It's like the authors were embarrassed to simply say "I like horror movies and here's why". The piece on David Lynch's films was a total bore as the author only speaks about how Lynch sold out like some outraged fanboy accusing George Lucas of ruining Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631388281199815121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-628505489451473422011-01-30T07:32:21.377-08:002011-01-30T07:32:21.377-08:00Ha - fair enough point!

I'd never seen the movie before, but that really persuaded me to check it out.<br /><br />I agree that Skipp and Spector's piece was the highlight, but I also liked Stanley Wiater's "Disturbo 13".

I love documentaries and behind-the-scenes type features that let you take a look at what goes on in the minds of the creative forces behind some of these pieces. Like you, I really dig that quote by Campbell. Sometimes the most frightening things are the simple day-to-day chills that unsettle us in the most intimate of ways.
