Here’s an interesting short video essay coving the topic of size in horror media (a topic that, if you’ve ever read any of my written work, then you know is near and dear to my heart

) with the focus being on the French graphic novel, Beautiful Darkness.

It is an interesting point of view and a bit of a spoiler for the fantasy. I saw a documentary a long time ago about giant creatures in movies, but it was from a scientific standpoint telling how it couldn't happen, mainly showing the effects of gravity on a mammal or insect suddenly becoming giant. Just another buzz kill if you take yourself too seriously.

Oh, "Jolie Ténèbres", I didn't even knew it had been translated! Excellent, got this one when it came out.
