The Anything Blog

Are you a big fan of horror movies or a big hater? 

Personally I love watching horror movies even though I get scared of everything, so this weeks blog I did some research on why people enjoy watching horror movies. The most common reasons are social bonding, thrill seeking, being curious and adventure seeking, and boredom susceptibility

Some cool facts I learned through this lengthy article

1.  Horror movies use more diegetic sounds to create more suspense then just blood and gore.

2. Music is a huge influence to the emotions expressed on the screen and allow us to interpret how we see it.

3. The startle reflex can be activated when individuals anticipate danger

4. A common one is having trouble falling asleep after watching a horror movie

5. Those with highly reactive amygdalae may fear or enjoy horror more than those with less reactive amygdalas
