  3. Strange how in the physical world, people dread fear! And yet in the "TV" world, fear can be mesmerising! An adrenalin rush!

  5. We all love to be scared - as long as there's no real danger.

  6. So that's where that picture came from! It is a bit disturbing, as are many of the horror films I cannot watch....

  10. I can watch those kinds of movies for hours---and I am constantly talking to the characters--"Don't go down there, you idiot!" Your lines tell the tale, Hank.

  11. I cannot watch these, but I can listen to a friend tell me the entire movie in frame by frame detail without moving from my seat and I am rarely silent! I love art, I am the perpetually gullible viewer, and these movies work on me. So, you posed the argument--but I notice you give few details. Do you watch?

  12. I liked the horror genre better when I was younger I think. :) I still like a good horror story, but I don't like to watch those with gory stuff now.

  16. My daughter (16) loves watching them with her friends. I'll have to ask her about this one
    Me--I was terrified of cartoons as a child.
