Everyone claims they're just picking something to watch, but the movie someone reaches for on Halloween night, a real slasher, a campy comedy, a childhood favorite, or the exact same film they've watched every year since they were twelve, tends to say a lot about what they want out of being scared, or not scared …
Halloween makeup gives everyone the same hour in front of a mirror, and what someone reaches for, fake blood, glitter, a cute character face, or barely anything at all, tends to say real things about how they want to be looked at that night.

Every gothic novel worth remembering has a handful of recurring characters, not the aesthetic exactly, the actual roles people play inside the story. Someone who watches quietly from the tower and misses nothing. Someone still grieving something the reader never gets fully explained. Someone who inspires everyone else's best work without needing credit for it. …
