Kids in horror has always been important to me. Perhaps it sounds like a strange principle but, not fishing for sympathy, there were several aspects of my childhood that were very horrific. I always found solace in horror, particularly if I could see myself represented in the film. So, movies like The Shining (1980), The Witches (1990), Child’s Play (1988) and The Lost Boys (1987) were all very important to me as a kid. It gave me a way to reconcile what was happening around me—a way to be healthy in an unhealthy environment.
