"Love Creates Horror"

Of all the genres of movies, horror is my favorite. Not just like horror in general, but any amount of suspense, and tension. A classic film done in the genre is "The Shining," and if you have not seen it you probably should, it is a symbol of the genre. One of my all time favorite movies. Doctor Sleep the sequel to the original shining was just recently released in September. Steven King has this idea that "Love Creates Horror" and thats a valid statement. When I think about love and horror in their general sense, they seem very separate. And they are! love. and fear. they are very different emotions, but they are connected.
            Losing people you care about is one of the scariest things you can go through. If you are at the point when you would do anything to help them, or be with them, or whatever, then you are experiencing a type of fear like nothing else. Its like being on the very edge of the world, and you can just fall off. Thats the type of feeling that Stephen King is trying to get out of his readers. He's trying to make people care about his characters like they care about their loved ones, and to in turn be afraid for the characters and their experiences.
            Horror isnt only the gory and the gruesome. We feel it in the pit of our stomach. its in the deep dark, locked up parts of our minds. It is more than just emotion. Love is the same way. Both of them pull so much energy out of us, and cause so many different feelings throughout every part of your body. But monsters and zombies, getting their heads chopped off is still at least entertaining....
