In this video we will be exploring cosmic horror through several movies, a TV show, two tales and a manga!
Is there a list of the media he talks about? I’ve been meaning to watch the lighthouse forever and he mentioned that he spoils everything in the video.
also Uzumaki and Hellstar Remina comics by Junji Ito
… and ofk. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness
I thought you were the video OP for a second.
A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it’s many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.
“cosmic horror… is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock… themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries… the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale…”
