It\u2019s easy to complain about the state of things. For one, the state of things is \u201cI know I shouldn\u2019t have another Taco Bell quesadilla but that\u2019s a Tomorrow Me problem,\u201d but, like, for the whole planet. It\u2019s important, though, to show gratitude. Life is, generally, good and worth living, and we should remind ourselves of these things. <\/p> So let\u2019s take a step back and acknowledge the current era as a fantastic era of horror. I\u2019m not a guy who\u2019s going to label things a \u201cGolden Age\u201d or \u201cPeak Indie Horror\u201d or whatever, I have applied to work at The Ringer<\/em> and they did not give me an interview. But the stuff that\u2019s come out since like 2017 or so\u2014the rise of A24 and Blumhouse, the transformation of Jordan Peele from \u201cthe guy in the valets sketch<\/a>\u201d to \u201cgive this guy a Scorsese runtime to make a monster movie,\u201d the historical fact that Dave Franco used his directorial debut to portray an older brother character as a soulless, philandering creep<\/a>\u2014we\u2019ve got good stuff happening in horror. Let\u2019s enjoy it. Here\u2019s some stuff I\u2019ve watched in the last month or so that I think you might like. <\/p> note: not really any spoilers below, but proceed at your own risk. Also, inspired by excellent Riot Squad<\/a>, I\u2019ll include linsk to the website Does The Dog Die, so you can check for triggers and CWs before viewing any of these. <\/em><\/p> Double Feature: <\/strong>Totally Killer <\/strong><\/em>and <\/strong>The Babysitter<\/strong><\/em><\/p> Does The Dog Die? <\/em>Totally Killer<\/a> | The Babysitter<\/a><\/p>![](\"https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/36407ff8-a477-479c-b0f6-9a5ca0ba1554_2740x3809.jpeg\"\/)
