Sinister lets out a long drawn out exaggerated sigh, ugh children growing older, becoming more independent, talking back to their elders...

I don't understand how ppl keep up with their tagging systems and frankly I'm afraid of them

Least favorite genre or sub genre of horror? (mascot, hauntings, monster, eldritch etc.)

What's your horror hot take?

List your top 5 favorite tropes.

If I don't control myself, I'll send you the whole thing.

munday nonsense: horror edition @mamidearcst

oh my god I love eldritch horror. I'm kind-of a pussy when it comes to horror BUT anything with a cosmic/elder/inescapable background is something I adore. I love when there's something supernatural that leads atrocious behaviors

i cannot stand body modification horror. I can't read it. Can't watch it. Just reading the 2 sentence description of human centipede fucked me up for YEARS. and then, once upon a time, I thought tusk was that daniel ra*cliff movie where he had horns for some reason??? And I read the full wiki article bc I have to be AWARE of what's going to happen in horror movies before I watch them---- and I read the whole thing, thinking "oh, ok, well maybe exposure to body horror in theory will help" it did not. I had a religious experience. It would keep me up at night. I worked in behavioral modification, any mention of pavlov would bring that back to my head for awhile. It still comes back sometimes, I can't look at walruses. It fucked me up. It's fucking me up a lil bit rn

I think not being able to see the monster is the top tier trope. Like, I want the whole "incomprehensible to human minds" thing so so so badly. I don't think you need to witness the scary thing for it to be scary

   David sits on the operating table, legs crossed and chin resting on a raised hand. He looks positively bored which is odd, given his left arm is currently sliced open right down to the bone. You’d think he’d be in pain, or perhaps unconscious, but no.

   There are two reasons for that. One, being sedatives don’t work on him so trying is stupid. Second, he stopped feeling pain ages ago. In fact, he doesn’t feel much of anything anymore. Only loyalty to a man most think of as a monster and a need to please, to get what little praise he can earn. Although, it’s getting harder to care about that too.

   Heterochromic eyes lock on the woman playing around in his flesh. A finger starts tapping at his cheek, David growing impatient. Mami isn’t a new face. She’s been around a while, maybe for as long as he’s been under Mr Sinister’s care. It’s hard to tell really. There is a disconnect between those early days and now. Something that tells him he’s probably not the original David, not anymore. Just another alter created to handle this new existence, made to face what the core personality can’t anymore. Emotionless, weaponised, incapable of feeling pain or suffering. It makes him empty, hollow, but again, it’s hard to care.

… becoming a mobile hotspot honestly seems like the worst thing that could happen to someone.

got a starter he'll never touch

Like an adhesive sticker, the gentle spindling fingers of the odd shape peels back the thin little sheer piece of reality that occupied the space before this facade, this little thing that hid so sickly behind the narrative, this little faux shape that would be blogged about, that would vastly understood by those who read each post.
