House on Haunted Hill
The guests are given miniature coffins containing pistols. The hostess hangs herself part way through the festivities. There’s an acid vat in the wine cellar. And a plastic skeleton flies over the audience at a key moment. If nothing else, William Castle’s HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959, Shudder, Prime, AMC+, Tubi, YouTube) proves the man sure knew how to throw a party. After his first gimmick film, MACABRE (1958), made back almost ten times its cost, Castle realized the real money was in the teen market, so he and writer Robb White made HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL. Its combination of carnival tricks, Vincent Price and the wonder of Emergo (the flying skeleton trick) brought in more than ten times its cost and set Castle on the road to more gimmick-laden horror films that were camp before Susan Sontag ever used the term. His two films with Price (1959’s THE TINGLER is the other) are probably the best of the bunch, even if HOUSE has some big plot holes and a pretty dreadful damsel in distress.
Price stars as an eccentric millionaire who rents a haunted house (Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House on the outside, a Hollywood Victorian monstrosity on the inside, and no, they don’t look like the same house) and invites four strangers (or so he thinks) and the house’s owner (Elisha Cook, Jr.) to spend the night. If they survive, they each get $10,000, but when strange things start happening, particularly to cash-strapped secretary Carolyn Craig, that begins to seem a pretty big “if.” Although at first reluctant to take part, Price’s greedy wife (Carol Ohmart) starts visiting Craig and handsome test pilot Richard Long to sow the seeds of fear and distrust.
Yes, the film is arrant nonsense. But it’s so much fun only a curmudgeon would care. Price is surprisingly subdued, while Ohmart, originally marketed as “the female Marlon Brando,” is just delicious trading zingers with him. The most fun in the cast, however, is Cook. He keeps popping up with predictions of doom as he gets progressively drunker. Poor Craig is pretty awful; she’s whiny and her terror seems forced (Long deserved some kind of award for keeping a straight face during their scenes). But that actually adds to the camp element. You also get Alan Marshall as a cheesy British psychiatrist who keeps talking about “hysteeria,” Robert Mitchum’s sister, Julie, as a newswoman and Leona Anderson as the blind caretaker who keeps turning up to give Craig something to suffer by.

BRUTUS pt.1!!
THIS IS A SONGFIC RAHHH
summary: uhoh yu jie go a lil’ cray-cray 🤪🤪🤪 lil peice of lore drop!!
ive been watching him for my entire life
“Oh what’s that!“ my younger brother squeals digging through my cupboard filled with stories.
I try to supress a grimace, as he rips out pages hazardly. I want to shout, to scream. But I know I’ll be punished.
i hate the air he breathes, his foolish decrees
He grins up at me light shining in his eyes. Oh how desperately I wish to put it out.
his words so contrived
“When I’m older I wanna be just like you Yu Jie!“ He says splattered in colorful paint, while Father ruffles his hair and whistles. and i hate the way the townspeople gather outside “Wow! This is a work of art!“ My mother gasps as she holds out my brothers newest work of trash. A bunch of scribbles is what it truly was.
they hang on every breath, cling to his chest “Yu Jie! How dare you make fun of your brother!“ My mother cries, I clench my fists as I look down at the ground. “Answer me!“ She raises her hand quickly, and I flinch. My first mistake. She narrows her eyes down at me before pinching my arm, “Listen here young lady, we do not disrespect our male relatives“ Tears streak my cheak as I try not to cry from her grip. She pinches tighter. “Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear.“ “...Yes Mother.“ home to his heart full of pride
“Awwwww... ʰᵃ́ᵒʸᵘ̀ this is a beautiful poem!“ Mother gushed over him while Father smoked a pipe and coughed all the smoke over the kitchen table.
’Why do I never get proper recognition? Just why?’
the oracle told him to beware the ides
He looks down clearly sad, I don’t care but Mother and Father would get on my case for not asking why.
“What’s wrong?“ I nudge him slightly wth my foot not wanting to get closer
“N-nothing...“
I narrow my eyes, he was always bad at hiding secrets.
and id be lying if i said i wasnt wishing
He giggles holding up a red toy, red.
Red was all I could see.
for untimely death or demise
“What do you mean Scarlett??“ I glare down at the girl trying so hard not to cry, creasing the newspaper almost causing rips in the paper.
Idiot. You can’t rely on anyone ever since the princess came to power...
“I- Well I just-“ She babbles on, I grimace and snatch it away from her and open it up.
He was on the front page.
I was not.
or am i wishing i could be like you
He grabs me by my ponytails and throws me in the cellar.
His beady eyes watching me.
Forever judging.
He wouldn’t do this to him.
Of course not! He’s the golden child after all...
that the people would see me too as a poet
’She ruffles my hair and looks down at me, the light shining in her eyes.’
’Oh how I ˡᵒᵛᵉᵈ my mother...’
’And oh how she ˡᵒᵛᵉᵈ me...’
and not just the muse
I woke up. Bedroom was as small and dusty as usual.
I should get a maid, but Mother only says ’dignified’ children get servants.
Then why does he have one?
Tagging!!

