You may be going wrong somewhere if you think that horror is enjoyable during Halloween only. Yes, Halloween is an occasion to celebrate horror in many funny ways that do not frighten us the least. We enjoy the weird costumes and makeup as people dress up like zombies and Dracula to give the touches of a carnival to the event. It provides us with an opportunity to make fun of everything that could frighten us if caught unaware. But apart from the funny Halloween celebrations, some folks consume horror because they get a kick from it. Or else why would there be such a big following for horror movies? The latest buzz is about Netflix the House,
Countless people fill the theaters to enjoy the spine-chilling thrills of horror movies like The Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and many more that are classics in their own right. DVDs of films like The Exorcist, The Omen, and the Dracula series are still in demand. Even haunted theme parks attract a good crowd while there are enough readers of Steven King novels that depict horror in various forms. Movie companies and streaming companies lose no opportunity to produce movies and shows that terrify people and make them numb as they witness scary events unfold on their television screens. As the holiday season is ending soon, it seems that people would not mind watching something gloomier. It can be a reason for Netflix getting ready to stream a stop motion on Netflix named The House on January 14, 2022.
Netflix the House – What’s it all about
The trailer of Netflix’s has set the stage for the opening of The House, a stop-motion anthology or, better to say, an animated film that the company describes as a spectacular presentation of horror at its best. The House, central to the movie, is home to three individuals part of three different surreal stories. By terming the series as a dark, eccentric comedy, the company tries to stoke viewers’ curiosity to attract many people who otherwise turn their back on hearing the phrase horror movie.
It’s a sly marketing tactic to increase the TRP (Target Rating Point) and should succeed because, after all, there is a large audience for horror movies. Besides the three individuals, the stories’ protagonists, many queer and frightful creatures like cats and mice and dancing cockroaches alongside giant things lurk in the shadows. All kinds of devilish acts keep viewers on tenterhooks just like the inhabitants who go mad, if not dead.
Not for the faint-hearted
Although viewing horror movies at home might appear a bit less scary, it might not hold for Netflix the House, which the company is marketing as an adult stop-motion anthology. The three individuals start living in the House at different times that depict three different realities. The stories have nothing in common except for the high dose of horror and fear that is quite a good amount in each story. The unconnected stories stay stitched together by the House, where the most unexpected things involving humans, creatures, and animals start happening. Regardless of the age of viewers, The House has all the ingredients to instill fear and shock that can leave them scared for many days whenever they would think about what they have seen.
