Exactly. Fears equal horror. You can’t have horror without fears. I’m just pointing out what @Legacy said about stuff not being horror is not 100% true.
And Get Out was horror to some.

Except, it is true. Everything I listed *isn't* horror. Objectively. They are things that, independently, do nothing to invoke fear.
The context that individuals assign to those items changes individual perception - and that context can be created through personal knowledge, experience, or just irrational fear. In that way, anything can become horror. With some imagination.
Then it goes back to my initial post about not being on level playing fields. Fears can amplify horror, but they are not equal. Like I said, a basic porcelain doll can elicit fears out of someone with a Fear of Dolls - but that won't make a scary house; or in an extreme example - we're not going to find a peanut butter haunt due to someone's fear of it.

I'm a weirdo, but I'm exciting for Vikings. I love me some vikings and I know someone carrying around a battle ax could scare me. People who are tall and have big muscles are more likely to scare me than a thin zombie. That's my own personal experience, so I'm very much looking forward to these vikings.

I'm just thrilled to see them doing something different in that area! Plus unlike Bayou of Blood, this won't offend people.

Oooooo a fenrir puppet head in the background away from drunk guests would be great.
Kind of a problematic "white savior" film, but the Vikings in Pathfinder were fairly frightening.
Come on, you hated Blumhouse last year and said it wasn’t scary and you were disappointed with it. Completely agree with you on it though.
As for the Vikings scarezone, I feel really sorry for the scareactors working it having to (presumably) wear heavy costumes/armour, and wigs, and maybe even fake long beards. The Florida climate is gonna work great with all of that!

Forty-five on/forty-five off.
Ironically, this conversation feels really full circle with some info I've been planning to spill. I'm just looking for the time to write it all up.

Change of Subject for a minute.
With the new Ghostbusters video game remaster it seems like Sony is all in to promote the franchise on anniversary year, even more reasons to believe the IP coming this year.

My understanding is Sony is looking to milk the 35th Anniversary as much as they can do look forward to other deals coming to light soon!

It just lines up perfectly, they announce the ticket pricing alongside the second headline IP.

Happy death day was.... ok. Blum house makes great movies. I think we need a house that’s not the purge and that’s dedicated to one film. A Annabel house would be cool. Or maybe creative needs to think about a dark crystal type house. Ex: evil talking puppets. That would be terrifying. Have the puppets on a speaker and scareactor on a mic and operating the puppets. Custom scares every run through.
