If you enjoy watching horror movies but not being scared, you’re not alone. Scientific American shares the evolutionary reasons behind why we enjoy haunts and horror.
This paradox is now being resolved by research on the science of scary play and morbid curiosity. Our desire to experience fear, it seems, is rooted deep in our evolutionary past and can still benefit us today. Scary play, it turns out, can help us overcome fears and face new challenges—those that surface in our own lives and others that arise in the increasingly disturbing world we all live in.
