It's been about a 10-year stretch where we had the quote-unquote elevated horror moment, and that dovetailed into a kind of mass consumption moment.
And I think that those two things are very connected.
And a lot of it was kicked off by...
Studios like Neon and A24 taking chances on younger, more inexperienced filmmakers who hadn't done stuff before.
I don't think this moment is necessarily like a problem for Universal.
They have Blumhouse.
It's not a problem for Warner Brothers.
They have New Line.
I am really interested to see if like
Disney or Sony or Paramount or Lionsgate or especially Apple and Amazon like start to care about this because it's a genre that most of those studios don't have not spent a lot of time on.
Sony has, of course, with Screen Gems and some other things that they've done over the years.
But Disney doesn't really make horror movies.
They don't really make scary stuff at all.
They have in the past, but not really very often.
Paramount, it's kind of come and gone.
They did make Smile, which is a really important movie to this moment.
Like, what does an Apple horror movie look like?
I don't know.
Widows Bay, their TV show, is fucking awesome.
It's like one of the best horror things that's come out in the last 10 years.
