I don’t want to alarm you, but something very sinister is going on here… teacher / giallo enthusiast / general reprobate

THE WIZARD OF GORE (1970), Herschell Gordon Lewis

A reporter investigates a mind-bending magician in this hypnotically dissonant experiment in ordinary patience, its loopy audio, jagged edits & utter disregard for tension the result of a particular hubristic, mad ingenuity.

I was coming of age during the whole J-horror influx so I might be biased but I’ve always loved it—is it minor Miike? Idk Is it entertaining? Heck yes.

ONE MISSED CALL (2003), Takashi Miike

Although largely viewed as an unhurried Ring-off whose remake qualifies as a hate crime, this sharp satire is more interested in the ways technology facilitates desensitized morbid spectacle than its urban legend techno slasher brethren.

The only thing left for us to do is to touch our bodies.

When the DMs be like "so what films are your vibe" and these are the films...🤷‍♀️📽️

Catriona MacColl has a vision and drools some because it's pretty horrible in Lucio Fulci's classic City of the Living Dead (1980)

Gnarled witchy blue and pink lit hands grab a screaming face in Dario Argento's masterpiece Inferno (1980) ...feel free to debate me in the comments--although I will warn you of impending loss for I am a master debater

No other film ending has ever gone this hard. Every time this rolls up on-screen I immediately think, “Damn right I have.”

Final shot of SUSPIRIA before the credits roll, which begin with the following:

That was an actual accident too as I was not trying to screen cap the crossfade, but I decided to keep it/use it afterwards when I was editing my grabs. 😆😬

LURKERS (1988), Roberta Findlay

Cathy is haunted by her childhood; but also hulking sledgehammer swingers, malformed malignancies & nonoperational phones--all tangential to the true horror of going home when your home is hell's front stoop & your fiancé is a crappy satanist.

Yes that’s the one! Very moody. It has a great séance scene that still gives me the absolute creeps.

THE HAUNTING OF JULIA (1977), Richard Loncraine

A devastatingly lonely slowcore tale of survival after trauma where the inability to corporeally connect draws a bereaved mother deeper into a stately Victorian's mysteries as she's preyed upon by a demon with an angel's face.

ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK (1972), Sergio Martino

Haunted by visions of murder, Jane's post-miscarriage grief is a puzzle to be solved, presented placebos for a deciduous dropping of depressed mood as manifold as the variegated foliage around her in this atypical giallo gem.

FATAL FRAME (2014), Mari Asato

Taken on its own outside of the titular source game this haunting Carmilla meets Picnic at Hanging Rock aptly weaves an eerie, distinct spell of lover's pact suicides, lesbian jesus christ superstar hysteria & secrets drowned by uncanny baptism.

I most definitely am. I also made that creak in the library stacks and definitely left the snowy footprint. Bam.

Sometimes I wonder if my sarcasm will be the end of me.

Sarah Makes People Watch Things! @torsodapop.bsky.social · 6d

I do too. I think it’s funny though that people are quoting like I’m throwing shade. This is my vibe. Lol.
