take for example, norman bates. anyone who has seen psycho knows that at least half the suspense came from the anticipation of when norman's off-puttingly helpful, overly-gracious and sinisterly well-meaning facade would crack to reveal the sociopath beneath. well, try having him serve you lunch at the cracker barrel. yep, over some green beans and a nice iced tea, i must admit his every passing, every glance and inquiry made me start in my seat and reply as curtly as it was politely possible. creepy doesn't even begin to go there. ::bristle::
