I think I know why I love horror movies so much.
Because life IS a horror movie.
Just when you think everything just might be ok, you realize that short lady with the funny voice did not, in fact, exorcise the demon from your home. No, it never left.
And who’s the idiot? Why, you are, of course!
“Why didn’t they just leave the house? Why didn’t they call 911? Why did they go down that dark corridor?? Stupid!”
So are you. And everyone knows more than you, can see the demon behind your shoulder that you can’t see.
But you were stupid, yes? Blind, lacking in common sense.
And in a couple years there’ll be another sequel to the horror story. And this time it’s not as good and makes less money. It’s been done before.
And the audience falls away, although the demon keeps returning.
