1 00:17:30,276 --> 00:17:32,236 Horror is absolutely necessary. 2 00:17:32,528 --> 00:17:36,616 Fear is part of our DNA. 3 00:17:37,450 --> 00:17:43,122 We are born with an instinctive sense of fear. 4 00:17:43,372 --> 00:17:50,338 We have to avoid what scares us but if we don't know what scares us, 5 00:17:50,713 --> 00:17:55,218 you won't be able to escape from it. 6 00:29:12,186 --> 00:29:16,148 (Goya) tries, in a crude way, to tell how crazy we are. 7 00:29:16,690 --> 00:29:19,610 That is, in a way, what we do with a horror film. 8 00:30:28,804 --> 00:30:32,140 Goya is fantastic. Goya was the first one. 9 00:30:32,266 --> 00:30:34,305 Goya was the first one of us. 10 00:35:07,165 --> 00:35:11,753 Really, the day of the dead celebrates a festive cycle related to 11 00:35:11,878 --> 00:35:14,881 the production, the life and death, of corn. 12 00:35:15,799 --> 00:35:20,220 And it's the time of abundance, when you can give back to your ancestors. 13 00:35:20,345 --> 00:35:25,767 Since they've been helping you from the ground, because they are buried. 14 00:35:25,892 --> 00:35:31,521 And it's said that in Xochimilco we don't bury men, we sow them. 15 00:36:03,388 --> 00:36:08,685 National culture has been deeply affected by Halloween. 16 00:36:08,894 --> 00:36:13,398 And by these images that are not necessarily part of our culture. 17 00:36:13,607 --> 00:36:17,068 They make it sinister when it isn't. 18 00:36:17,319 --> 00:36:24,451 Nobody would find it logical that you would give an offering to a being that is here to hurt you. 19 00:36:24,993 --> 00:36:29,998 So there is this pressure that says Day of Dead is to be frightened or to be scared. 20 00:36:30,123 --> 00:36:31,500 And it's not like that. 21 00:46:15,458 --> 00:46:19,754 Committing violent and sadistic acts, 22 00:46:25,635 --> 00:46:31,641 So by watching horror films they can vicariously experience it and feel excitement and catharsis. 23 00:46:32,642 --> 00:46:40,385 I'm not the type, but for people with sadistic urges it can provide a release. 24 00:57:23,717 --> 00:57:26,469 Kabuki theatre, as well as Noh theatre, 25 00:57:26,595 --> 00:57:30,432 both originally began as entertainment for commoners. 26 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,895 In order to make the elements of the story easily identifiable, 27 00:57:35,604 --> 00:57:39,232 the characters on the stage are presented in a fixed figure or form. 28 00:57:39,482 --> 00:57:44,070 Most of the time, ghosts appear in a white kimono. 29 00:57:44,362 --> 00:57:49,910 Ghosts are just humans. People. 30 00:57:50,035 --> 00:57:54,956 They represent the darkness that we carry inside. 31 00:57:55,148 --> 00:58:03,160 What humans are most afraid of is nature. Natural phenomena. Such as the dark or snakes. 32 00:58:46,533 --> 00:58:53,206 Women are not able to express themselves aggressively through violence like men, 33 00:58:53,415 --> 00:59:00,714 meaning they have all these negative feelings swirling inside, which is scary. 34 00:59:00,922 --> 00:59:11,182 And then when they die in that state, even after they die, their grudgeful spirit remains. 35 00:59:11,433 --> 00:59:17,022 In Japanese Buddhism, when you kill something 36 00:59:17,397 --> 00:59:20,775 there will be karmic retribution. 37 00:59:21,192 --> 00:59:24,237 Horror has perhaps been used to 38 00:59:24,362 --> 00:59:27,449 teach this concept of retribution. 39 00:59:27,699 --> 00:59:33,330 That type of spirit has endured as one of 40 00:59:33,955 --> 00:59:38,335 the most frightening things in Japanese culture. 41 01:00:20,251 --> 01:00:26,549 In around 1997-98 a Japanese horror film 42 01:00:26,675 --> 01:00:31,221 called "The Ring" was released in cinemas. 43 01:00:31,346 --> 01:00:35,798 I heard that when "The Exorcist" was released in the US, 44 01:00:36,099 --> 01:00:39,198 it caused panic at the theatres. 45 01:00:42,423 --> 01:00:45,676 The same kind of thing happened when 46 01:00:45,802 --> 01:00:48,249 "The Ring" was released in Japanese cinemas. 47 01:04:08,104 --> 01:04:11,357 Evil Dead is a movie you have to watch with friends. 48 01:04:11,482 --> 01:04:14,444 You have to get a video... it's better in video than in the theatre. 49 01:04:15,111 --> 01:04:19,157 You get a VHS. A bad quality VHS. 50 01:04:19,365 --> 01:04:24,537 Put it on the TV, lots of popcorn, pizza, beer. 51 01:04:24,787 --> 01:04:29,042 All of that together becomes a party. 52 01:04:29,125 --> 01:04:31,753 There's nothing more fun than everybody screaming together. 53 01:05:06,412 --> 01:05:09,832 Initially when I was developing the first Resident Evil, 54 01:05:09,958 --> 01:05:13,336 there wasn't much of a puzzle solving element to it. 55 01:05:13,711 --> 01:05:20,718 In the early stages the game was a straight forward action-survival shooter 56 01:05:21,844 --> 01:05:25,390 and became overly simplistic. 57 01:05:25,848 --> 01:05:31,479 In thinking of the world of the game, I wanted to include 58 01:05:31,604 --> 01:05:35,441 puzzle-solving elements. By doing that 59 01:05:36,067 --> 01:05:41,831 we tried to expand and enhance the gaming experience for players. 60 01:12:28,521 --> 01:12:31,565 Fear is not necessarily a bad thing, I think. 61 01:12:31,691 --> 01:12:36,445 I believe that it is good to know the existence of scary things. 62 01:12:36,737 --> 01:12:39,782 Why are scary things considered to be bad? 63 01:12:39,907 --> 01:12:44,745 Creating scary stories is totally different from hurting or cheating people. 64 01:12:44,870 --> 01:12:46,997 Horror stories used to be a part of general education. 65 01:12:47,123 --> 01:12:50,126 People learned about the wide scope of this world through horror stories. 66 01:15:30,494 --> 01:15:35,040 Why horror? One thing I can say about the nature of horror; 67 01:15:35,124 --> 01:15:41,422 it is like a mystery that can never be solved. 68 01:15:41,755 --> 01:15:44,717 It's sort of like a perpetual history. 69 01:15:44,842 --> 01:15:50,185 And I think if the mystery of horror is solved, it loses its fascination.
