Iä! Iä! Lovecraftian horrors

H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American author best known for his influential contributions to the genre of "weird fiction," especially cosmic horror. His work is characterized by a unique blend of science fiction, horror, and the supernatural, often exploring themes such as forbidden knowledge, humanity's insignificance in the universe, and the fragility of reason. Lovecraft created a mythos—a loosely connected universe populated by ancient, powerful beings such as Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Azathoth. This "Cthulhu mythos" became central to his legacy, and was later expanded upon by other writers. So, to the eternal question: what does this almost etherial term "Lovecraftian" actually mean? I think Wikipedia says it well: "Lovecraftian horror, also called cosmic horror or eldritch horror, is a subgenre of horror, fantasy, and weird fiction that emphasizes the terror of the unknown and incomprehensible more than gore or other shock elements....

32 Liminal horror movies

Let's begin with the beginning: what in the world is "liminal" - and "liminal horror"? The word liminal itself is defined quite differently by different sources, but the essence is as follows: - a state/position at or on both sides of a threshold/border - a transition between states or the initial phase of a process of change As far as I understand, Liminal horror points to both this and at the same time to what is called liminal spaces , which are: - areas and architecture that lead you from something to something else, and which are not intended as anything more/other. Corridors, underpasses, aqueducts, airports, queues, waiting rooms... 'Non - destinational places', as my husband called it when I tried to explain it. Apt term! 😍 - Emotionally, liminal spaces are, for example, grief and growing up - Psychologically and socially, it's is 'nothing' between different feelings or states: the state of post partum and detox are two examp...

15 years of Academy headers!

A good header is a great thing ! Since 2011, the Horror Rookie Academy has focused quite a bit on page headers. The header constitutes the graphic profile of the Academy. It is what first meets the eye, what gives the first impression, and it sets the tone. Design- wise, we have kept the headers simple and symmetric -and a bit classy. We present to you: 15 years of Academy headers! (Laget av skrekkrutt Sørbø.) (Artwork: Kim Holm)

Fresh out of surgery? These movies are for you!

Quite a few of us have to go under the knife at one time or another to be slashed by skilled wage earners. Expert slashing. The Horror Rookie Academy originates and resides in Norway, where we have a free health care system and a sick leave system in the workplace that allows for actually being sick when you are sick. Or: in convalescence, which is what this post revolves around. (photo: Body Parts (1987) The other day, a question popped in from a surgically modified rookie who was lying flat in recovery asking for movie recommendations. Rookies! I'm at home on the couch after recovering from shoulder surgery; 16 years in the same profession f*cked the dang shoulder up. I'm considering watching the entire Saw-franchise again to relieve inner angst and somatic discomfort, but I am more than open for suggestions. I really love body horror! A bunch of rookies got exited by this questions and dove into their sick (but beautiful) minds to compile this wee list ...

Dental Horror!

Teeth are hard, calcified structures in the mouth that are essential for breaking down food through chewing, forming words for speech, and maintaining overall oral health. They are also dreadful sources of pain, an object for torture and things that can get smashed out of your skull in a bloody instant. One starry friday night, a night of icy gusts of wind and of gerenal unrest in the populus, the Rookies at the Horror Rookie Academy decided to dive into the topic of dental horror: the portrayal of teeth in horror films. We decided to limit the topic to mainly human teeth, but since the sphere of horror is a transcendant and messy one, we of course welcomed other types of teeth in horror as well. Tusks, for example. Or simply messed up tooth-related stuff. The films listed below either centers around the topic of teeth or has predominant scenes portraying teeth in them. It is a creepy collection of films, this. Films that make your molars ice and throb just by th...

Masks in horror!

Masks are widely seen in horror films. But of course. Hidden identities and a visage without any visible emotions are the stuff nightmares are made of. Or masks made of the skin of a human head... Eeew! Leatherface, Jason Vorhees, Ghostface and Michael Myers were pioneers in the mask game. Those iconic roles have since been followed by a wide array of masked killers in horror. Increasingly cheezy, some might feel -myserlf being among them. The home invasion subgenre has in particular taken masks to its heart. The rookies at The Horror Rookie Academy recently endulged themselves in a Mask Saturday, shining a powerful mental light on masks in horror. Below is the list of 28 movie recommendations that followed. Enjoy!

Alien Space Bats: når ting skeier ut

Da var det andre time og vi fortsetter med litt Begrepslære... Denne timen tar vi for oss ALIEN SPACE BATS. Termen ble coina av Alison Brooks på en nettside ( soc.history-what.if) i 1999, men konseptet har vært brukt og kjent en stund, og siden -99 har Alien Space Bats blitt brukt og referert til ofte i sci-fi og fantasy. Opprinnelig ble det brukt som en sarkastisk kritikk av Alternativ Historie fortellinger hvor plottet kommer ut av en temmelig usannsynlig vending som er litt vel... out there... "This shit just went into ASB country...." Begrepet brukes ofte også av konspirasjonshuer og Alienister generelt, men stammer fra film og litteratur. ASB er gjerne motsetningen til Deus Ex Machina som gjerne er samme device, men som kommer helt mot slutten av en historie, iforhold til ASB som ofte blir innført rimelig tidlig for å sparke igang et plot. Det finnes et par små "regler" for å kjenne igjen et ASB grep...men de er ingen fasit som sådan, og ASB ...

Hillbilly vs outback horror!

Hillbilly Horror is an American subgenre, often rooted in the concept of Southern Gothic , where a group of "civilized" outsiders (often young people from the city) venture into remote, rural areas—typically the Deep South, Appalachia, or the Southwest—and encounter a family or group of violent, often inbred, degenerate locals. Key Conventions of hillbilly horror are: Setting: Remote, isolated locations like deep woods, decaying farmhouses, abandoned roads, and dilapidated small towns, usually suggesting an area "forgotten" by modern society. The Villains: The antagonists are typically a family unit , often characterized by inbreeding, physical deformities, cannibalism, and extreme violence. They represent an unhinged, "monstrous" version of the rural poor. The Conflict: It's fundamentally a Clash of Cultures —city dwellers vs. country folk. The horror stems from the characters being stripped of their modern conveniences (like cell service or relia...

Satan, demons and Hell itself in horror movies

There is a Hell of a lot of horror films revolving around the topics of Satan, demons and Hell itself. Of course. Who is not creeped out by the thought of getting caught in Satan's claws to spend eternity in some kind of Hell? Or having a demon protrude from -or envelop- one's brittle human form? Many of these movies are more or less classic paranormal films, like the Conjuring - franchise, while other, like Devil and Gehenna, take a less traditional approach to the topic. Not to mention Jeruzalem. Or Drag me to Hell. The Rookies have put their hellish minds together to conjure up dozens of tips for horror films where Satan, demons and Hell itself plays the main role. For your viewing convenience.
