I remember skipping my 4th hour class nearly every day for the second semester one year because my 4th hour was gym first semester and I could go there and play and run and have fun because the teachers thought I was still in the class.

I loved gym class so much, more than any other class, including art class.

Wow, now there's a bot going around on Ao3 telling people that the "moderators" will delete works from "deprecated" fandoms and impose bans.

Fearmongering bullshit, but it's fearmongering bullshit that seems to be taking advantage of the recent spotlight series in order to trick authors into deleting their fics.

Just. Why.

What the hell does anyone get out of making these bots.

I may not be a mortician or a doctor but I do know basic decay (based off writing!!! 😅) and I don't think anyone understands how NASTY HoW (2005) would actually be. Like, we are talking Louisiana heat on top of swamp like humidity and a town filled with corpses. We only got a tiny taste (ew) from the road kill pit in the beginning.

TRIGGER WARNING: Body horror, corpses, decay etc.

Let's ignore the whole face peeling thing of Wade's bc I'm not saying it couldn't happen but most likely once the numbing agent wears off it would be like someone with 1st and 2nd degree burns (Even extremely hot the first wax would cool once it hits your skin and act as a protective layer from harsher burns I highly doubt the wax would give 3rd degree or adhere to the skin completely) and the victim could move (painfully); cracking some of the wax seal and leave to get help or try to. So let's toss that out for realism. I mean, the wax museum made of actual wax was the most unrealistic of all (Where THE HELL did Trudy get that much wax? Damn yall were rich rich huh?) so eh we're just going with what realism we can here.

But a dead body:

1. It would only work if you had stilts or poles in the clothes (or skin...) bracing the body to stand. Sitting? As long as you stabalized the neck it could work.

2. The wax would preserve for maybe a week before the body starts to rot. Maybe a few days. Maybe a day. But since Vincent doesn't embalm? They'd rot like a normal body in a few days to weeks depending on weather. The corpses wouldn't last years or even months like in the movie (Then again...A building made of wax? In Louisiana? Yeah logic flew out the window but idc)

3. Eyes would rot first and unless Vincent is willing to scoop them out and replace them with glass eyes; you'd see a 'statue' with flies on the eyes, mouth, nose and the eyes looking milky.

And I feel like they hinted THEY DO do this eventually once the victim starts rotting bc:

^ That? Those are definitely glass or wax eyes bc in a fire the eyes melt first. So...Yeah, Vincent most likely is getting grosser than the movie suggested and replacing the victims eyes with fake ones.

4. The organs would rot and then the skin...But it has a protection of wax that wouldn't become 'fused to the skin' like the movie acts like with Wade. It would only act as a like...Shell. So if a corpse got knocked over? It wouldn't be this most likely. (Maybe certain corpses in the right conditions would be mummified especially in the winter)

5. Seepage would happen and it would be NASTY af. Like, Carly should've looked over and saw a 'statue' have a gross smell and something brown leaking from behind the Glass/Wax eye.

Most likely? Soup. It would be more like mushy decay and bones in that sludge and even if time went by that wax would just make that nastiness last longer. We're talking mushy soup like decay INSIDE the wax like a shell. Like you put liquid inside a hollow chocolate egg. It may last a bit but eventually that liquid will deteriorate the shell.

6. The Louisiana heat would slowly melt the wax. Melted wax + gravity = the body rot pooling downward. Aka...That movie theater? DISGUSTING. The smell should've hit Carly and Nick so hard they're gagging and puking while trying to be quiet and hide. Dripping heard over Bette Davis singing where the bodies sat in the seats. Pools of disgusting matter and melted flesh and wax. Flies EVERYWHERE. It would've been almost unbearable for Carly to sit next to a corpse sitting in its own melted decay and trying not to alert Bo (WHICH WOULD MAKE IT BETTER FOR ANXIETY)

7. Bugs. Flies would be all over that town. They loosely touched base on this with the cockroaches in the older wax corpse of the theater usher.

And IN TIME with enough bugs and the right conditions + stilts holding him in place that could've happened but...Imagine your looking at a statue. It smells bad but you can't help noticing the skin moving. One poke? Maggots. The flies and maggots would be unreal. We just had a dead wild baby bunny in 70 degree weather and went to bury it the next day and my mom had to SHAKE the maggots off and OUT of it. ONE DAY!....Now, imagine Ambrose. 90+ degrees and humidity and dead bodies of humans that attract a lot of flies that can still get in through the nose and ears and mouth if its propped open?

Now where am I going with this? HoW wasn't as visceral as it would be irl and I love Southern Gothic but they lowkey missed so many opportunities

We could've had:

- Flies. Just subtle cityfolk like Dalton being like, "Man, what is with all the flies and that smell? Damn it must be the road kill pit nearby from that guy. (Lester)." AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN THE PERFECT COVER TOO. Like so perfect I don't EVEN BEGIN to understand why they didn't use Lester's road kill pit as an excuse for the town smelling bad or flies???? Instead, Lester just so happens to be a roadkill guy with carcass pit way outside of town and there's no plot for it.

- The Sinclair's are not just greedily collecting tourist to abuse and kill for fun or to fill an overflowing town. THEY NEED them. Because the corpses keep rotting and they need to keep the town going so they NEED to constantly lure tourist.

- Carly under that Priest and imagine the smell and she just slightly moves...Remember that weight we talked about? Imagine you poke a ballon too weak to hold a bunch of slop inside? Imagine the horror of her having to stay quiet when something is fucking dripping on her. I'd die. I'd have to just fist fight Bo right then and there out disgusted adrenaline. Eddie in IT 2017 where he gets puked on and is like 'I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!' in disgusted rage? That would be me fr.

- A maggot or bug coming out of a 'statues' eye or nose

- How vile the movie theater would be with all those bodies just collecting in the equivalent of a hot box because idk HOW they could generate and a/c an entire town 24/7. And what if a storm hits and electricity goes out? Bo and Vincent are probably rushing to fuel the generators bc they know more time w/o a/c = rot. Fast.

Like the script somewhat touched on like 'the sink was filled with food it smelled awful' blah blah and I GET they went more southern gothic than tcm hooror but honestly the only 'normal' corpse would've been Trudy in the casket because she's laying down untouched and Vincent probably adds wax and makeup constantly to preserve her and that feels symbolic. They might even keep A/C on in the Church (doubt it) just to preserve her and hell...Maybe she WAS embalmed and they stole her back? I mean...If she died, it couldn't have been offical or reported like Bo lied bc no State is gonna be like 'Oh you want your Mama's corpse? Well sure!'

So I doubt it but who knows. It's just obvious out of all the wax 'statues' she's by far the most preserved and would be and that feels symbolic.
