Just occurred to me that one reason I like the horror genre is that it's a rare space in our society that allows us to explore feelings of fear and vulnerability. (hexbear.net)

Toxic masculinity is a fuck, the standard of fearlessness and dominance that patriarchy demands you uphold is unattainable, accept and embrace your fear as part of yourself.

I live alone and have to be in a certain mindset for a legit spooky movie, but it's my favorite genre for how it can pull me all the way into a story.

Hereditary is my all time spookiest. it scared the crap outta me so bad I couldn't sleep for 36 hours and I kept the lights on in my room while I was sleeping for like 2 nights after lmao.

shit got in my head. I still have a visceral response to the A24 logo in trailers, like an "oh shit" tense up, all these years later.
