Can I watch this? (Please help!)


I've heard a lot about this, and how good it is, but I've also heard it's extremely disturbing and creepy. Please help! I don't know if I should watch it, is it that scary? I'm 13, BTW...

well, it might be scary for you, umm, however if you watch it with a friend it wont be as scary because somebody is ther with you, ya know? Thats what i did, i watched it with a friend, and i wasnt too scared. i hope this helps.

Yes but it could haunt me later...is it the haunting type, or the scary-only-while-you-watch-it type?

Just keep in mind that its fake. It's an art film. It's much scarier if you don't know the story behind it.

The more you watch it the funnier it becomes...especially the chihuahua :)

this is true, if you learn about it and read about it you wont be as scared, however you might have the image of his face in your head for a while, but it will go away after a while and its not as bad, also just keep in mind that its fake, the reason why people fear things, in my theory, is because they dont understand it, and im not sure if a video such as rubber johnny or at least the type of video has been viewed before. Im not sdaying that nobody has seen it before, im saying that it is new to the eye, its disturbing...basically, learn about it, read about it and when your ready watch it with a friend, and it wont be half as bad if you unknowingly saw it. also, most of the people that have seen this video thought it was alien footage, and the mental factor of that being real, which its not, can scare the hell out of you, all in all, i hope that you find this reply helpfull, and good luck with the viewing.

I watched it!!! Just now with my friends...and actually I didn't find it scary. It started off scary...and it should've stayed like that. The music video thing woz dumb.

reply

awsome, im glad your not haunted by it.

reply

yeah I'm 13 too and it is not too scary the beginning is kinda weird but the rest is laughable ( no offense chris cunningham the video is brilliant)

reply

BTW try not to watch it at night and with the lights off that sorta adds to the creepyness.

reply

Watch it ! especially at like a sleepover or halloween or something. I'm going to watch it right now. But of course, it will give me some creepy nightmares !

Just keep in mind that if Rubber Johnny was actually a real person he would probably be harmless.

In fact I feel bad for him in the DVD because his parents are like "let's abandoned him in the basement because he's a freak".
