For all the horror movies we've watched, you'd believe that in the end we'd have the knowledge to survive. We'd know not to run upstairs and go investigate that weird nosie after our three best friends were murdered by a knife wielding maniac. Shoudl some horror movie become reality, we'd be the geniuses to save the planet!

As for the effect of horror movies, I think fear's important. When I was younger, horror movies terrified me beyond recognition, but I still watched them. I loved being scared. That sort of fear is one of the greatest things I miss from childhood. But that fear has always made me more cautious, too. I always check under the bed before turning in, make sure the closest is empty and pray that if Micheal Myers is alive and kickin', I'm not related to the Myers' family in some way.

Horror movies prepare us for the horrors of real life.
