We all like to show that we can conquer our fear given the circumstance. A horror film can be practice for the real thing or atlas it makes us feel like we are somehow or someway prepared. We all know sick jokes. Sick jokes that we hear from the people we least expected it to come from but it's inside everyone and that's a horror movie job and it does it beautifully. It's job is to deliberately bring the little piece of darkness inside us to surface long enough to be enjoyed and then sends it back inside once the credits show at the end of the…
Why do people have such a strong opinion on horror movies? Anybody you ask about horror are only going to say 2 things about it. People either love horror or hate it, and People who love horror can usually understand why people don't like horror. But when it comes to the people who don't like horror, they have no clue why someone would want to submit themselves to such tragedies. Steven king has proposed three reasons that people love horror, and they are to face our fears, to feel normal, and to have fun and many people feel like these claims are true, but the claim of going to face our fears is wrong.…
Horror movies test us on our fears, desires and mentality. As from the king’s thesis, “the reason we all crave horror movies is because we are all mentally ill”. That gives a point that we need to watch horror movies just to release our tension.Some people prefer horror movies for a different reason. They want to prove to themselves that they are brave and that they fear nothing. People always try to prove certain things true when they are not that sure of themselves. Even though they choose to watch these things, the images are still disturbing for many people.But people have the ability to pay attention as much or as little as they care to in order to control what effect it has on them, emotionally and…

Alfred Hitchcock once said, “The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them” (Alfred Hitchcock Quotes). I do not make horror films, but I do watch them. Similar to Hitchcock, they help me face my fears. Do you associate horror films with your fears? My biggest fears are demonophobia, which is the fear of evil spirits, and taphephobia, which is the fear of being buried alive (Phobia Lists). These phobias most certainly helped in my decision to compare and contrast the horror movies The Exorcist and The Ring, in my opinion, the two scariest movies of all time. The Exorcist and The Ring share a similarity; they both have an evil spirit working to create terror; however, they used completely different mediums to make contact with our world: a human body and technology – a television.…

Books don’t have the limitations of reality and fantasy. Authors have the freedom to create whatever bone-chilling fantasy they want in order to lure the reader into their web of horror. With this in mind, think about how that would help a child. They are at the age where their imagination and creativity are second to none. The careful, plotting words of the author used to bring the scene to life are just that… words. There is no image to help you along, no trailer to see how they move and talk, just the words and your imagination left to run wild. This helps a child develop their creativity. Children can explore the world of supernatural and fantasy without seeing the characters as people want them to see them. They can think of werewolves and vampires as something to be desired instead of feared. On the other hand, some people think that it isn’t good for children to get caught up with books and lose their perception of reality. However, children are children. They aren’t at the point where their biggest fear is a serial murderer or a robber. The author makes this point, “In other words, writing for children means emotionally engaging on their level. Sometimes, that takes creating a fantastical world that, however fearsome it may be, allows children to explore.” Children need to explore however they can before they grow up and get caged in by the expectations and limitations of…
Children believe that the only monsters in the world are hiding in the closet or under the bed waiting for the light to go out; however, once those children grow up the real monsters are seen on the news. Monsters can now be found in the shape of people who can walk into a school of little children and massacre them without a blink of an eye. Some of them can walk into a church and kill the people inside based on the color of their skin. The real monsters are the mass shooters who kill the most innocent and helpless people possible. Lawyers can argue that the killer was not in the proper state of mind; even so, there is evil in the hearts and the minds of people that can look at a child, a teenager, or any helpless group of people and consider…

Now that I really think about these affects I can relate to them. Symptoms such as increased heart rate, stomach pain, and fear of dying I honestly have all these symptoms and it might be because I watch so much horror movies. Also So many people say that it gives us nightmares. I’ve also heard that demons can be passed through the movie to you (Christian’s point of view). Some also say you can become very violent and “possessed” after you have seen a really horror movie. Although some of these may be true this does not stop us from watching these scary movies, in fact it makes us crave horror movies even more.…
Their minds are blurred from what is real and unreal which is when the viewing of a horror movie becomes a problem to the child. Not only do horror movies affect them mentally, and emotionally, but it can also take a physical toll on the body, such as: increased heart rate, insomnia, not wanting to eat, and catching a fever and or the chills. Horror movies affect everyone differently….. Person “A” could watch a horror movie and compare it to riding a roller coaster ride, while person “B” is not thinking of it as a thrill, but is just terrified. It is like this because it all depends on how vulnerable the person is to stress and anxiety. Although people all deal with horror movies differently, in the end, these movies all do have the same negative impacts on the viewer no matter the age. The younger the viewer, the worse the symptoms become later on. It’s easy to say “ well then, i’ll just not let my child watch horror movies anymore! Problem solved.” Well, not exactly.. The television industry has become so lenient with what they are allowing to be viewed on their network, even the kid friendly channels such as Nickelodeon still manages to have vulgar images sneak in on their shows unintentionally, so it almost becomes impossible to get away from. Horror movies affect a child’s mind a perception of violence. Not only does it affect them now, but can carry with them to…
