#it's not really my kind of horror movie

[running-in-the-dark]

am I really gonna watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre just because John Larroquette did the opening narration? sigh... probably, yeah.

#I've had it downloaded for ages #think I might have watched it already actually #but I can't remember #it's not really my kind of horror movie #and I guess I could just watch the beginning lol #but that feels like cheating lol #oh my GOD did he narrate more of them?? noo that's too much to ask I don't wanna watch all that #but I will 😔 #gotta start somewhere and it's the first thing chronologically so. #ohhh mark knopfler was in the snl episode that he hosted? okay I guess then I have two reasons to go look for that #yeah it's a bad sign when I start going through the wikipedia filmography section 😩 #hmmm. I think the only things I would've seen him in are an episode of arrested development and one of parks and rec #fascinating. sooooo many shows and movies and I have seen none of them #do I just let myself do this? do I really want to make this my thing for the next few months? I guess so. 🤷 #john larroquette

whoops i asked in the wrong place. would you be willing to do a request of the vargas boys in a SAW trap? thank you in advance <3

Day 2 - Was it not obvious enough

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Edgar #Scriabin #Blood #SAW #So fun fact about me: I have never seen any of the SAW movies and I have exactly zero interest in changing that lol #I'm actually a huge wimp when it comes to live action horror - I can handle just about any other kind of horror! #I love horror video games and animation and comics and stories but I just get really super uncomfortable by live action horror #Especially slashers - I top out around ''Get Out'' as far as on-screen blood and injuries and the like :( #Which sucks because as I said! I love horror! I want to watch Nightmare on Elm Street so badly but I can't! ;o; #And there's something funny about just how violent JtHM and Vargas and everything is but I'm just like #''SAW :( No I can't :('' lol #So I actually had to outsource from a friend lol she's a big slasher buff and knows I can't handle this stuff #So she briefly described a trap from SAW II and I extrapolated from there #Do I have context for you? No #Do I have blood for you? Yes >:) #Poor Edgar D: I dunno if I read correct from glancing around all the scary imagery but there was something about this trap? #About how like if they didn't put both hands they might've been able to get out? :0 I don't actually know #And anyway he has Scriabin there with him! Help! #He's no help at all lol he's just jostling the trap that'll just hurt him more! #I just like to imagine there's a semi-happy ending :') Still a lot of bloodloss tho haha #Anyway I probably wouldn't do one of these live action horror crossovers again :'D Once is more than enough for me

Eyy it's Titanoboa! Desmond anon and I found a new snake for Desmond

https://www.tumblr.com/warriorcatsofficialfacts/743110736781492224/hi-do-yall-mind-if-i-misuse-this-blog-entirely?source=share

Nonny, I saw the video and my first thought was this scene from Anaconda: Blood Orchid.

Just imagine redcoats trying to cross a similar body of water and they just start getting taken out one by one.

Hell, we can change it up a bit and have Desmond’s natural habitat being the bayou in New Orleans. Have Aveline be the one to first meet Desmond who is stalking the entirety of the bayou. He recognized her from Ratonhnhaké:ton’s memories so he doesn’t hurt her and even try to assist her whenever he can.

Aveline believes him to be a smart snake who just so happen to have a taste for the people that can be considered as her enemies.

She considered him an ally that she needs to be cautious about.

Desmond just likes to chill and help out whenever he sees Aveline.

The first time Ratonhnhaké:ton joins Aveline in the bayou though…

Desmond just curled around him and tried to snuggle him. Aveline was worried Desmond wanted to eat him for like… a second or so before she realized that, nah, Desmond is just, strangely, affectionate towards Ratonhnhaké:ton.

#this would probably end with desmond following ratonhnhaké:ton back to the homestead #and chilling in the waters where the aquila is docked #assassin's creed #desmond miles #aveline de grandpre #ratonhnhaké:ton #connor kenway #teecup writes/has a plot #fic idea: assassin's creed #ask and answer #the tags after this is just me talking about the movie franchise anaconda #aaahhh anaconda #one of my ‘movie franchises that scarred me during my childhood’ and #‘movies that my family shouldn’t have let me watch as a kid’ #good times #i really should rewatch that franchise #is it any good? #… uuhhh… #i watch bad horror movies as a hobby so like #i’m really not the best kind of person to ask that kind of question #desmond is turned into an animal subgenre #desmond is turned into a creature subgenre

ok u know that fake 80s horror movie meme that people did on tiktok well aside from the blatant goncharov plagiarism i feel like the idea isnt inherently bad but trying to convince people the movie is real while giving it an obscure and therefore easily googleable name like zapotha is unwise. like goncharov was always openly fake but the video said they want to convince people zepotha is real. too easy to fact check imo.

