yeah this person gets it 🫶
I also feel there’s something to be said about how this addiction to that feeling of fear from horror also leads to seeking out more & more extreme horror. the essay doesn’t discuss this so much but I think it’s a logical follow up in the discussion of fear & how we become accustomed to & immune to certain types of fear. it’s why I’m forever obsessively fascinated by the phenomena of things like Mckamey’s Manor. it’s why I’m constantly searching for lists of banned or controversial or especially grotesque or disturbing horror. once you’ve gotten accustomed to horror & you’re not scared anymore you need more
ooh ok this essay is really good. “horror had its hooks in me…fear. an awful feeling to be sure. but I wanted more.” everyone who’s ever been a disturbed small child obsessed with reliving, retelling, & examining your own grim nightmares to your parents vague & poorly hidden distress understands this addiction we form as kids to latching onto & fixating on the macabre

Could you do me a favor?
So I’m not someone who gets creeped out by slow building scary things or disturbing topics, but I’m easily startled and kinda sensory sensitive. Weird mix, I know. So I got through season 1 of Yellowjackets with no issues (and loved it). Stuff like Tai’s story or Doomcoming built slowly with few jump scares and most jump scares had some buildup. All fine.
So I started watching season 2 and pretty quickly realized that there were some more traditional jump scares: supernatural imagery, flashes, loud music, etc. Which is fine objectively but might be a problem for me. Lottie’s Laura Lee vision in episode 2 really got to me (like past the amount that I enjoy being scared by tv) and I’d love to keep watching but don’t know if I can if there are a ton more scenes like that. I’m sure you’re just laughing at me for being a lightweight but would you mind letting me know if there’s a ton of more scenes of that nature? Thanks.
(Please let me know if you did not want this posted)
I’m not laughing at you! I hope I don’t come off that mean, just ‘cause I joke about loving edgy horror - we all have stuff that gets to us. And I’m definitely the type to always jump at jump scares lol (although I’m almost the opposite. I can move on fast from jump scares but sometimes specific disturbing imagery sticks with me. different stuff freaks different people out!)
I’ll be honest I don’t *remember* other jump scares but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. I have the memory of a gold fish & even while I basically remember the important stuff of YJ I might forget specific scares. I also have binged it several times + rewatch random episodes occasionally so the order of events sometimes blends together & its hard for me to say if there’s still stuff coming based on where you’re at if that makes sense.
Do other YJ fans happen to remember any specific scares that are coming? Maybe leave them in the comments if you do?
Again please let me know if I overstepped by posting this publicly I just truly don’t remember & want to see if anyone else does!

every psychological supernatural horror movie ever is like: *woman going through the worst time of her life & experiencing the agonies while her husband subtly calls her crazy getting less & less subtle throughout the movie in his total lack of faith in his wife* *dashes of racism usually to native americans or romani people* *oh god don’t let anything happen to the cat* *this is why I’m glad I live in an apartment there’s too much room in that house for scary creatures to hide* *jumpscare turns out to be the wind / cat / husband* *2 seconds later the real scary part is shown*

ok I’m gonna watch “drag me to hell” it looks interesting. I sorta recall it being discussed when it came out but I haven’t heard much about it since? I’m more of a slasher girly I don’t dislike supernatural movies but they aren’t my go to. however the fact that it’s unrated intrigues me
