Watching Dead City and Maggie just reminds me so much of Alice from Resident Evil and it's making my gay horror brain go feral

If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

The music is a remix of the song Mere Dholna from the Bollywood movie Bhool Bhulaiyya, a remake of the classic Malayalam horror-comedy Manichitrathazhu. It's about a young bride that seemingly becomes possessed of Manjulika, a dancer of the ancient royal court whose tragic death has turned her into a vengeful spirit, one who evokes the wrath of the goddess Durga Kali. In the iconic scene that is repeated across remakes, the groom and his family discover his bride dancing in the dead of night in a manic, disassociative fugue, wearing a moth-eaten dancer's costume and a face smeared in kohl, ash and vermilion. She's hallucinating that she's Manjulika dancing carefree for the court with her lover. The upbeat music is deliberately incongruous with the pathos and creepiness of the scene in reality, especially as it crescendos in the bride's head to the moment when the king decapitates Manjulika's beloved in a fit of jealous rage.

This specific number is by the all-male troupe B Unique, performed for the Indian reality talent contest Hunabaarz. It's a modern fusion based on Bharatnatyam that turns up the creep factor by 200% and is basically a showcase of contortionism and synchronicity. One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen. Truly incredible!

The group is still taking their work across the world's talent shows. And yes, that guy is hypermobile enough to do that with his neck. XD

I love how our beloved Carolyn Jones ("King Creole", 1958) is also a horror queen. Morticia Addams ♥

Carolyn Jones as Ronnie on "King Creole" (1958) x Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams on "The Addams Family" TV show (1964—1966). A truly gifted actress. Her feature and energy is completely different in each character.

In 1958 Jones was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Bachelor Party" (1957), unfortunately she didn't won this time, but only a year after ✨ she won a Golden Globe Award as New Star of the Year, ✨ sharing the honors with actresses Sandra Dee and Diane Varsi. Carolyn won this award as recognition for her role in the drama film "Marjorie Morningstar", in which she played the character Marsha Zelenko. The same year ✨she also won a Laurel Awards✨ for the same role. In 1963 she was nominated again for a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Star-Female for portraying quadruplets — one the murder victim and the others suspects — in the Burke's Law episode "Who Killed Sweet Betsy?" In 1964, Jones donned a long coal-black wig to play the splendorous, glamorous, fabulous yet ghoulish Morticia Addams in the television series "The Addams Family", a role which brought her a Golden Globe Award nomination and success as a comedian.✨

Fun fact: Carolyn inherited a chair from Morticia Addams. Here it is the actual picture where Carolyn appears as her famous Queen of Darkness character and the desk in Carolyn's bedroom, with the same chair in her home. About that, Carolyn said "The chair was a gift from 'Morticia' to me — love that girl!" — Excerpt from the book 'In Morticia's Shadow: The Life & Career of Carolyn Jones' by Peter Pylant (2012).

About other projects Jones was in the following years, she guest-starred on the 1960s TV series Batman, playing Marsha, the Queen of Diamonds, and in 1976 appeared as the title character's mother, Hippolyta, in the Wonder Woman TV series. But that's not even close to everything this woman did in her carreer. Carolyn Jones had a long successful and meaningful career, starting from 1952 until 1982.

Sadly, Carolyn was diagnoses with colon cancer in 1982 and died in 1983 at only 53 years old.

Rest in piece, dear Carolyn Sue Jones (April 28, 1930 – August 3, 1983). Never forgotten. ♥

Day 47– The Lightning Temple

That giant unearthed mausoleum is rife with treasure! And horrors. Mostly horrors.

History is a wheel that spins slightly different each round.

“2000s horror movies had to adapt rapidly in the new decade. by 2005, the horror genre was as popular as ever. horror films routinely topped the box office, yielding an above-average gross on below-average costs. it seems that audiences wanted a good, group scare as a form of escapism.”
