When Trent Reznor said “I wanna fuck you like an animal” what animal do you think he had in mind, wrong answers only

The old horror movies also had deep symbolism you were just to young to know it!

Alien? Full of metaphors about sexuality and rape

Nightmare on Elm street? Metaphors about generational trauma and violence

Halloween? The inevitability of death

Friday the 13th? Fear of sexuality

I COULD GO ON!

HORROR HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT EXPLORING THE DARK UNCONSCIOUSNESS OF HUMANITY AND PIGEON HOLING IT AS LESSER ART IS A MISTAKE

[skeletalroses]

Horror also reflects the anxieties of its time! The nuclear era of the 1950s showed us lots of mutants, monsters, and science gone bad. The ‘80s saw the golden age of serial killers (carried over from the ‘70s), suburban excess, reactionary conservatism, and Satanic Panic; thus we get slashers carving up wild-partying teens, plus creepy neighbors and home invasions. Current horror often deals with themes of alienation, gentrification, apocalypse/societal collapse, and pressure to perform an Instagram-perfect social veneer—you know, #JustLateCapitalismThings.

And yes, horror is in fact the Most important genre, culturally, politically, artistically, and philosophically.

Even going further back…

Dracula is about a fear of foreigners, sex, (and sexy foreigners) and death.

Frankenstein is about mankind’s desire to mess with nature and the consequences of that.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde is about seemingly nice, “respectable” men secretly being monsters.

The Tell-Tale Heart is about guilt.

My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:

Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.

[sighinastorm]

I like this so much better than the idea that our ancestors would be embarrassed or ashamed of us for being “soft” or some crap like that.

My ancestors, watching me stuff my face with fried chicken while studying: She eats like an imperial concubine and can afford to study like am imperial scholar. WE MADE IT

My ancestors watching me use my stand mixer while living in a small apartment and attending university: Thou hast kneadeth bread in FOUR hail marys??? FOUR??? And thou ist poor as a churchmouse, yet liveth in a fine cottage with four pounds butter and fresh berries in thy larder!! And two featherbeds! And thou attendeth the King’s college, as a lord!!

[lagt-duck]

My ancestors being like:

Look at this fine young lady! She can paint she can sew and embrody, she sings and read

And without a wealthy father to pay for that, plus she is florid in the body! She doesn’t know hunger!

We did it!

Me: /wearily studying/

My Ancestors: TRULY SH— what? They? A little unorthodox, but reasonable I suppose. TRULY THEY PROSPER, FOR THEY LIVE IN A DWELLING WITH MANY ROOMS AND ONLY THEIR SPOUSE TO SHARE IT WITH! THEY HAVE DOGS WHO DO NOT PERFORM A FUNCTION! THEY HAVE MANY BOOKS AND DO NOT HAVE TO SPIN THEIR OWN YARN! THEY BATHE AT A WHIM WITH GENTLE SOAP FREE OF LYE! OUR DESCENDANT BRINGS HONOR AND PRIDE TO OUR LINEAGE!

Me: /yawns and sips my coffee/

My Ancestors: /cheer wildly/

[shadow-daughter]

Me: *hunched over at my desk nursing a headache.*

My Ancestors: “Truly, we prosper; see here, our infirm descendant need not even work on her poor days, but has the luxury to rest as she sees need! A doctor attends to her illnesses; her clothes are warm and free of pests; she cares for exotic and dangerous animals within her own home! We have found the height of luxury!”

[amuseoffyre]

Me: *treats myself to a pineapple and a bunch of bananas*

My Georgian ancestors: ZOOTH SHE HAS BOUGHT A PINEAPPLE! NOT MERELY BORROWED ONE! TRULY SHE HAS ACHIEVED FAR MORE THAN WE COULD KNOW!
