There's a basic question I want to ask.
What's the attraction of horror?
All horror buffs know that a good horror movie or novel makes us uncomfortable for days. We sit up at night, devouring page after page of the antics of "ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night": then spend an extremely uncomfortable night, sometimes punctuated by trips to the toilet.
Why the hell are we obsessed with scaring ourselves to death?
