figured out house of usher was a total ensemble piece and wanted to know how many mike flanagan shows/movies they'd all been in (it obviously devolved) (this spreadsheet only includes actors who have had major/supporting roles in 2 or more shows/movies by mike flanagan)

The inevitability of how, if you watch a Mike Flanagan project for long enough, Henry Thomas will show up.

i love the common character archetypes mike flanagan slots into his projects so so much. no matter what the horror project is, we’ll always have at least one or more of the following. guy recovering from alcoholism. lass who is the most tragically lovely person ever. dude dealing with crisis of faith. long suffering mother. the most Dad ever. fucked up magic child. lady with a weird hat.

howdy!! do you rewatch your own work? if so, how often? im wondering if it has the same "artist just sees faults with what they create" thing, or if youre able to appreciate past projects the way they deserve

I don't, typically... usually, by the time we're finished with post production, I've seen the thing so many times that I'm thrilled to stop watching it. I'm either sick of it, or just feeling like it doesn't belong to me anymore. There are other reasons, too - Hill House was a traumatic production for me, for example, I have a lot of complicated emotions woven into it, so I haven't felt ready to rewatch that one since before it aired. Maybe in a few more years.

Somewhat recently, I've revisited a few of the older movies with my eldest son, who is 13 now. He's basically as old as my career itself. We've watched Oculus, Hush, The Midnight Club (which he LOVED, proving it worked for our target audience) and Ouija: OOE together, and each of those screenings was a really cool experience. His reactions and questions were really fascinating, and I felt like I was able to see those movies anew through his eyes. That's the closest I've come to feeling like I was really seeing them, and that's only because so much time has gone by for those. I watched the Director's Cut of Doctor Sleep a few years back at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado. It was part of a live NoSleep Podcast event, and that was the first time I'd seen that movie since it was released. It was also the first and only time I'd ever seen the Director's Cut with an audience. That was a really special screening and it meant a lot to me.

I haven't yet had the guts to revisit any of the TV series other than Midnight Club. As my kids get older, I'm sure I'll watch them all with them. The one I'm most excited to see is Midnight Mass, which remains my favorite of the shows. I haven't seen it since before it came out - I remember the last day of post on that show, watching down each episode with final mix and color. That's a series I wish I could actually watch like a viewer at home, and while I'll never truly be able to do that, I look forward to looking at it with some real distance.

There are a few of the older projects I'd be curious to watch now. I wonder how Absentia holds up - I was such a baby when we made that movie, and it's been so long. I imagine I could watch that today and have a really trippy experience. I also haven't revisited Before I Wake in a very long time, and I always really loved that script. The movie was a rough road, and my feelings were mixed by the time it finally found its finish line (Relativity Media really beat that one up), but that could also be a really interesting viewing experience at this stage of my career.

But generally, each of these movies is a journey, and once the journey is over it's tough to ever really go back. There's little point, and moving forward feels like a matter of survival. The "finished product" is only the tip of a large, deep, labyrinthian iceberg for me. It's impossible to only see what's on the surface, no matter how hard I try.

(Interesting side-note: The only exception I've found to this rule is The Life of Chuck. We just finished post production on the movie, and I've watched it dozens and dozens of times now - but I've never grown tired of it, not even a little bit. That movie is something special, and I am eager to watch it again - and again - and again. I don't know that I'll ever want distance from that one; in fact, watching it brings me a sense of joy, comfort, and safety.)

psychological: phobia vs. madness & phobia

phobia: as the name suggests, phobia/isolation horror focuses on the horrors of survival. there is typically a district phobia present in these films like claustrophobia. if the characters do make it out alive, there is usually a heavy price they have to pay to survive.

examples: the descent, gerald's game, frozen

madness & phobia: this subgenre focuses less on the deaths of the characters, but on the madness that drives them forward in the story. the terror is whether they have lost their minds due to circumstances, mental illness, or just psychopathic tendencies. this subgenre overlaps with the slasher genre but focuses less on the killing and more on the force that drives the character to kill.

examples: the shining, jacob's ladder, in the mouth of madness
