Last night I was watching the latest episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. With my dad, godfather and sister on Hulu. and there where these ads and trailers for other stuff in between the show.
And in between the ads saying that "if you buy an SUV your troubles will cease!" There was a trailer for some R rated movie (I had to look away) about some "haunted house."
That night it made me think. (The TV show made me think more of course due to Joss Whedon's genius.)
What is this thing with old house's in horror films?!
The thing to think when studying why anybody would even make a movie like that? (The R rated movie of course.) In this case, to give people scary thrills.
First: having the scary thrills with zombies, ghosts and other disgusting artifacts provide a thrill. (I'm not saying this is a healthy thrill but its there so I'm talking about it.)
Second: people live in houses. Obviously. But having these monsters be in a house makes it identifiable with the viewer. Soon after the movie your the imagination makes it your house.
So your walking around your house scared and nervous. Witch brings us to another question.
Why do people like this stuff???
