Why do we watch scary films ?

Why do we watch scary films? 
  • Entertainment 
  • Sadistic (deriving pleasure from inflicting pain)
  • Testing yourself (limit)

Aristotle (Philosopher) 
Catharsis = the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed         emotions.

"We purge our own negative/violent feeling by watching/consuming experiencing violent."
