This Director is Totally Rethinking Scary Movies
- What’s Inside:
- Why scary movies can be fun.
- How junk food plays a role.
- A fresh look at old horror.
Okay, so we just got a peek at what Jane Schoenbrun is doing with their new movie, ‘Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma’. It’s not just another jump-scare fest, nope. Jane is actually digging into the old-school slasher movies and figuring out what makes them tick.
They told Deadline that they want us to be able to enjoy a scary movie. Like, really get into it. It’s about finding that sweet spot between being spooked and having a good time. Think of it like a fun, creepy vibe.
And get this, Jane noticed something really cool. The old slasher films are packed with candy and junk food. It’s like a visual style that pops with bright colors and sugary treats. It’s all there in the DNA of these movies, even the not-so-great ones.
By looking at these details, Jane is showing us a whole new way to see horror. It’s like taking apart a puzzle and putting it back together, but way spookier and more interesting. We’re kind of obsessed with this idea.
Our Take
We think it’s awesome that Jane is taking the classic scary movie stuff and making it feel new again. It’s not about forgetting the past, but understanding it so you can create something even better. It’s like art, right? Taking inspiration and making it your own.
