    Good, I think it’d be hard to sell that as real horror these days.

      I think there would be ways - not so much by making the monster scary, more by focussing on the existential dread and rejection in visceral ways. Basically less jump scares and more philosophical gore.

        So write it from the monsters perspective? Isn’t that the point of the original? That people are the monsters?

    I started watching Nightmare Alley thinking it was a horror movie. Turns out I was right