#if you want to convince ppl this is a real movie you gotta name it like. using the few things that 80s horror titles are allowed to use.. #its gotta be some kind of combination of #'night of the (xyz)'. the name of a broad category of monster (demon werewolf etc). smth like freak/creep. massacre. #and/or some event that high schoolers would participate in. prom. graduation. camp. slumber party. etc. bonus pts if its a franchise. #like omg have you seen my favorite underrated 80s horror? Vampire Camp III: Night of the Were-Creeps? from 1987? #omg its soooo good you have to check it out. linnea quigley's best role. don't @ me you know im right. #avpost #you gotta give it a really tropey name so people cant like look it up and find nothing. #at the very least if you name it 'night of the ' people will find a ton of other horror movies and assume it's blocking out the right movie #anyway you dont have to watch the rest of the vampire camp series to understand the 3rd movie bc they explain the lore #in a campfire scene at the beginning. so youll be caught up. plus the second one was really weird and hasnt aged well #the first one is kind of a low budget 1981 gem but the bad dialogue and acting is really hard to get past. pretty good gore effects though. #check it out if you like that sort of thing but the series takes off at the 3rd movie. when they make it more horror comedy. #i think its getting a remake soon. directed by a woman!

[aidenwaites]

Actually I think one of my favorite tropes as a whole is "small cast of characters trapped in very isolated, very small setting during a horrific/dangerous/impossible scenario" its just that the stakes are much higher when they're in space

#I'm talking like.. cloverfield paradox is the one ive seen most recently #10 cloverfield lane did it too though lmao #Blood Red Sky #wolf 359... #a lot of my favorite Doctor Who episodes (Midnight & the Impossible Planet & 42 & Father's Day) #when i was like 13 I went through a phase of being REALLY into this kind of survival movie but at the same time i was SUPER put off by #horror #so i watched a lot of like. weird isolated survival movies i found on a pirating website that toed the line by being more #grounded?? #i very specifically remember frozen (2010) and chariot (2013)

[crumbleclub]

There's this weird and very gory French + Canadian film called Martyrs (exercise caution when looking it up in terms of images if that stuff freaks you out) and the basic concept is like. Some cult trying to understand what happens after death by bringing people to the brink of it in the most traumatic and agonizing ways possible. And I just realized that that's really some William Afton shit, both for the original motive and for remnant extraction.

(Accidentally wrote an essay in the tags so, ah. Read those I guess)

#i don't really write william as nearly that intense actually #for one because he is not at his peak of darkness most of the time i write him #two because i don't find gore itself inherently interesting #aside from eye scream and medical horror specifically #and 3 because i generally want my characters to SURVIVE so i can play with psychology and healing bc that's way more up my alley #but anyway. the comparison can still be made #i also don't think william would go for some of the stuff in that movie entirely because of cleanup. he has to hide his activities #and he doesn't have a cult to fall back on #but it would be interesting to see if he tried to maximize remnant extraction with some kind of psychological torture #that fits some of the things in the lonely children au by dire honey and freddles. in terms of the endless nightmare schtick #and i could honestly see some level of help wanted and the in universe fnaf games twisting that way too #harvesting the agony of players #hmm. maybe that could be why moon seems fucked up even presumably before kids start going missing again in sb #but anyway #he can only do so much murder before his. ah. resources. would dwindle #maybe he needs to harvest remnant other ways as well #and the continued murder is tied more to his obsession with death and immortality #fnaf #william afton #theorizing about william's weirdness

instead of getting angry about people’s bad takes about characters being ‘doomed’, im going to redirect my energy towards a discussion of representations of disability and illness in utena and say this: isn’t it weird how the only characters that the vast majority of us agree are For Real Dead are ones who died of unspecified illness (mamiya and ruka)? like, there’s so much death in rgu, so much of it is taken allegorically, and i think it should be, but it’s interesting to me how little people question these vague illnesses. meanwhile people are locked in threads discussing whether or not touga is actually dead despite the fact i think it’s quite straightforward to say ‘maybe the show that’s about how you can escape abuse and actually live even having done bad things isn’t going to suggest that if you’ve been abused and perpetuated abuse you should just die’. like. guys. imagine if ruka was like mikage but 1000x more incel-coded. what if the real mamiya was also pranking mikage by faking his death???? i don’t know why this is just the mikage dunk hour but you know what can you do. anyway has anyone heard from my buddy kanae recently im getting kinda worried about her..

