At three in the morning, I woke to my wife screaming and only then realized I was hunched over his empty crib.

    Thats not fiction? Are you being confused/upset because there are still places on the internet where people have fun and are trying to get away from politics?

    Fictional horror is fun specifically because its fiction. The real life horrors are gut wrenching and almost disabling.

      Even if I did know it was horror, murdering pets and their own children would be a little fucked up as far as I’m concerned but you do you. But I think it is pretty unfair to Sleepwalkers if you ask me. Several percent of the population sleepwalks and none of them generally murder pets or infants.

        And as we all know, fiction is only supposed to include things that happen in real life… especially the horror genre, no imagination there, just real stuff that really happens, hence the word fiction. I’ve never seen anything in a fictional horror movie or story that can’t happen in real life…
