Fear - why people watch vampire films

'situated culture' where, who with, how you watch something and the effect of your enjoyment and reaction to the fiction.

to watch a vampire film alone is a test of strength but at a practical level as Eli Roth says vampire films are 'great date movies' as the female viewer is stereotypically more frightened and the context of a dark room aids this theory.

visceral horror physical reaction to sound and images

pyscological horror the suspense we feel in unknown situations
