Why are old ladies the new horror trope?
>twitter screencap threadYou're basically as bad as an indian.
Suffragettes are horror incarnated
>>214694212Well, is the old woman doing something horrific?
>>214694230>Literally CANNOT stop thinking about Indians
Used to clean out recently deceased elderly women's homes.They are genuine fucking animals, less than human.
>>214694212the most horrifying thing a zoomer can imagine is getting old.
>>214694212horror is about taking something thats comforting and making it uncomfortable or dangerous. little old ladies are seen as harmless samaritans, making them evil is supposed to be a subversion.
AAAAHHHHH IM GOING INSANE
>grandma starts breakdancing
Fun fact back in the olden times old woman who had no families had nothing to offer to the coummnity and were often on the fringes of society, thus this is how Witches were created
>>214694302>horror is about taking something thats comforting and making it uncomfortable or dangeroussays who?
>>214694340do you have a peer-reviewed research on this? otherwise i don't believe it
>>214694340Came here to post this.
>>214694340fun fact, they are jews that eat children. see hanzel and gretel, et al. same with vampires. cautionary tales for thousands of years.
>>214694340doubt it, old ladies can cook
a frail old lady doing scary things an old lady shouldn't physically be able to do is a classic spookthis twitter lady just scared of death, she needs Jesus
>>214694368Do you talk to people in real life. Ever met a woman especially a very nice old one that want to somehow infiltrate themselves into ur family. Bad shit starts to happen? Or that's right you are a shut un nobody with no real friends and totally oblivious of the rapid hate in today's world. Why you need proof. I feel like I'm typing to a dead man
>>214694416Kek you also probably think ghost exist
>>214694212My least favorite trope is seers/soothsayers. Some dirty old lady shucking and jiving and I have to accept that they're going to be right about everything because the screenwriter said so. Oh, she has DREADLOCKS and talks in a RASP, so spooky and mysterious. Fuck off.
>>214694212Fuck Wicked!
>>214694245> >Literally CANNOT stop thinking about Indians
>>214694436so no actual scientific evidence? okay so you can't prove it. mark of a liar.
No one complains when the trope is little kids are scary>villiage of the damned>the omen>the exorcist>rosemary's baby>the bad seed
