So Jack, I've noticed a trend as the years go by and especially now that like throw, watching throwback horror movies and stuff has become really popular.
And thinking back about my childhood, I've noticed that horror movies and the decorations that we use for Halloween and stuff, they've become more and more extreme and like gory or just scary.
Like, it's become way more realistic.
And I see movies from like the eighties or even before then, and I'm like, was this supposed to be scary?
Because to me, like, it kind of seems cheesy.
And I didn't know if that was part of the appeal.
But what do you think?
I'm sure you grew up watching some of the classics like, um, I guess you must have seen it and stuff like that.
I saw the it, the original made for tv it, which actually is kind of in some ways I find the older movies, like, even though they look more ridiculous, like they look, they don't look as realistic as the modern special effects you look.
But there's a creepy element to it.
I don't know what it is, but it's something about using puppets or the fakiness of it.
How it doesn't look real kind of creeps me out more than the hyper realistic violence and realism that we see today.
I can give you an example, like a George Romero movie.
He's the one that did night of the Living Dead.
So he's the kind of created the whole zombie genre.
He was a director in the, I guess, sixties and seventies.
Eighties George Romero.
And then I went and watched a movie called I am legendary with Will.
Yes.
