

i believe movies can indeed make ppl kill really unlikely if youre mentally healty but specially if you suffer from some kind paranoia or you are easely influenced well than it just could happen

[@TheTomgunn]

I thought this episode would be about stuff like people getting epilepsy attacks during a movie and dying.

[@TonyVoodooX]

Boondox is on the Psychopathic label. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abaddon_(Boondox_album)

[@akiratoons]

Well, I think a movie could turn someone into a murderer only if the movie would create such intense emotions and hatred in someone's mind that he turns insane and goes on a rampage. But, of course, such a movie does not exist; and I hope it won't ever exist. Movies do create emotions, but at that intensity, it would be very hard to achieve.

[@callithome1963]

0:25 my fav movie director ever is Argento and my fav movie ever is Suspiria (the one on my shirt XD) 😂😂😂

[@ZombieDragQueen]

First of all I'd like to thank you for the book recommendation. Ken Russell's "The Devils" is a favourite film (and God knows you have to search high and wide for a version as uncut as possible). Michael Gothard's portrayal as Father Barre is so over the top manic and religiously devotional it almost overshadows the nuns' behaviour. I wouldn't however say that Russell was affected that much negatively. "The Devils" was his break-through feature and after that he made "Tommy" for The Who, the "biopics" "Lisztomania" and "Valentino", the brilliant "Altered States" and the underrated "Gothic". Now on to the topic. Unfortunately the "Matrix defense" works, which sets a precedence. Tonda Lynn Ansley (Hamilton, Ohio) was found not guilty by reason of insanity after claiming she thought her landlord was part of a conspiracy to brainwash and kill her (in July 2002), reasoning that she was in the Matrix. She was not the only one to try to pull that defense off. What is more troubling is that philosophers agree that we, our universe might be a simulation, a sort of "The Sims" (NY Times article "Is The Universe A Simulation?", February 14th, 2014, among other articles of this sort). I say troubling because the penal code and judicial system are faced with this huge issue regarding free will, determinism and pure insanity. How are they equipped to handle it? Also let's not forget the many horses that died during the racing scenes of "Ben Hur" (the original one from 1925) and "The Charge of The Lightning Brigade". Back then it was a bad time to be a horse in Hollywood. The original "Ben Hur" also featured a sea battle where the director used extras that were pro- and anti-fascists to create real tension and animosity and gave them sharpened prop swords to fight with. He also set one of the ships on fire, sending the extras diving for their lives and re-appearing days later (probably to cash their check and spit in the eye of the director, I can only guess). "Casablanca" director Michael Curtiz filmed in 1928 "Noah's Ark" the Biblical narrative. When it came to the flood scene he failed however to inform the cast that he'd drop gallons of water over them without any precautions. The star Dolores Costello caught a severe case of pneumonia, another actor broke his ribs and according to a stuntman three extras drowned and one had to have his leg amputated. So I would say that yes, movies can kill you, if you star in them and the director is batshit rat house insane who tortures his cast (coughHitchcockKubrikcough) or just plain negligence (the original wicked witch in "The Wizard of Oz" got skin burns or something and had to be hospitalized from the green paint they used on her skin). If you're just watching them however, well just make sure you've got your heart attack pills near. You don't want to die during a Animal Planet documentary of a jump scare of a cheetah attacking a gazelle.

[@thisexists]

Stefan B. Really great stuff here. Thanks, Stefan.

[@royveldboom7266]

If my life is a simulation then my programmer must be a sadist.

[@ZombieDragQueen]

Roy Veldboom Or maybe the executives told the programmer to hold off certain features so they can sell them as DLC/expansion packages later on. Or maybe try a user mod to enhance or change the experience (ie drugs?) even though they are often buggy and you end up having to reinstall the whole thing because of misplaced critical .dll files and what not. Hey EA, why can't we have swimmingpools in The Sims 4 and the possibility to drown babies in them? Do we have to wait for the swimmingpool expansion pack?

[@jackgrattan1447]

Stefan B. Some clarification on THE WIZARD OF OZ. Wicked Witch actress Margaret Hamilton was burned while dropping through the trapdoor during her exit in the Munchkin Land sequence. The green makeup also took months to fully disappear (it stained her skin). It was original TIN MAN Buddy Ebsen who almost died from the makeup they used on him. He was severely allergic to the aluminum dust in the makeup. Oh, and CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE was also directed by Mike Curtiz. Great director. Not so great human being.

[@ZombieDragQueen]

Jack Grattan Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering how Curtiz could get away with those things. I think part of it was that back then the director didn't have a huge status. It was largely the producers and studios who had the top spot while the director was more or less on the same level as the script writer. This in stark contrast to European cinema. We all know classics like Casablanca and Gone With The Wind or The Wizard of Oz, but can anyone name their directors? It was mainly late 40's-early 50s directors started to gain more status and seen as artists. So I think if studios searched for extras for a Curtiz directed film it's unlikely people would say "no way! That's the guy who killed horses and drowned people" upon hearing who the director was. Nowadays if you're to be an extra in a, say, Michael Bay film you know what to expect: you're the guy that peeks out the window of a tall building that a Transformer will explode and then teabag its ashes.

