Feeding the Monster Quotes

“The power of horror lies in its confronting viewers with images and ideas that reach into our darkest, deepest fears and expose them. We're all afraid of many things at different times, and horror movies draw on those fears. They don't just reflect our fears back to us; they articulate them, turning our anxieties, fears and hungers into sensory experiences, extracting them and splattering them on a screen for us to witness, surrounded by strangers. It makes visceral everything we are told we don't, or should not, feel, all those feelings that we've been instructed to keep quiet about.”
― Anna Bogutskaya, Feeding the Monster: Why Horror Has a Hold on Us
