Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping movie plots turned into AITA posts into the ol’ VCR.
Well, friends, we’re back with yet another edition of AITA Theater.
I love this series so much (and, if I’m not mistaken, it’s Elliott’s favorite), so I wanted to do a horror-themed edition for the last Saturday of October.
If you aren’t familiar with this series and/or the AITA Subreddit, let me give you a quick primer…
People turn to AITA to ask if they’re the asshole in a particular situation and can receive one of four main verdicts:
- Not The Asshole (NTA)
- You’re The Asshole (YTA)
- Everyone Sucks Here (ESH)
- No Assholes Here (NAH)
So, naturally, I thought, “Well, why don’t we do this with movie plots and characters, but hold off on revealing the movie in question?”
And the rest is history.
Additionally, I’ll leave little hints for you throughout each question, and the answers will be at the bottom because we want to be entertaining yet stimulating here at B Movies Industries.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and explanations.
Without further ado, here are 10 horror movie plots turned into AITA stories:
AITA for trying to teach some kids a lesson?
u/mommyfearest
Verdict: YTA
Hello Children. I lost my sweet, innocent, hockey-loving (?) son recently because some camp counselors were, shall we say, indisposed, and my boy drowned.
After his death, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to teach kids about the dangers of fornication and hitchhiking and…existing. So, I’ve been administering some tough love, and sometimes, as every parent knows, tough love can really hurt.
I’m just a grieving mother who would like some justice, and don’t ask me how, but I just know that my son would feel the same way. It’s like he’s still a part of me. Am I the asshole? If you vote yes, I won’t be a happy camper.
AITA for giving in to peer pressure?
u/beefstu
Verdict: YTA
Hey dudes, wassup? Listen, my mom and dad are super mad at me, so I need to be quick. One of my friends, who I totally don’t have a crush on or anything because this is 1996, convinced me to help him work out some issues.
He’s kind of a phone-throwing dick, but I still love him, in a strictly platonic way. Plus, we all go a little mad sometimes, right? It’s also totally not his fault if his girlfriend’s whore mother caused his parents’ divorce. I felt really bad for him, so how could I say no? Sure, I had to close the garage door on my relationship along the way, but it was worth it. Okay, I have to go because I’m feeling woozy here. Am I in the wrong?
AITA for not trusting my brother’s “friend?”
u/winguarded
Verdict: NTA
Okay, I’m just going to try to keep this as short as possible. I lost my older brother a while back, and it really affected my parents and my little brother. I obviously really miss him, but I’m also just really focused on getting out of this dead-end town and hiding my relationship from my parents.
But, this guy randomly showed up. Sure, he’s really hot and asked me to make a mix CD for him, but I swear that there’s something off about him. My parents and brother love him though, so I don’t know what to do. I’m waiting on a call back from the military, but I just don’t think I’m overreacting, right?
AITA for letting my codependent nature impact my relationships?
u/sweaterweather
Verdict: NTA
Goodday, Reddit. You know, I’ve been alive for a long time, and I think it’s quite nice to have a forum where you can share your thoughts and try not to feel so alone. Pardon me for the long introduction.
I’ve been working on my codependency issues because my boss is a narcissist and manipulates me. A tale as old as time, right? At least it is in his case.
Well, friends, he showed up at my apartment to confront me, and he found out that I’ve been going to a support group, and let’s just say he didn’t take kindly to that fact. I don’t want any more bloodshed on my account, but it just feels like my boss can’t be defeated. Is all of this my fault?
AITA for trying to help out my neighbor?
u/kingfiend
Verdict: ESH
Why, hello there, Reddit! I believe I’ve gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. Some new neighbors just moved in across the way. A real nice family. I was giving them the lay of the land, and I showed them the town’s pet graveyard.
But, I felt real bad when that little girl’s cat froze to death, so I took pity on her father and introduced him to the real pet graveyard. I warned him that the cat wouldn’t be right, but he would be back, so Ellie wouldn’t have to fret.
Tragically, their son just passed, and I can see the familiar look in his father’s eye. I’ve warned him that, sometimes, dead is better, but I don’t know if he’s going to listen to me, and now, his family can’t get in touch with him. Was this all my fault? Now, if you’ll excuse me, Reddit, I think I heard something downstairs.
AITA for wanting to make a movie with my friends?
u/woodbedocumentarian
Verdict: NAH
Hi Reddit. For my latest film project, I enlisted the help of two of my friends to investigate some local folklore. We packed up supplies (and cigarettes) and headed out to interview the locals, and ended with a little camping trip.
But, things took a turn when it started to feel like we weren’t alone out here. Someone started pranking us at night with piles of rocks and making noises outside our tent. Now, here’s where I might be in the wrong. We seem to be lost… like really, really lost. I never meant for this to happen, and I swear I knew where we were going.
Now, one of my friends has gone missing, and I really want to go home. I just want to apologize to all three of our moms because I don’t think I can write a happy ending for this one. Am I the asshole?
AITA for lighting a candle?
u/livetothemax
Verdict: NAH
Okay, Reddit. I can explain. I just moved from Los Angeles to Salem, and I’ve been trying to impress this girl. I tried to give her my number, and she gave it back, but I convinced her to hang out with me and my little sister.
There’s this local legend about a group of witches who can be resurrected whenever a virgin lights a candle, and, um, I kind of brought all three sisters back from the dead. Now, they’re trying to chase us down so that they can suck out our souls, as well as the souls of other kids in Salem, to stay around permanently.
I swear this entire thing was an accident, and I was just trying to make this girl like me.
AITA for ruining my mom’s party?
u/yourmotherfoldssocksandtells
Verdict: NAH
Well, hi, Reddit. My head is spinning right now. My mom is a famous actress and was having some friends over. I haven’t really been feeling like myself lately, and I honestly can’t tell you why I did what I did, other than that Captain Howdy told me to.
Anyway, I went downstairs to talk to my mom, and before I knew what was happening, I was peeing all over myself and the floor. It felt like I wasn’t in control of myself, including my bladder. She was understanding about the entire thing, but now I feel bad. Is this my fault?
AITA for trying to advance my career?
u/justsomeguy
Verdict: YTA
Listen, it’s hard to catch a break as an actor. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks they have a shot, and it makes it harder for those of us who actually have talent. Recently, I met an eccentric old couple that said they can help me achieve my acting goals…but there’s a catch.
My wife doesn’t know any of this. She thinks that we stumbled into this new apartment by accident, and she doesn’t know that all of it was premeditated. She also doesn’t know that I’m not the biological father of our baby…because that was part of the deal. Now, she’s having an unusual pregnancy, and I don’t know how to help. I think she might also be catching on to the fact that something bigger is going on and that our neighbor’s mousse isn’t just mousse. But, my career is taking off. Am I the asshole?
AITA for wanting some peace and quiet?
u/allworkandnoplay
Verdict: YTA
Alrighty, here’s the deal. I’m a teacher turned writer, and I’m just trying to finish my goddamn book. I took a job watching a secluded hotel for the winter, and I thought, “Gee, this’ll be swell.”
The problem is, my wife and kid are driving me fucking crazy. I also gave up alcohol for her, but I would sell my goddamn soul for a drink. My buddies Lloyd and Grady also agree that I need to shut them up. My kid has this weird connection to the chef, and I’m scared he’s gonna mess everything up. So Reddit, am I the asshole for just wanting to get my wife and kid in line?
