imo, one of two things LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 14/09/2010 05:24:45 AM
1) the anticipation and build a monster is given (like ironclad was talking about)

2) Something we're vaguely familiar with and is usually comforting of positive, being twisted so that it's no longer the same, and in a negative ominous way.
