Common reasons are to prove that we are not afraid of the horror movies, to feel normal, and for fun. It is a human being’s mentality that fun comes from watching someone threatened and sometime dead. He said there is a potential lyncher in almost all of us.

Through various fresh approaches to filmmaking and story building, Night of The Living Dead was able to positively surprise audiences and critics with new characteristics, challenging its predecessors’ conventions in spite of its limited budget and setting the standards for horror films to come. This paper will present an analysis focusing on the characteristics that place the film in the horror genre, while relating them to those of former and contemporary critically-acclaimed horror films. The emphasis will be placed on the movie’s storyline, its filming and editing style and its explicitly displayed violence. “Genre” is a french word that can be literally translated to kind or type.

I agree with King that some people need to witness violent or socially unacceptable things happen in order to maintain their sanity, but I fear he has failed to recognize the fact that horror movies are but one of the several ways in which people do this. This primal, basic need to express ones true thoughts and opinions is achieved through a variety of ways, including music, painting, storytelling and writing. In his text, King claims that we watch horror movies because it provides some form of entertainment necessary to allow our emotions a free rein; emotions that we often cannot express publicly for fear of societal reprisal. King makes the claim that we have to allow the potential lyncher present in all humans the chance “to scream and roll around in the grass” (Paragraph 9). This expression releases the pent up anger and is a form of cleansing your mind and body of all your negative energy.
A horror show will create an uneasy, eerie atmosphere and is intended to frighten watchers. Horrors can include real life situations such as serial killers like in the movie Halloween or purely fictional situations and be based on the paranormal like the show Supernatural. This show has two main characters who hunt demons, werewolves, witches and every other supernatural creature imagined. While both of these shows are very entertaining they arouse two different emotions and should be chosen from
If a film have a great storyline and strong settings etc. but not very good characters the film wont be very effective and may less of a good reception also audiences have grown to recognise the typical characters within a horror meaning when a new horror is produced they expect it to include these characters in order for it to be good.

So we want to feel our hearts race a little bit, and feel better about our lives when we see a character on the screen get their head smashed in, or get eaten by flesh hungry zombies. Whether we watch a horror film, play a video game were we have to kill the enemy, or race down a road at 160 mph while cops are chasing you, or even join a fantasy football or baseball team to fulfill that void in our lives.
Can Movies Kill The ability to identify logical fallacies in the arguments of others and to avoid them in our own arguments is valuable and rare. Some logical fallacies are more common than others.

“This would be an excellent opportunity to utilize distortion - i.e. people screaming their heads off getting appropriately clipped on the camera microphone could add a lot to the emotion and feeling of the film. In addition to that, you might make good use of camera handling noise when they are running away from something or dropping the camera, etc. - much like a stinger or musical "boo" moment in conventional horror films.” (UTOPIA, 2011) When I started to mix I referred to a quotation from a BBC radio 4 documentary “We hear with our ears, but we listen with our minds” (TOOP, David, 2011) this idea allowed us to experiment with how we mixed the sound, so in post we keep the original audio but layer it with some
While many critics were upset at the “commercialization” of one of the greatest characters in the history of American cinema, an even more interesting change may be indicated through the character's acceptance in mainstream culture.
