Jeremy Dyson It's thrilling to watch people respond to Ghost Stories
Seeing London theatre fans jump during Ghost Stories is rewarding for Jeremy Dyson.

Jeremy Dyson, one of the creators of new West End show Ghost Stories, has said he gets a thrill out of seeing audiences respond to its scariest parts.
The writer told the Metro that doing frightening productions is similar to putting on comedies.
"In the same way there's a thrill sitting at the back of an audience and listening to them laugh, to listen to people responding in those scary places is a big thrill," he explained.
Dyson also revealed that he works in a "glorified shed" in his back garden, but longs for an office decorated with props and movie posters like his colleague Andy Nyman.
In May 2010, Nyman told Spoonfed the aim of Ghost Stories is to create as frightening an atmosphere as possible.
He added that if theatregoers are not jumping in their seats and having nightmares afterwards, he will not be happy.
Ghost Stories is booking at the Duke of York's Theatre until November 7th 2010.
