horror + the cure

Lake Mungo dir. Joel Anderson

the dog we just rescued turned out to be an extremely hostile and dangerous shapeshifting alien
can’t have shit in Antarctica

In the first 5 minutes of The Thing (1982), a serious horror movie about serious antarctic scientists:

MacReady pours whiskey into a computer because it ‘cheats’ at chess
the doc (played by Wilford Brimley) has a nose ring
the cook rolls around base on rollerskates
the mechanic lights up a blunt with a roach clip using a tig welder
the dead Norwegian’s corpse is just sitting on the ping pong table
also the dog’s an alien parasite but right now that’s the least exciting part

WOMEN WHO LEVITATE: A HORROR PHENOMENON
THE CRAFT (1996), THE BABADOOK (2014), HEREDITARY (2018), IT (2017), THE CONJURING (2013), JENNIFER’S BODY (2009), THE WITCH (2015), THE EXORCIST (1973)

“Female levitators are often maligned as ridiculous, dangerous characters, often by men. This is a very old trait, but was solidified and given shape by the influential Jesuit theologian Martin Delrio, who published Magical Investigations in 1599 – 1600. His book popularized the idea that demon spirits could possess or inhabit a female human body. It also suggested how to identify and track them. For the witch-hunters and storytellers of early modern Europe, the levitating, flying witch was a figure of grotesque femininity.”

The undead surround me. Have you ever talked to a corpse? It’s boring! I’m lonely! Take your life, David. Kill yourself… before you kill others.
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981) dir. John Landis
