Just a guess - but probably the horror mark counter is a 16-bit integer with 2's complement arithmetic being performed upon it. Probably any value over 32767 (and less than or equal to 65535) is in "negative horror mark" territory, thereby giving the appearance of immunity until sufficiently horror-marked to wrap around into the positive values again.
