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.
