**TikTok’s New Trend Transforms Touching Movie Moments into “Horror Films”**

TikTok users are abuzz about their “most cherished horror films,” yet the trend bears little relevance to genuine horror cinema.

Instead, creators are showcasing unsettling, emotional, or gut-wrenching moments from films and television series, designating them as their top horror picks. The trend usually highlights clips of sorrowful or shocking scenes accompanied by Gracie Abrams’ track *”I Love You, I’m Sorry.”*

At present, this trend is *ubiquitous* on TikTok.

Similar to other viral phenomena—like *Spotify Wrapped*—this one focuses on displaying personal preferences. Users choose moments that are either widely acknowledged, nostalgically cherished, or adored by a particular fanbase to generate interaction. Consequently, TikTok feeds are inundated with clips from Marvel and Disney flicks, HBO’s *Girls*, and other cultural favorites. The intent is to share something that strikes an emotional chord, regardless of whether it’s widely recognized or a niche favorite.

Therefore, if your For You Page is overflowing with scenes from blockbuster successes and cult classics dubbed as horror films, you’re not alone. What you *probably* won’t encounter much are true horror films—at least until a title like *Megan Is Missing* inevitably makes a comeback and goes viral once more.
