People enjoy being scared because it feels exciting and fun, like riding a roller coaster. When you watch a horror movie, your brain thinks something dangerous might happen, but you know it's not real. That mix of fear and happiness makes the experience feel special.
Examples
- A child loves jumping into a haunted house even though it’s just pretend.
- A person laughs when the ghost jumps out of the closet, even though they were scared for a moment.
- After being startled by a loud noise in the movie, someone cheers and says, 'That was fun!'
