Evil Dead Burn where a deadite roasts someone and all the other deadites go ‘ohh burn’
I’m loving this! A glittering, dizzying nightmare. A dense & experimental postmodern narrative that represents its protagonist’s traumatised psyche. Frightening, humorous & tragic, with an amazing soundtrack. Wonderful to see these characters back again in a contemporary context
Subtly asking people if they’ve watched Interview with the Vampire
When my package is delivered and I get a photo of my front door
Overheard people talking about Widow’s Bay, turns out they were discussing bay windows ☹️
Me being happy for everyone who got Vampire Lestat tickets
Me trying to leave The Backrooms the second I get in
Horror fans are like ‘yeah that movie made me feel awful I’d recommend’
All the screenshots and bookmarks I’ll never look at again
Me watching The Backrooms when it’s released on digital
Backrooms fans will see this and think ‘hell yeah’
Me as a kid waking everyone up to tell them I got sick
Big time for House of Leaves fans! I loved this. I was so mesmerised by the set design. The acting was great too. I loved how we got the perspectives of the two leads & how their initial conversation shaped both the movie itself & the endless backrooms
I love how The Backrooms is House of Leaves with the labyrinth renovated
Cats acting innocent SECONDS after attacking everyone
The woman in The Yellow Wallpaper knew about The Backrooms
Walking into a room and forgetting why I went in there
This show is so perfect. I love the comedy horror balance and the characters are fascinating. I’m on the flashback episode and it’s like stumbling upon a great horror movie! There’s so many SECRETS I can’t wait to find out what’s going on with this island
2023 was Barbenheimer, 2026 is Obsession with The Backrooms
