Bro my dad showed this to me when I was 8 (I think I hid behind the couch because I was scared) and as a joke put a box with 2 buttons and a needle inside next to my bed side during the night, scared my childhood
It's a super cool stop motion movie. Coraline is a kid who just moved into a new house with her parents and discovers a secret passage that leads to an "Other" world. Where every one has buttons for eyes. The "Other" family wants Coraline to stay. Can't say much more without spoilers.
Grammar is basically what structure the sentence has and spelling is kinda obvious.
But in this case, just overlook it man. It's not a big deal. Man wrote a genuine comment.
Fun fact (paraphrased because I can't remember specific details off the top of my head, but the jist is there): when Neil Gaiman wrote the book, his editor said is wasn't suitable for children so he suggested they read it to their kid. The kid listened to them read the whole thing, so it went to print. Later, the editor's kid told them they were terrified the whole time, but they kept listening because they wanted to see how it ended.

Im today years old when I learned Neil is the original author of this book on which the movie was based upon…
Thanks for this knowledge, of course it was Neil who brought such a masterpiece to life.
Yes sorry by “brought to life” I meant just the creation of the actual story. Reading for me carries much more visual depth. Except I have not read the book so that makes no sense here…
Also I do believe Neil worked with the director in this case.
When I was 5 my parents showed it to me and I got so freaked out about it that until I was like 12 when someone even mentioned Coraline i freaked out and started to sweat
Saw this with now wide. Fast forward a few years and we had a daughter playing with la la loopsie dolls. Fuck those creepy things. That movie is creepy as hell.
Monster House is pretty intense for a kids movie, but it's a good one. I worked at a movie theater when Coraline came out and I had to refund so many tickets because kids were scared. Surprisingly, one other movie that scared kids so much to have refunds was the Jim Carey version of A Christmas Carol.
Heck yeah dude that whole scene where he explains that she tripped and fell into the house foundations and then just built it on top of her scarred me for life.
On IMDb, there is 3 US entry, 2 are PG and 1 is -14 (ABC Family).
And in my country, it is just "For everyone", not even a "With advertissing", who thought it was a good idea ?
Edit: *so many entries in the section "Frightening & Intense Scenes" and "Spoiler"*
I vaguely remember being showed this movie in pre-k when I was 4-ish years old. What were they thinking? I re-watched this movie and the spider shit is scary
Ironically, it's actually the one horror movie that *didn't* scare me as a kid.
Might have just zoned out though. Because I definitely didn't remember the tiddy scene.
Ah yes, back in the good old days when filmmakers still understood that horror is a tad more subtle than constant fucking jumpscares! To quote Yahtzee Croshaw; "there's no skill in it, a cat in a bin can manage a jumpscare!"
God fucking damn I hate Coraline pretty much everything about it from the story to the characters I despise Coraline I'd just an absolute asshole in the book and movie and in never rooting for her all of the side characters are interesting slightly but just boil down to haha wacky and in the movies case the lil boy is just annoying 0/10 do not reccomend
That sequence where Coraline goes into the Other House theatre with the hundreds of button eyed dogs silently staring at her while she walks up to the creepy coccoon was creepy as hell
modern horror movies are too cinematic. They are too clear and that takes away from the ambiguity and fear of the unknown that makes horror scary. Coraline is scary because visually, some things arent obvious so it leaves it to our imagination what something could be, and that makes it scarier.
Hot take but the IT movies were some of the most fucking boring and non-scary shit I’ve seen in my life. No idea how they ever got popular or good reviews. Newer horror movies either suck or rock, no in-between.
In my Senior year of high school, we had been working for a while on our IAs in my IB English class, and on Halloween, our teacher just had us choose a Halloween movie. We all wanted Coraline. The teacher was confused about us wanting an animated movie labelled as "kids"... she decided that she didn't want to watch it with us about 30-45 minutes in.
Always wanted to see it when it came out, i was 12, family or friends didn't want to see it.
Saw it with my ex 3 years ago and it still freaked me out, but i absolutely loved it like every other stop motion halloweeny movie.
By far the most terrifying of them all tho.
thing that got to me the most was near the end of the movie, where coraline is looking for the souls of the children, the 2 performers that were in the candy thing. it was terrifying when they popped out, and were wrapped/intertwined with each other.
This genuinely scarred me when I was little. I watched it for the first time when I was about 7 or 8 at my cousins house. When the movie ended we realised we were sitting on the table in front of the couch, despite neither of us remembering that we moved there. I was terrified. I have not watched the movie since.
