RE: The Thrill Of Horror Movies & Rollercoasters: Why Do We Enjoy Being Scared?
Pretty cool study.
I've never really enjoyed scarey movies, especially particularly dark ones. But I like some dark movies that don't have that fright factor.
OTOH, I love rides. Well, I used to, but it's been a few years. I never thought of them as scarey so much as thrilling and exhilarating. Sometimes wifey would join me and have tears running down her face. I'm just focused and anticipatory.
Interesting, yes we really all react differently to fear / anticipation. I can definitely understand liking the thrill of a rollercoaster!
