Why do you think horror movies are so popular in America?

     Horror movies are fun to watch but only when one is in the mood to get their adrenaline going. Especially if you are an adrenaline junkie. Horror movies allow us to experience fear without being placed in an unsafe situation. We enjoy the anticipation and feelings of being scared when a jumpscare appears. This is one of the reasons why I believe they are so popular in America. Horror movies could also be very popular in America because it is hard to find a scary movie that is actually scary. Many horror movies consist of cheap jumpscares and a poorly written storyline, thus everyone is always curious to find out just how scary the newest horror movies are. A couple other reasons could be the good, haunting storylines, or scary plot twists that the movies offer. However, there are still some people enjoy cheap jumpscares, as they are especially fun to watch with friends because everyone can get scared together. It's also fun to make fun of your friends when they get scared after watching horror movies. Horror movies have interesting storylines to follow along and can even keep the audience on the edge of their seats when done right. There are many others that enjoy a scary storyline as it is simply entertaining and leaves the audience feeling haunted afterward.
  I believe that the main reason to go and watch a horror movie is for the adrenaline rush one gets. Comedy, drama, mystery, history, and many more movies barely ever give the audience a scare. The feelings induced by horror movies are unlike any other genre and this is why it is so popular.
