Witnessing horror, like riding a roller coaster, stimulates a chemical in our brain that is a mixture of both danger (fear of violent death) and pleasure (our personal safety). Some find their comfort zone (e.g., Hammer horror, the Aliens franchise) and stick with it while others need their thrill constantly ratcheted up like a drug addict.
Eventually the supernatural may not satisfy their craving and they may expand to the smut and torture horror films you describe (as well as less savory mediums) to get a "fix."
