“Doug Bradley says, “If I am asked the question, ‘Why horror?’ I throw it back, and I ask, ‘Why comedy?’ which floors people, because comedy apparently doesn’t need any justification. Why do we like comedy? Because it’s funny and that apparently is all the explanation we need. So why horror? Because it’s scary, because it’s nasty, because it’s unsettling, because it’s disturbing. So that should be enough reason.”
