...Halloween to Hostel, tend to begin with young people having sex-play, then kill them off.

"We're pretty tough-bred people that do this," he says...
...they agree can be revealing. When the conversation turns to childhood pets and I mention a beloved one-eyed dog, they all make empathetic faces, but Maguire, 36, gets teary, Robison, 33, laughs at her sister's sensitivity, and Maines, 31, says she would have poked around the empty socket "just to check it out."
