The genius of Tom Green is that he has no fear. His fearlessness isbrilliant. Eating worms, offending his parents, yelling in strangers'faces-nothing bothers him. Letterman used to have no fear, but then he gotpopular and grew some.

Great comedy is built around a lack of fear, or a maniuplation of fear. Youmight think that this would make The Haunting funny, but it doesn't. A stupidscript is what makes The Haunting funny.
