Tyson has a soft spot for horror films, and especially the old classic horror films.
Generally Tyson avoids negative films, as the mood rarely takes him to watch something and when it does, Tyson is usually looking to cheer himself up after a bad day. Trying to escape watching a tortured employee by watching Jigsaw make people torture themselves isn’t going to work.
However, the old Hammer Horror films never fail to cheer Tyson up as he watched so many of them with Jethro; copies that his older brother had smuggled into the manor without their father finding out. He doesn’t enjoy the films, so much as the familiarity of the style.
He’s in a similar place with the Steven King films. He doesn’t think that they’re good and honestly, Tyson isn’t a big fan of King’s writing anyway, but he finds them enjoyable for how frequently they repeat tropes whilst remained unique enough for each to be worth watching.
Those films touch close enough to those bad feelings for Tyson to get his catharsis, without dragging up the memories he’s trying to avoid. There is a pattern to how they work and they feel familiar, safe. Within his control for how far it goes. He can press pause at any time.
