Horror movies are designed to cause seemingly bad emotions — shock, fear and disgust.  Yet many people want to sit through those films.  Why? Clasen, who directs the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark, made a survey of more than 250 American horror fans with his team, and the responses of those participants revealed three types of fans. 

The first type felt great and were in high spirits. The second type reported some negative reactions to scary movies, and some even had nightmares at first, but they explained that they were feeling like they learned something about themselves at last. The third type of fans seemed to use horror to deal with bad feelings and events in real life. They supported statements such as "Watching horror movies makes me realize that everything in my own life is OK. "

According to previous studies, thrill seekers, who often seek out new and intense experiences, tend to be horror fans. Men also seemed to be slightly bigger horror fans than women. Clasen's teammates didn't think so. "They are stereotypes (老套)," they said. Men are less likely to admit in surveys that they are afraid of horror. Likewise, researchers think it's unfair to paint all horror fans as thrill seekers. What may influence how much people like horror is something called the need for affections. "People differ on that — how much emotion they want in their lives," Clasen explained.

After watching a horror movie, you could be left unsettled and anxious, or you have nightmares, but it may actually help you become more prepared in real life. Horror fans reported lower levels of distress (忧虑) during the pandemic, for instance. "That's because horror movies let people practice negative emotions in a safe setting," Clasen said. "That way, when it comes to scary situations in real life, you know how to react quickly and correctly. "

Good or not, scary movies aren't for everyone. And that's OK. "Monster movies are good," sociologist Margee Kerr said, "because you know that they're not real. " "If you are not ready to watch a horror movie, there are other ways to test yourself. One is writing your own horror-movie story. If you are writing a story about something that you are afraid of, you are taking control of it," she explained. "That can be really helpful. "
