People Enjoy Viewing Horror Movies

By Adriana Noton


Some people have tried to understand why horror movies have such an allurement. There does not appear to be any age bracket which is not involved. There is one emotion, however, that is captured when viewing these films, with which practically every individual seems to agree: they make you scared. This does insinuate that fear must be an enjoyed emotion, for some people.

Several films have an element which works to alarm movie goers. That element is screaming. Actresses who can scream like crazy, are employed to help move the viewers toward being afraid. Nothing pierces the walls of an auditorium, like the shrill sound of a female victim. This works to cause some in the audience, to scream, as well.

More than a century ago, these cinemas came into fruition. Some one may have decided to cash in on the fears with which we grew from childhood. The covers upon our beds, were impenetrable pieces of armor, once we buried our heads within the folds. That huge, ugly creature, waiting to grab our feet as we rose from our resting places, had no chance, once the morning sun touched our windows.

Getting home safely was another chilling factor, when we had to stroll, in darkness, from the abodes of our comrades. Our hearts would jump into our throats, as we recognized a shadow in our paths. Our feet would move quicker, as we looked over our shoulders, praying never to feel the sharp claws of some unknown beast; waiting to pounce. You know the movie makers felt these exact same feelings.

As much as we may feel sorry for the victim, there are facts which can pull at our souls about the criminal. He may have gone through repulsive experiences which are unspeakable. This may have affected him in a way where he can not trust any person. Therefore, for his hatred of those atrocities, he kills others so that he will not be hurt again.

Men are definitely great fans of these cinemas. Often the quarries are nude, huge breasted women, who run away from the bad guy, only to trip, and get caught. If a man realizes he will see some naked women, he is more inclined to pay for the privilege. It does not matter if she will be killed, gutted, or chopped up, the more nakedness, the better.

Apparitions make good fodder for this class of cinema. Down through the centuries, numerous individuals have told the tales, through which they have gained their fears. Some have experienced deceased loved ones, who have visited them in their dwellings. Others have been attacked by entities they can not explain. Their encounters have been recorded in written form, and then transformed into films.

Horror movies have found a following all through the ages. Whether we admit it or not, there is an attraction which many of us can not explain. We can not look away from the gore, or the chances of viewing something very taboo. However we feel about these pictures, they are part of our communities, and will probably never die. Good, or bad, their fans are numerous, and willing to pay the extra cash to view the next one.
