  abstract: A stranded group approaches the ancient house where a dim light burns in an upper window. As the full moon rises a pain-wracked man gasps at fur growing on his palms. Thunder crashes and lighting illuminates the operating table lifted into the night sky. Eager for furtive sex on a dark night, a young couple hears twigs snap as an apparition raises a hooked blade above them. Seated in a movie theater, these sights and sounds can only mean you are watching a horror film, paradoxically prepared, even eager to see things that may make you want to avert your eyes. Ominous places, grotesque semi-humans or outright monsters await, ready to make you confront your own fragile mortality.
