People are always seeking new thrills.
Just like plants wanting to draw nutrients from farther, deeper places, we grow tired of the ground we've already tread. However much those sensory stimulants once made our hearts pound and our pulses race, the zest is always leeched out like the flavor from chewed gum. At that point, we take a final taste and then spit them out without a second thought.
The failed researcher, the forgotten horror novelist, and the human who outlived his usefulness were spat out along with them. He lived in a cramped and messy studio apartment and scraped by on fast food and second-hand retail.
"But they were wrong, my clever boy. "
His grandfather—the best in the world, who taught him the beauty of technology and reason and brought warmth into the home—gave him a wink.
"We'll love these awful movies until the day we die. "
"We'll love these awful movies until the day we die! " the boy cheered.

Above Logic and Reason
Pandora Wilson: What made you so infatuated with 80s horror films? From a standpoint of logic and reason—
Horropedia: They're so preposterous and wild that they couldn't possibly happen—they're the antithesis of logic and reason... Is that what you mean?
Pandora Wilson: It sounds like you already understand what I'm getting at then.
Horropedia: Aha! Well, you're dead wrong there, ma'am.
Horropedia: Not only do they have rigorous internal logic, but once its rules are grasped, survival is possible even in the bloodiest, darkest places. It supersedes logic and reason. One could say that logic and reason in humanity were born out of fear.
Pandora Wilson: Do you believe fear is the root of our problems?
Horropedia: No! But very close! Fear is an instinct, like a catalyst that drives us to find solutions to problems, be it logic, reason, or passion... 80s horror films take this truth and display it plainly to the audience.
