#house of the devil

[goryhorroor]

this needs to be addressed because this annoyed me. i hate when people say: "classic horror films suck because they're not scary." i need to put this in perspective. let's take a silent horror film for one; nosferatu might not be frightening to modern watchers because it wasn't made for this generation or generations in the 80s either, so you won't find it scary because they're relying on tactics that will terrify the audiences who lived in the 20s. I mean they didn’t have talking in films yet so they had to rely on other things.

you also have to take in account that the internet did not exist to these people, so yea a lot of people today have seen some gory things and are desensitized to some of the horror shown in these classic horror films, that doesn't make it a bad horror film that you were not terrified by it. not to mention horror is subjective anyways.

even further back, house of the devil is 1000% not scary to anyone today, but in the 1890s all this technology advancing was terrifying to them. like the use of appearing and disappearing on screen is very simple to do nowadays and some people won't find it scary, but for people in that era it was fucking terrifying because this technology didn’t exist out in the public so freely.

the exorcist, I’ve come to seen that to modern day watchers don’t find it scary (I’m not saying everybody but there’s a new influx people who are saying this stuff and I mean a lot of people) , but they never had people from the 2000s-2020s in mind when they were making the film. they weren't saying "ooh we need to make sure it's scary to people in the future." no they knew their audiences in the 70s was either overly religious or not religious whatsoever and a movie using religion as a form of terror, got people in those seats.

people that say "horror movie classics are terrible because they're not scary," bother the hell out of me. horror is all about it’s context!

HotD is so weird like, I’d be scrolling for minutes thru some Helaegon fanart and only then the fact that I am lowkey shipping two full siblings hits me💀💀 like wtf is this show doing this to my sense of morality???

at least Aegon and Helaena are the same age?? Circa?? And their relationship might’ve been rocky but not abusive???? And it’s not a grooming and toxic dynamic like with Daemyra?? Am I even allowed to judge incest at this point? Am i fucking hypocrite???

spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

did anyone else just get the strangest craving for pizza? we could use a little snack here at spooky tuesday, especially since we've got nothing to do for the rest of the night besides play the harpsichord, try on other people's glasses, and snoop through this big old house while babysitting some old lady. oh, yeah — and we're watching the house of the devil (2009). in ti west's satanic panic-inspired '80s slow burn, college student samantha agrees to take on an unusual gig for some much-needed rent money, and though bestie greta gerwig reminds her to be wary of weirdos, things still go more than a little sideways.

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher

𖤐 Male Witch in The Big Screen 𖤐

Warlock (1989)

According to Greene (2018) Floating on the outskirts of the graph (Greene categories of typical Film Witches) are other types of witches who appear on a limited basis. These include warlocks or male witches, and female witches defined specifically as having non–European origins.

I married a Witch (1942)

- - the magical man appears just as infrequently because the witch is traditionally defined as a woman, and the thematics surrounding the character are focused on female agency. However, there are male witches that appear on occasion within the scope of American witch films. The magical man can be broken down into the occultist, male clown witch, fantasy magician, the boy witch, the elderly wizard, and the warlock. (Greene 2018.)

Bell, Book and Candle (1958)

A second type of the male witch found in the period is the occultist, who is typically associated with Satanism or similar ritualistic cult practice. (Greene 2018.)

House of The Devil (2009)

It can be the occultist and the fantasy magician (Greene 2018.)

Like Merlin in Excalibur (1981)

I would like to add few categories in Greene. First a Accused Witch - Crucible (1996)

Cult leader - Wicker Man (1973)

Shaman (Noidan kirot 1927) Folk Witch in Greene

Just a Witch like Simon The King of Witches (1971) willing to be God

What I want to see: Werewolf Witches 🙂

Le Manoir du Diable (1896)

Considered the earliest horror film ever made, Le Manoir du Diable, French for House of the Devil, is an 1896 silent film by George Méliès about two wandering cavaliers and how the Devil played tricks on them.

Far from being terror-inducing, the entire 3-minute short film (quite ambitious at the time) was actually a comic sketch meant to evoke laughter and amusement from its audience, rather than fear. It was presumed lost until the late 1980s when a copy was found again and restored by the New Zealand Film Archives.
