I Miss The Old Days When We Could Go Into The Woods To Fight Monsters And Undiscovered Creatures And

Continuing on that note I feel that there is also horror in surviving these encounters. There the death that’s awful but there is also fear in knowing that you experienced that while all others died. We live in a society we’re people are getting hurt left and right while others never can’t even imagine that pain. It hurts to know people died, or even that people live through this and we just sit here, as they do work that will probably bring us something that we won’t even think is that important, even with all the blood it holds.

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

I thought Stan was going to tell him how to bully them with kys too.

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well

bonus under the cut:

I like the idea that Billy and Marvel are completely separate beings but still act the same so almost every interaction is just

Billy (Golf announcer voice): And there goes Two face, or now both one face as they take the lead on the three legged race. Unfortunate that a good man like Harvey Dent became such a violent criminal after his accident.

Marvel (Also in Golf announcer voice): It comes from his unassisted D.I.D., which he most likely hid as it developed as D.I.D. is seen in quite a negative within modern society, leaving many ostracized and falling through the cracks of medical assistance, instead of being helped to not cure it but to assist in living with it.

Billy: Well said Marvel, now it looks like they’re trying to take a leap and-

Both half’s of Two Face fall knocking down most of the others like dominos

Billy and Marvel: (Trying their hardest to not laugh and failing miserably.

I just remembered an idea I had where a bunch of DC characters who are kinda like 2 people in 1 body get temporarily separated, without any of the consequences that would normally come with that. They are then put into sort of game show to see how well they work together with their ‘other half’, and it is broadcasted across the world.

People like Etigran, Two Face, Creeper and more all get seperated. Some challenges they face include the newly wed game, three legged races, and various other cooperative games.

There’s tons of arguments, fighting, and a general lack of beating any challenges.

Billy and Captain Marvel work together so beautifully that whoever started the whole thing decided they didn’t need to keep playing so they spend rest of the game narrating together like those sports announcers. Billy’s a radio host and has great chemistry with Marvel so they’re extremely entertaining.

Occasionally they will take a few minutes to roast the contestants kind of like those old muppet men. It’s great and the viewers love it so much they forget their shock over the whole ‘Captain Marvel is using a young boy as his host/anchor to this realm’ thing.

Multiple contestants try to kill their other half. When they fail Billy and Marvel say “Womp womp” in sync.

I don’t know who se was but the image of putting this made me laugh…

Anyways, Fall

Do you think they got the idea of vampires being able to charm people because of how cute normal vampire bats are…
