Haha so I'm only familiar with WKUK by title, so I'll have to check it out. :p
I like this point a lot. A friend of mine once told me something like: horror as a genre is easily defined as "What happens to those who look?"
I loved that quote.
Forbidden knowledge is so scary. It's like reading spoilers. Just a glance, and it's in your mind. It's a part of you. How do you cope? You can't just drop it like some cursed object or outrun it like some monster.
We want to know lots of things, I know I always love to learn...but the scariest things are those you don't want to know... But how can you know what these are? You don't know what you don't know yet...
Pardon my ramble. Midnight contemplative brain kicked in. ๐
