First, of course, choose a chair. You may already have a favourite but choose something that will be comfortable for the length of time you typically read for, say 1-2 hours. Otherwise, if it’s just for 15 mins - four fucking legs and a seat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/d2929c03-030e-4b3c-8f63-a877dacf87ce/music-g2a1adba58_1280.jpg Blog - Reading Material for Your Ears - And finally, we never leave our mannequin army empty handed.

You know, the one that people thought was futuristic but has not aged well. Now, Jonathan loves him some rollerball, and his signature pregame routine is thumping his fist against his leg in time with the narcolepsy-inducing organ music. And this brings me to mention that the only cool thing about any of their uniforms are the studded leather gloves they all wear. The rest of the uniform looks like your typical 70s football gear, except the spikes. Even the helmets have spikes, which makes little sense if you think about it. LET THERE BE SPIKES. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/c0c59c65-773d-4b94-9f32-01b6f0101cd3/MV5BMWQ2YzZhOWItMjFkNy00MjAwLTg4MmUtYjI4MzI4YjVjOWY1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjUyNDk2ODc_._V1_SX1777_CR0_0_1777_937_AL_.jpg Blog - The Memory Hole Cinematic Crusades - Rollerball (1975) - By the end of this movie, you’ll have seen players get the shit beat out of them, murdered, run over by motorcycles and set on fire. One notable moment has an opposing player attempt to kick Jonathan, he catches their leg and drags them over to the ball chute. The ball fires directly at their head, killing them instantly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/47784019-4000-4166-87ea-bafeeaa7ecd1/rollerball.jpg Blog - The Memory Hole Cinematic Crusades - Rollerball (1975) - James Caan That’s right, he was killing it long before he was killing Annie Wilkes. https://www.terrortalkpodcast.com/blog/cinemas-use-of-queer-themes-in-the-horror-and-the-existential-threat-to-humankind monthly 0.5 2022-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/aed3a449-178c-44f7-a580-fa475af83dd2/witch-gb2d9f4fc7_1920.jpg Blog - Cinema’s use of Queer Themes Horror In films such as The Craft and Scream, the directors flirt with homosexual undertones. Sexuality in all 80’s slashers as something to repress and be ashamed of, especially if it goes against societal norms. The Witch coven in The Craft is a metaphor for the evil outsider; the all-powerful woman who in the dark ages was accused of being a witch due to her nonconformity, feminism, and autonomy. Somerton (1997) goes on to discuss how power of this kind must equate with evil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/c09f3d5c-39f0-450e-937f-fed0dc525af3/woman-gbffe6b414_1920.jpg Blog - Cinema’s use of Queer Themes Horror Over the course of four and a half decades, films such as Dracula, Carrie, Nightmare on Elm Street, Fright Night, Alien, Hellraiser, The Craft, It Follows, Scream, Jennifer’s Body and many more have demonstrated the consequences of non-conformity, social exclusion, androgyny, and transgender identities resulting in the search for chosen families and revenge fantasies. Personally, as a queer, cis woman, most LGBTQ individuals live their lives in an emotional revenge fantasy, wondering when the world will finally suffer from the defamation, ridicule, and torment of the lives of many who have either remained closeted, silenced, or killed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/5268383a-f11d-4df6-b33f-21599ef0300e/barcelona-g9b67955e4_1280.jpg Blog - Cinema’s use of Queer Themes Horror - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.terrortalkpodcast.com/blog/blackbellyofthetarantula monthly 0.5 2022-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/c5453ece-f302-466d-b379-1572b4acaaee/images.jpg Blog - The Memory Hole Cinematic Crusades: Black Belly of the Tarantula - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/2d5921df-55db-4794-b8aa-c8e349e25049/MV5BY2I2ODFjZGUtOTM1ZC00YjZkLThmNjItMDBhY2NjMzMxZDY4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTIyNzY1NzM%40._V1_UY1200_CR111%2C0%2C630%2C1200_AL_.jpg Blog - The Memory Hole Cinematic Crusades: Black Belly of the Tarantula - Fuck this movie. Fuck this movie for being incredibly convoluted. This is the kind of movie that carefully lays a series of potential killers at your feet and then the killer ends up being a random piece of shit that was unrelated to anything except that he was a jealous incel. But mostly, fuck this movie for screwing us all on the mannequin count. I’m deducting an entire 1 mannequin from the score for not even making mannequins the primary focus of the movie and giving me false hope that a mannequin was the killer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/824731ef-9aa0-403f-87f2-aea1b9a6aaf3/0f80766f70ef25c5973138680a1fbb65.jpg Blog - The Memory Hole Cinematic Crusades: Black Belly of the Tarantula - Maybe the killer is a fucking mannequin? