movie i watched because someone mentioned it in a facebook comment and im like oh is that still in theatres

 

yeah i just watched the backrooms. aww i wish i had someone to go to movies with, to talk about it after, but this blog will have to do. to me, this movie was effective. i was grinning a lot and i was like "i hate this" a lot and i was grinning and thinking "i hate this" at the same time.  the sets and furniture were so good!!! but i felt like the actors didn't look very 90s-ish. the small details were great. like when you see a ceiling light that's cut off by a wall. a wall that doesn't need to be angled that way but it is. 

anyway, it really pushed the scp foundation / roadside picnic / otherside picnic / yume nikki / marble hornets / former dream analyst buttons in my brain but sometimes it was like pushing the buttons with an ice pick. it makes me think about longlegs (which i never wrote about on here i guess) and candyman - in longlegs, it's the storage unit scene, and in candyman, the abandoned apartment in cabrini green. longlegs has the crazy mother too, and candyman has a white woman and a black man as the two main characters too. but really, it's the place where you shouldn't be and might not get out of that's the only thing that ever gets to me in horror movies. idc about straight people or teenagers with social lives getting murdered lol. also, yeah, of course i enjoy backrooms and liminal space pictures (except when people completely misunderstand the idea of liminal space) and i love dead malls and empty stores and things that have been repurposed somewhat incorrectly and things that need an explanation but might not have one, things that are just weird......

the dentist office that i went to as a kid was on the second floor of a two storey building and when you walked up the stairs, to your left was this inaccessible platform  that had a banister around it, and there was furniture or toys or other decorations inside... it's like that. it's like everything you've seen before, even if it's just in a picture. the carpet. being nostalgic about 90s carpet is stupid but i kind of am sometimes

the building is scary. (i don't mean my old dentist office) the furniture is scary. these things are real and somehow they can be scary lol 

happy shining people

 waaaoh i hate that song. happy shiny people i mean. i don't hate The Shining.

 

yay pinky:st lol. it's crazy how even though this movie has the psychic stuff going on, it's still more realistic than a lot of horror movies. whoa a guy kills or tries to kill his family. holy shit a woman is in a relationship with a man who is ugly, balding, disrespectful, abusive, has a drinking problem, and doesn't do any actual work.  like, notice that you never see him doing any of the caretaker work, he just pretends to write and he's not even getting paid for that. he was probably a shitty teacher too. let me guess, he got fired for trying to molest a student.

this movie is like. don't trust balding men, BUT you can trust a fully bald man. also, i really had no idea how this one was going to end, so i found it pretty enjoyable. i had seen the 1920s photo before but i kinda forgot about it, so seeing it was interesting. and the sound design was... really horrible at times but in a good way where it really pulls you into the movie. i also liked the hedge maze because it reminds me of when i used to play slender all the time. could have done without the bath woman like horror movies just can't not do it can they???? at least it wasn't a naked man lmao

ALSO, i never wrote about how i watched the original pet sematary, but that was pretty good. the outdoor atmosphere really speaks to me. and tasha yar is there! err, denise crosby.

also also i forgot i was going to post about lolita stuff here, but i made a tumblr about it. that i have barely used... 

egl journey part 0

 

 

ohhhhh yeah. this blog shall have a purpose again. perhaps. anyway, no one will read it. will saying "lolita" increase or decrease my chances of anyone reading this blog?? idk why im calling it a journey like umm ok what is the destination?  the better question is why am i doing this? why did this urge surface? well, i do love j-fashion, and the obsession gets strong sometimes, but... there's no community for j-fashion in halifax (someone made one a couple years ago but there were never any events)  and there's very little online (but maybe it's all on discord ) and not much is to my taste, and other than sexpot revenge, all the brands that used to make cool stuff stopped doing that... anyway you know im bored, lonely, have too much extra money, and decided to (maybe) keep my hair "longer" again so i guess it makes me want to dress cute in a girly way MAYBE. 

