For many people, horror movies seem like a strange form of entertainment. Why would anyone choose to spend two hours feeling nervous, shocked, or frightened? Yet horror remains one of the most popular film genres in the world. From haunted houses and monsters to psychological thrillers and supernatural stories, millions of viewers actively look for experiences that make their hearts beat faster.

At first, this seems difficult to explain. Fear is normally an emotion that helps us avoid danger. If we hear a sudden noise in a dark room, our bodies become alert. Our heart rate may increase, our muscles may become tense, and our attention becomes sharper. These reactions are part of the body’s natural survival system.