Ramshackle's first Dorm Leader and Vice...
Part 1: What exactly happened at Ramshackle? Part 2: History Paper
At this point in the mystery, Yuu has started recording their findings to look back on. Eventually, Leona's the first one to crack the language on one of the journals and there's a repeating name in there: Anderson. A few of the journals point out Anderson as being the dorm leader, but some have shortened his name to Addy. They talk about Addy in adoration, clearly looking up to him in good light. But none of them go into extensive detail about him... until Vil finds another journal, this one containing the name Carmen.
Carmen's journal talks about Addy's plan he has for the magicless members of Ramshackle and how Carmen tries to voice his concerns about the plan. He talks about the book Addy found in the library, but both the book and the spell have been rubbed out due to age. The journal ends with Carmen's frantic writings about apologizing to the members they got killed from this spell and a promise to tell their families about what happened.
Within the journals they managed to translate and learn who is who, one missing thing stands out: Addy's own journal. While they search for the dorm leader's journal, Lilia uncovers a picture someone took of Addy.
It shows Addy sitting in his room... the room Yuu and Grim are currently staying in.
#twisted wonderland#twst rambles#twst ramshackle#twst ramshackle theory#okay this has now gotten a mind of it's own and i wasn't expecting this at all#but the concept is so cool and full of mystery

Many great divas of the last thirty to forty years have been African Americans: Grace Bumbry, Martina Arroyo, Shirley Verrett, Leona Mitchell, Betty Allen, Mattiwilda Dobbs, Kathleen Battle, Leontyne Price, Jessye Norman. And yet, until recently, opera was a white enterprise. Most opera houses forbade women or men of color from singing or attending. Few blacks attended the Metropolitan Opera, even in the absence of strict segregation policies, and no blacks sang leading roles there until Marian Anderson made her postprime debut in 1955 as Ulrica the gypsy witch in Un Ballo in Maschera. Rosalyn M. Story's recent study, And So I Sing: African-American Divas of Opera and Concert, details a long history of African-American women achieving fame either through recital work or through operatic performances in all-black companies.
In Jean-Jacques Beineix's film Diva, the diva, Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez, an American woman of color, subverts the traditional image of the white diva and reminds us that divas, though usually white, have been linked to racial otherness, darkness, exoticism, and "blood". Long before the recent flourishing of the African-American diva, opera culture used images of darkness to demonize the diva. Color is one of the primary metaphors for the qualities of vocal tone. Singers are taught to avoid the "white" sound and to cover the tones, to make them darker. Roles like Carmen rely on the notion of the diva's "Latin blood". When divas have been made up to appear Asian or African for such roles as Aida, Selika, Cio-Cio-San, and Iris, they were expressing opera culture's insistence on the dark nature of the diva, as well as underscoring, in a problematic masquerade, the white diva's separation from the women of color she portrays.
The voice of the black operatic or concert diva was imagined to emanate directly from her ethnicity: commentators referred to Marian Anderson's "Negroid sound." And listeners have used metaphors of darkness and of racial essence to describe the appeal of certain female operatic voices even when the singer was white. Maria Malibran and Pauline Viardot were frequently described as having non-European features; one friend of Malibran speculated on the diva's "negro blood." A journalist, describing Adelina Patti as a child, notices her "little brown throat," her "Dark arms" clinging to her girl playmates' "white little necks"; because of her darkness, she is a "born exponent of the Spanish type." Italian origin was itself considered a sign of darkness: Margherita de L'Epine was called the "tawny Tuscan."
The diva brings her vocal treasure abroad, on tour to the colonies; and she finds there, among the colonized, a reflection of her abjected organ. Galli-Curci's biographer, narrating the diva's tour of Asia and Africa, alternates descriptions of her "native" audiences and accounts of her larynx's increasing vulnerability to medical specialists and to disease, as if the diva's voice, sent to tame and tranquilize the colonized, were itself the empire's possession, doomed to mysterious maladies and uncontrolled passions. Galli-Curci was like a missionary bent on conquering darkness; but her voice, because it was female, hidden, and inscrutable, was already aligned, in the imagery of empire, with the colonized.
- The Queen’s Throat: Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of Desire, Wayne Koestenbaum.
