Personally I think that its psychological in many ways, from the chainsaw wielding maniac, to the silent stalker who chases you, always walks and is always one step behind no matter how fast you run, to the person that looks normal that is a complete psychotic Aka Hannibal Lechter. The villians have the power people want that, villians are far more interesting and the people that watch the films always root for the villian because in the movies they can do things that we cant. Some of us would love to live forever, like a vampire or change into a werewolf or be that intellegent maniac who eludes the police. Of course in the movies they all have their ways that they must suffer to be the way they are. Also I think that in a way horror films make us more comfortable with our own mortality, you know its like hey at least I know I wont have my soul swallowed by demons like that guy did in the film. Hope this kind of helps.
