My disability horror movies

May 4, 2026 Carly Findlay Leave a Comment

My disability-related horror movies!.

Missing the sleep window at 10.30 pm and staying awake til 2.00 am

Being asked if I could be pregnant while having radiotherapy on my pelvis for ovarian cancer

Being asked if I know the abusive man with ichthyosis

Seven attempts to find a vein

Sitting outside at dinner

Being told I’m really pretty, considering

Spending a fortune on pharmacy items but never reaching the PBS safety net

Being told by other disabled people that a skin condition is not a disability

Being asked to educate on disability for free

Ichthyosis and facial difference being used as a Halloween costume (even worse when it’s done by someone in the community)

Needing to disclose a medical diagnosis or personal info to have your access needs met.
🙀
What are yours?

Video: a series of photos of Carly – some in hospital settings, some where she has cancer, one in a field of flowers. Text is over the photos, text as above. Music is Katy Perry – “In another life, I would be your girl”.
