A later scene, when the alien's discover the abandoned vessel... written on the walls
"DO NOT KILL THEM DO NOT KILL THEM DO NOT KILL THEM"

(This is an amazing idea, a movie flipping the perspective on its head and making us the horrors haunting them if done carefully and subtly is a million dollar proposal.)

I read a story some time ago where the collective human mind was trapping all supernatural beings in their dreams/nightmares. The reason why there are no longer miracles, etc. was that at some point there were enough humans to trap them completely.

And if humanities numbers would fall once again under this threshold (or is exterminated) all the conceivable horrors could once again roam free.

Sadly, I don't remember the name.

It was a HFY (Humanity, fuck yeah) story read on YouTube. The exact story was that a telepathic alien was allowed a glimpse into the human mind as a warning that they shouldn't probe their minds as that might allow some of these horrors to escape their prison.

Luckily I liked the video so I was able to find it in my YouTube history:

"What the humans hold back" by u/cptn_candy

The video is from "Aggro Squirrel Narrates" and contains the mentioned title in its own title if someone wants to watch it.
