The Labyrinth is a masterpiece. A messed up, weird, creepy, but fantastical masterpiece about a young girl who makes a steep bargain with a spicy older goblin king, and has to go through an impossible labyrinth to try to undo it. And it’s weirdly zesty.
It’s a movie you watch 100s of times and think “yeah, of COURSE the middle ageless Goblin King LOVES a spoiled fifteen-year-old. Totally normal!” And then the years go by, and you think there’s NO WAY you remembered that correctly because why would Jim Henson make a movie about a suave tight-pantsed Davie Bowie putting the moves on a near child? And so you rewatch it and YES that IS WHAT HAPPENS and you re-evaluate your whole life, but then think “Wait. Maybe I misinterpreted this love story situation, so get your hands on the novelization of the movie, read it through 3 times, and feel compelled to tell the world that, boggling goblins, it somehow gets even CREEPIER AND WEIRDER!
This is a very deep dive into the messed-up happenings in the Labyrinth movie and book, and why they happen. You’ll never see the infamous ballroom scene with Jareth and the beautiful dress the same way ever again!
