Questions we're exploring

These are all questions we hope to gain an understanding of through our research and eventual class discussion of our blog.

1. What does society deem scary? Why or why not?

2. Has this changed over the years? How so?

-Possibly influenced by special effects, make-up, costuming, ect?

3. Horror movie plot lines are continually recycled, yet audiences continue to react to scary movies. Has society become desensitized to such movies? Why or why not?

4. What is it about fear that is so entertaining? The adrenaline rush? The shock factor? The fact that seeing movies is one of the only activities that can create this feeling?

Just some beginning questions to ponder as we continue our research.
