just saw until dawn yesterday, which reminded me how much i love a good ol' classic slasher film. bunch of dumb college kids, a vacation in the middle of nowhere, and a blood-hungry killer on the loose- simple yet entertaining.

watched this for the first time, i‘m finding a special place in my heart a post-Scream horror teen 90s horror and the cast is wild, Elijah Wood, Clea DuVall, Salma Hayek, and a bunch of other famous faces. Would recommend to anyone who like their horror a little campy

I know I’m 1000 years late to the party here… I had friends on Tumblr like ten years ago who loved Rob Zombie but I initially dismissed his body of work and refused to watch any of his films. I already intuitively knew this to be true but this officially marks the point at which I confirm that I definitively have bad taste because I loved this movie. House of 1000 Corpses is a love letter to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and grindhouse cinema, and exists within the thematic subset of horror movies about people on a road trip who find themselves stranded in the worst place imaginable due to vehicular dysfunction—The Hills Have Eyes, House of Wax or Wrong Turn—which I LOVE. Like truly among my favorite concepts. Where I grew up, to get anywhere you would have to drive hours through empty desert with random little creepy houses and old gas stations (both operational and abandoned) littered along the way, and nothing in between. So these kinds of scenarios were like all I could ever imagine as a hysterical demented child. But I love this even more because it’s like okay what if you took those movies and made them more like Off Season by Jack Ketchum which was one of my favorite horror books as a teen (highly recommend if you’re a freak like me) and is so graphic and disturbing and hopeless. (See italicized footnote at the bottom for further thoughts…) But also add in goofy campy characters like a Harley Quinn/Elly May Clampett-type girl who likes to do makeup like Theda Bara and perform Marilyn Monroe songs on stage, her evil brother who looks like Riff Raff, and their mom who is like redneck Jennifer Coolidge played by KAREN BLACK (who slayed btw literally and figuratively). Combine it with a haunted house thrill ride and also make it weirdly hilarious, completely insane, and devoid of taste with absolutely no restraint. But with a hyper-stylized fantastical element that allows you to view the happenings on screen with some amount of remove and enjoy yourself rather than just feeling sickened and low-vibrational. Go off Robert Zombie!!!! (Footnote: All of these stories are based on the legend of the Sawney Bean family which okay blah blah anti-Scottish propaganda by the British—some scholars actually believe in its veracity as a true accounting of events—but like what if??? Wouldn’t that be sooo creepy to be on your horse at night, far away from other people, and come upon a band of inbred roaming cannibals and you have no phones no lights no motorcars not a single luxury and they take you into a damn CAVE. I can believe it happening because Fred and Rose West were unfortunately real. Well anyway if you like the terror that conjured up for you and are interested in its truest modern analogue read Open Season by Jack Ketchum or watch this movie I guess. Thanks for reading if you did)

I was cleaning my sink today and noticed the tiniest seedling sprouting inside. i'm so confused at the dynamics of this and it blows my mind how life finds its way even in the darkest and murkiest environments

massivelyyyy underrated. got myself a pistachio latte today at my local cafe cause it was their drink of the season, and oh my lord, i could have had 10 of them. beautiful. a local gelato place also does the most subtle pistachio gelato which cures my deep void every time i have it (also a pistachio emoji should exist already)