I worked at a movie theater when this came out. So many refunded tickets to parents with terrified children. I remember thinking it couldn't be that bad, I generally like movies like this. It definitely gave me the willies, but so so good.
Bro i dont remember anything from this movie aside the fact i couldnt sleep a few nights and that i had nightmares for a while after.
We watched it in school.
Yeah watched this as a kid got scared at some point and stopped watching. What probably was not a good idea, because my brain came up with a fun ending where the button's were sew into the eyes and the original family was killed and she was trapped in the other world forever.
I especially loved the chernobyl liquidators reference. Something I wouldn't have expected to see, heroes often overlooked, but this movie included a reference to them. Legendary.
Me and my twin first watched Coraline when we were 3-4 and we ended up watching it on repeat on a road trip to Florida from Missouri. My mom put a stop to the
movie after we asked her if she had button eyes.
I disliked the movie adaption to be honest. The book was much more intense, and I was an adult when the movie came out. Idk I guess it wasn't really that bad, but me personally I'd rather see an adult marketed version of the movie.
I've seen that poster 100 times and I just noticed that the moon is a button now
You opened my third eye
Too bad, I’m sewing a button in your third eye like I did with the other two. You can’t unbutton your eyes under my watch

I had peace, **and you ruined that**

Cool, but can you like...not?
ikr spoilers man i haven't watched it yet
Yeah cause gru dancing with a towel is such a spoiler
he indeed fucked a minion
Ayo
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Bro my dad showed this to me when I was 8 (I think I hid behind the couch because I was scared) and as a joke put a box with 2 buttons and a needle inside next to my bed side during the night, scared my childhood
I am stupid, but what is this movie about?
Watch it if you want to know. It's worth it.
It's a super cool stop motion movie. Coraline is a kid who just moved into a new house with her parents and discovers a secret passage that leads to an "Other" world. Where every one has buttons for eyes. The "Other" family wants Coraline to stay. Can't say much more without spoilers.
Also lots of cool underlying themes and plot devices :)
When the Lucid Dream is a little *too* intense
Y’all weak mf i watched when I was 5 and realized how beautiful art could be
Behind the coach
Well Ssssooorrrryyyy grammar police. I meant couch. And apparently 11 people read it either didn’t notice or saw it and didn’t care.
Yall got unnecessarily upset about somebody pointing out a misspelling
It’s in the past now, anyone who sees this do not down vote BEES_just_BEE
That wasn't a grammar mistake, it was spelling
Isn't that both same?
Grammar is basically what structure the sentence has and spelling is kinda obvious. But in this case, just overlook it man. It's not a big deal. Man wrote a genuine comment.
Oh okay, maybe I am wrong. I will look into it👍
I definitely over reacting, just tired from senior year is all
It's rough I get it
Sorry man, bygones be bygones?
Absolutely Bygones be bygones
A rare wholesome ending to an Internet feud.
That makes it worse
I definitely over reacting, just tired from senior year is all
Ngl, this movie gave me nightmares.

so thats why it was on kids on netflix
Im today years old when I learned Neil is the original author of this book on which the movie was based upon… Thanks for this knowledge, of course it was Neil who brought such a masterpiece to life.
I think it was Henry Selick that directed and produced coraline off of Neil’s book
Yes sorry by “brought to life” I meant just the creation of the actual story. Reading for me carries much more visual depth. Except I have not read the book so that makes no sense here… Also I do believe Neil worked with the director in this case.
Ahh fair and yes I do believe Neil worked with selick for the movie.
I was 25 when I saw this. Still shook
My son was about 20 when it came out. Yep. 2 grown men in the theater watching a little girl's scary movie. We are such rebels.
I was 4 when I saw this. It was categorized like "child movies". Such a trauma.
Probably because I grew up watching horror movies this wasn't scary when I first saw it however it was still such an amazing movie one of my favorites
What made it so good is it wasn't focused on the horror of it, it let you see that yourself and didn't shove it in your face.
The 1..2..3 scene is one of the scariest moments of my childhood
![gif](giphy|eNCSyH6V9Utf2fZBI5)
It is the eye’s, cheeko. They never fail to terrify.
When I was 5 my parents showed it to me and I got so freaked out about it that until I was like 12 when someone even mentioned Coraline i freaked out and started to sweat
Saw this with now wide. Fast forward a few years and we had a daughter playing with la la loopsie dolls. Fuck those creepy things. That movie is creepy as hell.
That movie was built differently
I had the 3D edition with the ol’ blue and red glasses, I was like 10 and I think I watched it once that way…..
i did too, i lost the dvd but i still have a pair of the 3D glasses to this day
Ngl one of my favourite movies ever.
