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.

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

THE BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER (2015), Osgood Perkins

A perfectly doom drenched trip if your vibe is hiding on picture day in a bathroom with blinking fluorescents, a creaky echo through empty library stacks or a lone footprint edged in muddy melt slowly filling with falling snow.

DEMONIA (1990), Lucio Fulci

Interred just beneath a lackluster garden flowering with disappointment is classic Lovecraftian Fulci: an outsider in the thrall of the uncanny, a town's secret shame, killer cats, specters sans skivvies, ocular trauma & mesmerically absurd deaths.

EXORCISMO (1975) Juan Bosch

The power of Naschy compels you to ogle this cash-in clone on the cusp of post regime censorial slippage, probing the corruption of the nuclear family in a patriarchal dogfight like a cyst on the soul full of teenage ennui & that devil hippie dope.

I thought we agreed.

A scene from Dario Argento's TENEBRAE dialogue as follows:
OK, no ties, but you don't have to rub my face in it.

POSSESSED 2 (1984), David Lai

A detective & his family move into an apartment with a palatial cemetery view & let me tell you it's a real bargain if you don't mind hedonistic dog meat grubbing ghosts who enjoy murder, spanking each other & possessing your wife & child.

BODY MELT (1993), Philip Brophy

Commodified self-improvement causes detergent chugging, tentacled torment in this erratic glandular absurdity of iffy beta-testing, incendiary mucus, aggressive mutant placenta &—my personal favorite—exploding phalluses. Giddy up.

So glad I can unwind after a long day of pretending to not be depressed by watching gialli ✌️ @vinsyn.bsky.social
#justsaying #giallo #physicalmedia #nw

Photographic evidence of my physical media addiction featuring VS’s Bloodstained Italy Blu-ray set containing Death Falls Lightly, Obscene Desire, & The Bloodstained Lawn next to 5 Dead on the Crimson Canvas. It’s probably fine.

I find it somewhat depressing that I still haven’t found the more complete dream sequence footage with Elsa Martinelli riding a flying piano…😭🎹

Shuddering with the unexpected agony of an intimate conversation overheard without context, Vadim's BLOOD & ROSES (1960) is more complex in its delicate subtlety than many of its descendants, characters constricted by the weight of performative social expectation, ancestral trauma & unrequited love.
