With the new adaptation of Carrie coming out, I figured it was finally time to share my moodboard for Chris Hargensen. 💔

***I should note that while I do think she is a complex character who acts as a foil to Carrie, her complexities DO NOT justify her actions. 🙅🏼‍♀️***

Is this a sign that I need to reread the book (for a third time)? Mayhaps 🤷🏼‍♀️

This one is never getting finished so you can have it anyway

it's interesting to me how vampire in modern media became an allegory of exploitation and abuse whereas in folklore the vampire symbolizes fear of improper death and the perpetual liminality that comes with it. the folkloric vampire is a creature that violates the rules of proper life stages (the birth-marriage-death rites of passage), usually a warlock or a child that came from a woman impregnated by evil forces, that cannot live a proper life and therefore cannot aquire a proper death and in a continuity of that cannot enter the otherworld properly. it's a warning of dangers of non-conformity. if you live a life that is other from one that's expected of you by customary law you will turn into a monster

Hey, what do you think about a new Ellen in new Nosferatu 2024 remake?

Hi there!

Ok, so I'll state my opinion based on comparisons with versions of Ellen's character in 1922 by Murnau and 1979 by Herzog.

I think it's pretty funny that it was latest remake of Nosferatu that made people at large actively ship Orlok x Ellen - from what I see. When it never was the case with 1922 and 1979 versions (in the later she was called Lucy Harker).

I think it's noticeble that out of three versions of Ellen we had on screen 2024 Ellen was somewhat the version where they kinda took away important stuff which was in 1922 and 1979 movies. Ellen no longer finds the way how to kill Nosferatu, she also doesn't take decision to take her own life in sacrifice entirely on her own and doesn't come up with a plan how to do it, like the case with 1922 and 1979 movies - now it belongs to remake Van Helsing-type character, who finds then tells her all important information and when basically talks her into taking one for the team. Ellen of course dies in the end and Van Helsing -type character is of course alive and dandy. In place of that they gave Ellen a lot of Possession (1981) type of spasms, convulsing, and seizures scenes and it's showy for horror and stuff, but it's hardly a worthy and smart replacement for Ellen doing really intellegent work and plotting and making a choice to give up her life entirely independent. Not to mention movie doesn't provide any good plot or narrative reasons why Ellen couldn't do both all that spasming and doing the research work and plotting work like she did in original Nosferatu movie and its 1970s remake.

2024 remake also makes Ellen far more responsible for all the tragedy and horror that happen in the movie. Ellen/Lucy in 1922 and 1979 movies had absolutely no responsibility for Orlok/Dracula setting sights on them - in both cases he accidently saw the picture of the woman and got obsessed and that's it. In 2024 remake however Ellen due ho her psychic powers which are cracked up to 10 here summoned Orlok and made a mental connection with him while she was still young and that's how he got interested in her and that's why he went to Germany later. Then when Orlok got to Germany and started having conversations with Ellen face to face he began throwing ultimatums at her saying that if she won't be with him he'll start killing her loved ones -and when she didn't comply at first he killed some of those loved ones. That didn't happen with 1922 and 1979 versions, Orlok/Dracula killed people in both those versions including some of the people in Ellen's close circle-her friends, but he didn't make any ultimatums about it to her either in any of those versions. So yeah, while Ellen in remake made connection with him by accident in her youth because she was lonely and stuff and it's not like she wanted her friend and her friend's little daughters to die, remake repeatedly puts far more responsibility on her - which further alters and muddles her sacrifice. While in 1922, 1979 movies Ellen's sacrifice was sudden, desperate measures caused by terrible situation she unexpectedly found herself in, and because there was no other way and nobody else to save everyone, and sacrifice was fully executed by Ellen alone and unquestionably heroic, it's not like this in 2024 remake. She still is the one who literally woke vampire from his undead slumber and thus set in motion the subsequent events. Vampire's coming to Germany is nor longer sudden and out of the blue, but pretty much inevitable continuation of what happened when she established connection with Orlok in her youth. She must have known as well that when refusing vampire's ultimatums her friend and her friend's family are going likely to die by the hands of vampire considering what he was and that she actually knew him. So, her sacrificing herself to him in the end in-movie also becomes practically inevitable and basically obligatory conclusion to all this mess. Again, due to responsibility and extra involvement that remake places on her by adding previously non-exisisting plot lines or moments. At the same time movie took away most of her intelligence and competence that she had in 1922 and 1979 movies - leaving her the act of presenting herself to vampire to feed on her and distract vampire till daylight and then die. Coincidentally that's also the version of the character that also shows her naked breasts on screen and makes out with Orlok on the mouth. For plot reasons, of course. Only those plot reasons somehow couldn't fit in what 1922 and 1979 versions both did well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is honestly why I prefer the 1979 version

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years. 

If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life. 

[thingsamylikes]

I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.

Amy Peterson - Fright Night

My poor baby 🥺

Amy has slowly become one of my favorite characters of all time (and that’s a huge feat)

And TBH - of all the characters in Fright Night, she (and frankly Evil Ed) both deserved so much better ❤️‍🩹

in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like

[roach-works]

look, here’s the thing: alice in wonderland’s enduring fucking charm is that it perfectly captures the vibe of being a very tired and annoyed child who is nonetheless required to play along with adult nonsense.

alice is dragged from place to place without warning, forced to play stupid games with no good prizes, grilled over her schooling and manners and recitation and dress, scolded, judged, insulted to her face, sent away, given gifts she didn’t ask for and doesn’t like, corrected incorrectly, been subject to shifting and arbitrary rules, and then when she gets snappish with all this bullshit everyone acts like a little girl’s temper is the end of the fucking world.

alice in wonderland isn’t a drug trip or a nightmare or a metaphor, that’s just what being ten years old is LIKE. that’s why kids love it so much. even if they can’t quite articulate how, they recognize themselves in it.
