I hate that I struggle with explaining why I dislike the Netflix version so much and I’m scared of misusing the word “abuse” but what I hate more is that in trying to find if anyone else thought Nell from the book was gay and in love with her new “friend” Theo (and many do woohoo) I saw a buzzfeed article explain it so well and in such a short way why the tv series rubbed me the wrong way. I think I’ve seen it explained more deeply before but this is in much more easier to explain terms

Being into gothic horror is wild, because you’ll look up the reviews/public opinion on a book and all the posts will be like “ugh, this was insufferable. The main character was the most melodramatic whiny narcissist cunt who’s perspective I’ve ever had the displeasure of following. When the main character wasn’t whining, it was just pages and pages of the most useless boring shit describing stupid landscapes over and over again. Boring and insufferable to read.”

And then you’ll get the book and read it and it’ll be like “Hi, I’m gothic protagonist. My entire family got brutally murdered by an unknown person and I also got horrifically abused as a child and struggle with severe mental illness, and now there’s unholy paranormal forces at work all against me, but at least I have the love of my life and my closest friends who I’d kill and die for and they’d do the same for me. Even though I’m cripplingly psychologically unwell and severely burdened with the mass of terrible things in my past, I’m going to figure out and track down the thing that killed my family and seek to destroy it, whilst poetically mirroring my suffering with the most beautiful and profound descriptions of the nature around me that you’ve ever read, contrasting the horror of nature with the beauty and goodness of it and giving you an existential crisis. This book is going to make you so ridiculously attached to these characters and change your whole perception of the life you lead.”

As much as I enjoy mike flanagan’s adaptation of Hill House nothing in it really hit as hard as the novel for me. Remember how all Eleanor wanted was to be loved and cherished after a lifetime of labor for a mother with no love to give and the only thing that offered it to her was the grasping darkness of Hill House. Remember how all her life she had been waiting for Hill House and all her time in death will be spent there with the corpses of the other trapped women who fell victim to it.

important entries in the "closeted horror" genre:

  • I Saw The TV Glow (movie)
  • The Picture of Dorian Gray (book)
  • The Haunting of Hill House (book)
  • The Exorcist (book)
  • The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (book)
  • A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (movie sequel)

^ even for the unintentional ones, there was lot of coding that was apt for the period it was made and will make you chew the walls thinking about it
