even tho im on like ........ 3 different medicine i still think "if i died tomorrow nobody would care" and know it to be true outside of like 20 people max and that is terrifying and i have no way of changing that i think i need to start volunteering bcs this extra time is freaking me out and i would benefit from giving back more than most people.... being a good person is the only thing that makes me feel good

i think im gonna make a feminist and reactionary horror list but not for Giallo Looks just for here i don't like speaking authoritatively but heres a rough draft just lightly perusing the CONTEMPORARY cannon (NOTE most giallo exists outside of these classifications as does THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD- both which i think are definitely not reactionary but not exactly feminist either)

FEMINIST:

  • TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, HOOPER
  • OPERA, ARGENTO
  • SUSPIRIA, ARGENTO
  • HALLOWEEN, CARPENTER
  • FRIDAY THE 13TH, MINER
  • BLACK CHRISTMAS, CLARK
  • ALIEN, SCOTT
  • SCREAM, CRAVEN
  • THE SHINING, KUBRICK
  • THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, DEMME (GENDER)
  • THE DESCENT, MARSHALL
  • CARRIE, DE PALMA
  • THE FLY, CRONENBERG
  • A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (TBH IDK WHERE THIS FITS SOMETHING ABOUT IT HAS ALWAYS RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY BUT YA GIRL IS RESOURCEFUL AS HELL I ADMIT. TRUTHFULLY, IT PROBABLY BELONGS SOMEWHERE BEYOND THIS LIST)
REACTIONARY:
  • ROSEMARY'S BABY, POLANSKI
  • THE EXORCIST, FRIEDKIN
  • THE EVIL DEAD, RAIMI (SORRY I LOVE IT BUT LETS BE REAL - WOULD PROB NOT BE HERE IF NOT FOR THE "TREE RAPE". THE REST IS MODERATE)
  • THE CONJOURING, WHOMEVER
  • PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, WHOMEVER
  • PSYCHO, HITCHCOCK
  • THE BIRDS, HITCHCOCK
  • THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, DEMME (GENDER IDENTITY AND EXPRESSION)
  • HAUTE TENSION, AJA (TBH THIS BELONGS BEYOND THIS LIST TOO AND I STILL FUX W IT. I STILL FUX W A LOT OF THESE)
