"The third movie normally jumps the shark so still wanting to explore (say) America through the toy-version of our apartment, we imagined America as a haunted place haunting us, a very current events feeling of course, which is easy to mainline. But with the help of clever books such as ‘Ghostly Matters’ by Avery F Gordon, we saw our lives haunted from a critical social perspective with more depth and distance from the now. Felt freeing, while at the same time safe, to describe the world through horror troupes with the genre’s unconscious, reflective parameters."
