I had no idea the series had this much lore  I watched a bunch of those older horror flicks where the cast is in high school/college and there is a murderer on the loose and this one is up there among the best (even though it's not necessarily a killer but you get the point ). The humor is there, and the main characters are really interesting. I don't know if the director wanted it to be super important for the plot, but the whole puberty storyline was intriguing and the way the mother handled her two daughters was really refreshing. I don't think I saw a horror film where the mom was that nice and understanding and let their daughters do whatever they liked. I like when horror movies have these underlying themes that we can discuss once the movie is over. 

I saw that there was a 2nd and a 3rd part and I will definitely watch them soon. Thanks for the fun facts! I have no idea that Orphan Black was in the same universe. Might give it a watch when I am done with my horror movie marathon 

You're right it's actually so funny but a lot of people don't seem to get that. It was kinda ahead of it's time, being filmed in 1999, for having two strong and well written female leads and talking about puberty, menstruation etc. No trust me I've watched all the interviews and directors/writers DVD commentary back in the day   the transforming into a literal monster and turning on your loved ones as a metaphor for puberty was the point. And yes I love Pamela. She's trying her best as a mom of two angsty daughters in the 90's but she was just a little in over her head. I ****ing loved at the end when she goes ride or die for them and says something like "it's one thing to lock me up but they can't take away my girls. Tomorrow I'll light a match and let the house fill up with gas. We'll start again, just us girls"  

Orphan Black isn't a horror but it is a really good TV show! I just lost track of where I was at and never finished it. I really should jump back in. Another fact is that the movie did so badly upon release due to a stroke of really bad luck. The Columbine school shootings happened right before release and no theatres wanted to pick up a slasher movie set in a high school. The theatres that did screen it had to remove the film very quickly due to protests. But it gained a huge cult following after the fact!

Also... they've been in talks the past few years to make a modern day adaptation in the form of a TV show. Which I was really sceptical about given it's one of my favourite movies ever, but the original director and production company are attached so I'd give it a go! I'm not sure if it's still happening actually...

I really like Midsommar. Horror in summer is fascinating to me.
