'When it's not 'only a movie''
'You buy your ticket, you go into an auditorium full of people you don't know, you look toward the front of the room, the lights go down -- and in the darkness, you are safe.
On the screen in front of you, startling things may be going on: gunfights, automobile wrecks, romances suddenly turned dramatically ugly. You have willingly suspended disbelief; for two hours, you have voluntarily joined into the story looming so large in front of your eyes that you have pushed aside the fact that you are still just you sitting in a room in your town. The most dangerous things can be taking place in the front of that room, yet you are secure and protected. There is a cocoon that the moviegoing experience provides, and every time you step into a theater you are back inside of it.'
The explanation was taken from a CNN article, which explains the atmosphere and excitement of watching a horror movie inside the cinema. This is very common in today's society as people usually go to the cinema's with their friends, and enjoy the thrilling experience of a horror movie.
A horror movie isn't just a horror movie, but it is the dark atmosphere combined which emphasizes the horror.
