The ones who dress up as gross, terrible villains, they're playing that role.

And the others who dress up as the princess, they're still out there seeing the gross, terrible villains and all the scary decorations.

For the adults, it's a time of year where it's not seen as weird to go to a haunted house or watch a scary movie.

That's just seen as what you're supposed to do.

And so I think it gives a cozy feeling because if you like horror movies or you like spooky stuff, you're morbidly curious.

This is like the time of year where your personality is not seen as obscure or weird or strange or morally wrong.

It's seen as totally normal and acceptable.

You just play the Home Alone clip.

So Home Alone is funny because somebody asked me one time, they said, well, given your definition of horror, wouldn't Home Alone be a horror movie?

And I said, well, that's a good point.

You're thinking about it the right way.

I said, but if you think about it, Kevin is like really clever and he has all of this stuff at his disposal.

And the two villains are just like comically horrible.

They're terrible villains.

They don't work together well.

They're idiots.

Yes.

And they're just totally incompetent as burglars.

And so really, Kevin kind of is outmatching them in some ways.

Right.
