horror sub-genres • ecological horror
the complicated relationship between earth and humans has been very extensive, and this sub-genre shows mother nature fighting back against humans with plagues, animals, weather, or all three.

Do you think the new division of Cartoon Network Studios will end up exploiting and abusing AI to make new cartoons of their old properties?
I wouldn't put it past any studio to do this.
We're at the end of The Animation Industry As We Know It, so studios are going to do anything and everything they can to stay alive.
The way I see it is:
AI "art" isn't actually art. Art is created by humans to express ideas and emotions. Writing prompts allows a computer to interpret human ideas and emotions by taking other examples of those things and recombining them.
Just because something isn't art doesn't mean that humans can't understand it or find it beautiful. We passed a really fun prompt generation milestone about a year ago where everything looked like it was made by a Dadaist or someone on heavy psychedelics. Now we're at the Uncanny Valley stage. Soon, you won't be able to tell the difference.
It's not just drawings and paintings that are effected, but writing and film. It's every part of the entertainment industry. And the genie is out of the bottle. I've seen people saying that prompt-based image generators have "democratized" art. And I see where they're coming from. In ten years, I can easily see a future where anyone can sit down at their desk, have a short conversation with their computer, and have a ready-to-watch, custom movie with flawless special effects, passable story, and a solid three act structure. You want to replace Harrison Ford in Star Wars with your little brother and have Chewbacca make only fart sounds, and then they fly to Narnia and fistfight Batman? Done.
But, sadly, long before we reach that ten year mark, the bots will get hold of this stuff and absolutely lay waste to existing art industries. Sure, as a prompter I guess you can be proud of the hours or days you put into crafting your prompts, but you know what's better than a human at crafting prompts? Bots. Imagine bots cranking out hundreds of thousands of full-length feature films per minute. The noise level will squash almost any organic artist or AI prompter out of existence.
AI images trivialize real art. The whole point of a studio is to provide the money, labor, and space to create these big, complicated art projects. But if there are no big, complicated art projects, no creatives leading the charge, and no employees to pay... what the fuck do we need studios for? We won't, but their sheer wealth and power will leave them forcing themselves on us for the rest of our lives.
The near future will see studios clamp down on the tech in order to keep it in their own hands. Disney does tons of proprietary tech stuff, so I'm sure they're ahead of the game. Other studios will continue to seek mergers until they can merge with a content distribution platform. I've heard rumors of Comcast wanting to buy out either WB or Nick. That's the sort of thing I'm talking about. The only winners of this game will be the two or three super-huge distribution platforms who can filter out enough of the spam (which they themselves are likely perpetuating) to provide a reasonable entertainment experience.
400,000 channels and nothing's on.
I do think that money will eventually make the "you can't copyright AI stuff" thing go away. There's also the attrition of "Oh, whoops! We accidentally put an AI actor in there and no one noticed for five years, so now it's cool."
One way or another, it's gonna be a wild ride. As the canary in the coal mine, I hope we can all get some UBI before I'm forced to move into the sewers and go full C.H.U.D.

this interview from fangoria #32 (pg. 10) with c.h.u.d. producer andrew bonime was cracking me up because he basically spoils the entire movie in this 2 page interview but also it's kind of charming to see how much he believed in this movie as a contribution to the horror genre but also the political aspects of the film that drive the plot that genuinely do have value in discussing views on environmentalism and poverty and government conspiracies and fears surrounding urban life which are as relevant today as they were when this movie came out. people think i'm joking when i tell them how much i like this movie but i really do like this movie a lot, i think it really commits to the premise and finds a lot to explore in it and makes a lot of interesting connections and speaks to some cultural ideas a lot of people take for granted. in this interview, you can tell that the story was written with real thought and care! even if it's "just" a schlocky 80s creature feature. anyway..... one of the responses i get to this post about gore as a storytelling device is that filmmakers in horror don't "intend" the meaning i'm reading into it so it somehow doesn't count and they shouldn't "get credit" for it if it wasn't intentional. well, this just goes to show you that you can have all the intention in the world to create a political, super scary sci-fi thriller and every review will say it's stupid, cheap, meaningless schlock with some "unintentional" moments of humor or political relevance. maybe that makes it an unsuccessful movie, fair enough, but don't tell me you don't see the dissonance between the production of b-movies and their perception in pop culture. i see it all the time with slumber party massacre too, like people will say the humor is unintentional or they pass along this half-true idea that the original script was a comedy but the filmmakers didn't realize that so the humor doesn't land, but like! it's meant to be a satire! that "unintentional" humor is just. you getting the joke that the filmmakers intended for you to make. yes there was an original script that was more slapstick/parody, the final script was toned down in that respect but it's still comedic! intentionally! if the humor doesn't land, fine, it's not for you, but it's not because the filmmakers were somehow unaware of the intent of the script. ugh. anyway. it's also funny though because as much as c.h.u.d. is disparaged like this, bonime in turn disparages slasher movies in this interview lol it's like okay, stones and glass houses my guy. with all that having been said, uh. sorry if you don't like c.h.u.d. i guess, i definitely get that it's not for everyone but i also don't like it when people immediately have bad faith interpretations of b-movies, i think those of us who love a cult classic understand that there's a lot more to get out of these kinds of movies than what meets the eye and there's a lot more fun to be had when you go into watching them with an open mind and, well, reasonable expectations.
