AARON STANFORD: a million different people

hey hey it’s still the 27th here! god i had to claw through so many sites to get all the clips i wanted, and all things considered, it turned out pretty darn good! i really wanted to finish this today, so i’m glad i was able to really lock in and get it done. i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed making it! :)

Having someone else who enjoys children’s shows and really messed up horror just as much as I do means I can watch The Hills Have Eyes (2006 remake) and the SpongeBob Musical with my brother and we can look at each other and say “Yeah, that was fire.” to both movies.

Are The Hills Have Eyes mutants considered slashers ? This movie traumatized me when I was younger ok it was not a fun ride lol. For some reason, I wanted to study Lizard's teeth and cleft lip since he looks pretty interesting, one of the more 'normal' I guess. I played around with the teeth a bit to see what looked. Kinda like the outcome.

I recently got a whole bunch of likes on my Big Brain content, and I'm thinking maybe I should post some more about him soon.

My much more vanilla Hills Have Eyes fandom idea thing is Doug managing to round up Ruby, Venus, and Mercury and bringing them with him when he reunites with Bobby and Brenda (the kids join the family).

[buk0wskis]

the only time doug allowed himself to grieve the loss of lynn, ethel, and big bob was when he was locked in the freezer. let me explain.

in hills ‘06, a lot of loss happens, and it happens fast. in a single night, not even a span of two hours, doug witnesses big bob burn to death, and while he is trying to save his father-in-law, his wife and mother-in-law are respectively killed and nearly killed, and then he watches his mother-in-law die as he does what he can to make her comfortable before she does. like any horror protagonist that loses part of their family, he knows he has to be strong. for bobby, for brenda, for himself. the kids have their opportunities to grieve, and can’t hold themselves back from it. doug, however, doesn’t have this opportunity yet.

yes, he does scream in the trailer, slumped on the floor against the cabinet. though i argue that that wasn’t him letting himself grieve. i like to think of that as, simply, the shock. now, i’m not saying that wasn’t grief; it just wasn’t the singular moment he allowed himself to feel his grief.

what was that moment, then? the freezer.

think about it. he’d been knocked out, and he has no idea how to tell how long he’d been out. doug was already surrounded by death, the death of his family, and now he is literally surrounded by death. parts of strangers that he has no idea how long they’ve been there. a realization sets in: what if he’d been out for so long that catherine, bobby, and brenda were dead, too? that sets in as a truth he has no means of proving at that moment, and it sets in that he couldn’t save them. that’s all he’d meant to do, going out to save catherine and get them all home. in his mind, he’d failed them. he’d failed big bob, ethel, lynn. his siblings-in-law, beauty and beast, his baby daughter. even himself.

it comes to a head in his panic, trying desperately to escape this cramped prison he’s found himself in. you hear it in his voice, see it in his strength: every stage of grief is being expressed in some way, all at once. i like to think it’s mostly expressed physically. sure, that freezer’s been there for so many years, unkempt, dirty, rusted. the lock can’t be too good, likely rusted to all hell. but it did lock, which means it works to an extent. the fact that doug had the strength to bust the lock at all, and from the inside, is a feat.

doug is certainly no bodybuilder. i don’t think the guy’s yoked. he’s well on his way to a dad bod (god bless). that strength in that position from him was likely more than he had ever expressed in a single moment, and i strongly believe that is an expression of his grief.

one would think he would give up, let himself die in there. but he wanted to live. think of a part of him shaking him through the pain and suffering that he could be wrong. those kids could still be alive, waiting for him. catherine could still be alive, waiting for him. so he chooses to escape. to live. and that was the best choice he could have made.

this isn’t to say any of his grief was processed. i certainly don’t think it was. it will be a very long time, and a very difficult process, before any of his trauma his processed. and hell, i wonder if it ever will be. but he allowed himself to grieve, if only for a few moments in his panic. and it was those few moments made him stronger.

tbh I think it’s brave of us to even review the trailer of Alexandre Aja’s latest horror after the way we felt about The Hills Have Eyes (2006)! but halle berry has us in a choke hold! in our latest patreon trailer reaction, we take a look at the first trailer for Never Let Go (2024)! y’all this looks SCARY!

I just watched both The Hills Have Eyes remakes and I swear I always get attached to characters that aren't meant to have any or have little romantic storyline. Like tell me why I ship Napoleon and Amber from The Hills Have Eyes 2 and why I love Tommy Jarvis and Meg form Jason Lives so much or Scott and Roberta from Now And Then. Like I'm just setting myself up for hurt because these storylines and dynamics get no conclusion.
