The Boys are back in town.

If you're familiar with the Amazon Prime series, you'll know that The Boys aren't afraid to show you some pretty messed up stuff.

My mind instantly goes back to Herogasm in the third series which was arguably the most alarming thing I've ever seen.

If you're unfamiliar with the show, don't let this put you off because it's a lot of fun that also takes on some real-world issues.

Check out the trailer for season four below:

Also, it shows superheroes who are just awful people which is probably what would happen if they did exist.

Anyway...

Season four of The Boys has arrived on Prime with the first three episodes, and it picked up right where the third left off.

I'm not going to spoil anything but if you wanted the same amount of gore and weird scenes as the previous seasons, then you're in luck!

As The Boys, consisting of Butcher, Hughie, Starlight, Mother's Milk, Frenchie, and Kimiko, attempt to take down Homelander, they encounter some pretty strange scenes... like one on the second episode of the new season.

In episode two, titled 'Life Among the Septics,' viewers are confronted with a particularly disturbing X-rated scene.

Staying true to its satirical roots, The Boys parodies one of the most shockingly grotesque films ever made: the Human Centipede franchise.

For those unfamiliar, the Human Centipede films involve humans being surgically connected mouth-to-anus to form a continuous chain, a concept that is as horrifying as it sounds.

Enter Splinter, a new character this season, whose power allows him to create near-instant clones of himself.

Instead of using his powers to do something cool, he instead uses it to... pleasure himself.

When characters Frenchie and Kimiko walk in, they find Splinter using his cloning ability to create a grotesque train of himself, connected butt-to-face, for his own perverse pleasure.

Unsurprisingly, fans reacted strongly to the scene. One Reddit user on r/TheBoys remarked: “BRO WHAT IN THE HOLY F*** DID I SEE,” while another added: “he doing that human centipede type s*** what the f*** was that.”

Adding to the absurdity, a trivia pop-up from Prime Video during the scene read: “Actor Rob Benedict wants us to remind everyone that he studied Shakespeare at Northwestern University. There is no contractual obligation for us to carry out this request. This is merely a kind gesture.”

It's doubtful that anybody watching the scene will be thinking about his prowess with classical theatre.

The first three episodes of The Boys season four are available to watch on Amazon Prime right now.

It was recently confirmed that season five will be the conclusion of the show, so enjoy the unhinged series while you still can!

A horror series has been dubbed "the scariest" that people have ever watched, as fans flock to Now TV to get their horror fix.

When it comes to horror movies and shows, people either love them or hate them, and some are simply forced to watch against their will.

I'm going to put it on the record right now - there is absolutely no shame in hiding behind pillows or tactically looking at your phone at the scariest moments.

Having the instinct to look away when something is about to make you jump is a skill that should be commended.

But for those who can handle the scary stuff, there's a show on Now TV that might be of interest as some people claim that it's the scariest thing they've ever seen.

The mystery horror titled From centers around a city in the middle of the US where those who enter are trapped and are then forced to survive the threats from the surrounding forest.

Watch the trailer for From below:

The show boasts a 7.7 rating on IMDb and is currently in its second season, so there is plenty of horror to catch up on!

Mixing horror with mystery always results in a suspenseful watch but it seems like it has got people absolutely hooked and dying to see more.

One person penned on Twitter: "I’ve never seen a show that is into it’s second season and we still don’t understand wtf is going on. I’m so hooked but I need a clue damn it?!?!? Wtf is happening?"

A second person dubbed it: "This is the scariest show I’ve ever watched, it so good."

A third person said: "Watched #FROM because [Harold Perrineau] was in it and I loved him in the best man movies...glad I did. From is one of the best shows I've ever seen. Yall definitely put yall foot in this show [sic]."

The show has a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes which proves that it really is worth your time.

Brad Newsome from the Australian news outlet The Age gave From a four out of five rating, while writing: "The horror is real – and it gets real gory – but this is no simple splatterfest. Series creator John Griffin has built his world meticulously, and all his characters have their own fraught back stories and their own personal demons."

James White from Empire wrote: "Perrineau and the cast are game, and the story unfurls relatively naturally, even as it bumps into the odd cliché here and there – surly teens, weird moony types who hear voices and feel compelled to do strange things, the arrogant douche who slowly comes around."

