Hip hop, like horror, is not merely a genre but an artistic modality born of transgression. One thing is taken apart and transformed into something altogether new and right for its discursiveness.

Like slime, worms make for fascinating movie monsters. They’re impossible entities to relate to, existing in and experiencing the world in ways we can’t fathom—not that many would want to anyway. Ecologically speaking, they’re a sign that soil is healthy; that it’s alive. But in storytelling, they function as potent signifiers of existential, embodied dread. We may all be systems of sentient goo underneath our skin, but worms are the things that eat the goo we turn into.

So much of the beauty and power of horror is in the language the genre gives us to navigate the darker, more painful aspects of human existence. Obviously, this has never been limited to horror films. Michael Jackson changed the music industry in 1982 when he embraced the music video as a cinematic form. He hired the director of An American Werewolf in London to help him make a postmodern horror short, and unleashed “Thriller” upon the world.
