#I need a great horror movie

[world-of-puppets]

I have conflicted feelings about the FNAF series in general, but seeing a movie where practical animatronic puppets are the primary focus of the film becoming not only financially successful but also well received by general audiences is pretty damn neat.

#five nights at freddy's #fnaf #fnaf movie #jim henson #halloween #the animatronics look genuinely so good #not only are they extremely faithful to the video game designs #but they also have such a great range of emotion and expression #the horror aspect of them isn’t overstated too much either #like so many horror puppets especially in the 2000s/2010s were very… in your face about the fact they were horror monster #like with a lot of grime and low saturated palettes and such #Idk I think horror puppets are better when they look kinda superficially not scary until they’re placed in the right context #like it would’ve been very easy to make the fnaf animatrocis look quote on quote realistic and grimy and obviously unsubtly horror-y #but they actually look like kids animatronics #like there are creepy aspects #like how tall they are or thier uncanny animatronic movements #but for the most part they literally do just look like chuck e cheese esque animatronics #thier creepiness has actual subtly #they’re endearing when they want to be and terrifying when they need to be #just very solid designs overal

What are some censorship rules that you feel you could most comfortably poke fun at without feeling like you could get in some kind of trouble or ending up on some watchlist for doing?

I guess the FOSTA/SESTA censorship law is a pretty miserable piece of legislation that has had a net negative impact on society since day 1. If I could find something funny about it, I'd definitely go for that one.

Although, you can make fun of it directly without being put on some watchlist, though keep in mind this is the law that laid groundwork for online surveillance/suppression of sex workers, and is basically the blueprint for some anti-abortion legislation proposals that would make it illegal to discuss obtaining abortions online. so if some people have their way, someday you COULD get put on a list for giving tips and info online to those seeking abortions. but i digress.

#yes i know anon was prob asking about china but i don't have an answer to that as i'm not at risk of ending up on any chinese watchlists #and i don't have a direct line to the NRTA to find out what gets you on any watchlists anyway，surprise surprise #You probably wouldn't get put on a list anyway #you'd probably just get perma banned from whatever platform you were posting on if you kept breaking their rules about what you can mention #the most basic of censorship rules for most sites i don't think anyone would have a problem with anyway bc most ppl in china agree w them #[these rules usually include no nazi flags or imperial japanese (rising sun) flag depictions， adhering to 1 china policy in discussions #not spreading superstition #or promoting belief in the superstitious] #I see netizens openly complain about topics being suppressed from search trends all the time it's probably (i'm guessing) not as sensitive #as you think #like you'd have to really be causing a scene to get taken note of #anyway sometimes i get what are essentially like. idk. essay prompts. in my inbox #and i just need you all to know i'm dumb as bricks and i don't keep up with international politics in any significant way #answered ask #text #...I guess to actually answer the question I think you could probably make fun of censorship of ghosts and witches a lot #the film censor bureau really shoots itself in the foot with the censorship laws. the chinese film horror genre is a fucking joke #and i see chinese netizens complaining that the domestic movie censorship has gone too far all the time #It's really a shame bc it's stifling some great story telling and everyone knows it

i'm rationing one episode of scavengers reign per day but this show still has a death grip on me... all the best sf stuff like "how close can you get to something before it consumes you?" "what are we going to do about the fact that we're not closed-off separate systems but rather permeable components of our environment?" "how many stern butches can fit in this thing?"

