HORROR
“What’s so engaging to me about horror is that its both so singular and personal but incredibly permeating to our cultures. There’s horror movies you can watch over and over again because we can control the scare and then others that scar us so deeply, we’re ok with putting that away for good. But boy, does it ever change the way we operate from then on.”
