  • Ghouls explore The Substance, a satirical body horror film that critiques society’s obsession with youth and beauty. Through the story of Elisabeth Sparkle, we examine the devastating impact of external validation on identity, the pressures of pretty privilege, and the pervasive stigma against aging women. From Hollywood’s unrealistic standards to personal reflections on gender norms, we dive deep into how societal expectations shape self-worth. Featuring parallels to real-life stories and media, we unpack the emotional and physical toll of chasing impossible ideals.
