Why are so many interesting TV shows creepy? I can't watch Torchwood anymore, because there were too many creepy shows in a row. Same with Heroes. *grumble*
Me too. It still freaks me out. Like Crossroad Blues where the faces morphed and twisted into something out of that Scream painting? I, uh, had to watch a lot of Friends before I could go to bed. I think what helps is that for the most part, MOTW is killed off by the end of the ep, so you know it's safe at night. Much like X-files and Buffy was.
I never quite thought of it that way, but that's why I've always preferred MOTW to mytharc in X-Files and Supernatural both.
(Also, it helps a lot when the heroes are hotties. I don't know why, but it really does. So for Supernatural you know that no matter what the pretty boys will live or there won't be a show, so the ick is fine. Of course, getting attached to anyone else is inadvisable.)
