Kids back then: they were afraid of Godzilla.
Me back then: I devoured tons of horror movies, including those with Freddy Krueger, Chucky, and Pennywise (from the early 90s), and I asked for more of that stuff.
Now, I'm like a drug addict, watching all sorts of scary movies, and I'm wondering: "When will something actually be scary?"
I'd say that, considering the ending of The Penguin, he's even scarier. Because you can encounter such complete scumbags in real life.
