I do wonder if that's why people view "creative" or "artistic" types as being a little odd, because we slip into spaces that freak people out. Anyone can wonder how a conman would pull this off or where a serial killer would get rid of a body, but most people don't want to accept that they can think so darkly. Or that those who are serial killers or mutilators or Attack of the Clones fans aren't so different from "normal" folks -- or at least, not so different that their actions can't be fudged or mimicked for a story.
