- ... that aren¡¦t always contained in horror movies. In the episode ¡§Dead Man¡¦s Party¡¨, the show deals primarily with the undead (a vampire appears near the beginning of the episode, and has very little effect on the story). Mythology is also applied in the form of a Nigerian mask, which raises the dead. Mythology has not always been applied in horror movies that use such creatures, but most movies that ... in Buffy the Vampire Slayer cuts are used all the time. There is a scene in ¡§Dead Man¡¦s Party¡¨ where we cut into pitch darkness, whereas a fade could have been used to good effect, but I think the reason we cut instead is in order to create an anti-climax, because the cut is made during an intense battle between the characters and the undead.

This opens the door once again to allow him to justify the necessity of their actions and the reasoning behind them.

- 216: Mrs Dalloway
- ... shows the extent to which poetry was on the writer's mind: ``I think I grow more & more poetic'' (Diary 2.304).
