Anyone can write a story based on the kind of horror where you see a guy in car and then there's the bad guy in the back seat. It's infantile to rely on that for telling a story. That's like going to bed and thinking there's a monster under your bed. It's silly.

Summary

The speaker dismisses this narrative approach as juvenile and uncreative, akin to feeling scared of a monster hiding beneath the bed. The quote suggests that true storytelling should evolve beyond these predictable scares and move towards more imaginative and thought-provoking narratives.
