Okay, so we're still talking about the video game violence. I went through in the first part what I'm going in with, and I think it's pretty fucking sound. Come at me. Tell me I'm wrong. You know, our old selves, and I mean hundreds, thousands of years old, we lived a violent life all the time, us men, all day, every day. And now we're soft and cushy and pencil pushers, me included. There are some that are out and live a rough and tumble life, but even those rough and tumble lives are a lot softer than they used to be. So the simulated violence is kind of our genetic need for that stuff because violence was built in us and for survival reasons. So we need it. And this is just our cope with our soft lives.

Kepler imagined the Moon as a populated world with an atmosphere and exotic life. He reasoned that the near side of the Moon, which always faces the Earth, is a temperate land, warmed and illuminated during the lunar nights by sunlight reflected from the Earth. But the far side of the moon, which never sees the earth and only sees the sun for two weeks every month, is in turns a scorching desert and a landscape of ice riven by storms, its inhabitants alternately oppressed by the burning rays of the sun and the freezing night of empty space.

But okay, so here we go. I want you to take a look at the first two and zoom in on that. Focus in on that. That's a big deal. Jaws and The Exorcist are way out in front at a billion plus dollars. That is adjusted for inflation. So if those movies were released today and they were as popular today as they were then, then Jaws would have made $1.4 billion. Exorcist would have made $1.3 billion. That's just domestic. That's US and Canada. To understate, you cannot overstate how ginormous those two movies are. Especially in horror.

It's one of the things that I hated about Halloween 2018. I'll tell you right now. Michael Myers was set up to be a force to be reckoned with. The bus scene where he killed all those people brutally with his bare hands. Right? And then when he went to go get his mechanics uniform, you see that guy? His jaw was ripped downward and his teeth were ripped out. So Michael Myers is a gigantic force of nature. And then in the climax of the movie... He literally has a hand-to-hand combat with Laurie Strode. Are you kidding me?

Yes, there are 52 current Amityville movies. Yes, I even watched that one. Actually, most of them are pretty fun. It wasn't really torture. No, I am not mentally stable. Good. Let's dive in.

In that regard, do you feel that being an independent developer allows you to create and take more risks than you could under a bigger group? If so, how is that important when it comes to creating horror games, a niche in the industry? The most memorable titles have been those which work with their own boundaries, where storytellers were trying to create something completely unorthodox. I guess a lot of publishers and companies would rather play it safe so they would secure their income making their products a bit more by the book, and frankly a bit dull.

In Act 1, he just gets everything he wants. The junkie gets all the junk and a little bit of food and, you know, waste disposal and all the rest of it. Act 2, and it could be a short, could be a feature, whatever. Depends on talent. Each act could be only three minutes long. In Act 2... He's given a baby, and now he has to deal with, or she has to deal with being a junkie and taking care of a baby. And then in the third act, it's they have to decide between... Either the baby or their junk. A second drawer opens up and it's impossible to get to both. Somebody's watching. There's a camera outside watching what's happening. And they can only either provide for their own junkie habits or the baby. One or the other. They have to decide. So that's the movie.

When writing horror, it is important to remember your audience. Who are you trying to scare? Horror stories can be tailored for different audiences, and knowing who your target market is will help you focus your story on what will frighten them the most. If you are writing horror stories for adults, then you can use more graphic images and language. However, if you are writing for children or young adults, you will need to be careful with the level of violence and gore that you include in your story. Remember that writing horror is all about scaring people, so make sure that whatever fears or anxieties you tap into are ones that will resonate with your target audience.

Good concept for a movie. Well, there you go. You and AI could make that movie. Write the treatment. you know just film it just do it quit saying that you can't do things and just do them that's my suggestion forget about the whole I can't do it and just do it

By the late 1990s, the golden age of British horror cinema was long gone, but like all the best monsters, the genre has risen from the grave and in the 21st century is going from strength to strength. Developments in video technology and changes in distribution have seen a tenfold increase in the number of British horror films made and released each year. From major studio pictures like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead to cult indies like Freak Out and The Last Whore Movie, the new millennium is a boom time for homegrown horror.
