Every culture/region has stories and myths about the things existing there. What are the ones you find the most spooky and/or interesting?

      Since most of us can’t afford retirement this should make a comeback.
      Or we push billionaires down a cliff and use that money to take care of the elderly.

      Wasn’t that the only way to get to Valhalla except dying in a fight?

      And IIRC you had to jump yourself (sure gramps jumped all by himself!!!).

          Not especially. If we’re talking horror as in scary, then yea, but it has to be more than gratuitous jumpscares. If we’re talking psychological, graphic horror, which I feel is what Midsommar was trying to be, then not too much. I felt it really lacked a purpose and existed only to serve shocking visuals. I found the director’s previous film (The Witch, I think?) to be way more compelling.

          It’s perfectly possible to be a fan of a genre, but not of a particular film in that genre. Stop trying to make it weird.
