- "Fear and desire are the most powerful emotions in the human race and fear and desire of the unknown is probably the most ancient. You're dealing with stuff that everybody has felt; from being little babies we're frightened of the dark, we're frightened of the unknown. If you're making a horror film you get to play with the audiences feelings" -- John Carpenter
Modern philosophy is the philosophy of fear and paranoia. Kierkegaard was the first to point to fear as a gloomy shadow inseparable from the negation of God.
