#crappy horror movies

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

when you think about it combining thousands of supersoldiers literally incapable of fear with a strictly atheist, rational regime was a colossally stupid decision, and not for the reasons you're thinking of

y'know those cheesy old horror movies where the protagonists are spectacularly stupid? like, they find a spoopy book bound in suspicious leather and go, "haha lets read from this WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG" and twenty minutes later they're being chased by demon minotaurs or something. and the whole time you're screaming "NO YOU FUCKING MORONS WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT WAIT WHY ARE YOU GETTING UNDRESSED NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO HAVE SEX" and then the demon minotaurs kill them while they're having loud passionate sex because god forbid horny teenagers should ever have fun. ok so hear me out, astartes and primarchs in the pre-heresy are the same as the dumbass teenagers, except for the sex-having part (i think they T-pose at each other instead)

think about it. THEY KNOW NO FEAR. they're missing one of the key instincts we possess for recognizing dangerous situations. most people who find a spoopy book bound in suspicious leather are gonna be, y'know, spooped spooked. they won't want anything to do with it. the more anxious/scared will straight up leave. but astartes literally can't get spooked! they might burn the book for being xenos filth or something but beyond that there's nothing to balance out natural curiosity and/or lust for war trophies.

and this combines really badly with the imperium's rationalism! see, even if you don't fear the spoopy book, superstition/religion/fairy tales/etc. still provide a powerful incentive to stay away from it. you're gonna look at it and go, wow, that book looks satanic, messing with it might summon demon minotaurs, i should stay away. but the imperium actively discourages that line of thought! there's no way the spoopy book can do any harm, it's just a spoopy looking book! in fact, you SHOULD read the spoopy book just to demonstrate how not-superstitious you are!

yeah so this is why fulgrim walks into a creepy temple full of ritual snake orgy and thinks, hmm that snazzy sword the snake guys are obsessively fucking around would make a nice trophy. or why it never occurs to magnus that making deals with the fair folk might be dangerous territory.

#warhammer 40k #primarchs #space marines #crappy horror movies #fulgrim #magnus the red #also the galaxy is fucking littered with spoopy books #someone was gonna summon daemon minotaurs sooner or later #kinda surprised it didn't happen sooner in retrospect

Everyone's talking about Sherlock Holmes finally being fully in the public domain, but I'm here trying to create some buzz for a good Maya The Bee adaptation.

#maya the bee #public domain #just don't make crappy horror movies

[oldtvandcomics]

The Public Domain Character Horror Movie Discourse is... NOT something I would have seen coming. Like, GUYS, this is the Internet. Two things that are pretty much guaranteed to happen if people can get away with it are weird porn and cheap horror stories. It is just what is the easiest to produce, feels subversive given the aggressively enforced family-friendliness of these characters, and is a nice fuck you to the authorities that are keeping most of humanities' creative patrimony locked away from us.

It is just something that needs to get out of people's system. Then we can go back to... Not really doing much with these characters, actually. I didn't exactly go looking for it, but I also haven't seen any Winnie the Pooh art cross my bubble since it entered the Public Domain. Apart from that one horror movie, that is.

#what I'm surprised by is that nobody has tried to sell Steamboat Willie T-shirts yet #like I get why people would be scared to do so #but how did NOBODY do it yet #it isn't just the fear of Disney either #Sherlock Holmes lost the last bit of coypright last year #it has been one year and no major Sherlock Holmes projects that I'm aware of happened #again I'm not following too closely #what about Tarzan? Zorro? #Just to name some of the REALLY famous ones #crickets that's what #at least the crappy horror movie division is doing SOMETHING #Public Domain Day #Public Domain characters #this is about #Mickey Mouse #in case you didn't realize

i got a new birth control thing and now there is A Stick In My Arm. it's just in there. im just going about my day and then i remember that there is an Object Inside Of Me and it's just There and it doesn't bother me and i can barely feel it but It's In There! anyway what a way to find out you have a deeply buried childhood fear of things under your skin