#text tag #i guess the first question is also like. a moby-dick question. there must be moby-dick derivative sf out there and i need it #additionally the sparrow heads this is sparrowlike. sometimes you go to a planet and it’s a horror movie #also i’m still waiting to see how this ends but like… the necessity yet danger of letting people in… aaa #also also there are so many great froglike creatures in this. evil telekinetic frog wife you will always be famous

#ranxid #ranxidfilms #a movie I would like to make #unreality #seems like a great horror movie in my imagination #poe trying to convince anyone who will listen about the monster in the walls #They label him As mad Of course While he feverishly writes the tell tale heart #The monster in the walls Is The blob creature From the 50s #Poe heroically sacrifices himself to save The city of Baltimore #What do you think I'm thinking tom hardy as Poe #It has to be a horror but it has to be funny And of course we have to involve john waters Any movie made in Baltimore needs to #They don't tell you about that law on the books until you come here and try and make a movie of your own #We need a talking bird too #Movie brainstorms #Let's make it! #a prequel if you will #. I'm thinking of Tom Hardy because he has experience with Blobby aliens #it could be a love story #he's spitting in his grave right now while I'm saying all this Poe not Hardy LOL #I can hear it now Mr hardy we want you to play Edgar Allan Poe but there's one minor stipulation #it involves another gelatinous alien #Hardy looks at the camera and breaks the fourth wall #the creature is from sirius B #all the good aliens come from sirius B #that's where the fish people come from #just ask the dogon #thats the in search of tie in #the dogon tribe #a little blob baby survives to return in the 50s #blob conspiracy

i only have three more best picture nominees to watch before the oscars 👀 and i'm leaving the ones i'm most and least excited for til last so i think i'll watch poor things next

#have been ranking/reviewing on my letterboxd but the list is private for now #will share it once i've watched them all #i just saw the zone of interest and i can't fully make my mind up abt it ? #on the one hand it was viscerally disturbing. it really felt like staring into an abyss of evil #and oh my GOD the sound design was a masterpiece whoever did the sound design needs to work on every horror movie from now on #but on the other hand i found it very monotonous and like. pointless? in a way? #like in the first five minutes you realise they're going about their ordinary lives in the shadow of this great evil #and you think oh my god that's awful that's horrific these people are evil #and then the whole rest of the film is just. still that? #idk i just feel like there are other stories that could have been told #one 1 star review i saw started with ''why must i watch the daily lives of nazis?'' and then goes on to explain how this question #is just not really answered by the film. like you watch it it's there but i just don't know. why? #anyway #still making my mind up about the ranking #🧃

🫂 im so sorry, finding jobs that are both actually hiring and desirable is really difficult right now. i hope an even better one comes your way!

Thank you. I don't even care if I like my job anymore, I just need something that pays enough to live hahaha...

Standing in solidarity over the shit job market ❤️

#i'm just so tired #in the interview he was all #“we need someone like you” and “that (quality) is great we like to see that and we need that in our employees” #only to receive an email that they're “going in a different direction” #... what does that even mean? #i just need to vent #i wish i was the main character #then i would stumble upon the perfect job opportunity and be hired immediately #hopefully it would turn out to be a horror movie but i can't be too spoiled in my fantasies haha

fic writing will have you researching 50s horror movies

#fic bitching #needed to find a horror movie the 4077 could've feasibly watched #didnt want to do any from 40s or older I wanted something they wouldnt have been able to see #which literally left me one (1) entire option kjgdkfjghdkf #anyways the fic olympics 'prep' (using that term loosely) is going GREAT

Man I need to do some fuckin REVISION but I've gone down the rabbit hole of Mary Elizabeth Winstead interviews now

#she's so sweet I absolutely love her #and I need to watch more of her stuff lmao #I'm not much of a horror movie person but she's in a lot of them so I'll have to make my friends watch them with me #woooo #anyway she's great I love her #I can't believe I don't read interviews very often lmao I need to #theyre great honestly #I think we studied a couple in media studies one time as well lmao #anyway #cass thinks ab stuff #mary elizabeth winstead

[running-in-the-dark]

well. we just saw Poor Things in the cinema. and I'm. so. ?????