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/bb120b52-7229-414e-947a-e1e5a35ce40d/91H3l1GvU3L._SL1500_.jpg Blog - The Memory Hole Cinematic Crusades: Black Belly of the Tarantula - The film is not without its charms. There is an hilarious (to me) scene where a guy falls to his death from a rooftop. It’s clearly a dummy and the overdubbed scream is completely over the top. I may or may not have watched this scene several times. https://www.terrortalkpodcast.com/blog/dd3an2w88uycvlpnmjpu3e2cgsy0je monthly 0.5 2022-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/4fd5e0f8-2fa1-41fd-9308-33321e4b29ec/sadness-g3c0cffd0a_1280.jpg Blog - Why do you hate me so much? Parental Narcissism - “You look so pretty, today. Are you using the brush I bought you?” Although two seemingly opposing messages, these questions are the work of a narcissistic parent in the early stages of traumatic bonding with their child. A narcissistic parent keeps their child in a constant state of emotional chaos, fluctuating between conditional love and rejection. The child will never know where they stand with this parent, constantly seeking validation yet concurrently fearing them. This interaction creates a disorganized attachment style which slowly develops into complex stress over a lifetime. The individual will spend most of their life scanning the environment for “threats” and “emergencies.” At the compromise of healthy self-development, the adult child of a narcissistic parent sees their own needs as shameful and selfish. If recognition is the central component to love, the child of a narcissistic parent is simply unloved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/bf460867-c2a4-40a0-ade1-c12e26c7bd1c/small-child-g4190e6fce_1280.jpg Blog - Why do you hate me so much? Parental Narcissism - When a child begins to develop and starts to socialize outside of the home, healthy assessment of trust and safety is bypassed by a hyper-activated nervous system. What this means is that the brain begins to scan the environment for patterns similar to the memories associated with the abuse. The child loses resilience and responds to stimuli which are not inherently dangerous, (Vanderkolk, Ogden, and Siegel, The Neurobiology of Trauma). Simply put, the child is hyperaware, anxious, or avoidant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/77966c01-b023-45c6-b915-6566761c571a/9780415510257-us.jpg Blog - Why do you hate me so much? Parental Narcissism - Ownership of their own shame is the narcissist’s Achille’s heel. To the unfortunate child of a narcissistic parent, the shame becomes the child’s burden. The relationship between parent and child is a “system of subjugation,” (Daniel Shaw, Traumatic Narcissism), where the parent objectifies the child and the child’s move towards autonomy is met with the parent’s resistance, anger, humiliation, and resentment. This form of deprivation is how the adult child of a narcissist learns to see the world, and at times, the way they respond in interpersonal relationships. Shame from the narcissistic parent immobilizes the child and is often the root of a disorganized attachment pattern. https://www.terrortalkpodcast.com/blog/season-4-episode-24-college-admissions-scandal monthly 0.5 2022-05-16 https://www.terrortalkpodcast.com/blog/spasmo monthly 0.5 2022-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/a44b668f-6ded-4c49-9cc4-75cf300de7ea/Spasmo+74.jpg Blog - The Memory Hole Cinematic Crusades: Spasmo Let’s be real. Both brothers are pieces of shit. During the course of this movie, Christian jokes about raping one woman and then does rape another. Oh and he also does this little thing called murder to something like half a dozen women which we don’t find out until the very end that he’s been doing this the whole time unbeknownst to himself. Fritz is a piece of shit for other reasons, but the most grievous offence is that he’s a god damned mannequin stabber. One of the moronic plot points is that Christian’s supposed to think he killed BBB. But why the fuck do we need to trick him into thinking this, when he’s been straight up killing women (and his own father) this whole time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/752875df-0140-4f3c-bbb9-3966a6a3b54c/entete.jpg Blog - The Memory Hole Cinematic Crusades: Spasmo - Make it stand out Available for Rent on Amazon in the UK or to Buy on Blu Ray or DVD https://www.terrortalkpodcast.com/blog/pvbdot536gxw3jwxn912dhanmg1ikt monthly 0.5 2022-05-16 https://www.terrortalkpodcast.com/blog/thekillerofdolls monthly 0.5 2022-03-20 https://www.terrortalkpodcast.com/blog/japanesering monthly 0.5 2022-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1396c65e8fb4756df437e6/1611721922825-YQLAO0CZVKQRTUXT86MH/Suushi_Yurei.jpg Blog - Ring (1998) - Through a couple centuries of art work the yurei has taken on a uniform of sorts: white clothing due to that being traditional funeral attire for the dead, long black hair as women wore their hair down for burial, lifeless dangling hands and sometimes a lack of feet or you never see the feet, and often depicted with twin floating ghostly flames beside them.
