Kill Creek

by Scott Thomas

The Gothic tradition is about secrets, dark secrets, awful secrets, hidden just behind the façade of normality. Modern horror is still heavily influenced by this tradition. But it’s not creepy old castles that hold these secrets anymore. The Gothic has invaded our everyday lives. The old farmhouse in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The suburban Japanese home in The Grudge.

I never thought about this but this is a good point on how horror has evolved.
