Freaky looks like a blast. Stoked for it.

I'm here to ride the "slasher + x" formula for as long as it will carry me I'm way more into it than I was the whole "zombies + x" fad we went through

Agreed. Zombie stories have this... I'm suspicious of their popularity because they seem to be guilt free murder disguised as anything else. If that makes any sense. I like my Zombie movies to not be so escapist because of my aforementioned grumpiness.

Basically I like Dawn of the Dead, NOTL, and everything else is a bunch of power fantasy I don't need, including walking dead. Wouldn't it be cool not to go to work and kill your neighbors and look greasy in a sexy way?

My favorite part of Dawn is that the mauraders aren't badass or cool, they are gross clowns because of course that is who would thrive in that situation. I like Dawn because it's devoid of fun.

Whereas I feel like Slashers are like pop songs, mythic slabs of youth culture. Hence the title to my second film BOOGEYMAN POP, which is a slasher deconstruction/hangout film, that for the love of all that is holy will be released someday.

Nothing like some good old simple primal fear Big dude trying to kill you, without all these additional memes about infection and corruption and whatnot

Anyway yeah slashers at their best are about this idea of human resistance to a "natural order" rather than acquiescing to and even enforcing it like zombie fantasies are The lack of specific lore for why slashers slash helps keep that shit at bay

The narrative of a slasher movie is that you're supposed to die, you're probably going to die, the rules say you must die, but you keep on trying to live anyway That impulse is at the core of what makes horror compelling, even if the ending is still tragic

I mean as hackneyed as the bit is I was hooked on Freaky with the line "You're Black, I'm gay, we are so dead"

And going meta with the twist on the formula Which is more "the rules" now, the big scary slasher getting the hot blonde girl or the hot blonde girl taking down the slasher Well now both characters are both
