That's why horror movies are the horror for me
Horror movies are the horror for me. I've never been able to look at them and have not been able to learn them even as I grew older. It is still incomprehensible to me how one would like to watch films for relaxation, in which dead children or crazy clowns play the leading role. In the end, most of the main protagonists die, including the whole theater. What excites people to watch movies that are criticized? If they can watch this movie while still being able to eat popcorn in peace, are they probably a sociopath?
I have tried it again and again and have failed miserably. One would like to have a say in his teenage friends, in real life I was never a frightened person? but the previous? enjoyment? horror movies have always disturbed my night's sleep. What have I struggled and thought: At least you can lean on your crush / friend when it gets bad. But it was never worth it. Or the friend / flock was still a bigger Schisser than me. Freddy Kruger, the crazy with the claw-hand from the movie? Nightmare on Elm Street? has given me as sleepless nights as the randomly watched trailer (!) of? The Ring ?.
Three reasons for the horror of the horror
Mankind seems to be divided into two different groups of people: one part can do the horror, the other needs RomCom (romantic comedy) to scare or relax.
But, hurray, for this behavior There are reasons for this behavior, of which the US researcher Margee Kerr has written in her book: Scream: Chilling Adventures in the Science of Fear.
One reason for the fear of fear is the boy, how can it be otherwise. If you associate horror stories with a cuddly environment like the campfire with your parents and siblings or the bed room in the living room, the fear is associated with a pleasant feeling. It creates a mental bridge between fear and pleasure. If that's not the case, horror movies will make it difficult.
Some people also have to feel more? , than others. Yes, that is what the mother always says in the day care center, when her hysterical son ruthlessly pervades. The little Mattis? Feels? then more. He's probably going to love the horror genre as a teen and adult. People with such an emotional system subliminally feel every form of emotion, be it joy, love or fear, as pleasant. The horror on the screen is the right kick for her.
Horror fans, at least most, also draw a lot of energy from a high stress level in real life.
The good news:
Watching horror movies and, above all, enjoying it, you can allegedly learn that. And by doing "funny"? Watch horror movies. According to research, this is not so bad, but the next 90 minutes of horror are getting better and better and will be so resistant to witches, zombies and other undead.
I do not care about stress, do not need to feel overly and for me it will probably continue to be exciting enough to read the plot of the horror film on Wikipedia.