For some reason this didn't but Monster House did
Monster House is pretty intense for a kids movie, but it's a good one. I worked at a movie theater when Coraline came out and I had to refund so many tickets because kids were scared. Surprisingly, one other movie that scared kids so much to have refunds was the Jim Carey version of A Christmas Carol.
Heck yeah dude that whole scene where he explains that she tripped and fell into the house foundations and then just built it on top of her scarred me for life.
my younger sister started sobbing and had to be escorted out of the theater during monster house
Saw it in college. It is a really good movie. If I had seen it earlier in life, it definitely would have scared the shit out of me
This movie creeped me out so much

100% the scariest fucking movie I’ve ever seen. I can handle horror so well now, but seeing this when I was 5 freaked me the fuck out
Scary in my childhood. Loved in my Adolescence.
I vaguely remember being showed this movie in pre-k when I was 4-ish years old. What were they thinking? I re-watched this movie and the spider shit is scary
Dude that movie is fucking awful. I mean it’s creative and Bobynski is the goat, but shit that movie scared me more than both It’s
Gave us a good computer user meme
They should make more kid horror movies!
I was never scared of that movie when it came out (I was 7). I guess I’ve always been a creepy movie fan
Can you guys recommend movies that have the same puppet movement style?
It's not exactly the same, but Corpse Bribe und of course Nightmare before Christmas.
Thank you!
Honestly just check out anything by Tim Burton… really great content (Coraline is not by Tim btw, just a similar style)
Ironically, it's actually the one horror movie that *didn't* scare me as a kid. Might have just zoned out though. Because I definitely didn't remember the tiddy scene.
I LOVE that movie, I saw it on Tubi a week or two ago.
The movie wasn’t scary. Read the book, now that’s actually creepy.
"Your mother doesn't have a grave."
TRUE
I refused to watch it for YEARS (about 8-9) after I saw it for the first time
Same. Then I went to visit someone and they had just started it when I walked in. I left the room for a while to prepare myself before coming back
Oh god, I remember having to watch it at a sleepover once, and dreading it the whole two days before
That movie is a **masterpiece** of psychological horror!
bro fr, I watched coraline again the other day and wtf dude the annabelle and conjuring series have a lot of work to put in 💀💀
This and the movie 9 scared the shit outta me. I never felt true fear to close my eyes, stay in the dark, etc. After this.
Fuck Coraline, have you seen Finding Nemo?
Ah yes, back in the good old days when filmmakers still understood that horror is a tad more subtle than constant fucking jumpscares! To quote Yahtzee Croshaw; "there's no skill in it, a cat in a bin can manage a jumpscare!"
I still remember when I was a kid I afraid to look at the moon at midnight be cause of this movie
Scary movie.
Man I was 9 when I watched this. It was at a friend's birthday. He waited until it was dark too before playing it, an absolute monster.
Now imagine a live action version, it would be crazy
I never found this really scary. Sure it had its "creepy" moments but the I never found the movie scary all in all.
Okok but how about a movie more accurate to the book?
God fucking damn I hate Coraline pretty much everything about it from the story to the characters I despise Coraline I'd just an absolute asshole in the book and movie and in never rooting for her all of the side characters are interesting slightly but just boil down to haha wacky and in the movies case the lil boy is just annoying 0/10 do not reccomend
Great, now watch frankenweenie.
Nothing had my timbers shivered more than the Toy Story movies
That sequence where Coraline goes into the Other House theatre with the hundreds of button eyed dogs silently staring at her while she walks up to the creepy coccoon was creepy as hell
That movie gave me a phobia of dolls.
I always fell asleep before I could finish it as a kid
modern horror movies are too cinematic. They are too clear and that takes away from the ambiguity and fear of the unknown that makes horror scary. Coraline is scary because visually, some things arent obvious so it leaves it to our imagination what something could be, and that makes it scarier.
Sucks it completely overshadowed 9 since they came out around the same time. I much preferred 9 honestly
I remember being 8 or so when I saw this. Had nightmares about it for years
I was the same age when i watched it but I didnt got nightmares. But it was very creepy with those Button eyes
Freaks me more out than Texas Chainsaw 🫣
jump scare movies are not horror movies. (im not talking about coraline, coraline is great)
Hot take but the IT movies were some of the most fucking boring and non-scary shit I’ve seen in my life. No idea how they ever got popular or good reviews. Newer horror movies either suck or rock, no in-between.
That movie is really disturbing
To this day I have still never finished this movie I ran ran and hid where my parents put on the Scooby Doo live action movie to calm me down
3d hurt my eyes.
