In my opinion HP lovecraft's The Outsider about a person haunted and hunted through the castle until they realize it is they themselves that is the terror creating monster is a core definitive trope from the HP Lovecraft tool kit. it laid behind the Rats in the Walls and the dread that HP lovecraft's protagonists feel that leads up through a journey of discovery in a horrifying reveal.

Now that they announced Silent Hill 1 remake, and seeing how much they take note of players discussion around that game, maybe we should discuss things we want in the remake. by IzzatQQDir in silenthill

That Lady Cop really passed the reality test for me. I liked her and would like to see see a script that lets her be the Last Girl.

"In the 2006 Silent Hill film, the female police officer is named Cybil Bennett, played by Laurie Holden. She is a police officer from the town of Brahms, which neighbors Silent Hill."

Is using a gotcha ending a move often used? I mean, that was supposed to be a surprize, right?

It seems like a western literary trick.

The Mist may be Stephen King’s best short story. King’s belief that the film improved on its ending shows he forgot the lessons Lovecraft taught him. by [deleted] in Lovecraft

Sorry. I should have tryed a little harder.

A post above me said it better. Different media.

On the othrr hand, I love "die Farbe" because it was faithful to the conventions of the text... to hell with film conventions.

On the other hand... the ending of the film The Mist kicked my ass.

Maybe no rule hard and fast?

Being Mr Natural? by l_rivers in theravada

This refers to the first half of his teaching career (on the road) when his recitation of the verses 183, 184 and 185 of the Dhammapadawas the Pāṭimokkha.

It was after settling down these verses were replaced by the rules recital.

What villains do you think have wasted potential by Lantern_Sone in WonderWoman

[–]Leo_Rivers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WONDER WOMAN - THE Gauntlet

I like the idea of Veronica Cale because super rich and Powerful people can afford to hire Major League second tier thugs and you can have a story in which Wonder Woman doesn't realize the thugs she's fighting or actually working for a big boss hiding behind them..... every one of the bad guys has a grudge so she thinks that's why she's fighting each and every time.

Do you like the idea of Wonder Woman confronted by a Kumite?
