Hysterical Horror Analysis: The Ghostface Thing

Transcript

Hey, what's your favorite scary movie? Yeah I'm talking about Ghostface, that's what I'm doing. I feel like discussing the Ghostface conundrum or why so many people want to fuck Ghostface or a man dressed as Ghostface on Halloween.

I literally, I personally don't share this particular thing. I don't know if it's actually correct to call it a kink or is it a fetish? No it's not.

I have to figure out my terminology, please forgive me, I'm still learning, but I don't know what it is. It's like a thing. Every year more and more people are getting into it and I'm fascinated, I really truly am.

Like, why this mask? Why from this movie? Why is it mostly women who mostly fantasize about men in the mask when there have been both male and female Ghostfaces?

I don't know. Anyway, I'm going to talk about it, but to make it interesting, I'm going to be using my little rabbit on myself, which, by the way, is my only toy for now, sadly. I'm going to be using it while I talk and see if I can keep my train of thought.

I don't know if I will be able to. Okay, this is not off to a good start, but I'll try, I'll try. You know that painting, The Scream? You know, the one with the red and orange sky and the bridge and that ghostly-ass character screaming at you?

Well, that painting was done in 1893 by Edvard Munch and it was called The Scream. And that's, I believe, where they got the title of the movie and blah blah blah. It's also, like, almost three in the morning.

The Ghostface mask was modeled after that painting. And it really is, well, it was to me, genuinely scary. But over time, it's almost become, like, a huge-ass meme.

Like, Ghostface in pink. It's been really weird to watch. Cool, but still strange, because when I first watched the movie, I was genuinely scared.

And I also did not want to fuck him at all. Not even Billy or Stu, although I think they wanted to, you know, be with each other. I have a theory.

It's heavily implied by the final scene. I'm only going to be talking about Scream 1 because, honestly, I am too tired. Like, again, it's almost 3 a.m.

I'm too tired and too horny to try and think of all the different storylines. I'm not doing it. I'm just going to share my theories.

I'm just going to share my theories about why I think so many people want to fuck Ghostface. Even though he literally wants to kill them. I don't get it.

I have many theories, and guess what? If you disagree with my theories, please disagree with my theories. In the privacy of your own home, this is my audio.

And I get to say whatever I want. Especially if I'm getting off while I'm doing it. I can absolutely share my theories.

And I bet you love it too. I don't even know what I'm saying. But, okay.

Theories, theories, theories. It was so funny. I was tweeting about this earlier.

And someone said, it's easy, people are ugly. And people would rather, you know, just picture their favorite celebrity crush or a hot person while they're fucking. And there's some truth to that, sure.

But I actually think there might be another reason why. .. It's such a strange sensation to be horny and sleepy at the same time.

Oh my goodness. Oh, that feels really, really good. Micro-expressions.

That's my theory. Micro-expressions. I feel like.

.. I feel like, especially as someone who walks through the world and was socialized as a woman, I'm a woman. And I feel like I was raised to really pay attention to other people around me.

And sort of scan them for any kind of discomfort or negative emotions, right? Any kind of micro-expression that would give me a clue about what they were thinking so I could anticipate their needs, you know? And I feel like a big part of the appeal to someone wearing a mask is you don't have to think about their expressions.

You don't. You can focus on yourself. You can focus on.

.. sensations. You can focus on.

.. You can focus on so much. But why.

.. why the ghost face mask? Why that? It's not particularly attractive.

There are more attractive, in my opinion, masks from horror movie characters. Why did that? I think it's the eyes.

They're these big, gaping eyes. They give the illusion that they are just staring through you, almost. So even while you know you're not actually, you know, looking directly into someone's eyes, it looks like they're looking right at you.

And that mouth gaped open. Yes, it could be agony. But it could also be glee or pleasure.

The human brain will put all sorts of shit on it. And because it can. ..

People did. I don't understand. I mean, obviously, knife play is a thing.

I get that. But, like. ..

It goes in the same vein of the people who want tall or strong women, or bigger women, or just women, to step on them and ruin their lives and murder them with their thighs and shit. Like, I think there's become a lot of violent language. And violent imagery.

Levied at people and characters that we find attractive. And I think that's so interesting and kind of concerning. Like, why do you want.

.. Why do you, like, crave. ..

I, you know, I kind of get it. I kind of get it. It takes a singular focus on your victim.

It takes passion to kill. Especially a slasher film, it takes passion. And I find that in interpersonal relationships, especially those that are online, online dating, ghosting, all this stuff, you know, there can be a significant lack of passion.

A lack of intrigue, a lack of connection. People want to feel special. What's more special than someone seeking you out particularly? Even if it's from, you know, a bad place.

Even if it's for a nefarious reason. That feeling of being chosen is enough for a lot of people to get turned on. And I mean a lot.

I also wonder if there might be any. .. I don't know.

I don't know, so please don't come for me if I get this wrong. But, like, I wonder if there is any racial element to it. Because, I don't know, I'm sorry, I'm black, I will not be the one to be wishing for a killer to try and kill me.

Like, no thank you. I feel like there's a lot of things that could be said there, but I'm too tired to say it intelligently. And I'm just going to throw that out there, that there might be an element to that that is worth exploring.

And of course. .. Oh, fuck.

And of course. .. Oh my god.

And of course, well. .. The most attractive part of the Ghostface killer in the first movie, which is what I'm talking about, isn't Billy or Stu in particular.

Although there are people who are really attracted to those two. It is the voice changer that turns Ghostface's voice into something sexy. Oh my god.

Oh, that's good, yes. In the first scene, before we know what's going on. ..

You hear this. .. You hear this voice.

Not too low, not too high. Gravelly. ..

Gravelly. .. Confident.

And a lot of people enjoy that voice. So for that, I kind of get it. I get it.

But I still don't get the whole, like, literally being attracted to the fact he kills people thing. That's not my thing. Well, that's most of my theories.

That's pretty much everything. I can't even. ..

I can't concentrate. I can't concentrate. Oh, I'm so mad right now.

Now I'm thinking about Ghostface. This is stupid as fuck. Y'all are dumb.

Sorry. I guess I'm dumb too, then. Okay.

Fuck, fuck. I'm so wet. Oh, fuck, fuck.

Fuck. Fuck. But while we're here, there aren't enough Ghostface audios with women behind the mask.

Since we're gonna do all that. .. Fuck.

Oh my god. Oh my. ..

oh my god. Yes. Oh my god.

Fuck. Fuck. Oh my god.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Oh my god. Okay.

Okay. Fuck. This was, like.

.. This was all over the place. Fuck.

This was all over the place. Oh no. Did I.

.. Did I. ..

Did I keep it? You know what? Fuck it.

I'm gonna keep it. Oh my god. I sound so dumb right now.

I'm sorry. I promise. I went to school.

I promise. You think I'm smart, right? Fuck.

That was a lot of fun. Oh my god. I was thinking about Neve Campbell.

Or is it Nev? Is it Nev Campbell? Did I get it wrong? Oh, she's beautiful.

I was thinking about the mask itself. And then I was thinking about Sidney Prescott. Ah.

Ah, man. Well, if you made it this far. ..

Thank you for listening. This was very. ..

Very fun. And I know I'm not making sense because. ..

It is. .. It is.

.. Like 2.30 AM. And I need to get this up so y'all can listen to it and.

.. Hopefully laugh and hopefully. ..

Get a little turned on at least. I'm still pretty new to these. I have a blast making them though.

But these rambles are never hinged. They are always unhinged so. ..

Thanks again for sticking around and. .. Until next time.

There's always a sequel.
