Reality is the essence of horror.

What scares you more: the concept of a strange, glob-like monster that might eat you up or the fact that there is a human someone who can destroy everyone and everything you love and not even blink an eye?

What is it that makes the thought of such normal activity that scares us more than the unknown? What is it about these random acts of violence (often planned and well executed) that send shivers down the spine when things like the ghost of an elder nether world creature hell bent to eat humanity just becomes another 1970s japanese horror flick?

I think it is the possibility of what you can become as a human that makes us scared of these “abnormal” people and deeds. I think it is the reality that you and I could have been the one doing these things that scares us more  …

What do you think?
