Lily Kean '24 October is finally here, along with all the fright festivals, haunted houses, scary stories, mystery novels, horror/ thriller movies, all to precipitate fear. Fear is usually a signal of danger, but now it is being sought out as a form of entertainment.
When you feel scared you typically experience an increased heart rate, faster breathing or shortness of breath, “butterflies in your stomach” or digestive changes, sweating and chills, and trembling muscles. Although October is full of fright, fear is an all-year-round experience. Considering the feeling is fairly unpleasant, why would people purposely put themselves through it?
In short, people enjoy fear because it is an exhilarating feeling with a lot of benefits. Fortunately it’s October, and there are haunting, thrilling, and horrifying experiences all around.
