Top Ten Ways to Become a Zombie
Zombies aren’t just figments of horror movies and video games—they’re inspired by very real and very horrifying diseases. The world is teeming with ways to turn you (or something else) into the walking undead. Whether it’s a syndrome that convinces you you’re already dead or a virus that rewires you to bite your neighbors, this […]

I wish I could absorb some of the horrors the rescue workers will encounter in Valencia’s underground garages and basements, so they could somewhat manage on with their own lives after… #realheroes #cannotunsee
Recent #fiction #scifi #reading:
The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa. Lovely writing. Very understated; reminded me of Kazuo Ishiguro. Sort of like Nineteen Eighty-Four but not. (I first heard it recommended in comparison to that work.)
Subcutanean by Aaron Reed; https://subcutanean.textories.com/ . Every copy of the book is different, which is a cool idea. I read two of them (one from the library, actually not different from the other printed copies, and one personalized e-book). I don’t read much horror so managed to be a little creeped out by it, which was fun.
The Wind from Nowhere, a 1962 novel by J. G. Ballard. A random pick from the sci-fi section; I think I picked it up because it made me imagine some weird 4-dimensional effect (“from nowhere” meaning not in a normal direction) but actually (spoiler) it was just about a lot of wind for no reason. The book was moderately entertaining but there was nothing special about it.
Currently reading Scale by Greg Egan and Inversion by Aric McBay.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com the things Gemini has going for it are mutual TLS and lack of JavaScript. Which makes for a secure albeit boring experience (much like gopher). The fake markdown is a bit of a drag.
A render mode for Gemini probably wouldnt be too hard. There are markdown to Gemini libs out there.
With Web3 the whole trust a 3rd party browser ext + high fees + env impact for compute and storage are serious no gos for me.. I have heard one too many horror stories about clicking the wrong link and some script draining your metamask wallet.

I tried really hard to give The Amityville Horror another chance but all I can think is: how the hell is a movie starring Margot Kidder this bad and this boring? Steven King came around on it but I guess I won’t.

I wrote an essay about folk horror as seen as a subgenre of speculative fiction, on May Day of 2017: https://modernmythology.net/folk-horror-as-speculative-sociology-c1e24d0c106?source=friends_link&sk=1573bafd20abaf410c71c44a472c1d85
So glad to see some fresh, new, good-looking folk-horror with Midsommar. Judging by previous work on Hereditary, it should be fantastic.

I’d like to play a horror game that’s lit like Suspiria is during its most extreme moments: backgrounds & characters in bright monochrome washes, a cypher of harsh shadows, as though lit by single-point neon.
Strongly recommend ‘Horror Noire’ for folks who are interested in the history of horror on film. It filled in some big gaps in the timeline for me. It’s available on Shudder, which is also streaming some flicks covered.

Hot take: the primary function of a horror movie is not to be scary, but to be /creepy/. If you don’t know the difference, watch better horror movies.

‘Do you prefer horror movies or comedy movies’ is a good way of phrasing ‘with what degree of intensity are you comfortable having your mental constructs challenged’. ‘Hausu is my favorite movie’ is a valid & illuminating response.
The Shining has apparently forever turned Midnight with the Stars and You into a ‘horror song’. I’m sure some flapper ghosts are very unhappy with that categorization. They can’t do anything about it, though: ghosts are weak.
If Halloween 3 had been Halloween 2 (i.e., if Michael Meyers was a one-off & there was never the expectation set that he’d come back) we could have had a great yearly horror anthology series for the past 40 years.