#I've never been this confused and conflicted about anything in my life #I kept checking my watch but not to look at the time (didn't know how long the movie was anyway) no I had to keep looking at #pictures of John Larroquette every time I got too upset #so much surgery stuff #I almost left #most of this movie was pretty much.... what my nightmares feel like. #never seen anything that has that exact same feeling #literally this was the most terrifying horrifying awful thing I have ever seen #no horror movie has ever scared me this much #also so many genitals #wow #and just. everything #not the point at all but tbh I only didn't leave because ramy youssef is extremely beautiful and I needed to look at his face again #and I kinda don't like Mark Ruffalo anymore.... not his fault he did a great job but. no don't like it #I'm. having feelings and they feel weird #I will never watch this again ever as long as I live but I really liked the ending. very nice. the goat guy got what he deserved 💖 #personal

[angeltannis]

i'll probably make a proper post about it in the morning but I skipped ahead on my Watchathon list to check out The VVitch and um. i actually didn't really like it lmao

#maybe it needs to settle more in my mind (and I Am watching it with Covid Brain) but #it just kinda felt bleak and meaningless to me #ok Black Phillip is cool in concept (the whole reason I wanted to watch this movie so bad tbh) #but idk. it wasnt quite Subversive enough for me ig #i thought it was gonna be more about the devil as a metaphor for breaking out of such a rigid god-fearing existence #which i guess technically it was?? kinda?? but i mean he was very clearly framed as evil and killed p much everyone #and the part with the witch lady in the woods dressed like she was going to a ren faire cracked me up. she stuck out so bad #i dunno. the atmosphere was good it definitely felt like a genuine period piece #and i appreciated the minimal special effects/CGI #but overall the plot felt pretty. standard devil movie. #the great horror movie watchathon

[lesbianwithchainsaws]

I want to quit my job so badly, but idk what else to do. I hate it here

#i think i should be given millions just because so i can do things that i want to do and not the jobs i dont want #someone should invent a job that pays me to watch horror movies and be insane about my blorbos #really dont want to work tomorrow bc theres a thing i dont understand which means I'll have to ask and i hate asking about things #aaaaaaaaa #sorry for the essay in the tags. i just am feeling not great about work rn #once again I need to stop using tumblr as a personal diary #personal post

your christmas or mine sequel….. this is the best news ever… that was SUCH a film last year oh my god they need to make ten of these bitches

#it was so huge for the horrors last christmas… #which. obviously i don’t care that much about that this year but still it’s gonna be a great movie…. i need to rewatch the first one…

[namielles]

finally watched X after like over a year since I watched Pearl and I genuinely think this might be one of the only times where watching something in chronological order is better than release order. also damn mia goth really is a terrible person huh

#Pearl is a sweet drama and X is a great slasher and I need to watch more non-paranormal horror #it's just that 'weird feelings' as a movie are sooooo much funner to me than slashers aaaaaa #if you have good slashers that aren't like. part of a huge series lmk

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

I think Sadako got mad cause I said Kayako and her movie were scarier so she invaded my dreams and gave me a nightmare and a sleep paralysis demon (Lily, my cat, why were you sitting on me and looking down at me all night???).

#silly watches #silly talks #I said what I said Sadako! ....you have the better mystery tho #silly watches horror #silly watches ringu #oh yeah I finished all of ju-on.....haven't talked about it kljdaskfljaf #juon origins was great it had great horror atmosphere but also had me giggling a lot klfdjalfjasfj #i watched both the 1995 ver and the more popular 1998 ver #Lily likes to lay on me #boof (my other cat) likes to lay on me too but usually when I'm in bed she'll cuddle up next to my face (which she was doing last night) #lily's usually been asleep tho but for some reason she was watching me fkjlsfkjsjfkjfals;ajf #probs cause i was having a nightmare but boof I guess was like 'nah we're gonna just keep sleeping itll work itself out' #ah well if i die i die #i brought this on myself #still surprised this movie had ppl in a chokehold TT0TT like in terms of horror #i know ju-on was inspo'd by it but.....Ju-on feels more like an active haunting akjfdsajf *sobs* #the irony is the nightmare looked more like kayako than sadako TT0TT #kayako has had a chokehold on me since I was 10 ma'am pls #i need rest
