I'm driving down the freeway the other day, on my way to Knott's Scary Farm probably, and I hear this report on NPR that the whole lemmings thing was faked in the 1950s. They were shooting a wildlife documentary in the '50s, they found a group of lemmings, and the crew chased them all off a cliff. No lemming has ever jumped off a cliff, purposefully, ever. Isn't that unbelievable?
Cassandra PetersonHorror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.
Cassandra PetersonSince I always go to work as Elvira, maybe a giant version of a cat. A black cat. I love cats and I think Elvira would look really good sitting on one.
Cassandra PetersonTo me, the scariest movie ever made to this day is The Exorcist. It still scares the living hell out of me, and itโs because of the fantasy element. Itโs the exorcism. Itโs the Devil. Itโs not a guy breaking into your house trying to torture you or cut your whatever off. Those kinds of movies donโt do it for me, and I donโt call them horror.