#it doesn't bother me now it's just an Odd Realisation #i was dragged to a parent's friend's house once as a kid and saw five minutes of a crappy horror movie and it just Stuck with me #and now i get all eueueueueueuheugheghegehgeh at under-skin stuff its not fun #it doesn't freak me out bad i just can't look at photos of that or i get the involuntary urge to fold in half #having this implant doesn't bother me #especially since i can't feel or see it there #but that was definitely A Way to obtain a childhood memory. sitting in a doctors office with my shirt off. #the actual implantation process was really quick and smooth though it took like ten minutes tops #not bc like rushing or anything but just the numbing was easy and they have a nice little injector device that just Does It #i was sitting here all anxious like *are they going to Surgery me* trying to figure out what i'd need for recovery and stuff #just an advil really there is a very small hole in my arm and a bruise and that is all #doctor moment

I think this happens in a lot of genres but specially in horror, it seems to me that sometimes people think of a really cool concept and story and then put there the most bland characters living it, so they dont distract you from the Plot. And. I hate it so much, is such a waste of a good plot and interesting concept on the most Basic People

#its specially like that in slashers #a lot of directors think oh you wanna see gore only so we will make it so u wont care about victims #and is like no excuse me i wanna care i want to feel like i want them to live !!! #i wannabe devastated if someone dies !!!!!!!@@ #u dont understand..... #the blackening was a horror comedy but DAMN they were all interesting !!! #i didnt want anyone to die lovely cast all around #i have seen more seripus movie with cool cast too i just only remember the crappy ones #also my problem with most episodes of black mirror.....

Really random and specific, but I remember being in a Best Buy with my family around 2009 or something, and for some reason, on all the display TVs, they were showing behind the scenes features from Final Destination 4, specifically the death scenes.

I was still really scared of horror movies at that point, and I ran back to my parents when they showed the practical effects when the mechanic got launched through a fence and had chunks of his flesh fall through the spacing.

Why were they showing this in a Best Buy. Who did this

#dumb stuff #horror movies #final destination 4 #final destination #i think i was 12 but was still really sensitive to horror movies at that time. i couldn't finish tremors for crying out loud #so seeing the mannequin/animatronic in the bts twitching and the gore effects freaked me out #in hindsight it's a shame that movie got a lot of their kills edited over with crappy cgi #the girl getting her head mulched into lasagna at the start by a flying tire is still the best looking effect in that movie

4, 11, 12, 14 for the art ask meme :)

4. favorite thing to draw

i'm sure this isn't surprising, but- cats!!! my obsession with warrior cats was the main reason i started to take drawing more 'seriously'. cats were the first thing i learned how to draw(GOD ive spent do much time redrawing cats from photos.......) and after this much time drawing them is practically second nature to me. Whenever i dont know what to draw/when i'm bored, i just start doodling kitties:3

11. show us the last thing you drew, be it a finished piece or a small doodle

these are my two most recent doodle pages- the first one is me trying to figure out eeneks moms design, and in the second one are concepts for the au i told you about:) most of the time jiro is just. a cartoony black blob.. also i forgot to tell you that this fucker is transfem actually!! i dumped so much on you back there that i thougt it was enough ramblings for one day/that its too much info to take in at once lol

12. show us an old drawing

hooo boy..... i went through a very old sketchbook for this one... feast your eyes on 11 year old me's epic warrior cats ocs designs!!

