Cursed film and videos. Specifically videos that are cursed, or are involved with paranormal or supernatural occurrences.

More subliminal than cursed/occult film, but

Flicker by Theodore Roszak

might warrant a read

Jesus The Terror sure is long, hope I can get through this beefy boy before the end of the year

Great timing, I just finished this and wanted to ask: should I read Hyperion if I what I didn't like about The Terror was those chapters where characters lore dump in incredibly awkward conversations, instead of just recalling them internally (e.g. let me tell you all about Darwin and my other friend Charles Babbage and his mechanical calculating device)? I don't know how much of that exists in his other books.

As for the ending, I liked it - and it sure beats the TV one (and tbf the TV show is lesser in almost all regards)

I disliked NALM for the plot summary reasons listed (after hearing so much acclaim), sad men ruining their own lives isn't all that scary, but maybe that's because I can get that at home

Much later on I read Wounds and loved it, and was very surprised I was to find it was the same author. Here's hoping he worked out whatever NALM was borne from

I think the only major flaw it has is that it's an act too short
