Because I am lazy and doing this at the last possible minute I watched the video and that dude can ramble and go complete of topic so a lot of this summery I wrote in parts so if I'm missing an over arcing theme its because I had trouble keeping up. First of the bassist of all horror movie monster are animals found in nature witch we have an instinctual fear of. Second all good horror movies have three characteristics witch are Tension, relevance, and most important is unrealism the last one implies that the audience knows its fake and can enjoy all of the gore knowing it could never happen to them. Currently there are eight theories about why we enjoy horror movies and all of them are proven and disprove becoming a lot like paradoxes in the since that they are both right and wrong making the reason why up to the watcher. Speaking of reasons although there are 4 reason why some one might watch a horror film there is no universal list of reason and there for fall under the same category as the reasons for enjoying although these reasons are widely excepted and are closer to fact at this point. The truth of this matter is we don't know how our brains work so we are just grasping at straws the only sound reason to watch a horror film is to try to find out how we would react to the same situation.
I liked the video and it was realty informative about the reason be hind horror. What I got out of it was we don't know why we like it but we know how to make it so that we do like it (I'm sensing a theme here). In true I think there are two real reason why you would watch a horror film, to drove to your self that you could out last the fat guy in row 5 and because secretly we all want to watch the world burn form a safe distance.
