Oh, the one with the guy! And he goes to that place to do that thing! And he meets all of them!
I think that's a parable
You mean like an Aesop's fable?
Flight of the navigator
Consequences? We can rule out Supernatural then.
Counterpoint: Longlegs and the Unkillable Conservatism of Horror Films
Starting with Frankenstein and Dracula and going all the way through The Exorcist, Carrie, Re-Animator, Hell House, Hereditary, Talk to Me, and Longlegs, the messages of horror films often reinforce positive social norms and warn against violating them. Greed, lust, and pride get punished; so do crimes, violations of God’s natural order, and playing with occult forces.
Supernatural, capital S, the CW show about brothers Sam and Dean and Dean's angel boyfriend Castiel and no women to speak of (except Charlie). Not THE supernatural.
Oh. Never heard of it.
You're better off like that, that way lies madness and tears.
