Psychological horror is more interesting to me than the explicitly physical.

Theres something in human nature that says we need to have at least one symbolic place where chaos and dark desires can live.

Your melancholy. Or depression. Along with nine-tenths of the afflictions I've studied, diagnosed, attempted to treat. Call them whatever you like, but they're just different names for loneliness. That's what lets the darkness in. That's what you have to fight.

We need to kind of refresh our fear in order to refresh our understanding of how a safe place works.
