Why Is Being Scared So Much Fun?

In English class we read an article called Why Do Some Brains Enjoy Fear

written by Allegra Ringo,from The Atlantic magazine. It is about, humans and why we

love to be scared or why we don't like to be scared. The concept is very interesting,

because it is weird that humans enjoy the thrill of someone jumping out at them or

seeing something awful and terrifying. The main question people wounded is how and

why we enjoy or don't enjoy this rush of energy when we are scared. The answers are

not exactly all the way figured out, but we do know some information. In our bodies we

have these chemicals, hormones, that produces different forms …show more content…

We didn't

know who he was and what to do. We were freaked out, so we called her mom and she

said go to the back room and stay there and to let the dog out into the living room. We

them let her dog, Boo, into the living room and she went crazy. She kept barking until

the guy finally got scared and left, she sounds scary but she really isn't. So I definitely

think theme parks and be scary when it comes to stuff tat relate to what happened to

Megan and I.

I think things that violate the law of nature scare us, because it is not normal.

When company makes something that isn't normal for humans we are so curious about

it. If a company makes a zombie movie or theme park. It can be scary, because when

we die we don't turn into zombies. It can be funny, exciting, and scary all at the same

time. So even though it may violate the laws of nature. I think the should still price

content like this.

I think we have only started to scare each other as we do now, because as our

society grows so do our ideas. Some are good ideas and some are bad ideas. I think

that once one person made a scary film, and everyone loved it. More

  • Essay On Special Effects In Horror Movies

    1024 Words  | 5 Pages

    Special effects have helped to draw in a broader audience to horror movies due to the incredible realism and improved storytelling that filmmakers have been able to include. According to an article published by Mark Griffiths, Dr. Deidre Johnson conducted a sample of 220 American adolescents, where the four primary reasons why people were motivated to watch horror movies were gore watching, thrill watching, independent watching, and problem watching and that “each of these four viewing motivations are found to be related to viewers’ cognitive and affective responses to horror movies.” With there being a variety of ways for people to enjoy horror movies, special effects have allowed for each of these four viewing motivations to be enhanced with better realism, and improved storytelling to keep all audiences interested and intrigued. According to an article published by Jody Keisner, a professor at the University of Nebraska, said that “Creators of horror movies rely on quintessential fact, and because of it, special effects have become the horror movie’s means to survival and popularity”(413). The inclusion of special effects has allowed for horror movies to appeal to a vaster audience and has allowed for filmmakers to test the boundaries of special effects with the use of more blood and gore.
