We all (or at least most of us) love a good scare. A fun scare of couse, not a "I almost got ran over by a truck" scare. But fun stuff like a ride on a roller coaster or a good book or movie that gets the heart pumping. We like the adrenaline. The problem come in that we hear the same stuff over and over we get de-sensitized to it and so we need bigger, scarier things. Our kids start out where we left off so it gets worse and worse. My parents talked about how scary Psycho was and I heard for years how people were afraid to take showers after watching it. When I was in my twenties I finally saw it and All I could think was "That's it? That's the horrible movie? You're kidding" But I have grown up with the Halloween series, and Nightmare on Elm Street and the like and even though I never sat through an entire movie for any of them, it still numbed me.

Perhaps though the visual arts are just catching up with written stuff. Edgar Allen Poe and Lovecraft wouldn't make too pretty of a picture.
