@787Typhlosion@DOMINATIONTWO@TeamPWR i think by today’s standards TCM is closer to an art house film, but for its time it was certainly perceived as something different. i don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that it directly influenced the genre into halloween + without it we would’ve never gotten these characters.
@787Typhlosion@DOMINATIONTWO@TeamPWR i completely disagree. peeping tom & psycho are character driven drama / thrillers. the focus isn’t on the killing as much as it is on the mc’s. a far cry from slashers as we know them stemming from tropes TCM set in place (masked killer, oblivious teens, multiple deaths)
