I think one of the best scenes with Verna in The Fall of the House of Usher is during the 7th episode when she begins hinting at all the things the ushers would have been and done had they not accepted the deal, specifically when she’s about to kill Fredrick and essentially explains that They (I use them because who the fuck knows exactly what Verna truly is) usually don’t get as involved but that they just had to, and as a viewer what he did was awful but the other kids were just as bad in most ways.But then the explanation they give is just fucking a punch to the gut. Verna being there and explaining that had he lived a normal life outside of the deal, Fredrick would’ve been a dentist and that the breaking point of the interference for them was when he picked up the pliers to torture Morie. This conversation hits so hard for me because it seems to imply that Verna is fucking enraged (in a very human way might I say) that even in this timeline there appeared to be pieces of the assumably better man that Fredrick could have been. Verna seems to have written humans off, especially those involved in the deal and for them to see, whilst assumably being omnipresent, a sign that a version of a better usher lived in Fredrick and how fucking ironic and enraging for how those pliers the symbol of that alternate life were used in this timeline. A reminder of what these kid could’ve been and yet are NOT and just such a fascinating display of emotion from Vernas character, like I fucking can’t …… does any of this make sense I need someone to understand.

I was rewatching Mike Flannigan's MIDNIGHT MASS on Netflix, and I thought I'd do a portrait of one of the characters from the show: Father Paul (played by Hamish Linklater), one of the most interesting and rich characters to grace horror fiction in many, many years.

If you haven't seen Midnight Mass, it's like most of Flannigan's other offerings: profound beauty and hope wrapped inside a surface of truly terrible horror. As a meditation on faith and also on guilt, and death, I think it's a really spectacular work. If you haven't watched it, and aren't adverse to scary stuff, I'd highly recommend it (on Netflix).
In the background of the piece is the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee," which features pretty prominently.

Loving Mike Flanagan’s new horror “The Fall of the House of Usher”. A lot more fun than gut wrenchingly emotional compared to his previous takes, but somehow also kind of back to basics at the same time. Also, everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) in the story is a terrible bisexual degenerate and I am HERE for the representation.

all i ask is for mikes next project is he bring victoria pedretti back and give that woman a character who has a happy ending (knowing mike and his works, a character of hers will most likely not have a happy ending but pleaseeeeee i need to see her win)

I don’t know about everyone else but for me The Midnight Club is completely different from Stranger Things, it was based on the book that was literally written in the 90s way before ST was even a thing. Someone needs to tell these journalists that the classic kid group from the 80s/90s + fighting evil forces concept was not started by Stranger Things. Ex: Stand by Me, The Goonies, Summer of 84, IT (1990), Super 8, The Monster Squad, etc.
So how can it be a “stranger things wannabe”? :\
I will not stand for the absolute disrespect towards Christopher Pike and Mike Flannigan, honestly.

watching the last episode of midnight mass right before church on a sunday was perhaps not my smartest idea…

saw a post that said "haunting of hill house is about family" and like yes sure but i would argue
that it is about grief? and how never talking about that grief - which they say repeatedly in the show "DAD NEVER TALKED" - is what causes it to fester and harm.
that post also said that Bly was about love and like YES but what if it is actually!!! about regret?! and how never saying things or a dream that cannot happen will haunt you?
i think midnight mass is about faith like that post says yes but.. isn't it also about betrayal? betrayed by your faith, betrayed by your community, betrayed by the deity you thought could save you?
... that triptych is probably my roman empire (along with lord of the rings and things Picard has said)

What's funny is Death/The Raven told them the deal was they'd be successful No Matter What sooo doing terrible exploitative things with the company was a personal preference for them. They could have done something good with it and still be guaranteed a luxury lifestyle.
