Here is a list of fearful things:
The jaws of sharks, a vulture's wings,
The rabid bite of the dog's of war,
The voice of one who went before.
But most of all the mirror's gaze,
which counts us out our numbered days.

Additional quotes by Clive Barker

I don't think an analysis of what he does in the movies ever completely illuminates the charm that the guy has.
