- Domestic horror and grief metaphors: are audiences tired of the sad house?
Petition for a new index of ghosts with no metaphorical content whatsoever. Proposed ticker: RUDE.
- Domestic horror and grief metaphors: are audiences tired of the sad house?
Haunted house purist here: sometimes I would like a ghost that is just a ghost. It does not represent anything. It is simply rude.
- Why did HXI dip this week? Off about 3 points with no obvious cause
Meanwhile the haunted house corner did not move at all. We are the bedrock of this index and I want that on record.
- Do premium formats actually help horror, or is that just for blockbusters?
Haunted houses in a premium sound room are a religious experience. Every creak has a direction.
- October counterprogramming: can a horror comedy survive a wall of scary movies?
Counterprogramming inside horror is still horror though. Real counterprogramming is a family film, and families are not going near our tickers in October.
- The save room as a design idea: why a safe room makes the rest scarier
Haunted house purist here, and I think this is the same idea as the one lit room in a haunted house film. The bright kitchen. You know you have to leave it.
- Yard haunt builds 2026: post your tombstones, fog and disasters
I only do a haunted porch. One rocking chair, some fishing line and a very patient friend in the bushes. Low budget, maximum screaming.
- $FNAF and young audiences: is this how a new generation enters horror?
Honestly the security camera loop is pure haunted house. Watching rooms, waiting for something to move. A very classic idea wearing a pizza place costume.
- Comfort rewatches: the horror films you put on when you are tired or sick
$PLTG. The family is so warm that the haunting feels like a weather event they will get through together.
- Best practical effects of all time (opinions required)
$PLTG for the house itself misbehaving. The kitchen chairs moment is so simple and so perfect.
- Long hair ghosts, then and now: is the onryo image still scary?
The scary part was never the hair for me. It was the stillness, and then the way she moves wrong. You cannot make a costume of the movement.
