I have come to the realization that 70s and 80s sci-fi and horror movies were just like that because chances are the filmmakers were all on coke during that time

Horrorween Day 27 / 31: Basket Case (1982) di. Frank Henenlotter: "Most of the credits that appear at the end of the film are fake. The crew was very small and, rather than repeat the same names over and over again, they decided to just make up names." | "When Duane checks into the Hotel Broslin, he takes out a wad of cash. According to director Frank Henenlotter, that money was the film's entire budget." | "The idea for the movie came to Frank Henenlotter when he was brainstorming movie titles that hadn't been used before. The title 'Basket Case' made him think of a monster living in a basket, and the film evolved from there."

The Basket Case movies are a decent example of how you gotta seriously roll with media being fucked up if you also want it to say some interesting stuff about complicated subjects, because for a series that characterizes pretty much all birth defects and disabilities through wildly exaggerated latex makeup, monster effects, and violence, can't argue about how it looks into how deeply unpleasant the rest of the world treats any difference. I mean sure the titular character is effectively a head that growls and kills everyone, but he's also getting PTSD flashbacks about horrific medical malpractice and it really is always the cops and the normies who come and fuck things up every time the supposed "freaks" manage to get a peaceful place of their own.

No one is ever going to hold any of them up and say "this is the great example of socially progressive media we all should emulate!" There's plenty of terrible shit in them, but that's kind of the faggotiness you have to have in the queerness if you want to speak to truth, the uncomfortable reality along side the hopeful dream, the lines and scars and fat folds of human nature that cement human joy against ascetic perfection, ya know?

Anyway, somewhere buried under all the latex makeup and infantilizing portrayals is this core certainty that it's fucked up how the world treats differences and the people whose authority dictate said treatment are true monsters, I think.
