Gonna make something real clear right now.

Aside from the eLevAteD hOrrOr takes, I think another horror take I hate is the whole “Japanese horror is better than Western horror”
it’s such a narrow and flat statement that relies on the whole “thing<<Japanese thing” mindset that I DESPISE.
Horror as a genre for general audience consumption, relies on general and cultural fears. If you go by western horror, the common denominator is fear of your fellow man with supernatural horrors not being seen as scary unless it deals with Christian centric demons. Folklore & spirituality (not religion) hasn’t had as much sway on the general public here as it does in other countries unless your in certain regions. A lot of Appalachian, Cajun/Creole, and Indigenous folklore and superstitions for instance are very well-regarded. So a horror movie centering on that CAN be scary to folks who believe in that. That also goes for alien horror back then, nowadays a lot of folks are way more open about aliens showing up cause they sick of it here lol.
Its why you’ll get some western horror movie fans who just “don’t get” horror styles from other countries. Even now in our eLevAteD hOrrOr era, we still showcase that those of us in the west are generally still scared of other humans rather than anything paranormal. Even if we disguise it with topics such as grief and trauma, the perpetrators are always other people.
Japanese horror (not all but what’s often praised) focus on superstition and folklore and it’s not hard to see why when a country has a general spirituality where everything as a place, spirit, or being protecting it. Especially when certain types of death (oftentimes depending on the person) can create a spirit that’s either benevolent, evil, or a mix of the two depending on who they have beef with.
In a way, Japanese horror is the fear of nature or the spirits either striking back or showing a rage that can’t be stopped.
That being, Japanese horror and Western horror literally do the same thing. As does horror EVERYWHERE! Combining fears with societal issues.
Like take Ju-On, sure it’s scary because of the creepy spirits but in a country where misogyny is a norm, a woman wronged coming to enact vengeance would be terrifying. The same can be said for Tomie and Audition.
Of course this is not restricted to folklore/spiritual fears but other brands of fears and worries.
Danganronpa is the natural fear of “the end” that causes folks to either ignore it or lose themselves in a way that harms those around them and it urges that hope and active optimism is the only counter.
Resident Evil/Biohazard uses zombies and all other types of infections while showing that the real demise of humanity or someone’s humanity is when the tools that could be used to help people are twisted through corporate greed, apathy towards your fellow man, and narcissism.
the fears don’t have to be rational either (see America’s foreigners and non-whites are coming to ruin our western life era of horror or the poors are gonna ruin our lives era of horror)
Some Western examples? Us which mixes the class issues and self-destructive behavior with the doppelgänger myth and the conspiracy of government cloning.
Black Christmas combines the legend of “the call coming from inside the house” with up-frontal fear and anger of change as the women being targeted stands along side second-wave feminism, specifically Roe v Wade.
The first Halloween does the boogeyman shtick but also shows how the danger is not some foreigner but it can very well be your neighbor. Not some guy in a mask, but the indifference to who and what’s around you as Laurie’s neighbors hear her screams and ignore her, even going as far as to turn off the lights on her.
At the end of the day tho, it’s not gonna scare or unsettle or disturb you if you have no fear stakes in it.
But in conclusion…..shut your pretentious Japanophile ass up and just appreciate horror.

Planned Parenthood is going to invest millions to protect reproductive rights in the age of Kavanaugh
Planned Parenthood is going to invest millions to protect reproductive rights in the age of Kavanaugh

Pro-choice advocates have been (justifiably) worried about the safety of reproductive rights ever since Brett Kavanaugh was nominated for an appointment to the Supreme Court. And now that Kavanaugh has been confirmed, the threat to a woman's right to choose feels even more real. But Planned Parenthood has announced a new plan to combat that potential reality.
Today, October 10th, Planned Parenthood Action Fund announced a three-part plan to both protect and expand abortion access in the face of the Supreme Court's newly conservative majority. Through the multi-million dollar plan, called Care for All, the organization has pledged to expand access to its care, fight for pro-choice legislation, and work to destigmatize abortion.
“Already women across this country have to access funding; they have to access transportation; they have to access housing; they have to access support networks,” Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens told NPR. “That is gonna be a greater need if there are further restrictions when Roe is attacked by this court.”
The organization explained in its overview of Care for All that it would expand care in states where abortion will likely remain legal-like California. It also detailed plans to provide telemedicine for people living in remote areas, as well as financial aid and transportation assistance for those who have to travel long distances to seek care.
As far as policy is concerned, Planned Parenthood pledged to advocate for policy changes in 10 key states where it hopes to establish regional networks. And to help destigmatize abortion, the organization noted that it would collaborate with TV and filmmakers, as well as continue to educate through its own resources and videos.
We refuse to let our country become a place where people can no longer access abortion. Today, we launched #CareForAll - a nationwide effort to ensure that abortion is still accessible no matter what happens at the Supreme Court.

“There's no way to sugarcoat it,” Laguens wrote in a statement about the plan. “With Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, we will likely see the further erosion-and perhaps complete reversal-of Roe v. Wade soon. But Planned Parenthood is not going to let this become a country where people can no longer access safe and legal abortion.”
We mourn. We do what it takes to get through. We rage. We wake up and fight another day. We persist. #BelieveSurvivors pic.twitter.com/DBU5jrAD8I

Kavanaugh hasn't outright said he would vote to repeal Roe v. Wade, but some of his actions have caused alarm among pro-choice activists. In an email from Kavanaugh's days on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, published by The New York Times in September, the judge noted that the Supreme Court “can always overrule its precedent” when discussing Roe v. Wade. And during his confirmation hearing, he incorrectly referred to certain contraceptives as “abortion-inducing drugs.”
We're heartened to see Planned Parenthood stepping up to defend reproductive rights. The battle for the right to choose is far from over, and we will continue fighting-starting with the midterm elections on November 6th.

Matt Damon drops in to play Brett Kavanaugh on ‘SNL’
Season 44 of Saturday Night Live couldn’t have started anywhere else.
Matt Damon swooped in to portray Judge Brett Kavanaugh last night during the cold open, and he turned the Supreme Court nominee’s testimony into one-liners like “I like beer.” There was an Alyssa Milano joke.
But was it too soon? On Thursday, Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about allegations of sexual assault from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, reliving his high school years in the process.
Kavanaugh, a conservative, is feared as the Supreme Court voice who can overturn Roe v. Wade, the 45-year-old decision that keeps abortion legal. As multiple women come forward to accuse the judge of sexual misconduct, the idea of him getting a lifetime appointment to America’s highest court by President Donald Trump, who also has a long history with multiple sexual misconduct allegations, has created a crisis of conscience.
“If you think I’m angry wait until I get on that Supreme Court because then you’re all gonna pay,” Damon said in character.

On Twitter, the gag became an instant trending topic with near-universal acclaim. As comedian Rob Delaney wrote: “Matt Damon as Kavanaugh is funny because it was basically a condensed recap, not even a caricature, so you’re like holy shit that is what we literally just saw 2 days ago.”
Longtime political pundit and former Clinton advisor Paul Begala agreed. “Matt Damon perfectly captured the rage, self-aggrandizement, and self-pity of Brett Kavanaugh on the season premiere of @nbcsnl,” he tweeted.
Maybe, but I kept thinking about Alec Baldwin’s simultaneously spot-on and unfunny Trump imitation. What’s funny about verbatim quotes when the subject you’re ridiculing points his finger right back at you?
