To add to this furor, Hollywood directors have opened up a gamut of choices, wherefrom the audience can select and feed his/her imagination accordingly. Why and how the ‘Horror Movies’ have become so popular that it is emerging as a dynamic type with the passage of time?
The factor and instinct that is most active during watching a horror movie is ‘Fear’ which is the quickest and most dependable emotion that movie makers can bring out in us. As a natural psychological phenomenon, we are always attracted and curious, consciously or subconsciously about anything and everything that takes us far from the reality and the obvious. Similarly we are always enthusiastic about the unexplained occurrences and the mystical and supernatural expeditions that are unheard, unknown and generally unbelievable. Bizarre ghostly activities, ugly and distorted demonic appearances, and the unseen sensation of a haunting presence in horror movies like ‘Grudge’, ‘Dark Waters’, ‘The Ring’, ‘The Others’, ‘Exorcist’, ‘Gothica’, ‘Psycho’, 'The Omen’, ‘Orphan’ make the audience sit on the edge of their seat curled up in the couch awaiting to experience something riveting and unexpected with razor sharp senses and every inch of your skin tingling with imaginary speculations.

This natural high is at the most powerful reason behind the popularity of this madness called ‘Horror Movie’.
