Stephen King, a science
fiction/horror writer, wrote an expository essay entitled “Why We Crave Horror
Movies” (_____) that asserts that humanity it mentally ill. King gives three
reasons for why we go to the horror films to prove that “If we share a
brotherhood of man, then we also share an insanity of man”; We got to show that
we are not afraid, to become children again, to “give exercise to” or appeal to
the worst inside of ourselves. Stephen
King uses these reasons to justify his claim that everyone is a little
off. “Why We Crave Horror Movies” is
addressed to “you”; it speaks to the reader on a personal level, but in a
larger sense it is actually addressing all of humanity, or whomever chooses to
read his essay, and diagnosis them with the mental instability that everyone
carries inside of themselves.
