[sheryl-lee]

We must work. We must make money. But more than that, Bella, we must experience everything. Not just the good, but degradation, horror, sadness. This makes us whole, Bella, makes us people of substance. Not flighty, untouched children. Then we can know the world. And when we know the world, the world is ours.

The trouble with this part of the world is that they have too many fairy tales.

This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse (1967)

[thecurseofthesixth]

I'm feeling so guilty (?) for not liking that one book that I waited too long to read because it seemed so perfect and promised to be everything I wanted in a horror lesbian story.

[thecurseofthesixth]

The one I thought would resolve this was way worse, it started as a cliche story of cheating and marriage problems and was doing well, it could be also about beauty and how men always try to prove something for themselves intead of trying to understand what the woman they love wants, in the end it's always about how they feel. The book itself was said to go as down as explore the porn industry of bizarre fetiches, ones that the author didn't even try to write but also didn't took the work of make the reader curious, she added a queer relationship, out of norm way of life and "weird" people but it all seemed to be pointless since they all came and went nowhere, in fact it all felt like a way to get non horror readers to be shocked and grossed out by what the way the main character chooses to be free of men.

EYES WITHOUT A FACE (1960) dir. Georges Franju

[vampirecorleone]

“Has a woman ever died in my room?” | “This is London. Someone has died in every room in every building and on every street corner in the city.” | “I’m not going to prison. I’ve been in a prison all my life.”

Last Night In Soho (2021) dir. Edgar Wright

[vampirecorleone]

“Don’t be a good neighbor to her. I’ll send you a love letter, straight from my heart, fucker! You know what a love letter is? It’s a bullet from a fucking gun, fucker! You receive a love letter from me, you’re fucked forever! You understand, fuck? I’ll send you straight to hell, fucker!” | “You stay alive, baby. Do it for Van Gogh.” | “I looked for you in my closet tonight.” | “Don’t toast to my health, toast to my fuck!”

“She eats unmarried young girls. It is the only time she can wear her wedding gown.”

Hausu (1977) dir. Nobuhiko Obayashi

“I guess she’s sort of beautiful. I don’t know, those lips. You know, lips are supposed to be a perfect reflection of another part of a woman’s anatomy. Not that I’m a lesbian. Well, maybe I am. No, definitely not. I told my mother I was, just for shock value. She said “fine, just as long as you don’t smoke,” which of course is my main joy in life. I can’t imagine where she came from. I mean, none of the other girls that go to my school are that scangie. I really wish we could be friends.”

POISON IVY (1992) dir. Katt Shea

[thecurseofthesixth]

“The head said, “I may have been birthed a different way from that child, but I, too, am your creation, Mother.”
