Do you like to be scared?

I never thought about it. I don't usually go for horror, though I thought that Penumbra used it well, I think of it in the abstract as being similar to a good dramatic tension.

I liked Lovecraft's stories because of the interesting ideas. Having read them I now suspect those ideas of his to be behind a lot of modern horror, including Stephen King's work, (which hardly qualifies as horror itself for the most part.) I also see Lovecraft's work as being a large influence on the story behind Half Life.
