Why do people like horror films? A friend’s brother said it was some embedded need to be frightened, the hunt. I thought it was about going on a date so that you are forced closer. The awful truth is that girls fantasise about being cut up...Bluebeard was on the right track.
The number of women I know who adore horror films...the number of women who, with a little provocation, start to fantasise about being cut up, kidnapped, and murdered...this is who horror films are made for. Sexual pleasure. “I could eat you up, my dear...”
