I ship absolutely no one in Widow’s Bay except Gerrie the historical society maven and Wyk the local harbinger of doom and I make no apologies for this. The rest of these freaks aren’t anywhere near emotionally level enough for romance.

You know a piece of horror is going to be good when the white character is like “fun fact: there were no people here when white people settled it”

Season One of Widow’s Bay summed up

[thealogie]

Horror comedy is such a good genre like I’m laughing but also this is the first piece of media that has scared me in such a long time.

props to Patricia for making DAMN sure she keeps an eye on the Boogeyman. she slowed down once just to see if he was still after her and she will NOT hesitate again. if he so much as twitched a finger she was READY. she is on guard. she is surveilling the scene. she is on the lookout for ingress and most especially egress points. she does not relax until that man is ashes. the only thing that surprised me at all is that she didn’t collect the ashes and disperse them to be absolutely sure they would never be a threat again.

[luckshiptoshore]

it is actually completely insane that there have been two Patricia-focused episodes of Widow’s Bay so far and both of them have delivered images that are instantly, instantly iconic.

literally you take one look at the shot of Patricia in the horns, or her in the orange shirt holding the gun, and you know that people are going to be doing this for halloween. they’re going to be parodying and referencing this in their own art. this fucking show has aired eight episodes and it’s fully changing the horror game already.

i love when they tell matthew rhys things in widow’s bay and he hits the shocked pikachu

[highest-violet]

it’s so very awesome how much widow’s bay is catching on so more people can experience how matthew rhys’s face transforms when he’s completely and utterly devastated. it gutting and heartbreaking and totally wrecks you. the americans fandom will never recover from seeing it so damn often. it’s the saddest face you’ll ever see in your whole life

[clementine-kesh]

it does not matter how bored i am or how strict my dad is if i was a teenager in a freaky stephen king ass town with a frankly absurd history of freaky murders and supernatural shenanigans i would not be sneaking out to smoke weed with my buddies. are you kidding me. one rustle in the bushes and i’d be holy shit guys we’re done for it’s the boogeyman or the sea hag or the murder clown or

[solflower-seeds]

if i had a nickel for every time hamish linklater played a looming figure on an island where it’s misfortunes were caused by him in the pursuit of misguided salvation i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s funny that’s it’s happened twice right

[moonshynecybin]

widow’s bay season 2 where they realize tourists suck and then try to figure out a way to re-haunt the island

[highest-violet]

Tom: You dug up the founder’s corpse????

Patricia: Yeah, he’s right over there.

Wyck: Upstairs, actually. He wants to talk to you.

This is THE SHOW OF ALL TIME.

[clementine-kesh]

consider the following scenario: you live in a quaint little village on a cursed island in new england. the mayor wants to turn it into the next big tourist destination, but you think this is a bad idea due to the aforementioned curse and all the associated supernatural bullshit. in order to prove that this isn’t a big deal the mayor offers to stay the night in the local inn, said to be haunted by several ghosts including a clown murderer and dead bride. you agree on the condition that he films himself and shows you the tapes in the morning to make sure he went through with it. upon reviewing the recordings he made and accompanying security footage you find him just riding the absolute shit out of the ghost of the clown murderer. going at it like crazy in every position all over the inn’s common space. how does this influence your opinion of the mayor?

imagine being trapped on a small town island your entire life and your high school frenemies in their cold shoulder tops and statement necklaces still treat you exactly the same even though you’re in your 40s. no one wants to come to your party except your coworkers who kind of have to. also there’s a possessed book or whatever but that’s barely horrifying compared to the rest of it

you know what, props to Wyck in seeing the stolen Boogeyman mask and rushing to Patricia IMMEDIATELY. he knows about her connection, trusts what she said, and he didn’t hesitate.

[weird-goodbyes]

the greatest thing about the trolley problem conversation is that it immediately smacks you in the face with the real issue. maybe Tom was willing to do it when it was a woman who is older and who is the last one. But he finds out it’s Evan? No. No way. The trolley problem only works when you don’t love any of the people on the tracks. The greater good means nothing if the person you love most is the sacrificial lamb. But the thing is….almost everyone in the whole world is someone’s Evan. Of course when it’s numbers and hypotheticals, it’s easy. But when it’s your heart? The numbers mean nothing anymore.
