So this might be weird/hard to explain if nobody knows what I’m talking about, but I just need to air my thoughts somewhere and if anyone has any thoughts relating to this, I’d like to hear other people’s perspectives.

Shows/movies now, that are targeted to young “alternative” audiences, are… weird right? I know my opinion is subjective, and I wouldn’t judge if anyone did like these shows, but they all just give me the “ick” I guess.

I’m thinking like the Wednesday show, or (ugh) hazbin hotel. They’re both portrayed to be “eDgY, KeWl” and “oh so different”, but the weird thing is (to me at least) they seem to perpetuate stereotypical mainstream media tropes/cliches/plot structures. They feel cringey and uninspired. I think someone used the term “safe edgy” to describe them, and I agree! They both perfectly showcase the corny, cringey juxtaposition of when normies think “hey I can do that too!! 🤑”.

Maybe I’m just being pretentious and screaming at the wall though. There’s a lot more I could say, but I don’t want this to become an essay on why I don’t like these shows. And I was wondering if anyone else shared my cynical sentiment, or disagrees?

Hello, everyone. We released a song called Mysterious Guest, which has a dark tone. We are struggling to define a genre for it. Would you guys be kind enough to help us with that?

1. Do you like the song?
2. What genre would it fit in, in your opinion?

All comments are appreciated. Thanks :)

I co-wrote a song about all eight official Universal Monsters. It's a cross between symphonic metal and Broadway showtune. You'll find easter eggs (in both the lyrics and music) for horror and monster fans.

I was a VIP tour guide at Universal Studios and got to walk on the soundstages and outdoor sets where the monsters roamed. I studied film at USC and have written articles about these iconic characters.

The incredible indie artist Brette Alana provides the vocals as the Bride of Frankenstein.

Here's the song on Apple Music and Spotify. I hope you'll listen and add it to your Halloween playlist.

I had saved an edit on TikTok of an actor/character that I found mesmerizing, I later decided to see the name of the series/film (if I remember correctly it was a series) and watch it later, in the end I forgot about it for a while and when I finally went to look for the video, it had been deleted (🫠). So I would really appreciate it if you could help me find the series/film or the actor.

Let's go: he was a young man (around 20 years old) with black hair (like Timotheé Chalamet hair) and VERY striking big eyes (it was like if Eva Green and Bill Skarsgård had had a child), he looked A LOT like Victor from Corpse Bride, mainly because the aesthetic of the series/film was gothic (probably) victorian, a vibe of mystery and investigation. In the scene in the edit it was snowing and he was looking up and, if I'm not mistaken, it was a wake, with a very somber atmosphere.
