The Horror, the Horror

I wrote this up originally at the end of September. I couldn’t face trying to work on it, just no inspiration to finish it and explain. And now, we face true horror. What could be scarier than what is ahead of us?

So, here it is incomplete and left as it is. I need to rethink what I am doing with this site and everything else.

As it nears October and everyone else’s Halloween has been in full swing since the beginning of the month and stores roll out Christmas, because September hasn’t even ended yet.
I was watching a video about the weird fandom of Garfield, while eating my breakfast and waiting to go into work for the day. Our power has been out for two days and my routine is way off.

I haven’t made it far into the video as I begin to write this, the idea is in my head and September is getting away from me. I have almost made a post a month. Far from my post a day or post a week I set for myself at the beginning of the year. The Garfield video was about the grotesque turn that his fandom has taken him to and it inspired me to want to write this. A lot of people on Blusky talk about their horror joys and I have a few accounts I follow that tap into what makes me happy with regard to horror.
I am not a fan of haunted houses. Mostly because I don’t seem to jump scare easy or maybe the others with me are just too easy of marks. Also, they aren’t inspired in a horrorific way to me. I find haunted houses, at least the two or theee I’ve actually been to silly, which to an extent they are. My autism probably affects my ability to properly suspend my disbelief and take pleasure.

I want something more tangible or intangible perhaps, more plausible even if it’s implausible. I want eldritch and subtle horror.

Which is where it’s maybe funny that I like the eldritch Garfield fan art.

I really would like to do one of the haunted prisons or hospitals, such as the one down in Louisville. That is haunted house stuff I can get behind. I’ve lived in and stayed in places where weird shit happened. I’ve seen and felt things that were spooky and not easily explained by pure reason and science.
I think I am getting off course of what I wanted to speak to. So maybe ill actually edit and revise this later.
