I’m trying to think of the last big breasted horror icon that people took seriously, and I can only think of Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil.
But whether it’s Hollywood or video games, creators and the audience don’t seem to believe big breasted women are capable of being evil, angry, traumatized, lonely, regretful, guilty, or any of the other reasons to haunt the earth.
Every ghost and demon is either a petite woman, an old person, a child, or just a guy.
there’s a big titty ghost in Thir13en Ghosts (2001) but that’s definitely not a movie to take seriously
uhh, take a look at the lead of this year’s biggest horror movie.
my brain is scrambled in just such a way that my first thought was “the Backrooms pirate but with huge jugs”
I think it’s the breasted boobily thing, where irl anyone can have big ones but in fiction it’s a deliberate decision so the outcomes are much more skewed towards characters whose boobs are core character attributes. I think even when this is avoided it can create a kind of accidental Chekov’s Rack situation if youre not casual or intentional about it, where because nothing in a work of fiction is truly incidental, the unconscious tendency of the reader/watcher/player is to question what the author meant by this and whether it will be important at some point.
I think lady giantvampire is still a good character though, an aristocrat (so a human being already spiritually curdled by parisitism) further alienated by immortal predatory seclusion in a luxurious castle where it’s always a warm harvest autumn, the unliving embodiment of getting everything you want forever and becoming increasingly mercurial and untethered. A little pocket eternity of feudal excess and sensuality fueled by endless blood and winter outside. And the boobs are part of that motif but there’s more to it, you know?
