Horror Movies


            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.
