i wish gagobears were real and just killed everyone

I'm a nice scarecrow, so I won't post scary images at 2 am

Pleasantlyyyy surprised by how much I just enjoyed the Blair Witch Project. I had often heard it being called annoying and boring. It wasn't! how else are hungry, lost, desperate college students going to act? nice and slow escalation of terror. Would like to see it in a theater sometime.

I didn't actually go in knowing you never see the Witch. Somehow, I had it in my head that you glimpse it at the very end in an effect that people largely dislike, something with the head of a pig or an emergency siren or something like that. Why did I think that? Regardless, I thought it was refreshing that they never tip their hand. No way the Witch could have looked would be better than the negative space she leaves

i’m not going to call myself “the friend who’s too woke” or hedge around my opinion because this is my deeply considered belief: horror literature is the theater of disgust, and the disgust that drives the vast, vast majority of classic horror media from the 1890s-1940s—dracula, jekyll and hyde, king kong, nosferatu, the mummy, universal frankenstein, the wolf man, cthulhu, and more—is the exact disgust that drove the worldwide tide of violence in the 1930s and 40s, a tide that has never fully receded, and you have NO business adapting a piece of classic horror media if you aren’t willing to put in the work to identify what is portrayed as disgusting in that property and enter into some form of dialogue with it. if you don’t want your movie to be “about” race or class or gender or sexuality or ability, you’re free to choose a source material that isn’t already about that, but unluckily for you giant hypersexual apes do not exist in a vacuum

Youtube short-form horror, I'll never give up on it

There's a silliness to a lot of them, an inability to escape the now-unfashionable (?) trappings of lost episode creepypasta and "Analogue Horror," but I still love it.
