After making a previous thought-provoking post about entertainment or specifically gaming. What actually makes Horror movies and games...Fun?
I have ponders this for many days, and why do many of us humans insist otherwise that unlike other beings who would rue the day if they got even the tiniest-bit scared, that we rivel in freaking ourselves out and make it almost a social-entity of having to get scared to "death"?
Having experienced it in such games a Fatal Frame, it's almost a double-edged sword when it comes to horror-media, one edge being that you're totally or slightly freaked out, but your body and emotions also entail a sense of humor and almost laughing inside when you're panicked.
This double-set of emotions is probably why people support this medium, since the reactions can be quite hysterical to the fearful and outright humored consumers.
Having watched videos of people spectating players of such games, while the player is totally fearing for his gaming life, the people who look on are either scared, or bathing in utter humorous abundance.
This is also one of the genres where people like to use terms that inflict the thought of depositing bodily waste into one's lower garments, to which kind of happens during moments of fear and laughter to someone with no physical self-control.
Also, is it to pursue outside emotions that would relevantly never happen in the time-span of their real life, where they enduce themselves with awkward emotional bathing to ensure that they can consider themselves true humans?
Something to think about I think.