The show is available on Now TV but viewers can also pay for it on Amazon Prime - but maybe only do it if you don't have a nervous disposition!

A horror movie was apparently so traumatizing that some people couldn't make it through without vomiting.I'll be honest with you, I hate horror movies.I don't see any value in spending my free time making myself anxious, but I suppose people are generally braver than I am.That being said, I imagine it isn't in anyone's interest to watch a movie that makes them vomit, but here we are.The Outwaters, has been described by some viewers as so "traumatizing" that they have had to leave theaters to "throw up."Check out the trailer below:Written and directed by Robbie Banfitch, The Outwaters is a found-footage horror film that promises a uniquely disturbing experience.The movie’s synopsis teases an eerie story: “An excursion to the Mojave Desert turns creepy when a group of campers starts to experience unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behavior. Then one night everything changes, sending the foursome on a mind-bending trip through terror.”The LA Times’ Noel Murray praised the film, stating that The Outwaters “genuinely feels like a first-person perspective on the end of the world.”This acclaim has been echoed on social media, where viewers are sharing their intense reactions.One audience member even revealed that the movie caused a spike in their heart rate, which was tracked by their Apple Watch.|I’d say tonight was pretty damn eventful! @RobbieBanfitch you’re amazing, hilarious, and this rewatch of @TheOutwaters has solidified my opinion that I believe this to have one of the most horrific and traumatizing sequences I’ve ever experienced in a found-footage horror film," they wrote.However, not all reactions have been positive. Some viewers found the film so unsettling that it caused physical reactions.One fan shared their experience: “I'm still processing #TheOutwaters. I am not sure if it worked for me. The sounding made me so uncomfortably dizzy that I had to leave the theatre to vomit. This never happened to me before. It’s more disturbing than scary, if that makes any sense.”To enhance the movie-watching experience, The Outwaters official Twitter account shared advice for fans. "In order to fully appreciate our film, we do recommend watching on the biggest screen possible, turning off the lights, putting away your phone, and turning up the volume. There’s a lot to see and hear in the darkness. And then in the burning, bitter sun."In an interview with The Michigan Daily, Banfitch discussed the most challenging part of bringing the horror film to life.“Getting it right, and the time that it took,” Banfitch explained. “I was never going to enter it into a film festival unless I felt it was good enough, and it took a lot more time than I thought to get it to the place where I was ready to enter it.”He added that the process was grueling: “Just the process of trial and error, edits and feedback, I suppose, was the most difficult in terms of being time-consuming. Life is short, you wanna make sure you are working on something that you are really passionate about if you spend years on it."Will you be watching?Featured image credit: RgStudio/Getty

Normally re-watching old kids' TV shows brings a sense of fond nostalgia, something akin to the warm and fuzzy feeling you have when you think back to those long family holidays playing on the beach and climbing trees with your friends. But they're not the type of memories we're here to reminisce about today. Instead, we're about to remind you of the creepiest episodes of children's TV shows that left you frantically running into your parents' room in the middle of the night, flatly refusing to sleep in your own bed for the next week. Although many of us remember TV programmes we used to watch as youngsters as being all fun and games, the truth is that there were certain episodes that were so disturbing, they should never have been aired. Prepare to stir up some deeply repressed childhood memories as you join VT in our throwback to the creepiest episodes of kids' TV shows ever.

1. "And Then There Was Shawn," Boy Meets World

If you believed in your heart of hearts that Boy Meets World was a beautiful coming of age story that was all about watching Cory and Topanga's relationship slowly blossom, you'd be sorely mistaken. In fact, Boy Meets World was responsible for one of the most terrifying episodes of kids' TV to date. I'm sure you've blocked it out of your memory but remember the time that the creepy janitor locked the kids in the classroom, blood appeared on the door saying "No one gets out alive", a guy got stabbed with a giant pencil, Mr Feeny was stabbed is the back with scissors, two students were killed by an avalanche of books and Eric almost killed himself? Phew that was a whole lot of trauma! Of course in the end it was revealed to have been all a dream, but still, why Boy Meets World, why?!