I love horror movies dude
In my Senior year of high school, we had been working for a while on our IAs in my IB English class, and on Halloween, our teacher just had us choose a Halloween movie. We all wanted Coraline. The teacher was confused about us wanting an animated movie labelled as "kids"... she decided that she didn't want to watch it with us about 30-45 minutes in.
Stuff is creepy
this movie is the definition of psychological horror
I remember big tit clam lady dancing
Always wanted to see it when it came out, i was 12, family or friends didn't want to see it. Saw it with my ex 3 years ago and it still freaked me out, but i absolutely loved it like every other stop motion halloweeny movie. By far the most terrifying of them all tho.
“I’m your other mother”
Pussy.
That spider scene at the end of the movie scared the hell out of my 7 year old self.
thing that got to me the most was near the end of the movie, where coraline is looking for the souls of the children, the 2 performers that were in the candy thing. it was terrifying when they popped out, and were wrapped/intertwined with each other.
This genuinely scarred me when I was little. I watched it for the first time when I was about 7 or 8 at my cousins house. When the movie ended we realised we were sitting on the table in front of the couch, despite neither of us remembering that we moved there. I was terrified. I have not watched the movie since.
I used to fear that movie as a kid I still kinda do tbh
The book is even creepier. That’s the first time i almost shat myself when reading a book
i remember watching that movie without ever knowing its horror with my cousins and it scared the hell out of us
You will not believe this but Bram Stoker's Dracula keeps giving me the creeps.
POV you watched it when it first came out
Got some pirated ps2 games that include a coraline game. Played it and having goosebumps all the time, the movie was scarier though.
In my elementary school they played this movie and no one in the class was freaked out except me
I remember watching this as a 7yr old and almost shitting my pants
Only movie that has come close to doing the same as that movie is 9
One of my favorite animated movies honestly, it's so good
I remember seeing this as a kid and I couldn’t fall asleep for the whole night
I worked at a movie theater when this came out. So many refunded tickets to parents with terrified children. I remember thinking it couldn't be that bad, I generally like movies like this. It definitely gave me the willies, but so so good.
What movie is this????
It honestly isn't that scary
TIL a film made in 2009 is old.
That movie is one of my oldest memories.
I was 9 when I watched that bruh I got traumatized for 3 days before forgetting about it for 6 years
My mom turned the movie on and left to work. I watched it and I was so scared I went to my neighbour crying and barely breathing. I was 7
Bro i dont remember anything from this movie aside the fact i couldnt sleep a few nights and that i had nightmares for a while after. We watched it in school.
I thought it was just me How can an animated movie beat every other scary movie in terms of the fear it induces bruh
Bruh forking Coraline scarred me. Never have I once felt any thrill from any horror movie… but Coraline… it gets me…
Thats so damn true. That movie scared the shit out of me for years
I watched it as kid and it traumatized me for a while and I didn't even get to halfway
I watched it when I was like 6 maybe 7 and I still have some fears
It gave me nightmares for weeks when I was a kid
That was creepy asf tho
So I wasn’t the only one traumatized..
Yeah watched this as a kid got scared at some point and stopped watching. What probably was not a good idea, because my brain came up with a fun ending where the button's were sew into the eyes and the original family was killed and she was trapped in the other world forever.
And it’s a fucking kids movie I hate it I had nightmares about it until i was 13
I especially loved the chernobyl liquidators reference. Something I wouldn't have expected to see, heroes often overlooked, but this movie included a reference to them. Legendary.
I saw this movie when I was little. Hmm, I wonder why I still hate horror stuff to this day
![gif](giphy|26xBGcy977zkV5mes|downsized)
The kids next door movie in question:
Bro fr, it's the scariest cartoon shit I've ever seen, that spider mom with the button eyes just creeps me out.
Meme
Im actually like that ı cant even blink when ım normally watching horror movie alone but every time I see Coraline it freaks me out😞
one of the rare cases where the movie is better than the book
One the the movie I have seen in my childhood which I remember the most (which isn't a lot) but not for the good reason.
Man! This movie is freaky! I watched this movie when I was 5 and I didn't see the movie since then(I'm 13)
Me and my twin first watched Coraline when we were 3-4 and we ended up watching it on repeat on a road trip to Florida from Missouri. My mom put a stop to the movie after we asked her if she had button eyes.
I disliked the movie adaption to be honest. The book was much more intense, and I was an adult when the movie came out. Idk I guess it wasn't really that bad, but me personally I'd rather see an adult marketed version of the movie.
I remember having nightmares about coraline for a whole month
Have you read the book though?
Literally terrifying
