I just watched The Conjuring 2, and while it’s on my mind in a similar vein to this post, I also want to spread some appreciation for Javier Botet because GOD DAMN LOOK AT THIS SHIT
He has Marfan Syndrome, which is a rare connective tissue condition that gives him bizarrely elongated limbs and allows him to do unnatural things with his body, and he’s built quite a resume for himself appearing in horror movies
Like Doug Jones, he also appeared as three of the ghosts in Crimson Peak:
But you may have also seen him as The Crooked Man in The Conjuring 2:
Eddie’s leper in IT:
The Nina monster in all three REC movies:
Set, the God of Death in The Mummy (2017):
The titular creature in Mama:
He did motion capture work for the Xenomorph in Alien: Covenant:
And he most recently appeared in Insidious: The Last Key and the Slender Man movie!!
He’s done other more obscure horror movies too but basically this guy is adorable and inspiring and an amazing talent and I adore him 8D