2. "Dark Water," Doctor Who

The BBC were forced to respond after the disturbing Doctor Who series 8 episode "Dark Water" became the most complained about episode in ten years, back in 2014. Although Doctor Who often deals with serious themes, the episode in question took the creepy cake by having Clara's boyfriend Danny Pink killed off in the opening minutes and then graphically converted into a Cyberman. But the death wasn't even the shocking part; later in the episode the audience discovers that people can still feel what is happening to their bodies after death - including during cremation! To be fair though, this is far from the first time that Doctor Who has been criticised for scaring kids behind the sofa. Back in 1976 it came under heavy criticism from Christian moral guardian Mary Whitehouse due in part to the violence exhibited in the Tom Baker serial "The Deadly Assassin." And who could forget those creepy Weeping Angels in "Blink?

3. "The Legend of Dratini", Pokémon

A real-life American terror was brought to life in this unsettling Pokémon 1997 episode. Only ever broadcast in Japan, the controversial episode sees Ash and the crew being held at gunpoint after taking a stroll through the Safari Zone, a nature reserve for rare Pokémon. The warden of the Safari Zone threatens to murder Ash and his friends if they break any of the rules of the zone and eventually shoots at another group of kids for standing on top of a sign. In addition, later on Team Rocket captures the old man and the attacked becomes the attackers when they point guns directly at his head. So much for a light-hearted kids' show!

4. "The Sad Story of Henry", Thomas The Tank Engine

When you're a kid, Thomas the Tank Engine seems like an idyllic world of steam trains in the English countryside, and Ringo Starr's soothing voice goes a long way towards reassuring you of that. But then you get older, and the idea of a train with a grey human's face on the front is something that probably turns your stomach. So too will this episode, in which the fan controller decides to slowly brick up Henry the train in an abandoned tunnel as a form of punishment. What the hell were they thinking when they made this?

5. Children Of The Stones

Looking back, it's tough to cherry pick a single most terrifying episode of little-known children's TV show, Children of the Stones. To be honest with you, they were all spine-chilling. In case you're not aware, the 1977 show follows scientist Adam Brake and his son Matthew as they arrive in the sleepy English village of Milbury, only to find it under the grip of weird psychic powers unleashed by the sinister village squire. The villager appear to be in the grip of hypnosis, and call themselves "The Happy Ones". Matthew soon discovers an ancient conspiracy involving the mummified body of a prehistoric man, stone circles with electromagnetic properties, and a black hole in space. Children of the Stones is rightly regarded as one of the freakiest kids' shows ever to exist. Believe me: you'll understand just by listening to the chilling music used in the opening credits.

6. "Night Of The Living Dummy," Goosebumps

I don't know about you, but the moment that Zach's head did a complete 360 degrees at the end of this episode will be stuck in my memory forever. The most well-remembered - and creepiest ever - episode of Goosebumps saw walking and talking ventriloquist dummy, Slappy, cause utter havoc in twin sisters Lindy and Kris's house, eventually attempting to make both girls his slaves. After he almost kills the family dog and taunts the girls beyond belief, he is thankfully thrown under a train at the end of the episode... but this didn't stop him from returning as the main antagonist in the 2015 Goosebumps movie. And, believe me, twenty years later still nothing about this dummy was okay.

7. "One Beer," Tiny Toon Adventures

Tiny Toon Adventures, which followed the next generation of Loony Tunes, was normally a fairly happy-clappy show. Aside from the time that Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck and Hampton J. Pig got drunk, stole a police car and died in a horrible accident. Don't remember watching it? Chances are you probably don't as, unsurprisingly, it was only aired once before getting banned for some reason...

8. "The Tale Of The Lonely Ghost," Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

All kids' in the 1990s were most certainly afraid of the dark after watching "The Tale of the Lonely Ghost". Regarded as the scariest episode of the whole show, it saw a girl agree to spend the night in the haunted house next door to become a part of her snobby cousin's friendship group. The episode hit peak terror when she walked through a mirror to find the words "HELP ME" scrawled across every square inch of space, written by a ghost named Beth who was been trapped in there. Despite the eventual happy ending, all we remember is this spine-chilling part of the episode.

