<p>Why horror? Isn‘t there already enough fear in the world?</p><p>Yes there is and that‘s exactly why horror entertainment is so important.</p><p>Some people will try focus on ―positive emotions‖ such as love and joy while repressing their fear anger jealousy and other ―negative‖ emotions.</p><p>I think this is an extremely dangerous thing to do because pretending they don‘t exist doesn‘t make the other emotions go away. It only inhibits our ability to understand and control them</p><p>– and when we aren‘t controlling them they‘re controlling us.</p><p>Without control we are easy victims for any politician to use our fears to manipulate our vote. We are helpless to the holy man who uses our fear of the afterlife to control our values. We are even inept to confess to the girl we love or follow our dreams or anything else where fear stands as a boundary between us and our goal.</p>
