I think the most terrifying scene is when coraline is finally getting back to her regular house, and she is desperately trying to crawl through the bouncing tunnel, and the other mother is banging on the little door behind her, each time she does getting closer and closer, literally warping the fabric of space to get closer to coraline every time she bangs on that little door

Fun fact: the book almost wasn't published. His editor said it was going to traumatize kids, so he asked her to read it to her daughter and see if it was too scary. The girl said she was enjoying it every night, and they got through the whole book and she said it wasn't scary so the book was published. Many years later, Neil got to talk to her about the book and she said she was absolutely terrified the whole time but wanted to know what was next, so she lied because she was worried that they'd stop reading the book if she said it was terrifying. The book got published because a kid lied about how scary it was.

The story shows how abusers, manipulators, and predatory people operate in a very impactful way.

Honestly, this movie is a prime example of why children's horror is so fascinating.

Most horror tends to lean on death and gore, some giant monster that wants to eat you or whatever. You can't really do death in a kid's movie, so you have to come up with a workaround, which inevitably leads to a threat that's infinitely more fucked up than just getting stabbed in the woods

[logangantner]

Coraline advocates stranger danger mindset in kids better than any PSA.

It’s quite telling how Wyborn is supposed to be a goofy name when this released, but in 2022 I can imagine a lot of parents naming their child that

[CandiCow]

Fun fact: My sister went to collage where Coralline took place once her and her boyfriend drove by a big pink apartment complex and they both said ‘isn’t that where coralline lives?’ So yes, the Pink Palace actually does exist but no one lives there (it was based off the apartment complex) but it isn’t called The Pink Palace. It’s a very cool town loved visiting her there! Oh right…the cult there…if you go downtown and see people wearing all white *RUN* .

i read the book when i was 8 or 9. didn’t really understand it, but it was still pretty scary. reading it back, movie coraline had it EASY. book coraline didn’t have wybie, she was basically facing the other mother alone with nothing but her wits, a semi-helpful cat, and a little rock with a hole in it

[doot]

Other Father apologizing over and over for hurting Coraline before letting her take the eye will always fuck me up, I tear up a bit every time because the implications that he has no free will, knows he is doing bad, doesn't want to, but has no control over it is chilling. It's honestly such a short scene but it's super impactful and it's stuck with me since I was a kid.

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Coraline's parents are actually very realistic and not even bad parents. They are super busy and once they meet their deadline, they are more available. This is told through Coraline's perspective, but her parents really do love her and care. I agree with a few other comments, it's a stressful time.

Wybie was a character made just for the movie as Coraline in the book is basically alone and that's surprisingly much scarier, so they did try to tone it down a bit..but Neil Gaiman really did write quite a terrifying story

[AtlasBlizzard]

I love Coraline's parents, they're very real depictions of overworked, stressed-out parents trying to make ends meet. The fact that people even today are debating whether they treated Coraline well or not just goes to show how well-developed they are.

I watched this in the cinema when I was like 8 and when it ended I remember not being able to unclench my jaw or my hands that were clawed to the couch out of sheer terror. I had watched horror movies before, but none of them messed with the most sacred thing to a child: your parents and the safety they give you.

[hrb]

"All Coraline had to do to solve all of her problems was to wait three days"
I think THAT'S the point.

[Yamismol]

Cinema Therapy does a great job at explaining the difference between her real parents and the other parents. She feels neglected by her real parents, but at least her life is safe. Not to mention, the neglect isn’t really permanent. It’s a stressful time, just moved, having a deadline. How they treat Coraline throughout the movie is just a small reflection on them throughout her entire life. The other mother however uses Coraline being upset about feeling neglected to get her to trust her. The other mother is a pretty good representation of manipulative parents, being so sweet and giving their kids all they can want so when it comes time to the abuse, the kids feel conflicted. Yes they hurt them but, they also do all this awesome stuff for them. They are blinded by the attention they don’t see the danger.

I legitimately loved this movie as a kid. I loved the scary and macabre my entire childhood. My mother's always said they should have named me Wednesday. My church hosted a trunk n' treat for Halloween one year and I volunteered to help at one of the games stalls. They asked us not to dress TOO scary since we'd have a lot of very youngins, so I dressed as Coraline, so only children who enjoyed scary things would really get it. I remember hearing this tiny child's voice behind me go.. "Coraline?" And she asked to take a photo with me. Couldn't have been more than 10. It's a fantastic movie. And book. It may not be good for every kid, but I feel like we should be less reserved about showing children non-gory non-sexy things. I wanted to watch a lot of thrillers that just weren't feasible for my parents to show a 10-year-old.

[brendan]

One thing I don’t think people talk about enough is that even when the “other mother” transforms into her real form she stays with Coraline’s moms voice instead of changing to her own.

Just think about how horrifying that actually is

[jonasquinn]

To be fair to Coraline’s parents it’s strongly implied that they usually are fun, loving parents it’s just that their lives are currently going through a rough patch that they need to sort out

[Jah_LEASE_yah]

The reason there aren’t more stop motion films is because they take literally years to make. Every second of the movie has to be reset 24 times. Stop motions animators are icons. They put their blood sweat and tears into those movies.

I was 9 and saw this in theatres with my younger cousin and my grandma. I was petrified once things went dark, AND here I am 23 years old and watching old scenes from this movie still gives me physical tension and anxiety. The nightmares I had after that movie I was traumatized for so long :(

[noone]

i was absolutely obsessed with this movie as a kid. maybe to a weird extent. id watch it over and over and try to memorize every single frame. then i saw like, the behind the scenes DVD where the writers and creators explained how it was all made and i thought i had just struck gold man so i started watching THAT over and over and over. then i excitedly showed it to my cousins and all of them were scared shitless of it and i, as a 6 year old got a stern talking to from my aunt. yep, good times
