Comfort Horror. It's a thing. It keeps the fandom fed. We come back time and again to get scared, and we love it. Why? This is the third of my series of Crypticon Seattle convention panel recordings. Panels are the lifeblood of this annual horror gathering, feeding the fandom's macabre knowledge cravings. Horror movies are the bonds this community shares, and to understand why, this panel examines the lure of horror for many of us. It seems antithetical that many of us crave the experience of being scared.
Hey everybody! The carnival roadshow has arrived! Wait! Where are you going? Come back! It's the circus! Don't you like clowns? At least stick around to read TST's dead list of 22 notable amusement themed horror films. It will startle and amaze!
Sometimes, you only need to see a horror movie once. That doesn't mean that it's a bad movie, (Some are actually quite good) but perhaps it was a bit too much, or the twist made the movie, or it made us feel bad. These movies made our to-do list, but then we said "Thanks, once is enough."
