Taking part in the Paleyfest festival in New York, Quentin Tarantino remembered that he was scarecrow in childhood. According to the famous director and the scenario, the reality always seemed to him much more terrible than the most sophisticated movie in the horror genre. For the first time Tarantino experienced inclusive fear, when at night he had a chance to see the news program about the most dangerous criminals of Los Angeles:
These were police news, which said: "These are wanted criminals from our city. Have you seen them? " Then they showed photos from the dossier of one of the criminals, accompanying this description by his terrible atrocities: "He wanders somewhere nearby. If you see it, do not even try to delay it, and immediately call the local police department. " I was then five or six years old, and until the end of that night I was afraid that this guy bursts into my house and kill my whole family. In the future, nothing scared me as this report. Right before the appearance of the Manson's family in Los Angeles, the maniac, who killed people with a hammer. This guy led me to horror!

According to him, when at the age of 14-15, he looked alone in the cinema Horror Dario Argento "Blood-Red" (1975), it remained under the strongest impression.
