I'm not a horror movie fan...... I somehow survived Psycho a 100 years ago it seems. Clever as it was I still step into a shower carefully.
My husband, boyfriend at the time, still tells an hilarious story involving my small dog that helped intensify the terror I experienced at the time!
So while a movie like Scream is beyond me what I did enjoy hugely was your well written essay on the development of horror films.
Thank you.
Your last line is classic!