#i don’t have the time to meaningfully unpack all my thoughts about death in utena rn #so for now you get me making some silly jokes for the most part #batting about some ideas none of which i feel particularly strongly about #other than if you think touga is Dead dead i dont like you <3 #like hey! that’s kind of weird considering Literally Everything about how and why he is dead in the movie #but i digress bc i don’t want to get stabbed to death by the million swords imbued with human hatred for believing in hope #sorry for imagining a future worth living in despite the horrors. guess ill die #except i WONT. ill vanish from YOUR world but i wont really be gone :) #anyway #dais.txt

I've somewhat made a horror movie blog (not on tumblr) so now I need to figure out what to post there. There's several topics I'd be interested in exploring, but idk how to make them sound interesting or good

#also need to find the time and motivation to edit what ive written and write new things #one topic I've researched before and wpuld be cool to talk about is the horror space sequel thing #since like several franchises just randomly have space sequels and i've spent hours reading about it bc i thought it was really interesting #and also really strange how its kind of a thing #id also be interested in talking about obscure movies #I've been watching some more obscure japanese and korean horror films lately and maybe i could talk about that #bc the more obscure movies are very rarely talked about #like everyone talks about the grudge and ringu and train to busan and audition #but i really like the more obscure moviee too. not just from those countries but others too #and it'd be cool to maybe explore them more? #idk #i dont want to do like reviews bc im terrible at reviewing movies (i guess maybe mini-reviews would be doable but not long ones) #I'll have to figure it out more but i do want to make a horror blog #I'd try my hand at a yourube channel but i hate video editing ngl so blog (for now) it is #oh also i wanna talk about lesbian/sapphic rep in horror!!! lesbians in horror are always my favorite thing ever so i love watching them #I've seen quite a few and i could maybe try talking about that too?

[volfoss]

It's very funny to me that YouTube keeps recommending me videos about why saw 7 is bad. Maybe they don't understand the appeal of Tobin Bell backwards cap or half of the most insane traps known to man but I think saw 7 is rather silly

#sorry like. outside of the original trilogy i do think 3d is my favorite. solely bc like what an insane plot. #but i also really like when horror series get TOO silly with it so like. while it might not appeal to serious saw guys i love the concept of #guy writing a self help book abt being a victim and then john coming up to him and being like hi 😊 i know you lied ok goodbye #and then years later that man goes through insane traps bc he lied like. genuinely kind of insane movie. but in the best way

My friend (age, gender and sexuality completely irrelevant for this post) is just starting to discover Queer Media™, and like, it is AMAZING to watch, but also due to this being the 2020s and my almost decade-long Special Interest in this subject, they now have immediately access to all the best stuff.

This person watched But I'm a Cheerleader, D.E.B.S. AND Mystere a la Tour Eiffel all in one evening, instead of having to laboriously mentally rewrite Star Trek / Xena: Warrior Princess / Supernatural / The Captain America trilogy like us normal people. CAN YOU IMAGINE.

#when I was visiting them we watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show together #after which I introduced them to the existence of Lil Nas X. #like. ALL OF THE BEST quality gay shit just dropped in one go #instead of having to do a long online detective work where you just kind of go by word of mouth from breadcrumb to breadcrumb #the other thing is that there really IS more queer stuff out there #when I started to discover the concept of shipping my first REAL ship (where I interacted with material for) was the Doctor and the Master #they are canon now #and genderfluid #frikking DESTIEL is canon! #like can you IMAGINE going back to 2013 and telling this to our collective former self #or showing them something like Nimona #even Disney has a queer movie for fuck's sake! #yes they did everything to nerf it but just. #appreciate the progress for a second #personal #queer representation

Hey losers and losettes,

I’m in the very early stages of starting a little diy zine about horror movies! I have no experience in this so advice is appreciated lol. But I’m hoping to have it out by July. I’m calling it PHOBIA and the theme of this one is summer horror, so not strictly ones that take place in summer but they got the vibes. Along with the horror theme there’s also gonna be a smaller section about upcoming music/concerts/etc too. Going to attempt to have it in print but it may end up digital if that’s easier for me. And I’m having open submissions!

I’m open to all things, art, reviews and rantings, movie recommendations, original fiction or horror poetry, even your urban legends (got a story about a evil ice cream truck lol I’d love to hear it!). The subjects so far are:

House of wax 2005

Sharp objects 2018

X 2022

Texas Chainsaw 3d 2013, though I haven’t watched it yet..

Hopefully Maxxxine 2024 if one of my local theaters plays it when it comes out

Music, so if you want a shameless plug of your band hit me up!

