Insidious/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hell Is That Noise: TIPTOE TO THE WINDOW, BY THE WINDOW, THAT'S WHERE IIIII'LL BE! COME TIPTOE... THROUGH THE TULIPS... WITH MEEEEEE!
    • As well as the cracking sound that always accompanies the demon.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Fireface sharpening his claws.
    • Both scenes that use aforementioned "Tiptoe through the Tulips".
    • The Red Faced Demon. 'Nough said.
    • The old lady is freaking creepy.
  • Narm / Nightmare Retardant: The viral marketing for the movie had an Alternate Reality Game called Voice From The Further, about a blog maintained by a woman who also mysteriously fell into a coma as a small child and is now trying to discover what happened to her. Some parts are genuinely creepy, mentioning ill-spirited ghosts and figures like The Redfaced Man, but then let down by obvious photoshop jobs and amateur video. Case in point.
    • The Big Bad looks like Darth Maul in a bad toupée.
    • The hula-dance scene.
    • When Josh defeats the ghost before entering the red door, it looks like he did a Hadouken..
    • A lot of people thought the gas mask was funny rather than eerie, same with the little dancing kid
    • Tiptoe Through the Tulips made some scenes more funny than scary.
    • The smiling family sequence cannot be taken seriously.
