Social Why do people need horror movies ?

I mean even down to Sire David Attenborough shows. Sad things don't have to be all about fluffy bunnies and unicorns.

One of the best things I've ever seen was one of the first scenes in The Boys
where she was blown up and her hands were left in his hands
 
I used to love rollercoasters, went to Santa Cruz few months ago and absolutely lost the plot, could barely cope with the sky ride. One of them, I was actually in tears. I couldn't cope with it at all. Absolutely scared witless.
It's funny how seasons change. Before getting on roller coasters I was deathly afraid of them, but after my first loop-de-loop I was stupidly fearless. I wanted to go on rides that had reportedly killed people, and now when I think about dying on a roller coaster I think it's a pretty asinine way to check out.

I managed the log flume thing because, know it sounds stupid, I like the getting wet bit at the bottom, but I thought I was going to have a coronary on this in the video. And, like I said I used to love them. That thing where it spins around and the floor drops due to velocity? Loved it. The thing where you're up in the air and then it drops really fucking quick? Loved it.
I didn't think I was going to survive after this, I had to sit down for a bit after I Got off.
 
So you just watch chick flicks and musicals? Nothing where any of the characters die? Nothing sad?
to be fair.

la la land is a great movie, perhaps one of the best. and deserved all the oscars but was robbed by moonlight just for diversity.

Fear in of itself isn't a bad thing, in fact it's a healthy experience for people to go through, especially children as they're growing up.
When you're not constantly worrying about where your next meal is coming from, or peering over your shoulder constantly to check if any wild animal is lurking, I think your mind begins to conjure up your own little monsters to keep you terrified.

It's no wonder ghost stories began to boom around the Victorian age when the middle class suddenly grew rapidly.

Most of that no platforming/cancel culture crap you see today is people trying to get away from anything that challenges their worldviews, an inability to face their fears and skirt away from the above.
 
Without the horror part, it's just soft core porno?

I would argue its really social liberalism becoming conservative who have tried to avoid facing opposing viewpoints for decades.

One that kind of subject I think you could argue horror was always the most progressive genre, it was the genre were actresses most consistently got lead/big roles in popular films with Rosemary's Baby, Carrie, Halloween, Alien, The Shining, Terminator, etc. That perhaps also plays into why horror is so popular, its very emotionally intense in its nature which is why it tends more towards female leads who audiences will accept wide emotional range from more easily and arguably empathize for more strongly.

I thought horror movies existed so your dates would get scared and cuddle up close to you. At least that's how it worked in high school.
 
Ghosts demons monsters aliens bigfoot do not exist in real life.
 
This is a strange thread. OP seems to suggest that its morally wrong to like the horror genre because of all the violence and tragedy exist in real life .
