What do you think of recent trend of horror series not name dropping whatever creatures they are featururing like how in The Walking Dead they never refered to them as zombies, or how in Midnight Mass they never explicitly stated it was a vampire despite it was glaringly obvious. I think it's a little try hard in some areas but great under the right conditios depending on the atmosphere more than anything. I wasn't going to namedrop Sasquatch, or Bigfoot in mine just because it adds a little sillyness.

The amount of freedom you had on offer must've been absolutely insane.
