Of course it is. This is what Halloween is based on.Sure, but there's no such thing as "the aesthetics of horror".
Yes, aesthetics is a word with meaning. No, horror does not have an overarching aesthetic.Aesthetics is not a closed system of meanings, but rather a social sense of certain connections between ugliness and beauty.
Kindred was pretty good, too bad main actor died and took the show with him.Kindred the embraced wasn’t that bad for a 90’s show. The only other vampire show I remember from that period was Forever Knight. I was a kid during the 90’s but I remember all the crap my parents were into that they would be embarrassed to admit they liked back then. Gotta remember too even HBO was young then and modern big budget shows with long running seasons and plots didn’t really start until the Sopranos.
I actually do think with the proper showrunners and plot line VTM could do better than Anne Rice’s adaptations. The IP now though has too many cooks in the kitchen and even someone who could do it right would get overridden by all the bullshit. If it was me doing it, I’d probably start a season following a new embrace of a clan and really introduce that clan’s culture and slowly tie it to the bigger setting. I also think they’d have to commit early to how exactly dark they want it to be.

Out of those only noir has an overarching aesthetic, which relates to my point exactly, horror does not and neither do fantasy or science-fiction.Like science-fiction, fantasy or noir. And it is this sensitivity that translates into aesthetics

Simple, noir can be for a good part defined by it's aesthetics, the others can not. Also, those are one and the same hand, no other hand.On the one hand, you use terms as real entities with clear boundaries, and on the other hand, you arbitrarily indicate what meets the conditions of the term and what does not.

Ok this won't go anywhere, please resume regular programming![]()
There was no video on demand, so studios insisted on plots that didn't ask the audience to bring anything in the way of context.Well, it's old. Probably still better than any other vampire themed tv shows.i'm watching kindred the embraced and wow its baaaaaaad
The articles say the show was considered too complex for the general audience due to 5 clans and many characters... '90s sure were a weird place, were people really that dumb?

Excuse me, are you using the word gothic as a real entity that you throw into a calculus of predicates? How quaintHe just meant gothic horror
24 was a turning point for longer arcs, but it had lengthy "previously on" summaries at the start of each episode.

Babylon 5 already did longer arcs almost a decade before 24 and it worked fine!
Babylon 5 was always on shaky ground which resulted in its almost-cancellation in season 4 which resulted in JMS compressing an entire year of stories in a few episodes, getting uncancelled at the last minute, and then having to tread water for that entire season because he already rushed through all his big story beats.
