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!

Nightmare Sketches

Past the road, a blackened building creaks between the trees⁠—and there you feel a creeping dread you’ve only known in dreams.

the feeling of finally putting these on is so overwhelming??? ; - ; 

“The suburbs feel especially empty these days, even the nice homes, up-town. Andrew said he had been seeing things on his bike ride home from work, moving quick, out of the corner of his eye. And now he’s gone too. The more people that disappear, the more of them there are.”
