Skipping around thoughts here but there is just something so good about taking a childhood/teen coming of age and dunking it straight into the horror genre
#also something something they can be such tragedies that are only amplified by the way people.. move on after the end#because thats what happens you know. graduating / growing up / ect feels so huge and worldshaking and terrifying in the years leading up#to it#and then it just happens you move on and keep living#dennis doesnt marry leigh. they barely talk four years on from surviving a nightmare together. he admits#he doesnt think of arnie all that often anymore. he doesnt think about his athletics#because he grew up and has a job and just sort of lives his life now#the tragedy of arnie's death is amplified by the fact that if he'd survived long enough to get out of high school#he'd have gained that little bit more control over his own life. things couldve made a turn for the better#oscar- overlooked or ignored or seen too late by the adults in his life- disappeared. became a local mystery#one casualty of many over the course of one bleak winter#gretchen and abby drift and lose touch only a short time after they save each other's lives#teenage slasher begins with the fact that Tolly hasnt seen Amber since he was 17 and doesn't know what she's up to now#idk!! i think its a compelling part of the coming of age horror story#even a crucial part of IT was about growing up and getting on with life and forgetting what you were so scared of#until its right back in front of you
