“When the Gentlemen Go By” by Margaret Ronald (2008)
“Don’t look, baby, don’t look.”
The trolley problem has a solid place in horror.

“The Fool of the Web” by Patricia Breen, Roel, Brenda Feikema (1997)
“Your belly quakes with laughter even as I tremble in disgust.”
Sometimes you follow the maiden, and sometimes the maiden follows you.

Halloween Ends dir. David Gordon Green (2022)
“What are you gonna do when Michael comes back for you?”
These Halloween movies are such a mess. I went back to read the plots and remind myself about what happens in the first two parts of this new trilogy and it starts simply enough, but the second and third are trying to say something about the evil on both sides and it makes for an incredibly confused story at best, a shitty attempt to address all sides of our cultural climate at its worst.

Silent Hill dev. Team Silent (1999)
“I get it now, why I’m still alive even though everyone else is dead.”
I avoided this game since playing a bit in 1999 and noping out at the sight of scary demon children with knives. Then, I goofed by playing the sequel before the first one, so the framework was all very familiar now that I did get here. I can appreciate why the series has developed such a following now that I completed these first two entries. The recently announced remakes and sequels must be like a torrent after a drought.
