What is it about scary stories, images and horror movies that draws us in?

I think it's because there's a desire to understand the unknown. It's not enough to know what a person looks like; we want to know what they're thinking and feeling. We want to see inside their head, but our own experiences don't provide us with a lot of reference points for what that might be like. So instead of going down into the dark depths of our own minds, we turn to the dark depths of other people's minds—and what better place than a scary image/story/movie?

Happy Halloween! Have fun and stay safe.
