I agree that there is a fantasy aspect to watching horror movies. They remove you from your everyday world into a place where ghosts can be seen and curses play out before your eyes. I also feel, for myself at least, that there is a strong cathartic aspect to them. Horror movies are a socially acceptable way to deal with stress. Idiots in the real world stress me out so I go home and watch idiots go back in the house and get themselves killed. I can't really explain why but horror movies are a great stress reliever for me.
