The Haunting Series - Tumblr Posts

To truly love another person is to accept that the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them. And that's it. That's all.

- Owen Sharma, The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020) dir Mike Flanagan

mike flanagan simply cannot make anything without it saying "the horror is a love story. it was hideous and awful and people died and suffered without reason but it came from love, and the love was still good and pure and right for being there. the love created this monster and the cruelty will try to take the love with it too. but it never does, because love always outlives the pain, because it has to, because it's what it was all for."
