LW understands horror.  When things are explained, it's ruined.

Your post made me think about how excellent It Follows was.  I feel like watching it again.

And it's got a killer soundtrack

It's a shame LW seems to spend a lot of his time talking politics because I could listen to him discuss horror (or at least just break down Ito if nothing else) for awhile longer. :/

Politics is horror.

I suppose it can be, but it's infinitely less interesting to me.

What about political horror

OH look a thing to watch I shall do so

The first "trashcan scene" in Stranger Things season 2.

Best horror movie ever made: The thing (80's version)

I really like the movie because the people in it don't act like complete idiots (very common in horror) and the threat is corporeal yet still absolute terrifying. And it is of course just an awesome movie.

I always felt that unbeatable ghosts are a bit cheap.

So currently writing my dissertation on Lovecraft horror, when I thought back to the comparisons to Junjo Ito. While I still lack the time to write up these musings, I found something cute. Junjo Ito drew a Lovecraft

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Lovecraft's mother would frequently tell him that he had all the bodily features of a degenerate, and convinced him to wear his dead father's clothes after his father died when he was 13. Alan Moore & Robert M. Price posited that the tall, gaunt, beastly and pale bookish spawn of Yog-Sohoth Wilbur is a parody of Lovecraft himself. He looks so comfy in that picture, but his expression as always indicates profound hatred for most life. Yet that is part of why people luv im

I wrote in the terrified thread that I finished Uzumaki in one sitting, I'm glad to hear more stuff about Ito. And the idea of Lovecraft as a Lovecraftian creature just tickles all my fancies.

I skimmed over the thread since apparently it's been 7 years since I posted here. I saw SCP mentioned once or twice but only as a one-off reference... Does anyone here actually read it anymore? I've been desperate for earnest discussion about the SCP-verse but can't find anyone (including their own communities) that actually wants to talk about it.

We've had a few threads about SCP but it died when the SCP lads killed their own site. But I've been killing my sides with the Bedbanana & Criken SCP diaries

SCP lads killed their own site

Explain? There's still new stuff being posted...

also, check out this guy's Confinement series. It's mroe comedy than horror, but the special anthology nails some of my favorite SCP's.

Zombies are animated, lifeless corpses

I regret asking the question, forget it.

I never read more than a couple dozen SCPs... but you got me thinking about it again and I had a fun thought. 

SCP 96 would make for a really intense murder mystery.  Say somebody who understands what SCP 96 is gets their hands on a photograph or visual recording without looking at it themselves.  That would be like the ultimate murder weapon.  Someone who's smart could study their target to find out when they can be caught alone or trick them into such, and arrange for them to encounter the photo at that time.  SCP 96 arrives and leaves no trace of the target.  Now imagine a story (one where the SCP foundation themselves are not involved) where somebody's hired to figured out what the hell is going on, and actually manages to figure it out and stop the suspect without getting themselves killed by the creature.

SCP had a real nadir there a couple years ago, but after the Canon Hub got started I feel the site took on some new life. Once the Antimemetic Series was posted I was pretty much back with it.
