i used to live in a haunted house, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying scary movies, especially the campy ones.
What possesses people to seek out experiences that make them tremble with fear?

Enjoyment likely comes not from the fear itself, experts say, but from the physical and emotional release that follows scary situations.
