day 25 of horror mythology: akarisi

al karisi is a demon in turkish folkore whose name means “the scarlet woman,” or “the red wo man.” al karisi stalks women who have recently given birth to a child. many al demons will kidnap or otherwise harm infants, but al karisi is primarily interested in the new mothers. she watches and waits for the mother to fall asleep before entering the room and cutting out the woman’s liver. she has hypnotic powers which render her targets paralyzed when they meet her gaze. it is said that they can be fully conscious and aware of what’s happening but unable to move or to call out while the demon tears into them and takes their organs. when she strikes her victims, it doesn’t leave a bloody murder scene. there are no gashes, cuts, or even bruises upon her prey. it appears to the world that the woman suffered a sudden and mysterious death in her sleep.

Just a few gifs from a Turkish horror movie called Şeytan-ı Racim (2013).

Look how emotional he gets from being terrorized by the supernatural, poor thing. Let's give him a comfort hug.

coffee or tea?

Not a fan of either. Coffee tends to taste burnt, and tea's whole deal of try not to gag on the hot bad tasting water to get a nice aftertaste is so not it. I'm a chai girl, with occasional hot chocolate

Day 14 (part 2)-- Baskin-- 2015-- An insane movie that could easily be a Turkish companion piece to Hellraiser.

A group of police officers are called in as "back up" to an abandoned building that once functioned as an Ottoman era police station. Once there they find themselves in the clutches of a suffering and torture obsessed death-cult. Or is there more at play?

A psychedelic and surreal journey through a world of suffering, debasement and horror-- liberally painted with blood and shit.

Great acting, special effects and atmosphere. Great music, ideas and characters. Great movie.

Turkey - Türkiye 🇹🇷 🎥MUSKA (2014) dir. Özkan Çelik. The plot was much reminiscent of H.P.Lovecraft’s story The Dreams in the Witch house.

The film held well the tension and was exciting, perhaps too predictable.⭐️⭐️⭐️

🏺In areas like Turkey the historical layers of the culture are great. The fear of witches goes back to ancient Mesopotamia, the home of lilû & lilītu (Lilith). Black Magic seems to be the Thing in their horror genre. In Islamic cultures movies often have a spirit/demon that is called Jinn (Arabic: جن, jinn) – also romanized as djinn.

🔺Muska means talisman, amulet & charm. These triangular talismans protect its wearer against diseases, accidents or evil eyes. Etymology is in Arabic word “nüsha” and means “replica” or “copy”. “Hoca” is the spiritual leader who can make these MUSKA amulets. Inside is handwritten pray. The cover can be made of leather, silk or a precious metal.

The reason it has to be triangular: The first side represents hunger and thirst, the second represents diseases, and the third the evil eye. Thus, all bad things that could happen to someone bounce off the sides before they can reach the person. (Kapsız-Fekete/Tayla 2018.)

Jinn are not a strictly Islamic concept; they may represent several pagan beliefs integrated into Islam. There are many things to be informed of about jinn. In fact, it is not correct to use them only as an element of terror (Look more from “Evolution of Turkish horror: From Western symbols to jinn 2020”)

Jinns are beings with bodies in the form of energy. For this reason, they can move fast and take various forms. There are many things to be informed of about jinn. In fact, it is not correct to use them only as an element of terror. In Islamic culture, it is believed that they are not to be feared and that they cannot harm people unless people harm them. In fairytale Aladdin the Djinn fulfills his desires.

The reasons I picked up this movie from many Turkish films was that it was translated in English.

Among Muslim patients (in psychiatry) a common cultural concept of distress is the notion that jinn may be the cause of mental health problems, especially in the presence of hallucinations. (Lim 2018.)
