Are we ever going to have fanstasy movies that are this level of good quality again? Because I miss the times when movies acully felt magical.

And NO this is not just my childhood nostalgia talking, because I didn't see Pan's labyrinth, Jim hensons labyrinth, Neverending story, the princess bride or fully watched the Lord of the rings movies until I was in my early twenties, I just wish that more movies cloud be as whimsical because it's sad that we dont have movies that embraces the fairytale anymore.

I think I have a pretty darn good top ten movies list going

[spellbound-willow]

An under-utilized Horror subgenre:

Fae Horror

There’s so many ways to do it! So many aspects of fae that make for solid horror concepts.

Being taken away, coming back wrong, being replaced by something else, transforming into something, the cold indifference of nature, getting tricked or manipulated, holes in the ground, feeling like you’re being watched, time moving faster while you’re gone, getting lost in the woods, games, riddles, myths and fate

There’s not a lot of examples of fae horror but here are some I have seen starting from overt fae stuff to objectively not fae but my personal interpretations

- Pan’s Labyrinth – the most obvious, I think they actually use the term fairy. You even see the Court.

- The Hole in the Ground – the title kind of solidified my point. Nature, holes in the ground, changeling horror

- Coraline – come on, the Beldam is totally an unseelie. She takes children, and she loves to imitate real life, trick people and play games

- The Midnight House – I can’t really explain this one without spoiling the whole movie, if you know you know. Basically the house and the reason for the house.

- Hellraiser – the most controversial on this list but the riddles, puzzles, pain and pleasure, interdimensional beings beyond our understanding, you see what I’m saying right?

- Over the Garden Wall – not technically horror but it is very spooky and fae, especially closer to the end. Another world, lost in the woods, things aren’t as they seem, The Beast loves to trick people, talking animals, Adelaide of the Pasture, and one of the main antagonists isn’t even a character, it’s the indifference of nature

- Annihilation – the strange dimension, the body horror (especially the flowers scene), nature warping, the rainbows everywhere, the doubles, time warps, coming back wrong, being replaced. I think it’s a totally valid interpretation

Please add more if you can think of any! I only listed ones I have personally seen, movies I’ve only heard of before didn’t make the list but if you have recommendations or personal interpretations please share!
