💨 Abstract

The author, a lifelong horror-averse individual, reluctantly watched *The Haunting of Bly Manor* during lockdown, seeking a sapphic romance. Despite initial fears, they found the show surprisingly engaging, praising its character depth, tender queer love story, and atmospheric scares. The experience shifted their perspective on horror, encouraging them to explore more in the genre. They now recommend the show to fellow horror skeptics, cautioning it’s still spooky.