[@gummy6489]

i got this comment from a "top 20 lost horror movies" list, but it still fits p well. Awesome list, but I feel like you guys missed a BIG one here: A film called "La Rage du Démon (Fury of the Demon)" made in 1897 supposedly made people go insane upon its initial release. It was apparently created by one of the greatest filmmakers/illusionists of our time Georges Méliès, however, many people believe that it was actually a forgery crafted by one of Melies’ pupils, someone who was obsessed with magic and the occult named Sicarious. Regardless, they showed the film back to back with another movie directed by Tod Browning (Freaks (1932) and Dracula (1931)) called "Miracles for Sale"; however, they played "La Rage du Démon" first, and what followed was an audience going absolutely insane in a fit of mass-hysteria. People apparently ripped their hair out and fought each other, and a fire broke out in the theater as well, killing 6 people. Just recently in 2012, a rare film collector named Edgar Allen Wallace got a hold of the film and decided to screen it for a group of film scholars and critics for the very first time since its first release; and once again, people went absolutely insane and violence broke out upon watching it. There is actually a documentary about the film under the same name that is premiering at a bunch of film festivals at the moment, and they even got the chance to interview some of the audience members from the very first screening in 1939. If anyone is at all interested, you can read an article on the documentary and the film itself here: www.blumhouse.com/2016/07/22/can-viewing-this-film-really-cause-you-to-go-insane/ or you can visit the film's imdb page here: www.imdb.com/title/tt4161438/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 There has not been a release date for the documentary as of yet, but it is said to be coming out very soon, so keep your eye out for it

[@CousinsandWe]

I think people use movies as an excuse, to avoid responsibility. People have also used video games to blame murder and death.

[@mirhamalexander3205]

I think that it's not the movie itself that would hypothetically drive you to kill, but instead the mental stability of the person watching it. There are some truly screwed up people in the world that can't separate reality from fiction.

[@tatjanareithofer1403]

Well, yes and no. It's kind of looking back at the "Can Music make you want to commit suicide?" video you made. In a way. All I can say is that the movie has to be pretty compelling to drive you to kill. So, it's not too far fetched. Just depends on how real you make the movie seem.

[@MacrossSD]

@ 5:11 neither, really. The cases cited (The Ten Commandments, Queen of the Damned, and "The Matrix" defense) were all cases of people who were already disturbed. The moves were at most a catalyst for what they did, perhaps giving them that one last little shove out the door of reality, but they had already checked out long before then. As for the "died laughing" or "died of excitement" examples in A Fish Called Wanda and Avatar, there's more of a direct causal link IMO, in that the people would not have died *at that moment* had they not been watching the movie. They probably had preexisting medical conditions, but ones that were aggravated by the adrenaline, in much the same way that reputable theme parks warn people with heart conditions or other medical problems to not ride their roller coasters.

I am not joking on this one, the Twilight movie has killed two people, one was in a movie theater who went to watch it and just died in his seat. The other one was a girl at Comic Con 2012, she ran into traffic to meet the stars of the show / movie. She was launched 50 feet and I didn't think you can guess where I'm going with this.

[@MurzMKII]

In my opinion, crazy people are crazy people no matter what. I don't think it is fair to blame a movie because of what it inspired someone to do. Blaming or censoring media because of how someone MAY interpret it is wrong. Now, it is absolutely true that any form of art has the ability to bring out great emotions and feelings, but how are we to know what one of millions of people will take out of any particular movie, show, song, etc.? However, it would certainly be interesting if someone had made a movie with the intent of inspiring murder. Are people easily manipulated enough that it would actually work? I'm under the impression that it have to do with how well it is presented, but I wonder if films that are supposed to be used as some sort of propaganda are effective at all.

[@Tinachanificated]

Pier Paolo Passonili, the director of the shock-art movie "salò e le 120 giornate de sodoma" was killed a month or so after the premiere.

Even though the film hasn't come out yet, the Emoji movie's trailer has already given over 4 million people cancer, thankfully, I haven't watched the trailer yet, and never will.

I'm pretty sure there are some videos that have caused people to kill themselves or (try to) murder the creator(s) of the video. That would be because they all suck so bad.

Well I suppose that depends on your perspective, is what influences someones psychosis responsible for that influence? I mean I've seen the ten commandments and I didn't get influenced to harm any women, but I'm capable of separating what's on a screen from reality. Not everyone has that capability, and it's nearly impossible for a normal person to predict what may or may not influence someone who's suffering a break from reality. From the affected persons perspective it was the movie that convinced them killing and/or dying was a good idea but someone else would probably see it as them being crazy.

The Devils is impossible to see? Except the award winning director endorsed double DVD of the longest existing version put out by the British Film Institute a couple of years ago. And the Spanish DVD of the butchered American cut which was released about five years ago. And the crappy USA bootleg from around the same time. And various VHS editions from around the world. And the many prints of various cuts available for cinema showings.
