its because that elder society believe that children are too young to grapple the information and obscurity of film to hold as true or not. For example, wouldn't you refrain from going to the beach if you saw 'Jaws' if you were 5 or 6?

Fear is the emotion that we feel when you realize that your own well being is threatened. People, who go to Horror movies, place themselves in the situation that the characters are in the film. They let their imagination run wild and think about the possibility that something like this could happen to them.

In addition to feeling good the adrenaline high often lingers long enough to leave the impression on movie goers minds that screaming and hiding behind the seats was a favorable experience.

For the male of our species, in particular, the attraction of horror movies is the ability to conquer something that seems threatening, even though it poses no real harm. They feel like the hero when they protect their girl friend or wife from the boogieman on the big screen.

There are some people who like horror movies simply because they like the gore and are totally fascinated by the blood and special effects.

I will never forget the shear terror I felt when I watched 'The Hills have Eyes' I was 13 years old and I slept on my parents bedroom floor for two night because I was afraid to sleep in my own room. I was so scared when that movie was over I was shaking. For me the adrenaline rush isn't worth the lingering sense of doom and fear.

How is horror movies good for kids or how do horror movies NOT affect children?

i don't thing that horror movies are bad for kids as long as kids don't follow what the movie is expressing!!!!!!!!!!!!! --- I have watched horror movies ever since I was a young child. They are my preferred movie genre. I think as long as the child is old enough, or mentally capable enough to handle the movie and realize 'the scary monster isn't real' etc.. then there is nothing wrong with allowing a child to watch a horror movie. But it must be a child to child basis, all kids might not be okay with horror, while some are. Just like adults.
