been around since 1910 starting with Frankenstein. When someone watches a
horror film the aim is to create fear and panic. Most horror films involve
peoples worst nightmares such as a crazy killer going around killing peoples or
watching a video tape which leads to you dying in seven days. Horror films are
mostly based around an evil force or an event in someones life that has caused
panic in fear. When watching horror films and a message pops up saying 'based
on a true story' people don't want to believe that something like this could
happen.
