My problem is that all too often people misinterpret "fear" as meaning "gallons of gore and volumes of viscera." This is why "The Shining" remains a spooky favorite and the "Saw" series is shunned in my house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694222619047441202.post-91754440792083451952012-10-29T08:38:20.398-07:002012-10-29T08:38:20.398-07:00You make some excellent points.

There's nothing like that rush of adrenaline when we get scared, although I like like most things, too much of it would take the fun out of it.C R Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212244053084461118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694222619047441202.post-70055058880405041122012-10-26T12:57:38.009-07:002012-10-26T12:57:38.009-07:00Thought-provoking post.

People watch movies, knowing they'll be scared, or they do certain things to induce that fear. When it comes to the supernatural, I think it's also a fascination with the unknown. Sure, we don't really think it can happen to us, but what if? <br /><br />See? Though-provoking indeed! Great post.

Dishes were flying everywhere as I rushed to get outside to safety. The aftershocks lasted for days and kept causing more damage.

I'm not a fan but you're right. We want that sensation running through out body and, as a bonus, perhaps supernatural and out-of-this-world stuff makes us think.
