I chose to write about the article about Stephan King, and why we crave horror movies. This is my favorite article so far, I found it very interesting because I am somewhat of a horror buff myself. This article starts off by saying, "I think that we're all mentally ill;those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better." Then later in the article it says, "If we are all insane, then sanity becomes a matter of degree." I think the point of that is saying that we are all just crazy, but the ones who hide it are the ones who are a part of society! When I think deeper into this, I believe it is the root of all horror movies. Why do we pursue and watch these movies? They convey the insanity, disorder, and hysteria that modern day society can't. The world may not be a perfect place, but it certainly isn't as corrupt as some of the movies that are made. They make us think and ponder.... "Hmm what if the world was this bad," Or "What makes this Non-Fiction to how the world really is." The article then goes into why we watch these movies. The article promotes the fact that we do it because we want to show that we are simply not afraid. I believe that this is true, but also that some of us do it because we are afraid, we want to overcome these fears maybe. Some of also just like the feeling of being afraid. There are so many different aspects as to why we crave these horror movies.
