And with horror more than any other genre, you must not be intellectually lazy. It's stuff like for horror, it's very easy to spot the shortcut because what someone will do is they will write a taboo and then look at the taboo and go, I broke a taboo horror. There's only so many spooky things that you can write. We 100% are not talking about being original. Weirdly, horror is one of the genres where I feel like you thinking about it in terms of originality is actually missing a lot of the point.
