People love horror movies because they feel safe when they’re scared. Imagine you're playing hide and seek, the more fun it is to be found, the more exciting the game becomes. Horror movies are like that: they scare you, but you know you’re not really in danger. It’s a little like having a monster chase you while wearing pajamas.
Examples
