I really liked how the Elder Things were in a way, a metaphor for us. I mean, the average movie going person will go see a horror movie once or twice a year. We go see them in an almost ritualistic fashion, always in the month of October and we're going to see young people die. I even liked how one of the technicians said "we can't go off script" (or something along those lines) indicating that the Elder Things, like us, want to watch the same thing again and again without change, I mean that's how we got 7 Saw films in as many years.