In my Epic Cool Orginal Story TM the cats found a ''''sun stone''''(its WAY cooler than the moonstone. obviously.) wnich basically gave them cool mutations/superpowers. try to guess wnich one is the main character

14. digital or traditional

Both are good!! traditional feels a lot more comfortable and natural for me, but digital has its perks too!! i jump between them a lot

#ask #thanks for asking!! this took a bit longer to answer cause i was at my grandparents for tge last few days and only got back a few hours ago #i waited cause i wanted to find an old drawing in one of my sketchbooks at home:) #jiro is such a funny character to me. shes unhinged. her only pasttime for months was staring at ppl and annoying shiro. #she has absolutely NO social skills. she swears in every other sentence. shes mentally unwell. she loves watching crappy horror movies #and nature documentaries:) #i love her #shiros weird twin sister who stands behind him menacingly and stares at you without blinking

⚠️ psychological horror, mental scars, shitty metaphors, slight gore, and references to "sl-cing skin." Read tags for context

None of y'all can ever claim to know horror and terror until you experience watching a completely wholesome g-rated knockoff bargain bin kid's movie and hearing IT. That slicing voice honed on a stone of utter fear.

Cutting and chopping through spices to perfectly stab at the mind until it's mush, and leave the flayed nerves burning.

Agony is the only thing you can feel everytime you see that character, because you know you'll be caught in the white of its eyes and never know the reason why. the voice, perhaps even the face was shrapnel caught in your rib, and everytime you turn you turn your torso it rips your lung again, and you grew around it. But there it is again, that familiar carousel of up and down, radiating cutting. your hands aren't their own. This is unfamiliar, foreign. This is a child's vision. This apparition was haunted you since childhood and after years, years into your life, traveling, forgetting, living, and loving, it's come to take another victim. IT. IT is hungry and unwavering. It was beyond anything we could've dreamed of, no. IT, was a nightmare and to it, there's nothing more it'd love to feast on than long grown over, but never quite removed needles under the skin.

But this, this MAN. He was nothing to do with that. This is a man making money, making a living. This is a man with no intention to thrill, to rip at the scalp until fused bone is exposed. This man shakes hands with smiling gentlemen in fancy suits and kisses babies. This is the man in a different costume. And in another costume, perhaps the glass may fall out of your ribs.

#it 1990 #stephen king #stephen king novels #psychological horror #terror #writing #almost poetry #shitpost #shitposting #movies #vintage films #scary movies #horror film #tw gore #💥💥💥 CONTEXT this is about tim curry i used to be scared of him bc the first movie i remembered him for was IT 1990 when i was 5-13 #i watched it for years despite being terrified bc it was my favorite movie. and i am nothing if not resilient #im ok now ive seen rocky horror amd im mexican so i love clowns #but i heard him in some crappy kids movie and i was terrified for a sec

Hate watching horror movies because I always end up getting overly attached to characters that I KNOW are gonna die

#watching The Sand rn #bawling like a fucking baby over #Ronnie's and Gilberts death #it always starts out like: oh! this looks like a real shitty horror movie! should be fun :3c #and by the end I have to keep reminding myself that my little blorbo isn't actually dead they got paid for this crappy cgi death #chance bleats

[mechahero]

//okay but who’s going to be the group of terrible people menaced by a slasher villain in the form of lambda?

#//listening to horror movie reviews and having thoughts #//lambda’s literally a slasher movie villain! he’s partly based on them anyway!!! #//but you know instead of teenagers he just targets really crappy people #//differences and standards he has and all that #//also a thread like that would be super fun even if the slow drawn out pacing isn’t in lambda’s usual wheelhouse #backup log {ooc}

Skinamarink

well I ended up watching Skinamarink, aaaaaand I’m actually sort of mad that I wasted an hour and forty minutes of my life watching that lol. absolutely nothing happens 99% of the time, and the other 1% is filled with whispering. the movie was filled with shot after endless shot of crooked doorframes, or out of focus carpet, or part of a hallway wall. i wanted to stop it 10 minutes into the movie, but I held out hope it was going to get better. sadly, it didn’t. *shrug* the whispering voice was kind of creepy, but it didn’t make up for the rest of the movie being utter crap. it might have worked as a 15 minute short film or something, but this just draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagged on.
