Braeden Lemasters wallows in his feelings in “1980s Horror Film,” after his crush, “Jaime” doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. The plot twist comes in the final Chorus when Jaime explains that she’s just “not that into guys.”
According to a fan who attended the band’s Phoenix show on March 20, 2019, Braeden explained that the 1980s film discussed in the track is Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.
An alternate version of the track was released as a single on October of 2018, titled “1980s Horror Film II” which features some sonic differences to the original, but the lyrical content is the same.
Braeden answers this question in an interview with Variance:
“Technically I did. In my room, randomly out of nowhere. I was thinking about “Norwegian Wood” by the Beatles and that guitar riff; this song has that similar song structure and I wanted to write the story in way that it starts to unravel things for the narrator. John took it into another level in the studio with the production; what was an acoustic song—we laid it down that way—John then said, “Let’s go get freaky.” We started putting sub-bass on it, strings at the end and violin; it just took a life of its own.”
"That song came together pretty quickly one day writing, so that’s how it started. The production of it though, we never really knew which way to take it. There was an acoustic way and a more dreamy alternative way sort of like Alvvays. We ultimately decided in the studio to go with the acoustic vibe and then just layer a bunch of weird sounds throughout the track. We thought having these different strings and instruments that you hear on other listens would be cool."
