that makes a ton of sense to me. i’m not a fan of “horror” per se, and have had little interest in the genre until recently (last year, i mean 2016, when i asked you guys what horror movies to watch, and actually had a blast with some of them.) so i can see why i didn’t find him appealing in the past.

i might take a look at it again for shits and giggles. or scares. and see what happens.
