Horror and Maturity

We all enjoy horror only when we were young. Initially, the concept of horror involved with monsters, ghosts and so on. For example, I got shit scared on watching Freddy Krueger. Most frightening movie I watched in my childhood, that haunted me for days, was the movie – Bromstocker’s Dracula. It was always ghost and monsters that scared me in my younger days.

As I got old, like after 16+ years, it didn’t spook me. I was into young adult things at that time. The Vampires that I scared, on watching them suck the blood, were having romance. The werewolves that were gory to the core (In Van Helsing) were doing romance. It’s not I had watched similar movies in my childhood but when I watch it now, it didn’t scare as much as it did back then.

The concept of horror had changed from monsters to humans. The things that started haunting me were never monsters but human. For example, the serial killers, witches and so on…

This didn’t make me to dislike monsters, instead the horrifying effect I had on them got lessened. Also, monsters were used as a tool in action movies. That was so cool that made my liking towards monsters to a new level. The Underworld movie franchise was a great example which I watched recently.

But there was another change in my concept of horror. I started enjoying the quality of horror in any entertainment mode (be it TV Shows, movies or books). Last year, when I was waiting for my job, I had a month of holiday. On that period, I watched this amazing TV Show called The Haunting of the Hill House. It had all the horror elements. It didn’t scare me, but I loved to watch it.

I loved to experience the haunting visuals and music of that TV Show. Now I started loving horror shows instead of getting scared. If anyone argues with me about the logic loopholes in the horror movies, then the answer I would give them would be, ITS HORROR. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF LOGIC. AND THAT’S THE BEST PART OF IT.

I don’t believe in god and that proves that I don’t believe in ghosts. But I like the concept of it. The concept of God is a total shit without any creativity to it. But the concept of ghosts (even when it lacked the logic) were good to see. And only in the horror themed movies (or TV Shows or Books), I can able to understand the grey shades of human beings.

When I watched The Shining or the Hannibal series, I never got frightened, but I enjoyed watching the grey shades of the lead characters. That’s what I am talking about.

And these types of fantasy, mythology and human values made me to watch Supernatural!

25TH POST!!!! Beyond the Clouds (EOI #7)

Beyond the Clouds I couldn’t able to sleep that night. I ended up dozing off at around 3 AM. It was my mallu friend who woke me up. I don’t know why (actually, the question to be asked is IDK how), I developed a habit of not waking up to my alarm. I have tried changing all the tunes, but the sound of my phone’s alarm never reaches my ear. I woke up, I didn’t change anything. I have planned for this day in a perfect manner. All I did was - had a warm bath, drank a hot strong coffee with a samosa for breakfast. Packed my bags, left my keys in the PG and for one last time, with a heavy-hearted sigh, I left my PG for good. The Cab was waiting for me and within an hour, I reached the airport. I have never been to an airport before, but Bangalore airport was a massive one. I had no clue what to do there. The first thing I did was, I took my printed copy of boarding pass. After a long queue for checking the body temperature and my AADHAR card, I entered inside the airport.   ...

Ranking of Harry Potter Books

  The End This book is my second least favourite book of Harry Potter series (I’ll explain why Deathly Hallows didn’t become my worst HP book while I give the ranking of HP books). I expected Harry’s character to mature a bit after he fucked up because of his recklessness in the last book. But guess what, he was the same and it costed Albus Dumbledore’s life. Okay! That’s a cruel thing to say. But when I read the book, I wanted Dumbledore to live. (It all changed when I read the next book!) And he deserved more respect from Harry. I knew Dumbledore never trusted anyone and all that shit. But Harry should’ve trusted Dumbledore (even though Dumbledore blamed himself in this book. This is mutual respect motherfucker!) And the climax was another tragedy and this time, I didn’t like the tragedy. Mainly because how the final book was set up in the climax of the sixth book. I didn’t want the trio to wander away to find some weird deathly hallows. I wanted them to stay in Hogwart...

Dravidian Otaku's First Year Anniversary

  It’s been a year since I started writing my blog! February 1, 2020 I had completed reading the first book of Twilight book series. I had my Netflix subscription back then and watched a lot of movies and series in the month of January 2020. Since it’s the beginning of a new year, I wanted to record all the movies and series I would be watching. So, I created an excel sheet to record it. Then suddenly, I lost interest in recording it. This happens always to me. I would never stick to something for a long time ever before. But then I started reading Twilight and it did something to me. Watching a 2 hours movie is one thing but, reading a book for a week is another thing. It would transport you to a world you’d never experienced before. This may feel like exaggerating but, trust me, you have to feel it to know it. I wanted to say something about it. So, I created to a blog to review the movies or series I have watched and books that I would read. Initially I had help from B...
