Thank you. I'll try.
What is it about horror; movies, fiction... whatever, that draws people in? The old "people like to be thrilled" comparison to the roller coaster, et al, seems lame and unable to cover it. There's something deeper and darker in us - isn't there?
I'd say, "Or am I full of crap?" but I think we've covered that already :-)
I dated a paramedic who loved going to accidents. (yeah) Wasn't remotely bothered by the sight of blood. But couldn't watch a horror film.
Does horror attract us on an instinctive level?
