In my opinion, horror movies are like taking drugs. Sometimes I know I will be afraid or go to see them. This is also a kind of human psychology. According to experts' analysis, people will secrete a substance to relax after watching horror movies. In senior three, I used horror movies to relieve stress (pervert! ! )。
So terror is only a relative concept, but for an individual, terror sometimes becomes very specific, such as a dark corner, a wet path, another self in the mirror, or an outstretched hand in the toilet. However, if you compare the tastes carefully, you will find that horror movies actually make sense. Some teach you to face your fears bravely, while others tell you not to do anything wrong at ordinary times. When watching a horror movie, as the plot progresses, you will clear the essence of the event and learn something from it. I think this is also the effect that horror movies should have, not only horror, but also people will forget after screaming.
Of course, if you really believe in ghosts and gods, you'd better watch as little as possible to avoid unnecessary influence on life, because the most real horror often comes from life. That's all I want to say. I hope I can answer your doubts.
