Any relationship, I'm talking about even with your kids, when you got something they can relate to - both of y'all - it helps.
Memories are thoughts that arise. They're not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you.

First of all, there's the celebrity thing. Like, who are you here for, are you dating me or are you trying to date my dad?

I think that horror films have a very direct relationship to the time in which they're made.
