Why We Crave Horror Movies?

            After I read the author Stephen King’s article, I thought the reason that he showed to us why we crave horror movies was that we released ourselves when we were watching horror movies. We get a lot of stress from our lives and some horror and insane elements of horror movies urge us to put away our more civilized and adult penchant for analysis and to become children again, seeing things in pure blacks and whites.

            I was fascinating when I was reading King’s assertion that “if we are all insane, the sanity becomes a matter of degree”. Actually I have heard a lot of sentences same as this one. For example, if you are correct but everyone say that you are wrong, then it will be a truth. I think this is the reason why people said “The truth is always on the side of the minority”. There is ancient idiom “Three people spreading reports of a tiger makes you believe that there is one around” in China. This one also told us if too many people confirm one thing, though that thing is bad or wrong, it can also be the truth. So I am surprised that I have the same viewpoint with this author.

            Although there are many different countries, cultures and believes in this world. But when people are facing some situations that they want to try but never tried before, they will be crazy about joining those situations and enjoy themselves. Everyone has curiosity so that humans’ society can develop. For horror movies, people never do some things as they watched from the movies so that they are very curiosity about the information of horror movies. These movies attracted people so much because they can bring to ancients some different impression of this world or even make them feel a new world that they never seen before.
