Still, Strong is rightfully proud of the work he did in portraying the film's scary villain.

 

"We talked about it and realized that the fun stuff is only gonna work if it's book-ended by really terrifying stuff, and the terrifying stuff is only gonna work if the fun stuff is really irreverent," Strong told ComicBook.com in an interview featured in the video above. "And it's no accident, I think, that that balance takes the fun stuff to kind of a place that we've-- it's almost more fun than I've ever seen before, and the same with the darkness, it's gotta go that, it's gotta be properly scary, and the fact that he comes from a horror background was to my benefit. I have to say I feel completely supported by a guy who knows how to make an individual scary."

 

In the end, it comes down to offering up a feeling of genuine stakes. "The goal was to set up the bad guys as a real threat, so you really, when the kids are threatened you believe it," director Sandberg explained. "They could actually get hurt or even die you know, I think that's important in a movie, to really set up the stakes and stay true to that."
