In "Why We Crave Horror Movies," Stephen King argues that our minds need to be fed by the alligators. By our minds being fed, it gives us the satisfaction of having that unacceptable behavior accepted; such as people being killed. Also, if we watch horror films, it is like we get our fix of the horrible stuff. We love watching it because it is "amusing."
I really enjoyed this article, he did a good job of stating his point and making his readers understand vividly. Half of the things he mentioned, I never even thought of. His points made sense and really connected to my experiences. I especially see how people think people being tortured, killed, ect. is funny and amusing. Some hate watching scary movies, but will pay $10 to watch the newest horror film at the midnight showing just because their friends are going. Horror films are a touchy subject, but most of us love them.
