once upon a time, there was a girl.

this little detail was the subject of much debate, with the girl herself never consulted, on account of being biased on the matter.

ultimately it was decided that there was not, in fact, a girl, after all, despite any evidence presented by the girl herself.

needless to say, the girl could have been happier about this conclusion.

but she learned to live with it.

after all, there were things left only to the imaginary, including her.

this morning we were trailed on the way to the bus stop by a horrible, unintelligible racket that sounded like recorded voice

at some point we stopped and turned around to see what was going on and a person with a panicked look on their face was pushing a rental bike that was loudly demanding to be returned to its home or it would call the police

(it was already well within its normal haunting grounds, but apparently did not realise it)

classic vincent price!

we have been meaning to watch through vincent price's filmography at some point, and this was a fantastic jump-in point!

the good: a haunted mansion, a group of guests, an eccentric host, an exorbitant payout offered to anyone who survives the night... the doors lock at midnight, what could go wrong?

the *really* good: vincent price's screen presence

the bad: not fond of even one character

the ugly: """hysteria"""

every hour is the witching hour when you are a witch

urban nocturne aesthetic

nothing gets the right-leaning voters to the polls like *checks notes* minorities begging for their lives

photos of wind-aligned spirits, taken by the subject of the photo, are sylphies

outside seattle: "i don't know if i could live in seattle, all that rain"
inside seattle: "this is entirely too little rain please send more rain more rain MORE RAIN"

urban nocturne aesthetic

every ghost story, every haunted house tale

is a story about trauma and the damage it leaves in its wake

sometimes upon people who were directly present and affected

sometimes it is about generational trauma

but always trauma

a ghost story with a luscious atmosphere.

liked the cast, loved the cinematography, adored the mood

this was definitely a slow burn, but that is fine by us, as the time was being well-spent easing the audience into the protagonist's head

anyhow, recommendable to fans to psychological deep-dives and/or ghost stories!
