The horror genre addresses our archetypal fears.
People enjoy excitement, even if it’s from a negative source.
People who seek higher levels of arousal thoroughly enjoy the response — heightened feelings of awareness — their bodies have to intense experiences. These experiences range from watching horror films to skydiving and bungee jumping. “High sensation-seekers enjoy morbid curiosity in general and horror movies in particular. High sensation-seekers enjoy levels of arousal higher than that of low sensation-seekers. This is typically caused by two things: testosterone and the body’s response to the neurotransmitter dopamine. But people who enjoy horror films are also more responsive to dopamine, which is produced in high-intensity situations, and is released as a result of rewarding, and sometimes sinful experiences, such as during sex, alcohol consumption, and drug use (heroin and cocaine).This heightened sense of arousal can linger for some time after watching a horror film too.
it is the “excitation transfer process,” and it’s the culmination of a heightened heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration process that lingers after a movie.
Like riding a roller coaster, or going in a haunted house people enjoy the thrill of being scared or shocked in some manner. When you watch a horror film you can feel your heart rate increase and you almost feel as if you are in the movie, however you are also aware that you are safe
Because people like to experience the sensation. This sensation pumps their adrenalin or epinephrine (adrenaline rush). Epinephrine is just one of the hormone released in response to stress or emotion, in this case: fear.
It's the sensation they get from fear that keeps them coming back. Not the violence nor the senseless killing from the movie.
It can be quite addictive, once you've get the hang of it. some people may even become an adrenaline junkies.
Some people are simply wired to enjoy high levels of physiological arousal
