Response
After reading the article “Why We Crave Horror
Movies” by Stephen King, I felt totally agreed with him. King was very
confident on what he was stating and also proved to be right with his strong
examples. I learned that he is a well experienced writer and do a good job convincing
his readers. I also believe that we crave horror movies because we are mentally
ill. We all want to see things that we cannot do in real life and I believe that’s
what make the horror movie genre so unique. Horror movies have been always my
love and I love watching them. As king stated “We watch the horror movies, to
show that we can” this is exactly what I think when going to watch a horror
movie. Horror movies are so much fun.
You described the article but also there are a few spelling mistakes that make the reader go back and re-read what you wrote. Other than that I like what you wrote.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, and I really think that we love watching horror movies because we all want that thrill and excitement. It's just another way of saying why we're all mentally ill in a nutshell.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with what you said, I believe some us are willing to take risks and do life threatening things just to say that we can. However, we tend to not think of the consequences along with those risks that we usually take. Overall, great summary, great response.
