Cautionary tales are nothing to be afraid of. I think this is something completely misunderstood by people who don't watch enough horror movies. You don't watch The Walking Dead and think "Don't open that door! Don't open the door!!!!" You watch it and *know* that if you were there, you'd open the door, too. The trick is how you would do it and what it means to do it.
