Weekend watchlist 🔮👆👆
for #MonthOfTheMacabre week three coming up!
The films above aren’t just horror — they’re warnings.
Watch with me if you like your chills poetic, your science real, and your denial fatal.
#SickFlicks #TheRaven #InfectiousDose
🎞️ Vertigo (1958) — obsession that spirals into madness.
👻 The Others (2001) — denial so deep it becomes the afterlife.
Each mirrors Poe’s truth: grief, fixation, and the horror of what we refuse to see.

🦠 The Fly (1986) — science denied becomes flesh undone.
Hubris, infection, transformation — a slow horror you can’t reason away.

A dark gothic image of a raven perched on a glowing smart-home orb against a cracked black background. The text reads: “The Raven, reimagined for the age of science denial."

This week’s #SickFlick lineup: obsession, decay, and the long fall into madness 👇

Can't live on US trauma alone.
It's time for a #PathogenPoll!
If fear is infectious, what's its R₀?
(R₀ = how many one “infected” person infects.)
🧍♂️ One R₀ < 1
🧑🤝🧑 Whole village R₀ ≈ 3–5
🌍 Global R₀ ≈ 10+
🕯️ Infinite R₀ = ∞

#InfectiousDose #MonthOfTheMacabre
The world’s too scary to watch the news, so tonight I’m watching The Witch instead.
At least these horrors come with a soundtrack.
Next up on #Infectiousdose: the bread's gone bad, the woods are whispering, and the witches are waiting.

🕵️♀️Tonight’s murder mystery episode drops at midnight — popcorn’s popping and I’m settling in to watch The Bay.
Watched The Andromeda Strain earlier this week and LOVED it. Excellent book adaptation.
