Movie night: The Old Lady and the Spider

An old lady befriends a spider in this American folktale, and in return for her kindness and friendship, the spider makes her a gift to rid a girl of her nightmares. Four-and-a-half minutes from Alexis de Jesus Costa.

Now thinking about...

Doom Patrol styled reality failure as giant manatees (or something like them) take to the sky and destroy tall structures. Do ghosts appear as they remember themselves or as others remember them? Red Riding Hood caring for a paraplegic wolf in a slum apartment block in New York (then and now contrast). If as Neil Gaiman implies, Hell's power lies in the hopes of the damned, then it follows that to defeat Hell, the damned need to give up hope. The monster under the bed and the bed are symbiotic. What happens to ghosts that inhabit homes damaged in disasters? The dead, and the dead that remember the living. Baba Yaga and exploitation of children. If AI really was I it would run away. Times when it is not good to lick your fingers. Personification of an emotional void and how the vacuum feeds itself. Fratricide by knowing indifference.