9. "Bad Bad Rubber Piggy," Invader Zim

Invader Zim was always a pretty screwed up show with a sick sense of humour. What else would you expect from creator Jhonen Vasquez, the comic book artist responsible for the demented work "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac"? But this time-travel based episode really takes the cake. It sees alien invader Zim attempting to ruin his nemesis Dib's life by sending toy pigs back in time to gradually ruin his life via strange childhood accidents. However, due to being crippled as a toddler, Dib's scientist father Professor Membrane creates a powered exoskeleton for Dib, who soon attacks Zim seeking revenge. The episode culminates with Zim desperately sending a message back to himself in the past by... look, it's best if you just watch the video below to find out.

10. "Reality Takes A Holiday," Eerie Indiana

Imagine your family going away, only to find that your whole life with them was only a TV show. Every TV-obsessed kid's nightmare came true in "Reality Takes A Holiday" where Marshall checks the mailbox to find a script and then walks into his house to find the people he thought were his family were completely different people merely playing a role. Throw in a murderous finale starring Marshall and you have yourself a thoroughly blood-curdling episode of kids' TV.

[[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNKW1-fdhbk]]

So, are you all keen to rush off and rev up the old VCR player to re-watch all of your childhood favourites? I didn't think so. Somehow, even today, these blood-curdling TV classics still inspire unease and terror in our adult minds. And you thought you were all grown-up.

While most kids don't notice the witty grown-up jokes thrown into children's films, there are some things we can never forget. Most of the time, that's because we're emotionally scarred by them. Things can get really dark, and that can be traumatising for young viewers. Here are 12 scenes from children's movies that you probably wished you'd never seen:

1. When Bambi's mother dies

The melancholic music makes it so much worse when Bambi trots around in the heavily falling snow calling "Mother! Mother, where are you?" and we all know that she's been hit by one of the gunshots.

2. The boat scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Willy Wonka's totally manic monologue and the insane lighting of this scene cause viewers to feel really quite stressed out and panicky. I think we were all clenching our butts during this scene. It's been likened to a psychedelic trip.

 

3. The forest scene from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

The grotesquely huge hands with long, spindly fingers grabbing at her cape... *shudders*.

4. When the Grand High Witch reveals her true self in The Witches

She literally pulls off her face and reveals a hideous, warty, skin-flapping head beneath. And don't get me started on the rat-witches in this film later on.

5. The Pink Elephant scene in Dumbo

The body made of eyeless elephant heads marching at an alarming pace straight at you is probably the most terrifying part of this spectacularly frightening song. Tim Burton is said to be making a version that's even scarier.

6. The pig parents in Spirited Away

This film has a number of surreal and disgusting creatures (special shoutout to that rancid sludge creature). But especially scarring for children is the idea that your parents have turned into actual pigs because they were too greedy, and are now monstrously shoveling food into their snouts.

7. The Finding Nemo anglerfish scene

The death of a parent and the kidnapping of a young, crippled boy is distressing enough. But how about that awful, awful anglerfish in the deep dark ocean?! That scene caused me to actually jump out of my seat and it really gave me the heebie jeebies.

8. When Artax helplessly sinks in the swamp in The Neverending Story

It's a known fact that people get more upset when animals die than other significant human characters. So to see Atreyu lose his noble steed in the Swamp of Sadness... just heartbreaking.

9. When Widow Tweed releases Tod back to the wild in The Fox and the Hound

I blame the waterworks on the mournful harmonica and the soul-crushing look of disbelief on Tod's face in their goodbye hug.

10. The death-by-acid scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit

This scene really opens eyes to the cruelty of the world. A poor little shoe is murdered in a bucket of acid, and it wriggles, squeaks and squeals as it is slowly dipped in.

11. The flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz 

There are so many of them and they make scary cooing sounds.

 

12. When Hexxus rises to power in FernGully: The Last Rainforest

The dark and ancient oil spirit begins to wreak chaos and grows in strength, first an oozing, steaming voice, then a slimy snake-like blob, then a skeletal figure dancing burlesque and finally, a huge godlike figure of poisonous slime.

13. The tree scene in The Last Unicorn

The red bull is scary and all, but this loved-up tree is somehow more terrifying. The enchanted tree has enormous bosoms that nearly smother poor Schmendrick who is tied around it. It's kind of funny, but mostly scary and weird.

While it may seem surprising to have such grim and wacky themes in kid's films, most of the time they are teaching some kind of lesson. It's a genre designed to help children learn more about different situations in the world, and that involves danger and conflict at times. Doesn't make them any less disturbing to watch now though.
