People enjoy horror movies because they feel safe while being scared. It's like playing a game where you know the monster can't come out of the screen and bite you. When the movie ends, you're still happy because it was fun! ## Thrill of Scared Even when something scary happens in the movie, you get to laugh about it afterward, that’s what makes it exciting.
