It's not a common expression or anything, they're just saying it looks like a hairstyle that someone would have while working at a boring office job, unlike the glamorous hairstyles drag queen favor when performing on stage.
Seconding the recommendation for Raw (2016).
Also, you didn't mention which version of We Are What We Are you watched (2010 original Mexican movie and/or 2013 American remake), but if you haven't seen both versions you should watch the one you haven't seen. Both movies are pretty good, but very different.
Trouble Every Day (2001) and In My Skin (2002) could also interest you, although the letter is about the urge of self-cannibalism.
You were responding to a comment saying it is fair for AirBnB owners to pay the same property tax as hotel owners. Your counterpoint was that AirBnB owners already have to pay a lodging tax.
I am pointing out that your argument is irrelevant because the lodging tax is charged in hotels as well and that in any case it is not an expense for property owners. Hope that helps.
La taxe d'hébergement est aussi facturée dans les hôtels, pas seulement les AirBnB, et dans tous les cas elle est payée par les clients. Ça ne constitue absolument pas une dépense pour les propriétaires.
Les sommes perçues en taxe d'hébergement retournent aux fonds de partenariat touristique. Toutes les personnes et entreprises qui touchent un revenu du tourisme, incluant les propriétaires d'AirBnB, bénéficient des investissements dans l'industrie touristique de leur région.
Slash/Back (2022) is very similar to The Thing (1982), but with teen protagonists! The main characters survive and it's not as frightening as The Thing, but still scary enough for younger teens.
You really need to watch The Black Cat (1934) if you haven't seen it yet. Great movie and captivating performances from both actors.
Between Lugosi's Dracula and Karloff's Monster, I lean a little more towards Lugosi as I think he had a great balance between scary (for the time period) and seductive. Karloff was fantastic too though, for the reasons you mentioned.
I Walked With a Zombie (1943)
Sugar Hill (1974)
Eve's Bayou (1997)
Zombi Child (2019)
I'm assuming you've seen Psycho as well.
Seconding The Inkeepers recommendation and throwing these titles into the mix:
Daughters of Darkness (1971) - lesbian vampire romance
High Spirits (1988) - supernatural comedy
The Boy (2015) - psychological drama
Those scenes in which a queen would have multiple confessionals and she'd be wearing a whole ass different outfit in each of them.
Good question. Sci-fi and horror certainly do intersect quite a bit (along with other genres like fantasy, adventure, mystery, etc.) and a lot of stories and subjects fall under multiple genres or have the potential to do so. Whether they also fit into a specific genre or not (in this case, "true" horror, horror-adjacent or not horror) is imho not just a result of the subject matter but also because of the approach to the material.
Someone who's smarter than me could probably expand on the literary and cinematic mechanisms of each genre and why certain novels and films can be both sci-fi and horror (Frankenstein, The Island of Dr. Moreau, etc.) while others could but don't, but even then most cases could still be debated.
For a non-sci-fi example, I've definitely seen discussions of Heart of Darkness as a horror novel. Interestingly, in those cases it is seen as a horror story because of the interior psychological journey, unlike most "jungle horror" movies where the horror is primarily derived from external threats (e.g., cannibalism).
Seconding the David Lynch recommendation.
These movies could also interest you:
Vampyr (1932)
The Face of Another (1966)
The Cremator (1969)
The Tenant (1976)
Barton Fink (1991)
Berberian Sound Studio (2012)
Under the Skin (2013)
Creepy (2016)
Possessor (2020)
The Beast Must Die (1974) is a fun one.
There is also a werewolf in November (2017), but I wouldn't really say that it's a werewolf movie.
Seconded. Amazing body of work, his performances still hold up quite well which is uncommon for silent film stars (not hating on these actors, it's just that the acting style of the era can be a bit jarring for modern audiences) AND he did top notch special effects makeup on top of that.
Le test d'ADN ne sert pas à grand chose si la personne n'est pas répertoriée dans les bases de données.
The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) - dollhouse
Don't Leave Home (2018) - dioramas
Sharp Objects (2018, TV) - dollhouse
Haven't seen that one, sorry! Terry Gilliam's movies are usually more surreal and not very gothic though, except for Tideland I suppose (and I didn't really care for that one, personally).
Carnival of Souls (1962) obviously
Ghoulies II (1987) yes I'm serious
Carnivàle (2003-2005, TV) season 1 is fantastic for the carnival setting
I'm less a fan of Bava's stuff from the 1970s (the movies I've seen, anyway), not that it's bad I'm just not as much into it idk. Blood and Black Lace is great, love the use of color. Black Sunday is probably my favorite of his though, I just love Barbara Steele and the atmosphere is unbeatable. I also have a soft spot for Planet of the Vampires.
As far as older movies go, The Brainiac (1962) aka El barón del terror is a lot of fun! La marca del muerto (1961) is also pretty decent.
Period pieces: Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Eve's Bayou (1997), Sleepy Hollow (1998), Shadow of the Vampire (2000), The Others (2001), Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001), Penny Dreaful (2014-2016, TV), Crimson Peak (2015), The Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches (2017).

It's there! Between Black Sunday and the Blancheville Monster.

For "contemporary" gothic (as in, set in the same time period in which the movies were made): I Walked With a Zombie (1943), The Uninvited (1944), The Secret Beyond the Door (1947), Repulsion (1965).
Pulling this twist in Snatch Game is straight up evil lmao. There were some really good performances in the second part though, Ruby as Isabelle Adjani might be my favorite Snatch Game of the year so far.
Also I don't know if it's DRF production being stricter on this or just a coincidence, but I like that we're only getting actual impressions of celebrities or live action characters on this franchise.
The Nicky Phone twist struck again! The queens had to do the 2nd option for Snatch Game right away and they were actually AMAZING 🤩
