So I'm just trying to say, what is it about horror? What is it about especially this kind of subgenre horror that people just eat up now because it's so popular? What's in it?
5:54
Yeah, that's kind of good.

And I guess this is kind of my experience, and it seems like it's, when I talk to other people who really, really like it and everything like that, it allows your imagination to kind of run wild.

Because the whole premise of everything is that even if you're experiencing some horror, you're seeing some kind of monster... or you're seeing something that resembles a monster, whatever it is, it's always got this thing where the things that are being seen in the stories are quote unquote indescribable.
6:28
So it kind of allows the people who are reading it to build like their own interpretation of it in their mind.
6:37
And then the whole point will be at the end of the story, they'll say, whatever you just saw, you don't even understand that it's just the tip of the iceberg for the horror and the madness that's actually out there.

So then that gets your imagination running even further.
