In my opinion, adolescents and adults are drawn to watch
horror movies just like how children are pulled by fairy tales. As children, we see the antagonist in every
fairy tale as the character that robs the heroes and heroines of their happy
endings. However, throughout the plot, they are the characters that provide
excitement to keep the audience interested in the story.
The same goes for horror movies, I believe. Horror films
give the excitement that is normally absent in everyday life. It provides story
lines that delve into alternate realities where events or characters of our
imaginations come to exist in a place one may find safe and comfortable, and is
shown in picture.
After watching a horror film, audiences may feel
thrilled, nervous, even scared. However, it usually depends on the type of
horror film what the viewer feels afterwards. The subjects of these movies usually
linger with the audience, which causes the fear that the events in the movies
may happen in real life. The fear that audiences feel may stay with them temporarily
or for an extended time period. Sometimes, permanent fear towards these things
may arise. This, however, does not stop most people from viewing these movies.
