SAMMY

General

I spend most of my time in things that feel wrong in the best way. My interests live in the uncanny — horror, paranormal media, and stories that linger in your head long after they end. Analog horror is my favorite. The Smile Tapes, The Walten Files, and anything that feels like a corrupted memory or a broken broadcast. I’m obsessed with The Backrooms — endless spaces, quiet fear, and the feeling that you’re not alone even when you are. I’m drawn to extreme and taboo horror concepts too — stories about cannibalism, body horror, and humans crossing lines they shouldn’t. Not for shock value, but because they explore how fragile people really are when fear takes over. I like horror that feels too real, too quiet, or too close. The kind that doesn’t scream — it watches. If it’s creepy, paranormal, disturbing, or feels like a cursed VHS tape, I already love it.

Music

My music taste is just as strange as everything else about me. I love songs that sound off, unhinged, or like they came from a broken memory. I listen to Sodikken and egg for the chaos — loud feelings, distorted emotions, and lyrics that feel like spiraling thoughts. Jack Stauber is a huge favorite too; his music feels like smiling too long, like something cheerful rotting underneath. It’s comforting in a way that’s hard to explain. I love baby bugs for the raw emotion and eerie softness — songs that feel small, angry, sad, and strange all at once. Music that sounds like it crawled out of a dark corner of the internet is my favorite kind. And Visual Kei owns my soul. The dramatic sound, the horror aesthetics, the emotion turned up too loud — it feels alien in the best way. Screaming guitars, theatrical vocals, beauty mixed with something disturbing. It feels like home. If a song sounds creepy, glitchy, dramatic, or emotionally unstable, I’m already listening.

Movies

Movies are where I go to feel uncomfortable on purpose. I love horror in all forms — especially films that make your stomach drop without needing to explain why. Psychological horror, found footage, and anything that feels wrong or cursed are my favorites. I’m drawn to movies that push boundaries and test how far humans can go when fear takes over. Stories about isolation, obsession, loss of identity, and taboo subjects stick with me the longest. If a movie feels disturbing, slow, or hard to watch — I probably loved it. I like horror that doesn’t rely on jumpscares, but instead makes you sit with the fear. Long silences. Uncomfortable scenes. The feeling that something awful is coming but never fully shows itself. I also love horror that feels low-quality on purpose — grainy footage, old cameras, distorted audio. Movies that feel like they shouldn’t exist, like you weren’t meant to see them. If it’s unsettling, controversial, or leaves you feeling empty afterward, it’s my kind of movie.

Television

When it comes to shows, I’m drawn to anything that feels off, disturbing, or like it’s hiding something beneath the surface. I love series that slowly unravel instead of explaining everything right away — the kind that leave you confused, uneasy, and thinking about them at 2 a.m. I’m really into analog horror–style shows and web series. Stuff like The Walten Files and The Smile Tapes feels personal somehow, like you’re watching something you weren’t meant to find. Corrupted visuals, fake PSAs, distorted voices — it all feels familiar in a way I can’t explain. I also love shows with dark themes, psychological horror, and uncanny characters. Anything involving strange creatures, hidden experiments, liminal spaces, or people slowly losing their grip on reality instantly has my attention. I like when horror takes its time and lets the discomfort build. If a show feels like a cursed recording, a broken broadcast, or something that’s watching you back — it’s already one of my favorites.

Books

Books are where I disappear the easiest. I love stories that feel uncomfortable, cursed, or psychologically wrong. Horror novels, creepy short stories, and anything involving the paranormal always pull me in more than normal fiction ever could. I’m especially drawn to books about haunted places, strange creatures, unexplained events, and people slowly losing their sense of reality. I like when the horror is quiet and creeping — when the author lets the fear build instead of rushing it. I love stories that feel like found documents, journal entries, case files, or warnings. Books that make it seem like you’re uncovering something forbidden, something you weren’t meant to read. The kind where the setting feels alive and watching. Psychological horror and disturbing concepts interest me more than action or romance. I like books that explore fear, obsession, isolation, and the darker parts of the human mind. If a story leaves me unsettled long after I close it, it did its job. If it’s eerie, paranormal, or feels like a secret someone buried on purpose, I want to read it.
