But it's getting dark now and I wanna keep watching and WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO SCARY MIKE FLANAGAN, WHYYYYY," while another added: "I hate scary movies and scary shows. Hate. And I really hate Mike Flanagan for making all these brilliant shows that I feel absolutely compelled to watch because they're so good and then I can't go to sleep because I'm too scared. Dammit Flanagan. How dare you."
