#Shock Rock Movie

[wottanightsstuff]

As this year approaches its natural conclusion, I think it is important to mention the tumblr sexymen, who, for one reason or another, did not get to be this year

MOK SWAGGER (Rock & Rule )

truly a shame, just imagine what I could have done with those lips of his.

STARBOY. (DISNEY'S 'WISH' FIRST SCRIPTS)

At first it may have seemed that Magnífico was a tumblr sexyman wannabe, but now we know that they sacrificed the one they had for a fucking luma.

and of course

Bert Schnick (shock tratment)

He may have faked a disability but at least people remember the movie for him.

God, how I love late 80s / early 90s hard rock / heavy metal horror films

Thought you might enjoy this article about body horror in recent movies: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2025-01-07/body-horror-substance-different-man (lmk if you need a pdf and I can send one!)

This was a good article! I haven't seen a different man yet and I'm personally only about half a fan of the substance-- i thought it had a lot of really interesting setup for an ending that fell flat, one of the rare instances where I wish they had focused more on the message of her personal horror more than the aesthetics and shock value of the body horror visuals. The movie made good points about the ruthlessness of hollywood and societal insecurities (mostly about getting old, but also about being praised and desirable). However, it might have been more impactful if it wasn't so heavy handed. Personally, I'm always disappointed when disfigurement is leaned on as the big scary reveal, or when it's used as a cautionary tale, a punishment for a character's poor decisions.

Either way, I'm always happy to see body horror making some waves in the public eye, especially when the sanitization of anything unseemly in film has been trending with hollywood again.

Some of my favorite commentary about body horror comes from david cronenberg (no surprise) calling it "the body beautiful" in an interview about crimes of the future (2022). Along these same lines, body horror to me is about the horror of the human condition, change, and physiological functions that are out of our control.

Whether you find it "horror" enough to actually horrify you is a personal matter; some revulsion is derived from the combination of the romanticized and the grotesque inherent in the living organic matter that we all are, blurring the lines between "good" and "bad" and between pleasure and pain, a deeply objectionable idea to many sensibilities. That's usually what I'm looking for when sitting down for a body horror film.

Oh, and of course, it goes without saying that it should always be practical effects.

Funny little story about me and nimona: i was just a kid when the prints arrived in a couple bookstores in my country. Very much coincidentally, a way smaller version of me picked it up and showed to her mom. Very much coincidentally, she bought it, and it became my favourite book for years. Not even kidding, that book brought me so much comfort when i didnt even speak this language, when i half a world away from where the first panel was drawn, and when i didnt even know half the things about myself than i do now. thanks nimona, love u tons

Honestly a lot of my favorite horror ends up being games I 100% will never play and wouldn't enjoy playing, but that I managed to find someone who was able to convey enough to me to make me really care (though often leaving holes that I really want to fill but either can't sit through the whole playthough, or can't find the right playthrough, or... similar, you know?)

Dead Space, Marrow, Siren... all games I really like, games that have a lot (or uh... what's it called... Som... Sola... Signalis!)

But Dead Space I can't find the right playthrough, and Marrow I just crave something more from an imperfect game (video I watched is by doshdoshington)

Or supergreatfriend's playthrough of Siren is pretty much flawless... but... it's like 59 15-30mintue long videos, and the 60th explainer video is nearly 3 hours long on it's own... I always make it like 20 videos in before not being able to pay attention anymore

(Also like his playthrough of Deadly Premonition)

So you maybe see my problem, all these great pieces of horror I can really only engage with through these weird one off means that never quite leave me satisfied (like no way I'm beating MyHouse.WAD, I'm not even close to that good nor do I enjoy playing DOOM even if I respect it)

Love horror, just can't stand anything made in the genre because it all sucks and is boring and has stupid twists or pacing that annoys me and I hate everything about it except a few gems I can't interact with

But like I said, love horror
