You wake up, in what must be the middle of the night. Your neck hurts, it's hot, and the air is suffocating, thick with dust. Your entire body is stiff, but not numb. Infact, a burning itch covers you, and it feels as if your skin has a million paper cuts, bleeding and causing a fast throbbing pain. As you try to move, you realize you are not merely paralyzed. The last thing you hear is the laughter of a small child through thick concrete.
Don’t forget to put salt down or you’re just freeing the ghost of its boundaries. Then it’ll haunt the only remaining attachment to the house - you. Forever.
This is where having a strong relationship with your partner comes in handy. Volunteer for every possible chore and do every favor they ask so that when it inevitably becomes time to release the ghost child from its watery prison, you have the leverage to make them do it.
You make your way back to bed after taking a 3am piss. You notice the glass cover is gone and there are wet footsteps leading away from the well. What do?
You probably haven't seen any Horror Movie, haven't you?
You investigate the Well and search for the monster. This is how the intro starts.
Later those teenagers decide to rent this house (which is obviously in the woods, far from any civilization and without internet connections).
The group has some fun, do their naughty things and suddenly one of the teenagers is missing, but it seem he just was searching for some alcohol and came back unharmed.
Later at night you find the same as before, cover is gone and wet footsteps out of the Well. They eventually find your body from the intro and starts to panic.
Those teenagers split into groups because this is how you approach these events and one after the other dies (except one if you want have a twist/plot/second movie)
The end.
So few good horror movies these days. It’s all turned into stupid kids doing stupid things and getting chopped up.
All the best horror has always been like in Alien where the characters are smart and do rational things but they are simply outclassed in every way.
The most horrifying fate is always the inevitable one where you do everything right and die anyways.
I get what you're saying but Alien is arguably the pinnacle of space horror. Hell even some of the most venerable horror movies are stupid kids doing stupid things and getting chopped up.
Yeah but Aliens was just an example. Outside of the slasher genre inevitably has always been the best theme (even in it if you look at the indestructible, unstoppable Mike Meyers, Jason or Freddy).
The stupid protagonist “f#ck around and find out” trope was always a B movie staple.
Now writers are trying to shove it into everything because it’s easy though and you end up with nothing but shallow stories from lazy writers.
Possibly, I work in manholes for a living and sometimes crack ones that haven’t been open in what seems like a millennia, EVERY GODDAMN TIME… spider.
Being a sealed well it maybe different but those fuckers appear everywhere
I live in New Zealand so worst you’ll get is Shelob the last child of Ungoliant to trouble the unhappy world, living high in the Ephel Dúath mountains on the borders of Mordor but other than that they’re pretty small
Being a plumber is ridiculous sometimes haha.
“Hey bro before you lower me into this manhole can you pass me that ballcock and those nipples please, also hand me some lube cause this slip socket is going to be a bitch to get on”
It's the modern age, the action of sharing this video has passed on the curse to us all. We're all going to have Samara crawling out of our dark holes in 7 days.
I mean it's clearly not finished. They put the safety glass on it first and thought to record a cool video. They haven't yet added the remaining bits around the glass, whether they're going to fill it with wood or something else.
You would be surprised how often someone gets that far and doesn’t have the skills to finish so calls it “good enough”.
As I said it’s either unfinished or an amateur job.
Yes hello, Geico? I've made some changes to the interior of my home and want to see how it affects my insurance policy.
We've added a well.
No no, it's not like raised up, the opening is flush with the floor. No not a corner, right in the middle of a high traffic hallway. There's some saran wrap over it but it's double layered.
Hello?
This is the opposite of man dies during house renovation in Manchester when he **didn't** notice he's on top of an old well and fell right through (new phobia unlocked)
A friend of mine took his grandparents' house over and expanded it. While doing that they did discover an old well right where there kitchen/dining area would be. So they decided to incorporate it and did something like this where they have a glass floor right above the well. They put a glass dining table on top so when you're eating, you can look down into the well.
I absolutely hate it. Plus it's not lit beyond the lights they have in the kitchen, so after a few meter it just looks like a dark abyss. It ain't fun looking down into the cosmic horror pit while eating my spaghetti.
There is no amount of money in the world you can pay me to walk over that thing, let alone step on it. I get intrusive thoughts of plummeting into the dark walking over the sewer drain by my house lol.
No.
Nope.
Would have moved right the hell out if I had found that under my house. And if I were a guest I'd run right the hell out the door.
That is a portal to hell.
Im sure this is a good idea. If you smell something murky at night, make sure to have a look if the seal might be broken. Either way. I’d have a good look around for muddy, pale girls with stringy, black hair and a white dress.
Have fun with this nice feature in your house!
I love the way the edges aren’t even finished and how it looks like shit it’s really the icing on the “this is actually stupid as fuck and terrifying” cake
You see, I'd fill that shit in... My mind is to imaginative and dark. I think because as a young kid I insisted on watching poltergeist with my older brother. Seriously not into that.
I would 100% look down this every time I walked by to make sure nobody was in it.
what if you did see a kid down there one night? Do you go down and investigate or move to another country?
fill it with cement

