31 Nights of Halloween Horror 2024

Day 5

Sorry this is technically 2 days late now, work has been busy. My choice for Saturday was the new Sarah Paulson movie: Hold Your Breath

I rated this 8/10. I've seen mixed reviews for it, but I really liked it! Creepy and atmospheric, even when I correctly guessed what was going to happen, I wasn't disappointed. Great acting from everyone in the movie, Sarah was fantastic of course, and I really enjoyed the actress playing the older daughter Rose. Great slowburn creepy movie, definitely worth a watch!

HOLD YOUR BREATH (2024)

💁‍♀️Strong Female Lead

A spooky movie set in the Oklahoma panhandle so you know you are going to see at least one cow. Sarah Paulson has a new family (cause we all know how well she did with her family in Run) and is ready to keep everyone safe (this time). Smart use of sign language for deaf character but also to tell secrets between characters. Child actors exceeded expectations. A rather bleak but still fascinating look at the old times and the horrors that come with it, both fictional and non. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

As someone who has been to the Oklahoma panhandle, I can tell you, all she is is flat and windy. In some ways it is the perfect setting for a horror, in others it isn’t, like how you can see for literally miles but this movie makes up for that with the severe dust storms that limit vision which makes everything feel much spookier. Actually, dust is low-key the villain of this story, that and the Grey Man who is made up of dust (so there). The other villain we won’t discover until later so just keep watching (or in your case, reading). Margaret and her two daughters Rose and Ollie have their home, home on the plains and they are waiting for their father to return from work (like that will ever happen). Dust storms are deadly as ever as it’s the 1930’s and times are hard. 

Rose tells Ollie the story of the Grey Man, a killer who was so evil he disappeared into dust and can be breathed in to make you do his bidding! Ollie is scared but she isn’t the only one who believes in this mystical man, Mama Margaret starts to suspect he might be real after hearing some suspicious rumors. There was also a whole man who broke into their barn and threatened them but that has less to do with the Grey Man and more to do with them just being really unlucky. Seriously, getting accosted by that stranger really messed them up, especially Margaret, who is a full grown adult who believes in this boogeyman figure (and I’m an adult who can’t figure out if he is real or not in this film yet).

They try to go out but Margaret is seriously not adjusting to anything well, she is freaking out all the time and rarely leaves the house. They finally go to a dance but Margie loses it completely ranting on and on about the Grey Man, Rose tries to back her up but she’s too busy swan diving off of the deep end. When they get home Margaret is worse somehow and Rose figures out that Mama Margie is our other villain but now Marge wants everyone to have a hang out in heaven (yikes). With very clever thinking Rose tricks Margaret into going outside during a dust storm and then cuts her lead rope, stranding her and leaving her to die, saving both her and Ollie. The movie ends with them headed probably East since Rose spoke of wanting to see Philadelphia (Philly, represent) but all we know and care about is that they saw green, green grass finally after all that dust.

Saw it before lecture today. Slow and bleak, that's the best description I'd say. And, Sarah was wonderful as always.

A Dead Poet's Cry

I saw this girl the other day

And it felt like I had seen her before

As if I'd known her somewhere in some way

She smiled when she saw me

And I knew that's what she did for everyone

That was the thing about her,

She loved smiles; it reminded her of battles won

But there was something wrong

She knew I could see it too

So she wore that smile further

But just for a moment there, it faltered

And just for a moment then, I could see through

I saw it all in front of me then; laid bare

How far she'd loved and how bad shed lost

How much she'd had to suffer, when all she'd done was care

I felt broken then, as if I were the one who'd been betrayed

I felt hurt on her behalf

I couldn't understand who would do this to someone

Who didn't deserve to cry, but to laugh

I felt angered ar that someone

And I think I knew who

And I wanted to hold her, and tell her

'don't leave, I still love you'

Something told me that's what she wanted to hear too

Just once, not for me or anyone else, but for THAT person to care

To whisper, 'don't worry, I'm not going anywhere'

I reached out; to be that person for her, i tried

But the closer I got, the worse, for the loss, she cried

They say she wears her grief well

Or is it the other way around?

Cause that's what they'd taught her to do

To bear it all, and yet, not make a sound

She assured me; 'its fine' she said

Even though it was clearly not

My heart hurt to see her

Waiting for someone who'd succumbed her to this rot

And I wondered if that's what love was

I'd never believed in it; now I detested it even more so

Because it has killed her alive

And even still refused to let her let go

I pleaded her to forget; to somehow just live

But she just shook her head sadly

And I knew there was nothing left in her to give

I saw it slipping

Her facade giving away

And I saw what once was beautiful

Fading with people who didn't stay

What justice is this, I asked

I wondered why she so stubbornly held on

There came that smile again, full of pain and loss,

And something told me, she's never accept they're gone

Her eyes dimmed then

And her smile finally dropped

Tears rushed to fill her eyes to the brim

And my heart just stopped

And she stared back at me

The girl behind the glass

Her hope had been the end of her

Her innocence, her love, her smile, now gone

Lost somewhere in the blur

I assume you’ve heard about the Zelda movie?

I was thinking about making some (low-level) Content™ for Mental Health Awareness Month because it starts in a few days, and I realized just how few explicitly canon mentally ill characters-that aren’t treated with absolutely appalling disrespect-I actually know. :(

Hold Your Breath (2024)

[wheelercore]

Trying to figure out whether st is referencing Kubrick's The Shining or Stephen King's original book. Or both?

Because ST takes quite a lot of influence from Stephen King (and tangentially related stories) and I'm just staring realllll hard at the fact that there are there interesting possible allusions to the movies/books, one of which being that Wendy goes onto (who is described as blonde and beautiful in the book- something that was changed by Kubrick for the movie) die when Danny is twenty from lung cancer.
