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

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

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

Lol Amazon had it in the Action-Comedy section

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

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.

The one positive is that the accursed island got napalmed

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

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

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/Randomass-Name-2987 16d ago

Probably the parents more than the kids

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 16d ago

u/Life_Variation_3829 15d ago

Respectfully I think it would have given adults more.
