I guess my final note on this convo: Ummm, "Victorian Gothic seem relatively tame", then you have proven the other point. Saying that modern horror has sex, nudity, etc means absolutely nothing when the source is "comparatively tame". You are pretty much saying Frankenstein wasn't done well in Once because it was practically as tame as the source material and didn't have enough sex, nudity, and violence like in modern horror. That's what I get from what you are saying.

Jekyll and Hyde had some murder.....this show has murder......I don't see your point. It's not like modern horror does anything with source material and it's not like you need to throw sex and nudity, etc into that. As you said, it's about atmosphere and other things, so what's the basis that Once won't have those good aspects? Once has suspense, it can have atmosphere, etc.

Sure in the past, there were different societal flavors, but it doesn't mean that they won't do it justice.
