“The Angle of Horror” by Cristina Fernández Cubas (1996)
“Why was her skin suddenly so pale, so slimy to the touch?”
That unsettling dread that is never quite fully explained, but then it makes the reader question whether the source of the dread is in the story or the mind.

“Save the Last Dance for Me!” by Dennis O’Neil & Pat Boyette (1969)
“Tin Toes makes the decisions around here!”
So many horror comics of this time are just peeks into the Ironic Punishment Division in hell.

Ravenous dir. Antonia Bird (1999)
“When I stepped inside that cave, the smell of meat cooking… I thanked the Lord, I thanked the Lord.”
I didn’t realize how much I needed to watch something from the 90s after the last week. This is right in that time when we’re getting movies like Sleepy Hollow and Blade, a particular grungy feel and aesthetic with a good budget, but still not overly CG’ed so it has a tactile feel to it. I suppose something like Bone Tomahawk can take you there these days.