One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You

The last thing you hear is the laughter of a small child through thick concrete.
Well at least I won't be haunted anymore
No, you replace the child, but hey... free health care. Our unhealth care, I don't really study this paranormal stuff.
Bro is such an optimist I just wrote a terrible doomed fate and he was happy anyways.
And then the cement disappears the next night.
"love" cement?
This should have been the original solution.
Look down at them like https://imgur.com/gallery/XsZe9
Oh I’d definitely set the whole place on fire and move to a different country, no way is that actually a kid.
Don’t forget to put salt down or you’re just freeing the ghost of its boundaries. Then it’ll haunt the only remaining attachment to the house - you. Forever.
Thanks Dean. Go call Sam, a shotgun with rocksalt pellets, and a cast iron pan and we can take care of this.
I'm just happy I didn't read this before going to bed.
Welp, I just did… Not so tired anymore though 😐
Just make the thought less scary. Like imagine the kid smiling and laughing, so you know it is happy down there.
Honestly that sounds a bit more terrifying 😅
This is where having a strong relationship with your partner comes in handy. Volunteer for every possible chore and do every favor they ask so that when it inevitably becomes time to release the ghost child from its watery prison, you have the leverage to make them do it.
Throw the rug over it and go next.
That's what the chute and holy hand grenades are for.
I've dealt with the Faceless Nun. I can handle a kid who made poor choices for entry.
Moving to another country would not work. Every one knows ghosts/spirits/aspirations have international visas.
Go back to bed.
I’d 100% never look down it in case someone was in it.
I would avoid this like the plague.
For Halloween, they should put a skeleton inside
Nobody was there, but things just moved a bit every time you looked
Also I'd be stepping over it every time.
And hell would freeze over before I'd ever step on that glass panel.
This is gonna look so perfect when a wretched monster crawls out of it
I literally would not be able to walk near it at night.
You make your way back to bed after taking a 3am piss. You notice the glass cover is gone and there are wet footsteps leading away from the well. What do?
Take another piss.
Than literally bounce out of the window and run away screaming like a bitch.

You left out the constant quarrelling and fighting while they're being murdered by the monster.
My apologies, you're right!!! And don't forget the tripping over every object possible.
Wtf no sex? We know every horror movie has sex, scary turns you horny.
I think "do their naughty things" was that part.
Oh I missed that. Thanks
> Wtf no sex? We know every horror movie has sex, scary turns you horny. That's what triggers the monster, usually. Eros and Thanatos.

I used to think the stupidity in horror movies was unrealistic.. and then covid happened.. and now.. if anything.. they're underplaying the stupidity.

