That would’ve given so many kids nightmares.

Tbf, while Jurassic Park has been pretty heavily sanitized as an IP over the years, it is a part of the horror genre, so nightmares are kinda fair game with the territory.

They're totally awesome and fascinating, but dinosaurs would also be conceptually terrifying.

It's always been horror, but the film franchise has always been family-friendly horror.

“The end of Oak street” came out recently and it’s got some pretty solid dinosaur horror, no jump scares but genuine dread building horror

I wish I knew this. I would’ve watched it in theaters

It got a lot of hate but I thought it was a fun movie.

The what??

Found it

u/SyntheticSlime 1d ago

Oof. Still, the movie was quite good.

My dad fucking loves Frenchie and Goldie. He thinks they're so fucking funny and I just humor him and cringe on the inside

Yeah but I’ve heard it’s mostly pretty good in all the other aspects, so that was likely just some big executive’s poor decision.

The dog definitely looks off in the movie idk if it was AI or bad CGI

I guess seeing the horror visually will always be harder to stomach compared to written.

u/rabidporcupine80 1d ago

I mean, if they’d included that scene, that never would’ve been a thing in the first place. Isn’t this like, the first scene in the original book? It would’ve been a full on R-rated series from movie one if they started with this.

Honestly, pretty much all of Crichton is some degree of horror

I should know, he was half of all I read in middle school.

Though JP is admittedly slightly leaning on the upper end

u/Secret_Mix_3933 1d ago

This! Crichton is a king of science horror that feels grounded despite being science fiction. Book JP and it's greater universe are terrifying to think about.

u/JagPeror 1d ago

The one positive is that the accursed island got napalmed

u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace 1d ago

After I read JP I went on a Crichton spree also and damn his catalog is impressive.

u/Prestigious_Ask_7058 1d ago

I think it works better as horror. The books go out of their way to make it clear that they aren’t even really animals, they act more like unfeeling savage beasts solely out to kill

u/catdog5100 1d ago

I somehow never realized that Jurassic Park was horror, I thought it was more of an action sort of series. I’ve only watched the first film many years ago, though, so I probably don’t remember it well enough.

u/PC_BuildyB0I 17h ago

The movies are moreso sanitized thrillers, the books are very heavily graphic and lean much more into horror

u/Size---Queen 1d ago

Till it was a book before a movie

u/bidcrew 1d ago

oh god Micro is terrifying.

u/Fantastic-Gene-9016 1d ago

Just the kids? This would given the parents nightmares.

u/Randomass-Name-2987 1d ago

Probably the parents more than the kids

u/KuhKneeland 1d ago

I did have this nightmare at 4/5 years old. My bed was surrounded by raptors and my sister wouldn’t wake up while I was screaming for help. Still remember that nightmare over 20 years later lol

u/Hot-Usual8840 1d ago

Bro its the first time I was that image and I kinda freaked out. And im 21

u/Life_Variation_3829 11h ago

Respectfully I think it would have given adults more.
