John’s a better man than me because if I died and my wife married my cousin and they both started saying I’d approve of their marriage I’d haunt them.

This is some AO3 type of smut we have going on.

Franceca’s a FREAK.

Moreover, Omen II and Omen III are perhaps my least favorite of all the remakes and sequels of the original six films prior to 2020–which is really saying something, because they’re all pretty god-awful.

The First Omen (2024) is a shockingly good prequel.

Immaculate (2024) revises the Rosemary’s Baby (1968) story. Cecilia refuses to accept the obligation out on her by malicious clerics, who have so badly perverted Christianity in her mind. She refuses to raise a baby whom she perceives not only as a monster, but as a potential threat to Christianity itself.
Immaculate demonstrates that the Church should be in no position to enforce pregnancies on women.

Big fan of Immaculate (2024). Sydney Sweeney how I wish you weren’t evil :(

I love Coralie Fargeat’s award-winning 2024 body horror extravaganza The Substance.

Hell yeah Barbara Creed mentioned.

The Omen leverages the archetype Rosemary’s Baby deployed—we have a monstrous child raised by a mother who invokes the Virgin Mary. Like its demon-child predecessor, The Omen hinges on a dark reinvention of the Holy Family.

We are living, right now, in a social media deluge of regression—which, in itself, reflects the very real political regressions we’re living through simultaneously.

Ballerina Farm mentioned in the discussion of domesticity as showcased through The Stepford Wives :/

Domestic horror is often ambivalent toward women and their suffering.

The Exorcist showcases motherhood as a central site of vulnerability for domestic abuse.

Rosemarys Baby itself stands as perhaps the single most powerful and important filmic contribution to American feminism of the late 1960s.

Rosemary’s Baby recounts a story of a virtuous, modern-day Mary who becomes pregnant through rape. This choice is significant, and not just because of its aggressive anti-Catholic messaging. By New York State’s own abortion laws in 1968, Rosemary would not have been able to get an abortion on the grounds of rape alone.

Whether you believe unflinchingly in a woman’s right to choose, whether you believe that a fetus is ensouled as soon as its heart beats, or whether you are somewhere on the complex spectrum that separates those two positions, it should be terrifying that governments, rather than a woman and her doctor, are making lifesaving or life-threatening medical decisions on a woman’s behalf for the foreseeable future.

Given that horror gleefully fetishizes the torture of women, it’s not obvious to think of horror as a feminist genre.

‘Sometimes, it takes years—even decades—for a culture to consciously recognize that a particular work of art was handling some thorny, complex, or not-fully-articulable topic’ Oh Jennifer’s Body how you haunt the narrative.

The book started off with the best date, April 26.

Mr. Fox is a narcissist :(

Sarah’s strong as hell for not shooting them both in the head.

A full time job and an actual bed frame is important when it comes to dating in your mid to late twenties.

Flat shoes are for horseback riding and gardening.

I called it. Well, sort of.

WHY IS THIS FAMILY SO PRO INCEST!?????

At least they want him to finish high school before getting it on with his cousin.

Why do all these cousins wanna sleep with eachother :/

The randomly inserted incest???

Our existence is predicated entirely on our own self-interest.
