Horror films have always been quite operatic for me. I always sort of scratch my head at people's offense to them. If you don't get them, and you don't like them, then don't watch them.
Dr. Lecter would have more sustenance on the spacecraft from Alien because there are more people to eat. I think he'd get hungry after a while in the Overlook - I can't imagine him eating canned food.
There's usually a few people who are like, "Say... what would that look like on our channel?" Interest can be expressed without directly expressing interest.
I love that India has declared dolphins non-human people with all laws that apply to human. I'm fascinated with the alien-ness of that.
People who have passion for horror stories, their appreciation/my appreciation is looking at it as opera.