also this is the worst time ever to suddenly become interested in lolita, both on a personal level and maybe in general, with how burando quality seems to have fallen, and the second-hand market seems kinda ass (really not much better than the CC punk section situation i suppose). but also personally i am on a boat and can't wear anything fun and can't receive packages BUT THAT HASN'T STOPPED ME from making stupid purchases on CC.

i was only going to buy one main piece until i could try it on and see how i feel but nooooo. my dumb (and obsessive) ass has bought two jsks and a skirt. STUPID! but i want to believe it's fine because pst me was interested in lolita. in two separate time periods... so does that mean that if i was truly interested,  i would have kept being interested in it continuously, even though i couldn't wear it? but what if i had prioitised it over anime figures and cosplay and whatever else? what if i did buy an usakumya with my grad money in 2013? well, maybe i wouldn't've even kept it,  just like my stupid cardigan i bought off livejournal a million years ago AAAAAAAAA i need to re-acquire it. every sold listing for that cardigan is cheap like noooooo anyway kicking myself for my impossible minimalist dreams and constantly revolving interests and being kinda depressed and shittttttttt in the mid 2010s. kinda. just a little bit. cod idfk like what am i

no wait, i said that in the first paragraph - bored and lonely YAHOOOO buying expensive japanese clothes will not fix that just because they have more ribbons on them than my h.anarchy shit but ykno. anyway, stay untuned for my fake christmas special in just over a week

 

 

my ssd is not plugged in

 ...so yeah. i finally watched evil dead. the evil dead? idk. i don't care. at first it was like Wow! Olden times straight teenagers hanging out in the middle of nowhere! never seen that before! (i have. it's called texas chainsaw massacre) wow this is just like cabin fever but from the 80s <-- would a true horror fan shoot me for saying this???? but then honestly it did start getting better and was actually pretty alright. big fan of it NOT having a final girl big fan of having a dude be the final girl. it really didn't feel like it was low budget, it seemed normal. like campy, yeah, but. it's from the 80s.

also i have watched saw 2 and saw 3. saw 2 was so long ago, i can't believe i didn't write about it here. i feel like it wasn't as good as the first one, but the house really set it apart from the first movie so it was kinda nice that it was so different. the main thing i remember is the needle pit. :\  and the door gun lol.

saw 3 wasn't that long ago. i liked when that guy was getting drowned in pig juice. sooooo gross but so funny. can't say the same for frozen lady. and wozzname that old moid sure did puke i think and i feel like there was another guy who puked at some point but i forget lol.

more spr posting

 might add more that i really like as i find them... the journey thru the sexpot revenge blog. a goldmine. not a landmine but i was thinking that

random sexpot revenge artwork

yeaaaaah. stolen from their old ameblog. by the way i watched saw ii at some point but it was a long time ago. i was going to watch saw iii last night but i didn't.

horrorshow

 have this hetalia picture because why not. it's dark out early now so it's easier to watch movies. i watched hellraiser 2 and saw tonight and it's not even that late yet. hellraiser 2 felt like a really nothing movie. somehow the first hour passed really quickly. the effects somehow reminded me of the original star trek even though i haven't watched that in years but. i feel like star trek TOS had really stupid looking effects. 

saw was fine i guess. yay male suffering. but idk it wasnt really good enough. and did adam have any chance at getting rescued or not. it was too vague. idk if i wanted him to die or not. at some points the movie was really interesting but sometimes it felt really boring. idk.

also a longer amount of time ago i watched terrifier 2, even though i didn't like the first one. the second one was better in some ways but worse in some ways. at least it had more of a plot. it's pretty forgettable other than that part. it seems like ppl always mention the salt but the salt was the least awful part of that scene. i kinda wanted to stop watching the movie but also i was like no. and i was glad i didnt stop watching since that was the worst part. :\ but i feel like sienna had some cool moments of attacking art at least. but i cant really remember. idk if i should watch the third one.

btw the only movie on welcome to horrorwood i haven't watched is the evil dead so i need to watch that. silver scream has more i haven't watched though...
