"A knife is a personal extension of our arms" and are more favourable to horror movie killers as the deaths are more personal, up close and intimidating rather than using a firearm. In a lot of horror films involving knives all the antagonists rarely part from their weapons in a way making them part of the character.
We take inspiration from Stuart Kaminsky as he created the weapon theory in horror. We will probably use a hand to hand weapon in our OTS.