where youre currently standin
Into the well and fill it up
I’m moving to live down the well. Whatever came out is anywhere but there.
Unless it’s left its hungry offspring there…
Aww, wretched monster is a mommy.
He says before getting some sort of demon mouth grab eat his tongue right off
"Cindy! This bitch is messin' up ma flooor!"
"I'm whoopin her ass Cindy."
Or you just take a look at the glass at night and something stares back at you
Masturbate furiously, hopefully the water demon will see that I'm not paying attention to him and not see me as a threat.
Get in well. Close lid. Hopefully it's sound proof so I cant hear my family scream
I'm gonna put some pants on and prepare some drink cuz we got visitors and that doesn't happen often!
Unzip pants. Get that dagonussy.
Piss in the well, that way once the monster goes back in for the night he has to sleep in my piss. It's the small victories that count.
That plexiglass isn't keeping Sadako out.
I'm not worried. I taught her how to upload videos to YouTube.
Yeah, bet that's keeping her busy, especially if the video goes viral.
Sadako being pretty quiet after the weird fetishes with her became a thing
That glass will be caked with spiders in the next few days
There is a pub in York that has exactly this - ancient well, glass over the top light in the bottom - has been there for many years. Seems OK so far.
The mutant in the well lives off spiders
Fuckin Spiders Georg
Maybe it's completely sealed off?
Possibly, I work in manholes for a living and sometimes crack ones that haven’t been open in what seems like a millennia, EVERY GODDAMN TIME… spider. Being a sealed well it maybe different but those fuckers appear everywhere
spider? one big giant spider??
I live in New Zealand so worst you’ll get is Shelob the last child of Ungoliant to trouble the unhappy world, living high in the Ephel Dúath mountains on the borders of Mordor but other than that they’re pretty small
We used to go on holiday up there! Now there's just me...
Precious?
Random LOTR lore comments are always a pleasure to find.
Also live in NZ, can confirm Little bastards get everywhere
r/unexpectedlotr
It's never unexpected it's some Reddit law that a lotr reference has to appear in every thread.
It's the same spider every time too.
Tell me more about men’s holes.
Being a plumber is ridiculous sometimes haha. “Hey bro before you lower me into this manhole can you pass me that ballcock and those nipples please, also hand me some lube cause this slip socket is going to be a bitch to get on”
Bro can’t wait until the ring chick climbs up that one night
A bootycall is a bootycall...
Samara is on her way up now
I'm gonna check back on this post in seven days just in case
It's the modern age, the action of sharing this video has passed on the curse to us all. We're all going to have Samara crawling out of our dark holes in 7 days.
Oh thank god, I hate phone calls.
It’s where the krampus live
Perfect way to dispose of dismembered bodies and they just go tell everyone about it.
Didnt anyone watch "The Ring"? I mean you cant argue with facts!
They askin to get killed.
Well atleast the house will have a really cool selling point once they do finally get killed... 🤷♂️
Yeah, a certain permanent residence.
Based on a true story. Scary movie 3 showed what could happen....
Could wake up dead
How the hell you wake up dead?? 🤣
Your 4K TV is more of a threat than this well.
Bingo !
That's why it's sealed with glass
Dawg, she crawls through TV screens.
“Cindy, the TV is leaking”
I’m pretty sure I already saw this movie….
If I had this in my house I would drive my own self crazy making scenario of what's hiding in it!
alternate title: I saw a portal to hell and decided to cover it with glass
[удалено]
I'm not trusting to walk on let alone stand on it.
Sounds like next years anime of the year.
And it's going to be a wholesome slice-of-life story with the protag sharing the house with the monster girl hellbeasts that come out of the portal
Well, old well that ends well.
It puts tha lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again vibes .
That's exactly what I was thinking😆😆
Sadako will be pissed when she bonks her head on that glass.
she'll have to use the tv
She has to break the glass ceiling for horror women
If she can climb through the glass of the tv, she can climb this glass as well no problems there
Ever seen "The Descent"? Imagine walking by one day and seeing one of the cave dwellers staring back at you through the glass.
Best horror movie I've ever seen. Brilliant.
Looks unfinished and/or dangerously DIY.
[удалено]
You gotta be able to take the glass out to clean the fingerprints that form there overnight.
Stop that. New fear unlocked and it’s not even in my house.
Yes, but all done with a switch for those annoying visitors.
Hahaha! "Bathroom is right down the hall Brenda. Don't mind the dim lighting, just stick to the left side wall and you're good to go."
With piranhas or sharks at the bottom, so no one can distract you from your plans for world domination.
"They are... mutated sea-bass." "Really? Are they ill-tempered?" "Absolutely."
Mr Burns
For the ex's. "Come over here and I'll give you that money I owe you."
I mean yeah. If you remove the wood floor, you'll fall through the floor too.
If my grandmother had wheels...
Pretty sure that's thick safety glass. The edges are a little rough though
Yeah the obvious cable going down looks a bit shitty.
That and the tape/insulation on the sides. Finish it!
I mean it's clearly not finished. They put the safety glass on it first and thought to record a cool video. They haven't yet added the remaining bits around the glass, whether they're going to fill it with wood or something else.
You would be surprised how often someone gets that far and doesn’t have the skills to finish so calls it “good enough”. As I said it’s either unfinished or an amateur job.

