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!
The Thrill of Being Scared Even when something scary happens in the movie, you get to laugh about it afterward, that’s what makes it exciting.
Examples
- A kid watches a scary movie and hides behind the couch, but then laughs when it ends.
- A group of friends watch a horror film together and scream at every jump scare.
