I watched fewer horror movies this October than in I watched fewer horror movies this October than in years past, but I saw a juicy trifecta that represents some of the best in genre films I’ve seen this year: Coralie Fargeat’s THE SUBSTANCE is a genuine body horror sensation, THE DEVIL’S BATH is a feminist folk horror set in the remote woods of Austria, and RED ROOMS is a spellbinding techno-thriller about the morality of spectatorship—a disquieting warning for those engaging in the exploitative voyeurism of the vast true crime industry. The rest: some people are trying to reclaim Alien³ as “actually pretty good,” and while I love the energy (and we are all welcome to our own opinions), this movie still sucks. I am happy to talk about why I am wrong on this. I have enjoyed some of the films of Lars von Trier (the beautifully shot MELANCHOLIA and ANTICHRIST), but THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT is an insufferably self-satisfied exercise in toxic auteur mythology. LvT is yucky, and at this point he’s so far up his own ass that with any luck he’ll get lost up there and never come out. Lastly, SPIDER BABY is a truly wacky ‘60s film with strange and problematic depictions of mental illness, with a subtext that seems to speak to class, culture and family in ways that I am still trying to figure out.

Happy Halloween! I would love to write the perfe Happy Halloween! I would love to write the perfect caption for my favorite holiday, but my brain is mush. Here’s to holding hands in the dark, doing things that scare you, and eating candy that was supposed to be for kids. I am so tired, but my heart is full.
Bed rotting isn’t enough. I need 800 years of Bed rotting isn’t enough. I need 800 years of rest. I need to lie down in the woods and decompose. I need my skull to fill with rain water. I need my bones to bleach in the moonlight and be ground to dust for use in arcane rituals. I must become worm food. Once my body has decayed and my spirit haunts the forest it’s over for you hoes.
