“there are several reasons why the horror genre declined – in both quality and popularity – at the tail end of the 1930s & into the 40s. firstly, the narrative conventions became so well established that they appeared formulaic and predictable, especially when the same-old same-old monsters were put into rotation time and time again. then, political strife curtailed a lot of european filmmaking. thirdly, movies with supernatural, violent, science fiction or fantasy elements became a target for literal-minded censors, who were concerned that the masses might believe or, still worse, imitate the horrors they witnessed on the silver screen.”

'Message in a Bottle' is so funny because imagine you're Starfleet and you just set loose a brand-new state of the art ship. You lose contact with it and send someone to investigate. When they come back they tell you that the ship fired at them, literally every single Starfleet officer aboard was killed, there are unconscious bodies of Romulans littering the floor and in the middle of this carnage there's an outdated model of a medical hologram which is acting uncannily human and claiming that it has a message from the long-lost USS Voyager: "We're still alive." Voyager really earns its rep as a doom harbinger.
#I laughed through that whole episode#WHY did Starfleet say 'Can we make the EMH even gayer please? PLEASE? For God's sake.'#two queens argue and scream for 40 minutes - the episode <3 no notes#The fact that Starfleet had given up searching for Voyager for over a year before they got in contact#st voyager#st voyager message in a bottle#voyager is such a 'do not be afraid' ass crew#Like if I was just a random starfleet officer and I came across that shit described above I'd be like is this a HORROR movie????#A terrifying miracle

the wolf man (1941) directed by george waggner
"The way you walked was thorny, through no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end. Your suffering is over, Bela my son. Now you will find peace."
