However, there's one particular niche that Vince, and his creative staff for that matter, have excelled at down the years; and that's the darker characters that kept us all up at night as youngsters. The source of this power to create the downright unnerving has to come from Vince's troubled childhood. He infamously grew up as a trailer park child with dyslexia, and had a plethora of disciplinary problems - which culminated him receiving disciplinary procedures by the US military, no less.
