Isolasjon i horror og sci-fi

Skrekkruttskolens Isolation Week(end) satt i grunnen som ei kule! Det som begynte som en temahelg med fokus på isolerte steder og isolerte mennesker utartet til å bli et ukeslangt dypdykk i isolasjon innen horror, scifi og absurd film.

Yūrei: pray you never encounter one!

Dear reader: a violent storm is approaching Scandinavia. Red alerts of all sorts have been issued, and the populus is busy removing loose objects, filling up their water tanks and checking if they have enough batteries to last. Later tonight, when all Hell breaks loose , they will huddle together, step away from the windows, brace themselves and excert a nordic form of calm born through experience with hellish weather. But i digress. Now, let me take this occasion, to tell you about the nightgown - wearing ghost. Her face is covered by her long black hair. She is the one that comes crawling down the stairs and out of closets in you nightmares. The ghost that make this throat gurgling "moaaaaaaaaaaaaa" - sound that makes your skin crawl. The one that that comes crawling towards you, behind you, in the darkness to pull you... away. Away from this world. Let me tell you about yūrei! I will do so by telling you about one of the world's most well known and dreaded yūrei: Kay...

Queer roles in horror

At the Horror Rookie Academy , a very interesting exchange of opinions emerged in the spring of 2022 on the topic of queer roles in horror . In the following, I will explain why I think it is both okay and important to lift queer roles in horror films. The text represents the author's opinion. In the wake of a really interesting analysis done by Dread Central (a must-read!), it was suggested that queer roles may take the focus away from the horror in horror films. This got me thinking. Thinking real good. Could it be that queer roles, roles protraying people like me, among the majority may be perceived as unnecessary to the plot in horror films? As something forced? Queer people are very used to seeing a different type of love than our own being central to the films we watch. One of the things that makes me love films in general, and horror in particular, is that you get to enter situations where you are sort of exempt from constantly having to connect your own situat...

Escapism in horror, sci-fi and absurd film

Quite a reality we live in, huh? 🥴 It's kinda messed up. Kamikaze-trained harp seals with GoPros on their heads swim around our oceans while geopolitical toxic masculinity literally spills out across all continents. On top of it all: AI. There seems to be no end to it all. That's why the Horror Rookie Academy offered a whole week of escapism in early February 2025. ...but what exactly is escapism in horror, sci-fi and absurdist film? It's not a genre, is it? We introduced the topic like this: - SUBJECTIVE: For some, _all_ films can actually be an escape from reality. Here we are looking for tips on which films/series (horror/sci-fi/absurd) are an escape from reality for you. There are no right or wrong answers here. 😁 - HUMOR: Humor strikes me like a joker in this game. For example, I laughed my way through The Human Centipede; for me it was a very unrealistic comedy - and then I know that my mother would perceive the film a little differently. (I accidentally saw David...

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)

Love hurts! Horror films about love

Love is multifaceted. Sometimes it spins out of control, and it gets ugly. Really ugly. 'The things you do for love' are not just roses and cuddling. Sometimes they include psychological terror, violence, panic and death. The Horror Rookie Academy has made a wee list of horror films where love is key.

Scary movies for kids!

When I was a kid, i loooved horror movies. Not horror movies for kids, no no no: the hardcore stuff. Movies children ought not watch. Movies that made me run up stairs like I was being chased by the Devil himself. I sometimes still do. And I'm 49 now. You see, my dad worked as a captain on ships that sailed in international waters when I was a kid. Norway has their own international church for sailors and other Norwegians residing abroad, The Norwegian Sailor's Church. These guys among many services supplied norwegian ships with books and films. Every ship had a little library trolley full of books and VHS's. At the same time, the HSE factor was quite low: sailors were allowed to bring their kids aboard their ships for summer holiday. I often spent 4-6 weeks aboard my dad's ships -and boy did I get all up in those movie trolleys! At night, when no one else was around, I brought my bag of foreign exotic candy, snuck into the galley, stole some treats from the pantry, p...
