right so you know how hugh laurie said house and wilson are like butch cassidy and the sundance kid? and you know how in the movie butch and sundance die together, only it actually ends before that can happen. but everyone Knows, they have put themselves in a situation where that's the only possible result, they are shot and already dying and they go out there one final time, facing unbeatable odds, Together. so you know, not unlike house and wilson at the very end, nice comparison there hugh. only he said it in 2008. the interview run at the beginning of season 5. he couldnt have know, could he. there's no way they had the ending planned so far in advance right. he compared them to this famous classic hollywood queercoded friends couple and he didn't even know how correct he was

kas!eddie playing with demogorgans like barbie dolls and making them act out scenes from his favourite movies and soap operas?
Kas!eddie trying to explain the emotional turmoil of the scene to demogorgan #1 who gets distracted by demogorgan #2 who is practicing their own lines (making noises that can vaguely be described as crying??) so kas!eddie has to slap it in the face and gives it the pep talk of a life time ‘this scene is riding on you. You want to let your scene partner down? You want to let me down? You want to let yourself down?’
Demogorgan #1 shaking their head and kas!eddie slapping it on the ass with a ‘got get ‘em, tiger!’ Before sitting on the director’s chair he fashioned out of rocks and vines and sighing to himself, it’s two days until showtime and these amateurs are going to make him look like a fool in-front of the other demogorgans and demo bats.

Whatcha thinking about rn?
i like horror, but you know what i like more than horror? what happens after the horror. what happens to the ones who survive.
an experience like that leaves you pretty messed up, especially if the events were in some way supernatural. like what are you gonna do when a demon kills all your friends? the cops show up and find you covered in blood, surrounded by bodies and you’re gonna tell them it was a demon? a monster? a ghost? there is no way they’ll believe you. and if they don’t think it was you, you’ll probably get institutionalized for telling people what really happened.
but if you choose to lie, keep the magical business a secret, you’re left with this horrible truth rotting a hole into your mind. you can reason away the events, try to forget it, but something like that will never really fully leave you. maybe you manage to block out at least the ghost parts, but those memories, that fear, will always be lingering in your subconscious. you will always, in the back of your mind, know.
and you’re suck with this. alone. everyone else who would fully believe you is dead. anyone you tell might apprehensively listen to your story, but they can’t fully believe you. how could they? they weren’t there. they didn’t see it all. but you did. only you did. you’re alone in this truth, no one to tell, no one to talk to who would really listen.
it’s a special kind of loneliness, the isolation that comes with such a burning secret.
(tma the lonely tma the lonely???? i could talk a lot most abt how this ties in specifically with the lonely from the magnus archives)
the horrors you experienced cast a shadow over your whole life, your whole future. what’s the point of anything if there are demons and monsters and horrible evil things beyond mortal human powers? college certainly seems insignificant in the face of an eternally hungry evil.
it’s interesting to see how traces of these themes show up in media that isn’t horror as well. children’s media where the teen main character discovers another world? so often in those stories, keeping this discovery a secret from their family and the rest of the world is a major point of distress. We see them bonding with people in this new world, but when they inevitably have to return to their own dimension, of course it’s so much harder for them to connect with their peers or participate in normal activities. befriending jessica seems a lot less significant now that you’ll never be able to share with her this place that is so important to you. history class or ballet lessons dont seem so useful when you’re learning to cast spells with your new fairy friends.
in more recent media(i’m thinking of two specific cartoons that i won’t name bc spoilers), the main characters share a lot more with their family and friends, and they’re mainly very supportive and loving which i find really nice. it helps the main character feel grounded in their own world and less isolated.
anyway back to horror movies, so many of them cut off right after the “final girl” is saved, which i think is a real shame. i knowww i know the main plot is over and the after stuff isn’t really necessary but MAN is it interesting. show me the survivor going back to school and not being able to find words for what happened when someone asks. show me them debating how much to tell their family and friends. show me them trying to return to normal and ignore how everything feels hollow. show me them struggling and healing and falling apart. pls and ty.
(also like two hours ago i saw a guy with the LONGEST pair of wireless earbuds i’ve ever seen and i’m still reeling from how strange they looked)

hi so i just finished bridge to terabithia and now i’m unwell and my eyes are red because i’ve been crying before i’d even reached 20 minutes of it for i actually knew what was going to happen and by the time i reached an hour something something i just straight up sobbing screaming into my pillow. and now it’s 12 am and i’m still thinking about them. because god, look at them, how they were, the little world they lived in, wouldn’t you just love that, to run away, to escape, to grasp that childhood naivety and innocence that you lost a long time ago, to feel the sun in your skin and the air in your lungs and to paint fantasies and laugh and play and run hidden away from the world and find an old run down tree house and decided to make it your own little shelter and pin up canvases on the worn wood and paint and let your creativity goes wild and have someone understand you and gets you and do it with you, and wouldn’t you just love to have something so constant, so sincere, so genuine, so pure, so real, that there wasn’t anything else. if i knew i was going to cry this much, if i knew how much space this movie would make in my life, i wouldn’t have started this movie tonight. i would have been in peace on the floor of my room, not realizing how badly i actually want something like this even though i would never unironically admit this to anyone in my life or even myself when i’m outside of the familiar place of my mind, for that matters

i just watched 3 episodes of doctor who back to back [well technically 4]
and the three i watched was the two parter library one, and the bus episode...
i'd say dw is borderline horror but honestly it's straight up horror. this series is spectacular in the horror department
shadows that contain beings that latch on and eat you before repeating the last words over and over again is a concept i would assume from a horror movie but instead made for a silly 'family friendly' sci-fi show
and a bottleneck episode of a parasite that mimics you on a planet where you physically cannot walk outside, and the bus they are on is stopped and the drivers are killed from radiation...
man this series is amazing
