Blogpost 2: "Scare me up!"

As I observed, people pay for cinemas just to watch horror movies which will scare them and make them afraid. Why is that? I wondered why people do that. It's kind of unfair isn't it? Because we paid just to get scared. But the horror movies are so great and exciting that's why we love it.

In addition to that I read an article entitled, "A Curious appeal of Horror Movies" from the site ign.com by Lucy O'Brien. Stated that, We want to see things we wouldn't usually see in our daily lives. Curiosity is a powerful emotion because we are human who gets curious more often. There’s a sense of magnet in horror movies that is very seductive, because from a very early age we are taught that watching horror movies, like porn and cigarettes and pinching the underside of your little brother’s arm to make him squeal, is wrong. Part of the appeal of horror comes down to a basic thrill of seeking out that which we’re not meant to see; It’s a feeling that stays well into adulthood, buried deeply, no matter how world-weary one may grow. It does made an individual remember what made him/her scared from a longer time.

Lucy O'Brien said, "Fiction is how we both study and de-fang our monsters. To lock violent fiction away, or to close our eyes to it, is to give our monsters and our fears undeserved power and richer hunting grounds."  We humans are kind of insane because we let 

horror movies make money. In always seeking that liberation, that dark ride. And we’ll take it any way we can. We love to take thrilling adventures in order to experience new things in like. Like horror movies, this kind of genre makes an individual have of mixed emotions because on how the movie is made. It has drama, sometimes comedy, and thrilling stuff too.

Another article I read entitled, "Why our brains love horror movies" from the site thedailybeast.com by Sharon Begly. Stated that, A 1995 study found that the higher people score on a scale that measures sensation-seeking, the more they like horror films. That may explain why horror movies are most popular with younger audiences. That fades with it comes to age, because especially as people become more sensitive to their own physiology. Middle-aged and older adults tend not to seek out experiences that make their hearts race, because their real life is scary enough. They don’t need to get their scares from movies.

Stuart Fischoff said, "One of the major reasons we go to scary movies is to be scared." We just need to admit that we watch horror just to get scared. It's kinda cliché but that is truth. Also horror varies to teenagers and adults. Teenagers seeks more thrilling adventures than because adults is experiencing problems that they thought that is the thrilling adventure for them. It's okay to watch horror movies you just need to set up limits of imagination in your head.
