Why DO We Love Horror?

Why DO We Love Horror? When I tell people my favorite genre of films and television is horror, I often get asked “Why?” The tone of the question ranges from mild curiosity to, ironically, horror. Some people simply wonder what there is to like about something created to scare you, while others wonder if they should now be scared OF you. While it’s a fair question, pinpointing an answer isn’t so simple. Scientists found it a complicated enough question to warrant several studies done over t

I first learned about the Wow Signal quite a few years ago, and it challenged my belief that science wasn’t interesting. It fascinated me that

The Turning Review

I spent my breaks at work the last couple of days cramming in a re-read of Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw. The release of The Turning, directed by Floria Sigismondi, was sneaking up on me. I had plans for a nice compare and contrast article. I loved the book and fully expected the film to be amazing, though also to be very different from the original story. After all, modern audiences don’t often go in for gothic horror. No one I know, aside from myself, does. Despite being only halfway
