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.   ...

Boy-Girl Group makes me sick!

Boy-Girl Group makes me sick! Talking to girls is one thing but grouping with girls is another thing. I hate grouping with girls. I have experienced a lot before and whenever this happens – Its cringey – EVERYTIME!!! I even tried to be a part of this boys’ and girls’ gang. The first time was in the second semester of our college. It was a group of boys’ and girls’ where the boys protect the girls.  They are the FIREWALLS and I was a FIREWALL on those days. But being a firewall means you must call the girls in that gang as sisters. I can’t call a girl sister when I am dreaming wet dreams about her.  Ahnn??!?!?!?!  Well I am not sure if that’s a bad behavior or a good behavior. Is it misogynistic? Or is it being human? But I am sure it’s ME! Its how I am inside. It’ll never go away. I’ll never call a girl of my age as sister. Basically, I am a horny guy and I came to the realization that it’s not my kind of place. So, I resigned myself from the FIREWALL.   **E...

Ohm Namashivaaya to you-all raa fuckers!!!

  It was very difficult for me to climb the first hill with my full stomach. I have never sat to take rest when I climbed the first hill back in 2019 but, this time around, I last count on how many times I had sat down to take a bit of rest. I even felt a sudden urge to quit this and go down. But my friends waited with me till I reached the first hill. And believe me, after reaching the first hill, my stomach didn’t upset me anymore. Instead, all the proteins I ate just gave me my stamina. This time It took me one hour to complete the first hill (may be more; I forgot) but, its certainly much slower than my last time. You know what! I am not going to compare my 2-years-back-self to my current-self. It’s just so frustrating. 2 Years Ago It was not till the end of 3 rd hill; I start to feel my legs shaking. Till the third hill, there would be steps arranged in a neat manner so that we can climb easily. But after that, the steps would be would start becoming irregular heaps o...
