npub1e62mac4wunt6e63994hu5kmgvu4s0lfc9nmtqdpnphd8w3tcs9hq0crxzh (npub1e62…rxzh) Ok, so for me, I associate the uncanny with the more subtle end of horror; feelings like unease, dread, discomfort. A kind of queasy, itchy feeling rather than terror, shock, or strong disgust. I think that's because the objects and experiences which tend to elicit a sense of the uncanny are often not directly threatening; like, a mannequin, not a big monster. And if the mannequin tries to bite you in the head we've crossed over into terror territory! 😄
