This article and video talk about what horror really is and tells why people are attracted to horror movies rather than horror documentaries. Over the years many people have done research on why people enjoy horror movies. There are many unfinished theories of why we enjoy horror movies.
I found this article to be very interesting, especially the part where Haidt McCauley and Rozin conducted research on disgust in 1994 when they showed students series of gruesome documentary videos. Many of the students could not watch all of the video because they knew it was real. but students will pay to see horror movies, that show the same things and even worse but they know that it isn't real and gives the viewers a scene of ease.
