I love this line from Castle

There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people. Psychopaths and mystery writers. I'm the kind that pays better.

I would say this applies to writers of all kinds. After all, we all think about killing characters every once in a while, and to do it right, it takes a lot of thought, even if it is just to have a character die in a crash off screen or something simple like that.

Of course, any one who reads my stuff knows that, much like horror writers, I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. After all, have to make each death unique.
