Default And Horror!

I love,love,love!!!!! horror movies. Disaster movies. End-of-the-world movies. Also any books or tv with the same themes. Good fantasy is a staple- in any format. G.K. Chesterton (an author) said "Fantasy stories don't exist to tell you dragons are real. Fantasy stories exist to tell you that dragons can be defeated." For me, the same sentiment applies to horror, disaster, apocalyptic, cops&lawyers etc. The bad guy ALWAYS gets his come-uppance. There is ALWAYS at least one survivor (or 2 to begin human population again). I need to experience the defeat of all kinds of monsters- from dragons to serial killers- because I didn't get justice in my real life. In my real life, the monster just died. He never paid in any way for the things he did to me. So I find this stuff very cathartic. My friendsandrelations don't really get it. They can't see why I watch and read some of the stuff I do. I'm glad they don't get it. I bet you guys get it, even if you don't do it yourselves. red
