  to other sorts of scary themes.
  c. They tend to encourage viewers to engage in the willing suspension of disbelief to
  a greater extent than they normally would with other themes.
  d. They tend to encourage a focus on BOTH concrete, visual processing as well as
  conceptual or abstract processing.
