Why do we consume horror in the first place?
- Exposure to terrifying acts, or even the anticipation of those acts, can stimulate us
- Fright can trigger the release of adrenaline, resulting in heightened sensations and surging energy
- Another reason we seek horror is to gain novel experiences
- Being adventurous in this way makes us feel more worldly or daring
- Horror entrainment may help us (safely) satisfy our curiosity about the dark side of human psyche.
