Horror Movie Chat

Lucía enters the Horror Movie Chat room for the first time on a Friday night at 10 PM. She has just watched "The Witch" at a secret screening at her university and can't stop talking about the scene where the witch throws a horn at the baby in the woods. "Has anyone ever seen a scene as cruel as that?", she asks, with curiosity still fresh on her face. In the room, several strangers respond with their own horror stories.

Soon after, the conversation shifts to the series "Stranger Things", with someone asking if the kids from Hawkins are scarier than those from "It Follows". "As for monsters," someone responds, "nothing beats the 80s Slasher, those guys who would cut your face with a garden knife". Someone else joins the conversation, recalling that in their childhood they played a horror game for PC that was a replica of "Phantasmagoria". The acidic humor and heated debates warm up the atmosphere, but there's also mutual help: someone asks about the best way to avoid spoilers on social media.

What makes the Horror Movie Chat room unique is its obsession with "J-horror". The regulars know exactly what it means when someone mentions "Kwaidan". On Sunday afternoons, the room fills up with people waiting for the next big Asian horror release. Someone asks for the translation of a phrase from "Battle Royale" and someone else responds with a quote from an American movie that also deals with kids killing each other. It's a game of intelligence and knowledge that only the regulars can appreciate.
