  • The thumbnail made me see the man first, and it was interesting how the dog emerged in my vision— first as a man wearing a jacket with a dogface on the back, and then suddenly the entire man transforming into a dog facing the other way like an animorph.

    If I’d seen the enlarged image first, or if I’d seen it on a monitor instead of a phone screen, probably would have seen the dog first and struggled to see the man.








  • After developing PTSD for an unrelated issue, I can’t watch horror anymore. But before that I was a fan. I remember being distinctly disappointed by the Silent Hill movie as betraying the core fundamentals of horror writing, and frustrated that they took what was supposed to be a psychological journey into the psyche of the main characters and turned it into a boring “evil cult” story. They didn’t even make the cult scary in the way real cults are scary.

    A friend of mine actually liked the movie, on the premise that it wasn’t trying to be horror, but just a shock-value gore-o-rama. I don’t see the appeal.

    The scariest movie I ever saw? Literally gave me nightmares and kept me up for weeks? The Exorcist. It probably helps that I’m kinda religious. Regardless, never watched that movie twice. Even if I didn’t have unrelated issues, I’d never watch that movie again. A+ horror.
