11 Gory Sites to Get Your Dose of Cheesy Horror (2024)

Let me start with a fair warning---if you have a weak stomach, get out while you can. After that, we will enter the realms of the best gore sites on the web.

The word "cheesy" could prove to be a bit misleading. "Cheesy" is synonymous with kitschy and unnecessarily emotional. However, we will attempt to stay closer to gruesome and morbid because there are enough gore sites on the visible web.

So, close the doors, draw the curtains, and click the mouse as I try to give you a taste of the gore at these ten horrific gory websites.

1. Castle of Spirits

Are you interested in the spooky and the supernatural? Then this online stock house of stories about ghosts, hauntings, apparitions, and other unexplained phenomena will draw you in. All 4,600+ stories are submitted by users and are searchable. If you have a ghost story, use the online form to submit it.

To start reading right away, go to the Ghost Stories archive and wade in. But you can find all the best stories under Classic Ghost Stories and Spookiest Stories. The site also supports a community where you can share your experiences or discuss your favorite spooky stories.

Also:Creepypasta is a popular website and community for paranormal and spooky stories. It also accepts submissions, and stories are ranked according to their horror quality.

2. The Damaged Corpse

Movies like Annabelle and Curse of Chucky might have ruined the innocence of dolls for you. So this site is another knife slice. The site is in French, but the images speak the universal language of "holy creeps!"

Françoise Duvivier is a wonderfully (and ghoulishly) creative artist who uses mixed media like collages, masks, and dolls to give life to her artistic expression.

Here's a brief profile on her, but follow the title link to glimpse her unique but scary work.

3. WebOuija

Ouija boards are creepy. If you have tried one out in your childhood parties, this digital version of a talking board might interest you enough. Here you can interact with the Ouija board using the mouse and the letters and numbers on the board. Ask questions in the dialog box to communicate with spirits. The cursor moves in response to the users' questions and is said to be guided by the spirits' responses.

The site is also a nice place to learn more about these oracle boards, which supposedly can answer your deepest questions. But, of course, it is all in the spirit of fun, as the site is an experiment in DHTML and JavaScript.

4. Bloody Disgusting

There are movie streaming sites, and then there are horror streaming sites like Bloody Disgusting. The entertainment site for horror fans brings you everything close to gore under its umbrella. Start with editorials and articles to keep pace with horror movies and shows. Then, check out video trailers of upcoming shows and video games. And round it off with their podcasts like Creepy, which brings you chilling creepypastas and urban legend stories.

Don't take the domain name for what it means. It's a very scary but entertaining corner of the internet.

5. Bongcheon-Dong Ghost

Read the advisory on the screen before you dive into the horror webtoon. The South Korean webtoon was created in 2011, and it has aged well after it went viral after its launch. The comic is an urban ghost story with twists, turns, and obligatory jump scares that might not be for the faint of heart.

You can use this famous episode as a starting point to explore the other creepy animated stories in The Vault of Horror: A Collection of Nightmares.

6. Hashima Island

You might remember this creepy place from the James Bond film "Skyfall." The sense of foreboding isn't any less in this Google Street View rendering of the abandoned island. The chilling background music adds to the effect. Make your way through the island with the help of your mouse and learn more about life in an era of rampant coal mining.

You can also explore it from the Google Arts and Culture site. Interestingly, it's just one of the 505 abandoned islands in the Nagasaki Prefecture.

7. Programming Language Inventor Or Serial Killer

Turn your thirst for cheesy horror into a chance to bump up your trivia knowledge. The above screenshot says it all. So play the quiz and find out if you know your serial hacker from your code hacker.

Don't forget to check out More Stuff on the site for some more ways to cure your boredom online.

8. Death Date

The vote for the ultimate gore website can go to this one if you take it too seriously. After all, who would like to know one's date of death!

It's a fun site, and I guess the mechanism behind it considers any addictions you have to calculate your death age. The site gives your date of death in neutral, optimistic, and pessimistic modes. So take your pick and satisfy your morbid curiosity.

But if you want to get serious about life, take the assumed date and start living your life to the fullest.

9. Scary for Kids

As adults, buying into cheesy horror takes a lot of convincing. But kids are naturally drawn to them and enjoy the goosebumps. So let's end our list with a "horror" site made just for kids.

Scary for Kids might seem like a creepy website for kids. But try to find out if any of the stories, videos, or scary pictures tingle your spine. I couldn't spot the gore here, so sitting with your children in front of the monitor is safe.

Maybe, a storytelling session at night would work better.

10. Nightmare Machine

Can artificial intelligence generate the best gore in the world? The MIT Media Lab uses algorithms to create scary faces and haunted places from their regular versions. Then, you get to vote on them and generate your special gallery at the end.

The Halloween experiment is a fun way to see AI at work, but maybe it's also an attempt to see if technology can design "fear." We think it can.

11. 2Sentence Horror

No time to browse all the gore videos and gory websites? Try these flash horror stories that can still give you the heebie-jeebies. The subreddit holds monthly contests, and you can follow the prompts to submit your own. The most upvoted stories are the winners.

The screenshot above is one of the winning stories.

A Bit of the Cheesy Gore You Can Find on the Web

I decided to stop while I was ahead. These ten gory websites are just a whiff of the gore you can find on the web, and to be frank, these sites are relatively tame. However, the dark side of the web is not for the squeamish.

Some websites wouldn't have passed muster with the most liberal censor or our family-friendly readership.

It opens the debate on the dangers of sickening gore being left open on the web. There are more than enough creepy sites if your taste is still in cheesy horror and disgusting gore.
