horror sub-genres: folk horror

А, моя первая попытка сделать "ремикс" одного из моих любимых саундтреков из игр. / Ah, my first attempt to make a "remix" of one of my favorite game soundtracks.

I have been Inscribed

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986). This is the best one, right?

random magicks npcs thoughts / head canons i have floating in my head

i like the idea that James was friends with Lonely before james was evicted. Lonely's trial of being completely isolated was a result of this, and the isolation trial would also serve as a means of preventing Lonely from forming friendships with goobert and the future ruby mage. Magnificus isn't lying when he says he does this to "unlock the full potential of the mind," but he is still very much doing it because No Fun Allowed

Magnificus' enmity towards James was passed on to Amber when she was introduced to the game. I think students of Magnificus practice normal studies before facing their "finals," but Amber promptly vivisected before he could even gauge her personality due to his disgust and paranoia with the previous ruby mage

the students are drawn towards different types of art; Goobert paints to take after his master, James and Lonely enjoy dance, Amber is more of a writer/poet, since thinking about words was the most she could do without a body

i feel like seriously describing junji ito's horror works as simply "wouldn't it be fucked up if this happened" is dumb because it's such a vague description that most other horror works can also be described as that. For example:

"Wouldn't it be fucked up if your house suddenly started creating new rooms and changed its dimensions on you?" (House of Leaves, specifically The Navidson Record)

"Wouldn't it be fucked up if the doors, windows, and your parents suddenly disappeared out of nowhere?" (Skinamarink)

"Wouldn't it be fucked up if a clown in a sewer started killing kids?" (It)

among others.

Not to mention, most of Ito's works do have deeper meaning to them, specifically targetting japanese culture. This video touches on his shorter works, but even his larger works have metaphorical meaning.

Junji Ito describing his mindset on writing Gyo as "man it would suck if sharks had legs" is real funny, but it's also critiquing Japan's war crimes in WWII; the origin of the "legs" being from World War II when the Imperial Japanese Army was trying to create biochemical weapons cannot be a coincidence. Hellstar Remina is about a hostile alien planet, but it's also an allegory of fans turning on a girl because of something beyond her control, reminiscent of idol culture. Hell, even Uzumaki, probably one of his greatest "WTF" horror works, is also about a pair of teenagers being unable to escape their hometown, unable to expand their horizons in the outside world. they just keep going in circles, unable to escape.

I don't know, at this point describing Ito's works only being "wouldnt it be fucked up if this thing happened" is starting to feel like "the curtains are blue because the author likes the color blue" but like. for horror
