okay if i had a horror channel i would probably talk about things in a more attempting-to-be-reasonable fashion. but i would also make fun of, for instance, john carpenter being sooooo scared by a mentally ill teenager

#it's mental not physical ableism in that case but yknow.... they're both fucking rampant #(context: JC citing visiting a ward w/his psychology class classmates #and getting soooo disturbed by an 'adolescent boy'#with a 'schizophrenic stare')#(as inspiration for michael. according to the wiki page which cites a video so yknow i haven't watched that but like #considering how horror directors Are i have no reason to doubt it at this time)#(anyway 2007 halloween had Many problems of its own but i love how you just get the effect of looking at this miserable little boy #while dr 'skeezy' loomis intones shit about him having the EYES.... .OF THE DEVIIIIIL #bc it at least seems a little aware of how fucked up it is for a psychologist to say that about a kid he's supposed to be helping #at least god i hope that was supposed to be the effect)#(john carpenter also described halloween as 'pure crass exploitation' so like. your words not mine my dude. my easily-scared dude)
