🌺🩸 Thread: 2/2 I can't help but think that the gruesome finale of the wonderfully awful Island of the Doomed, which was featured on Elvira's Movie Macabre, inspired the scene in Sleepy Hollow where Johnny Depp chops the Tree of the Dead and blood spurts from the trunk.

🌺🩸 Unholy botanical bloodsuckers! Island of the Doomed a.k.a. The Maneater of Hydra (1967) just got released on Blu Ray! I had nightmares after I saw it on TV as a kid. I've never looked at Hibiscus flowers the same way again! Thread: 1/2

@Mae_Westside @HWA_NYS @amy_grech @SweetColleen @horror_reads @rebecca_linam @DracSoc Fantastic analysis of Transylvania as a liminal space! I hadn't considered this, or noticed the ambiguous map as a warning. The landscape passage also echoes the sublime in Romanticism that you see in Byron and Mary Shelley's work with the oppressive awe that nature evokes.

@aleX_irreversib Karen is insanely brave. I'd be transfixed with awe and horror by Eddie's werewolf transformation, making it unlikely that I'd live to tell the tail, er, tale. 😄
