Why We Watch Horror Movies
Of all of the many different genres of movies, horror seems to be one all on its own. Though not for everyone, horror movies are a fun thrill for those who like the adrenaline of it. In Stephen King’s article “Why We Crave Horror Movies” (1982), he lists some points on why he believes we like to attend these movies and feel scared. In this article, King is right in stating that not a single person is completely sane. We all have a little insanity (or mental illness, rather) and we desire to find such excitement so we can feel less alone in our crazy. He is also correct in writing that people oftentimes go for the thrill, like a rollercoaster. People like to feel excited and full of adrenaline, which is why horror movies are the best route to go.
