Random thought today: Being drawn to horror stories is biological. Why? Because fear is an incredibly effective teacher. It’s been a driving force in human evolution from the beginning. People who are more cognizant of the perils in the world, the things that will harm, are more likely to gravitate toward horror. The people who generally do not like horror stories tend to be those who feel secure and do not think as often about all of the things in the world that could bring them to harm.
