why we love to be afraid...

[ving]

I was thinking about the question Why do we love this game so much when it scares the crap out of us? It seems to me to be illogical that we would voluntarily place oursevles in a situation that would do that... I am guessing any that have put thought into this have felt the same way.

...Anyhow, for me its a bit of adrenalin, and a bit of I know there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am willing to sit there peeing my pants till i reach it. But all this thought made me want to do some research...

TO THE GOOGLE MACHINE!!!

My google search came up with heaps of hits as to why we love horror as a genre so much and i thought I'd share one with you... its a simple but interesting read.
