i think my favourite horror trope is what i like to call "it gets better before it gets worse". the evil is seemingly defeated. the worst is apparently over. it was tough, and maybe you didn't all make it out in one piece, but you made it. except that you didn't. you're still infected, still marked. you bring the horror with you wherever you go. and there's no timeframe after which you can say you're safe with any certainty. it might lie dormant for years, just waiting for you to turn your back to it long enough to let it find you again. it knows your scent, now. it can hunt you down wherever you go.

vampirism poses the question "what if there was a fundamental, horrible, unending well of want in your soul that, if truly satisfied, would lead to great pain for all those you hold closest and, in turn, their absolute and total revilement of you?" and naturally as a person with no problems I don't relate to this in any way at all.

pushing daisies really was a modern retelling of orpheus and eurydice in which they knew they wouldnt make it out of the underworld so instead they simply built a life together on the stairs

Bold of the Alias writers to have Sydney get bitten in the neck by someone who's sick then later buried alive in a coffin and NOT have her turn into a vampire tbh

there's a bit of a trend around the idea, i think, that only virtuous people are allowed to be traumatized, or that trauma itself is a virtue signifier, i guess, and it sort of aligns with the other trite refrain of 'trauma doesn't excuse bad behaviour' to the point of denying trauma exists in the first place, etc etc, but the most evil rotten person could have suffered the most horrific trauma and that's just how it is, 'being traumatized' as a sort of category is relatively morally neutral tbh
