The Horror Paradox

A paradox of horror flicks:

The victims are also the hero(ines),
who despite being very afraid, are also very brave.
If not, there would be no dramatic tension!

The above applies to those who love-hate horror flicks too!

(Blogged about this somewhat some time back
but while watching one episode of ‘American Horror Story’,
thought it might be worth mentioning again.)
