10 Ways To Revive The Failing Horror Genre

1. Remember That All Fear Is Rooted In Loss

The-Shining-Shelley-Duvall You can't have it all. Sometimes, you can't even have the few things you want the most. And someday, you'll have to the face the greatest unknown€”you won't even have your life. You could see life as an experience of bad events, one happening after another. Or as a quick climb up, followed by a painful crawl down, losing increasingly precious things and people that bring you meaning. That's probably the scariest thing of all, and something you can never prepare for. So maybe the whole point of packing ourselves in theaters to experience fear and anxiety is so that we have a mini trial run on life, the greater the fear, the better the practice. And that's why some of us laugh. Look at these idiots. They have no idea what they're doing. Getting themselves hacked into pieces, losing their children to poltergeist, not calling for help when they need it, trusting the wrong people, making mistakes they can't take back, letting their guard down at the wrong times, panicking into greater perils, screaming, fighting, running, uselessly against death. So that's what I think. What do you think? Feel free to comment!
