Apologies if this isn't your focus currently, but I found your Horror-Films-as-TMA-Entities list and I'm so curious as to why you've put Carrie in the Corruption? I would've aligned it as Desolation personally but I'd love to hear your thoughts!
OMG IM SO GLAD THAT YOU ASKED THIS!!
So my thought was she is shy, or whatever, you know? She's a normal highschooler, bullied, yeah but everyone has been bullied before. She's just a normal person, and the way I see it, is when she gets her powers, going and killing people with them, getting revenge or whatever, to me that was the corruption.
For me the corruption isn't just the physical decay, to me it's also moral decay, the degregation and corruption of what makes us who we are as people. So the way I saw it was that when she started killing, it was the moral corruption of her character.
The Desolation would also fit, ngl. It was a hard toss up between that and the corruption, and some of the films in the list would overlap into different categories, I just had to shove them into what I thought fit better lol.
Hope this explains things!! And thanks for the ask!!
