[squirrels_oh_no]

Have you ever been on a cruise, ONTD? Want to go on a cruise? Or do you just enjoy watching cruise ships get destroyed in disaster movies and TV? Today, I will take you through a few classics in a very niche segment of film/TV - the cruise ship disaster genre. There are more in here than you might remember, but I'm just going to give you a brief

Nautical disasters are one of my special interests! The ocean terrifies me. The vast depths are scary as hell!

That being said Ghost Ship is fantastic and I can watch it over and over. It’s terrible but god it’s a perfect storm (lmao) of ghosts, ships, and Karl Urban.

Also this song that had no right to be in this movie because it was too good for it (also this scene + the ball at the beginning >>>> everything else).

The opening scene is fucking iconic. I wish there was a book adaption of the movie. I’d read the hell out of that shit.

SAME. I'm not even sure if there are books similar to it but Ghost Ship is one of my favorite horror movies.

Dead Silence by S.A Barnes is giving me HEAVY Ghost Ship meets Dead Space vibes if you’re interested in sci-fi!

But I want just the movie Ghost Ship in book form!!!

You can always be the one to write it!

Okay so full transparency I am in the beginnings of writing an urban fantasy and I definitely have an idea for a ghost ship esque plot for a novel in that universe.

Ooh, from the summary it sounds good. I'll definitely look into it, thanks!
