INTERVIEWER: People usually use [the term “elevated horror”] to refer to A24’s movies, horror that’s very heavy on the metaphorical. Hereditary, Midsommar, movies like that.

JOHN CARPENTER: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
— From the AV Club’s interview with legendary horror film director, John Carpenter.

Honey? We need to talk.

I wanted 15 Thornhill Road to be perfect for us. We’ve put so much into this move, and I think that we wanted it to work so badly that we’re pretending nothing’s wrong. But the signs are all there.

The howls from the basement. The bloody child’s handprints on the bedsheets. The face that appears for a split second in the bathroom mirror and makes a deafening sound whenever we look up from washing our faces.

I get to The Garlic Not, and the place is packed with regulars. I decide to sit at the bar, and an old man with the fewest teeth I’ve ever seen hands me a menu.

“For a virgin as pure as you—on the house,” he says and passes me a goblet of something neon green. I take a sip, and it’s not half bad. I order the lamb alfredo and decide not to correct him on the weird virgin thing.

I’ve only been in Coffins Crest, Transylvania, for three days, and the omnipresent fog, eerie wind chimes, and sinking feeling that something horrible is about to happen is starting to feel normal.

I take a sip of my goblet cocktail and wonder how I’ll tell Historic Castles Magazine that someone else is also here to cover the famous castle.
