Blasphemous (2019) | Platform: PC

something about horror as a genre is very inherently similar to romance, but it’s differently romantic. it’s like if romance could be compared to a rabbit, then horror is a hare. a hare is the same shape-ish as a rabbit, but it’s different; it’s upturned and eerie and comes at you from a sideways angle.

i think this connection between the two genres is the presence of love. love as a concept. romance is the genre that beautifies love, and horror is the genre that explores love in ways that aren’t beautiful. horror is the monstrosity of love gone sour, or the absence of love, or the emotions that the intensity of love and pain birth. slasher horror is monstrous obsession, while existential horror always has a narrative that makes you rethink what love means, what being human means. just like romance.

sorry if this makes no sense but i’m willing to talk about this if others discourse politely!

PG: Psycho Goreman (2021) dir. Steven Kostanski

A suspicious biographical journalist interviews a young man who claims to be a vampire in San Francisco in the 1990s. Louis de Pointe du Lac, a man who lost everything, recounts his experiences of the past 200 years and recounts his encounter with Lestat de Lioncourt , a creature of the night that made him a vampire and taught him to live in a new way.
