But the horror… The horror was for love. The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love and it makes monsters of us all.
Look. Even if you don’t like the horror in crimson peak, you have to admit the movie looks great and the costumes are fabulous. That moth vs butterfly symbolism?? Amazing.
Crimson Peak is SO fucking funny when they first get to the house and Hiddles is like. Oh yeah forget to mention, giant hole in the roof. Also the floor is rotten, someday the whole foundation will collapse. And don't be alarmed if the pipes start bleeding! It's just that the very ground beneath our feet is oozing red liquid, absolutely drenched with it, as though the entire house is bleeding and bloodstained, as though the very earth our family legacy is built upon were one great open wound.
I fucking love Gothic settings. Don't worry about it Edith, welcome to your very normal and inhabitable house.
my favorite detail about the crimson peak set design is that the hallways of the haunted gothic house look like mouths ringed with sharp teeth, like leeches or some other life-draining parasite
