Who talked about it

The Big Picture

Came from

What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

It Follows: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): It Follows ⇒ The Witch (the host's read). It Follows is a precursor to The Witch in the rise of the term elevated horror, a phrase both hosts distrust.
    “I think is an interesting precursor to the witch because that's when we started hearing what I think is kind of an ugly phrase, which is elevated horror”
