Darren's+Why+We+Crave+Horror+Movies+journal

I chose this journal because it was interesting to read about why different people go to see such violent material. It was most interesting to read about the psychological reasons why different people go to these types of movies. It also helped me to see a good example of what a classification essay looked liked which helped me while writing mine.

“Why We Crave Horror Movies” Stephen King describes two different types of movie goers. The first type of watchers the King describes is people who go to horror movies for a thrill. These are the type of people who go on rollercoaster rides. These trill seekers go to scary movies to relive stress and to get away from the real world. It is during this activity where people can use their imagination to escape their ordinary lives. The other type of move watchers that go to see horror movies are those who are actually insane. These people go because they need to get their fill of violent material. This supplies certain people with the violence that they need though watching violent actions happen in movies. This viewing will help suppress all hostile actions that these types of people might do. Through certain details we can categorize all people who watch horror films into these two categories. According to the characteristics of each person can determine why they go see horror movies.
