Read about scary movies

When people watch a horror movie their reactions are different. While many screamed and some even fainted in cinemas at scenes of spinning heads and shaking beds, others simply laughed. If I had to choose just one great horror soundtrack from the 1970s, I’d go for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Today’s scary movies are direct relations to the 70s exploitation flicks in style. This novel approach to emotion reveals that people experience both negative and positive emotions simultaneously — people may actually enjoy being scared, not just relief when the threat is removed. The real terror of “The Exorcist” may not involve Satan and possession, but the helplessness of a parent trying to save a child.
