История разумеется была более комедийной, но сочетание юмора и страха было заложено в ней на фундаментальном уровне.
I would say the initial spark is a feeling I’ve been trying to capture ever since childhood — I always talk about going to this boardwalk in New Jersey in Long Branch. Once a summer, I would go with my family, and when I say I was way too young for it, I mean I was like 6, and this place was lawless and terrifying. But I loved it. I was just so giddy, the anticipation of going in, and I would scream and I would laugh.
And then once we left, I’d run out screaming, but then I would immediately want to go back in again. It was almost kind of a dangerous excitement. I used to get into all sorts of antics when I was young, me and my friends going to check out the abandoned house and then running off, and I just love that feeling because you’re so scared, but you’re laughing so hard, and I just wanted to get that feeling on television.

I used to go to the Museum of Natural History in New York and look at the glass display cases and imagine what it would be like if that was Widow’s Bay. It helped unlock different kinds of things. I’m so glad this is how it turned out.
