Specifically. Let's talk about the fears you find yourself compelled to explore through the art of horror. In both print and visual, not to mention that enduring classic of storytelling (usually visa vie Urban Legends par example).
I want to know what scares you, but also entertains you. That satisfying page turning quality of entertainment. That certain something that makes you peek through your fingers rather than looking away from the screen. You know of that feeling of which I speak... If you're not a fan of horror and cannot fathom why on earth anyone would subject themselves to such madness...this thread is not for you, simply carry on. There will be other threads of this kind forthecoming with other genres. But this thread is for fear and those who occasionally revel in it for entertainment, and introspection.
*A note: The OP fully aknowedges the intimate nature of fear for many, and that we currently live in times wrought with fear and horror of which most cannot look away from. This isnt really the thread for that either. This isnt about finding out what scares you and keeps you up at night or reduces you to flight or flight visceral reactions. This isnt a thread for that sort of terror.
Now, gather 'round while I elucidate
On what happens outside when it gets late
'Long about midnight the ghosts and banshees
Get together for their nightly jamborees
There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes
And some with fangs about this size
Some short and fat, some tall and thin
And some don't even bother to wear their skin
I'm tellin' you brother, it's a frightful sight
To see what goes on in the night...
So come on fellow spooks, let's have a midnight jamboree; Let's break it down with fiendish glee...
