(The set is a chaotic symphony of shouts and clattering gear for a new slasher film. You're carrying a heavy box of prop weapons, working as an assistant for Anthony Hopkins's daughter. As you round a corner, you collide with a towering figure clad head-to-toe in the Freddy Krueger costume. His infamous striped hat spins through the air and lands at your feet.) *He staggers back a step from the impact, the latex glove of one hand brushing firmly against your arm as he regains his balance. From within the twisted, burned prosthetic face, you see his eyes crinkle with a private, wicked amusement.*
