恐怖片讓人看了膽顫心驚，但是喜好看恐怖片的人卻不少，他們明明怕得要死，為什麼又愛看呢？
根據《Science Alert》的文章提到，人們愛看恐怖片是有原因的，他們享受被聲光效果嚇到後，還能意識到自己「活在當下」的確定感，文內提到，恐懼使人分心，這可能是個正向的經驗，當有可怕事情發生時，人類的大腦處於高度警惕的狀態，因此白天工作中惹來的麻煩，或是隔天還有重大報告等煩心的事情都被拋到腦後。看恐怖片時所帶來的短暫恐懼，有一點「逃避作用」，將人們的注意力從苦悶的事情上轉移，是讓人達到放鬆的方法。
另外，年輕男女在情竇初開時，約看恐怖片是一種訊號，是一種暗示的手段，也是男孩追求女孩常見的一種破冰方法，很多男男女女都經歷過這段小曖昧的，男生選擇帶女生去看恐怖片，大多都是想跟女生有肢體接觸，在恐怖片的影響下，或許有機會破冰，並讓感情加溫，而女生會同意和男生去看恐怖片，多是對男生有些好感，希望借看電影的機會加深瞭解和增進感情，雖然電影院裡瀰漫可怕氛圍，但兩個人的心卻又更近了。
恐懼是一種能夠感知威脅的早期預警系統，能夠為人贏得時間逃跑或做出最快的反擊，美國田納西州範德比爾特大學精神病學及心理學教授薩爾德的一項研究發現到，愛看恐怖片的人，多是尋求刺激型人格特徵，這種尋求新鮮刺激的傾向對進化很重要，尋求新經歷的人或許更有可能生存下來並把自己的基因傳遞下去，而看恐怖片的恐懼感，如同他們自己正在經歷恐懼一樣，大腦想像出來的畫面能夠讓身體覺得真實，從而在安全的環境下訓練大腦杏仁核，有快速應急的反應，及一顆不受擾動的心。
恐怖片還是一門好生意，布倫屋製片公司（Blumhouse Productions）是業界出名的恐怖片的製造工廠，該公司出品的電影「陰兒房」請被亞洲影迷稱爲「鬼王溫」的溫子仁導演，製作成本只有 150 萬美元，跟好萊塢超級大片上億的成本，簡直不值一提，但在 2010 年「陰兒房」上映時，全球票房累計進帳超過一億美元，至今，公司已經推出五集的系列電影，除了部部熱賣外，還成為恐怖片影迷的必看片單。
不過，恐懼可能會致命，波士頓布裏格姆婦女醫院曾收到了幾百份死亡報告，死者都是在面臨極端壓力或情感沖擊時突然死亡的，在恐懼當下，心肌會不受意志力控制地以特定形式收縮，並且由於應激激素的大量釋放無法再度放鬆，某些專家認為許多災害中的遇難者可能是死於恐懼而不是創傷，話說回來，我並不愛看恐怖片，您呢？
Horror movies can be terrifying, but there are many people who enjoy watching them. Even though they’re scared to death, why do they love to watch?
According to an article in Science Alert, there’s a reason why people love horror movies. They enjoy the certainty of being “in the moment” after being scared by sound and light effects. The article mentions that fear distracts people, which can be a positive experience. When something scary happens, the human brain is in a state of high alert, so the troubles of the day’s work or the major reports of the next day are thrown to the back of the mind. The temporary fear brought about by watching horror movies has a kind of “escapist function”, diverting people’s attention from tedious things and helping them relax.
In addition, when young men and women are in the early stages of romance, watching a horror movie is a signal, a subtle means, and a common ice-breaking method for boys to pursue girls. Many boys and girls have experienced this little ambiguity. Boys choose to take girls to watch horror movies, mostly wanting to have physical contact with the girls. Under the influence of horror movies, there may be a chance to break the ice and warm up the feelings. Girls agree to watch horror movies with boys, mostly because they have some good feelings for the boys and hope to deepen their understanding and enhance their feelings by watching movies. Although the cinema is filled with a terrible atmosphere, the hearts of the two people are closer.
Fear is an early warning system that can perceive threats, win time to escape or make the fastest counterattack. A study by Sald, a professor of psychiatry and psychology at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, found that people who love horror movies are mostly thrill-seeking personality traits. This tendency to seek fresh stimulation is important for evolution. People who seek new experiences may be more likely to survive and pass on their genes. The fear of watching horror movies is like their own experience of fear. The images imagined by the brain can make the body feel real, thereby training the amygdala in a safe environment to have a quick emergency response and an undisturbed heart.
Horror movies are also a good business. Blumhouse Productions is a famous horror movie factory in the industry. The company’s movie “Insidious” was directed by James Wan, who is known as the “Ghost King” by Asian fans. The production cost is only 1.5 million US dollars, which is not worth mentioning compared to the hundreds of millions of costs of Hollywood blockbusters. But when “Insidious” was released in 2010, the global box office accumulated more than 100 million US dollars. So far, the company has released five series of movies, which are not only popular, but also a must-see list for horror movie fans.
However, fear can be fatal. Boston Brigham Women’s Hospital has received hundreds of death reports. The deceased all died suddenly when facing extreme pressure or emotional shock. In fear, the myocardium will contract in a specific form without being controlled by willpower, and cannot relax again due to the large release of stress hormones. Some experts believe that many victims in disasters may die of fear rather than trauma. Anyway, I don’t like watching horror movies. What about you?
上学时候和舍友一起看贞子和咒怨，几乎闭着眼睛看完的，后劲很大，去房间内的卫生间都需要拉着舍友😅。
贞子那片也是經典 😁
