Summary: In this essay Stephen King proposes three causes for why people crave horror movies. One reason is that people go to horror movies is to prove they can sit through it and are not afraid to watch such types of movies. Another reason people go to watch horror movies is to reassure themselves that they are normal. His final reason is that people enjoy seeing others in danger. He starts of the essay by comparing horror movies to roller coasters. People ride roller coasters to prove that they have the courage to sit through it just like horror movies. He also goes to on to explain that people “crave” horror movies to manage their uncivilized emotions of fear, violence, and aggression. He concludes the essay by saying that horror movies appeal to the “worst in us.” Everyone can, according to King, relate to horror movies.
Opinion: This essay was different. I was surprised by the reasons he gave about why people watch horror movies. I was also surprised about the comparisons he made. But I think it is true that people watch scary movies to say that they can sit through them. I liked the comparison he made to roller coasters because everyone can relate to roller coasters that have scared them. I think its true that he claims people watch horror movies because they want to become children again. It brings out the inner kid in them. The essay went off into tangents that I didn't even expect.
