10 Folk Horror Movies To Consider For October/Halloween

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

Do you think that Thou-Shalt-Not-Committ-Adultery Pulsifer was based off of Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins?

Hiya! :) In the book? Yes - like, him and Shadwell and the witchfinder army :). He is even mentioned in the book. Matthew Hopkins (real history character) claimed to have the Witchfinder General title tho Parliament never gave it to him, from that I think Terry and Neil did the who "Witchfinder Sergeant" and others hierarchy titles in their witchfinder army, also Hopkins was looking for extra nipples.

In the show they certainly used Hopkins' appearance when creating the Thou-Shalt-Not-Committ-Adultery Pulsifer :).

Also fun fact, when Crowley meets Shadwell, we see on the telly Shadwell's favourite movie - the Witchfinder General from 1968 where Vincent price plays the character of Matthew Hopkins :).

One thing I loved about Witchfinders is it’s the first and really ONLY time that the Doctors gender works against her.

Yeah the bad guys got a LOT more closer to her than they would have if she was a man, and there were a few ‘the Doctors a man, you can’t be them’ but it was never explicit.

Here’s the first time she understands ‘hey it’s not just a fun set decoration, there’s actual real life consequences to being a woman.’

Like here’s she’s genuinely shocked that James would threaten her not bc he’s a bad guy and she’s the Doctor, but solely bc she’s a woman, something that she never had to deal with before

And then here’s the first time she gets told she’s not in charge, she’s less intelligent, she’s less than, she’s degraded by being called ‘wee lassie’ when she’s the oldest, smartest and most experienced person in the room, and she’s being told she can’t be a leader bc she’s a woman and she has to pretend the least competent companion is in charge of her (after she just risked her life to save someone) and she is absolutely stunned and PISSED, like it never crossed her mind before she would have to deal with that.

Like I love this episode bc of that so much, and no I didn’t want every other episode hounding it into us that for a large vast amount of history women were seen as less than, but one episode in 3 seasons could have been expanded a bit.

horror sub-genres • daylight horror

daylight horror is simple. take any traditional horror scenario and set it outside in the middle of the day. the sun provides a false sense of security that horror stories can exploit and turn on its head.

Does anyone have any theories about the surgeon Mr. Dalrymple (S2) in connection to the Witchfinder Dalrymple mentioned in Season 1? I’m really curious. Surely Crowley and Aziraphale must’ve noticed if the name came up.