And anything else I (or you) can think of

So if that’s something your interested in email me at: [email protected]

#m talks #or of course you can dm me on here too if you want #I kind of have no clue what I’m doing but I want to give it a shot #yeah even if you just want to say that house of wax is the worst movie you ever saw or whatever that’s good too I like variety #I probably won’t really distribute this anywhere may be able to get a shelf spot out a local record store but that’s about as public as itl- #get in the irl world. as for online or like snail mail idk bout that yet either but am open to it #would love to send a copy to anyone that contributes also #but um yeah! hmu! we trying to get creative in here lol. also yeah I’ll probably reblog this a few times then have it replace my pinned for #a while too. again advice is welcome from anyone experienced in the zine or art world out there #queing this for in the morning for reach #also have to go brush my teeth #oh yes and I need to make a mag tag hold on. okay here it is-> #PHOBIA mag #okay now for the shameless attention tagging #zines #zine promo #horror zine #house of wax #sharp objects #x 2022 movie #x 2022 #texas chainsaw 3d

One of my favorite kinds of surreal horror is when something deeply wrong is happening, potentially something immediately threatening, but the characters can't notice it. Objects disappear or their surroundings warp and they just don't register it. Or a complete stranger joins the group and is greeted as their well-known good buddy or longstanding coworker. Or something about the internal logic of the setting or their past is completely, obviously broken - not in a plot hole way, but in an explicitly contradictory way - and no one notices.

#trio of deep sin my beloved #that moment when hana points out ryotaro's backstory has a completely broken timeline and he hadn't registered it before my beloved #several stranger/spiral statements my beloved #a lot of dawn stuff in s5 my beloved #a lot of scp articles my beloved. but some of the scp stuff in this vein isn't much fun to me i guess #it's too much about uhhhh (waves hands) it's really hard to describe but the vibes are off #so not a bad thing just. something i can't get into #i actually can’t think of any horror movies like this off the top of my head #some that were kind of crookedly adjacent. like rather than literally people not seeing that it’s Fucked #the social norms prevent them from acknowledging That’s Fucked

So the thing about Nope that has unexpectedly stuck with me is the particular kind of gruff, stoic cowboy masculinity that is portrayed in OJ Senior, and which I am familiar with in a way that I have a lot of mixed feelings about. The kind of man who takes all his anger and pain and fear and sensitivity and channels it into Work. Practical, not prone to using more words than necessary, certainly capable of being harsh but only because life made him that way. Definitely has a soft side but only shows the tiniest glimpses of it at a time. And even though OJ Sr’s part in the movie is technically very small, it still feels like he’s there the whole time - not only as a tangible presence, a ghost haunting the narrative (the horse he died on was Ghost) but also in his son, who is his own wonderful character but also obviously takes so much of himself from his father. Em loves and understands him so much and yet his stoic near-silence obviously frustrates her at times. @horseshit-posts (hope u don’t mind me tagging) recently made a great post about how to him, staying to take care of the horses and his home was not brave or heroic, it was just the thing to do. It was just his job, just Work, just all that his father had built, and if he abandoned it who would he be? What would he have?

I’m not saying it’s necessarily an entirely healthy way to be in the long run. In addition to hampering your ability to deal with your emotional baggage it also makes you seem distant and unknowable at times to even the people closest to you. But it doesn’t make you bad, and it sure as hell doesn’t make you unloveable. I know because my grandfather was the same way. He died a couple weeks ago. I went to his memorial service the day before I saw Nope, and I felt like I was watching him on that screen, and feeling him in that house, the same way I feel him in this one. I saw my dad in OJ Jr, and a little of my brothers and maybe myself too. I think about that grumpy old cowboy as I navigate this house, slightly emptier now but still full of his cowboy hats and barn keys and Dickies and work gloves. I think of my stoic and unknowable father, still alive and still very much loved despite his flaws and mistakes, and his even more stoic and unknowable father, whose ashes are now in a box down the hall from me, who died in a room right next to mine and whose scuffed up old boots are too big for any of us to fill. And I don’t know what my point really is with any of this except to say that I’m really glad I saw that movie when I did. I didn’t expect it to have a happy ending but when I saw OJ through the dust I started sobbing. And I just know his and Em’s dad would have been so proud of them both, even if he might not have said it out loud.

One of the more notable differences when going from being a casual horror fan to a more seasoned veteran horror fan is when your favorite slasher changes.

The more casual fans will say "oh my favorite slasher is Freddy/Jason/Michael!" - the vanilla ice cream of faves.

You know you're in the weeds when you answer something like Chromeskull from Laid to Rest 1 & 2 or the Driller Killer from Slumber Party Massacre 2

#horror movies #horror #slasher #when i first really got into horror as a teen my answer would be Michael because i was the most vanilla bitch of all #nowadays... I dont really watch slasher stuff. or at the very least the most stereotyped version of them #my gut reaction is to say candyman but a part of me doesn't think of him as a slasher. but he's kind of on the same page as freddy? #idk. watch prom night 2: hello mary lou
