I'm the director and I got magical powers.
This is not how I want to spend this time.
No.
I found it interesting that if you're a nervous person, nervous people rent horror more often.
So scaredy cats love horror.
And then I've asked friends about this and they'll say something like, I was stressed about not getting my pay on time and my kid not doing this thing and my mother giving me a bunch of crap.
But now I'm watching this person get chopped into little pieces with a hatchet.
Suddenly I feel better about my life.
It's like, okay.
And it's yeah, my paycheck was late, but I'm not being dismembered by a dude in a dirty basement.
You know what?
I'm just going to get some Cheetos.
I think you make a great point in the book where you can adjust your immersion.
I do this.
I'm not a scary movie guy, but if I know there's going to be a jump scare and they're going to show a dead body, turn the volume down.
Maybe I'll only watch out of the corner of my eye because they're going to be like, boom, and they're going to show a dead body that's been frozen for a year.
It's going to be scary.
I turn down the volume.
They're going to play one of those loud ass sounds where the violins and the cellos all hit the same note at once.
I don't want to deal with that.