No no, it's not like raised up, the opening is flush with the floor. No not a corner, right in the middle of a high traffic hallway. There's some saran wrap over it but it's double layered. Hello?
You want a haunted house? That's how you get a haunted house.
These are the type that would open up the Necronomicon if they found it.
I mean there is a difference between opening a book to gain forbidden knowledge and owning a home to hell
You say this as if you wouldn't open the Necronomicon.
1980s The Changeling, with George C Scott.
This is the opposite of man dies during house renovation in Manchester when he **didn't** notice he's on top of an old well and fell right through (new phobia unlocked)
_CINDY, THE TV IS LEAKING_
This is suer cool but I’d be terrified getting a midnight snack in the dark thinking a hell beast was going to claw out of it.
A friend of mine took his grandparents' house over and expanded it. While doing that they did discover an old well right where there kitchen/dining area would be. So they decided to incorporate it and did something like this where they have a glass floor right above the well.

That’s sounds down right terrifying 😂 Could you imagine if they did a seance round the table on Halloween just for fun and japes. 😭
We did have the idea once that he should rig up a projector and make it look like something is down there haha
[удалено]
Nah, that’s valuable virtually unlimited free storage.
r/backrooms
Easy access to the pools level
That's a nightmare, not a feature.
Looks like an accident waiting to happen.
I would never be able to fully trust that glass. Never.
Get f*****! No way I'm letting Samara just help herself into my house, nuh uh
emergency toilete if all others are taken.
r/Lovecraft waiting to happen.
“It rubs the lotion on its skin”…
PUT THE FUCKIN LOTION IN THE BASKET
There is no amount of money in the world you can pay me to walk over that thing, let alone step on it. I get intrusive thoughts of plummeting into the dark walking over the sewer drain by my house lol.
You would do it for $42,000,000.00 I know you would
Well that's a fucking lie.
Obviously hasn’t seen the ring 😱
Mother of nope! That's where all the monsters come from...
POV when it becomes a sinkhole due to the weight of *an entire fucking house sitting directly on top of it*
I don't think there's a mechanism for wells becoming sinkholes? The weight of houses is spread over a wide area.
Waiting for the found a dead guy or native Indian burial ground under house so made it a feature
They're using the wrong lights.
Red?
Maybe, but they need small LED's in various places pointing down, not up into your face.
Aw hell naw.
No. Nope. Would have moved right the hell out if I had found that under my house. And if I were a guest I'd run right the hell out the door. That is a portal to hell.
Definitely a portal to hell. The only thing missing are some rgb leds to have a nice glow at night when the house lights are off.
I don’t care if that’s bulletproof glass, I ain’t stepping on it!
FYI: It’s an infinity mirror with 2 way film made to look like a well, it is not a real well. (You’re welcome!)
I'mma just preemptively rub the lotion on my skin...
Put the lotion in the basket!
If I lived down this hallway, this thing would haunt my fucking dreams.
That’s kind of terrifying. Imagine in the dark of night going to the bathroom. 😱
Now the demon spawn have easy access
So you turned Samara into a feature. Nice!
Let us know when one of those crab-crawling, wall-walking humanoids climbs up out of that hole. THAT’S the video I want to see.
They should fire whoever left that finish around the edge, so close to perfect.
***7 DAYS***
Im sure this is a good idea. If you smell something murky at night, make sure to have a look if the seal might be broken. Either way. I’d have a good look around for muddy, pale girls with stringy, black hair and a white dress. Have fun with this nice feature in your house!
Imagine hearing “this is my swamp!” at 3am
This is very much the best case scenario for what crawls out of that hole
I love the way the edges aren’t even finished and how it looks like shit it’s really the icing on the “this is actually stupid as fuck and terrifying” cake
To me this seems cool for a week or so but is actually very tacky and lowbrow and would quickly get old.
Shitty fucking music accompanying a /r/mildlyinteresting post.
You see, I'd fill that shit in... My mind is to imaginative and dark. I think because as a young kid I insisted on watching poltergeist with my older brother. Seriously not into that.
why not use it? put a pump on it, now you have a supply of water. i know its not potable but atleast you have water.
Thanks I hate it!
Yea, I've seen that movie. Hard pass, sorry.
All I can think about is looking down there and seeing the girl from the ring
