Is fear the only thing to fear? Maybe it is, maybe it is not. Fear is a strong emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.

Critiquing “Modern Cannibals of the Wild” by Basil Johnston Indigenous struggles have been ignored throughout Canadian history for centuries. They have lost their sacred land, human rights, and communities. Johnston effectively portrays these struggles by putting us in the shoes of Indigenous peoples and reflecting on the damage we have caused to them, whereas Rice directly conveys his message without the same vibrance. Due to the above, Johnston effectively uses stylistic elements to address the negative impact of human greed and environmental exploitation, surpassing the limited impact of similar stylistic elements of Rice’s essay which primarily focuses on personal experiences and lacks the exploration of broader societal issues.
From the very beginning of the novel, we do not see these zombies as simply monsters, rather they are former humans. Mark Spitz and the other sweepers recognize that skels had lives before this, and they play games to guess what significance a place might have had to a straggler when they were

As a result the transformation of alive to dead relates to ghosts by first a person was living then
Since George Romero’s film released in 1968, Night of the Living Dead, zombies have been a major part of pop culture. According to The Nurse's Role in the Prevention of Solanum Infection, there are five main types of zombies.

Due to these situations, people of our community watch horror movies in order to simulate the idea of spooky things for the future.
There are multiple reasons why the religion of Voodoo originated in Haiti. Haiti had a substantial force that gave their people strength and power through hardships and all of the suffering. Haiti was very isolated during substantial points in history, which gave them time to come up with their own beliefs and practices of Voodoo. Like people today they believe in a God and a certain religion, which is exactly what Haitians believed. Not everyone had the same belief in the same God but they all believed in the same religion and that their God or spirits gave them advantages to life and disadvantages.
Fear has existed since the beginning of life. From humongous dinosaurs to modern-day humans, it is a persisting trait. The difference between dinosaurs and humans is that humans have learned to use fear. Some individuals use fear for good, like writing horror novels and passing down generational stories; however, others use fear with much more malicious intentions. Joyce Oates’ short story dealing with sexual exploitation and Christopher Nolan’s film about Batman overcoming the death of his parents both display the darker side of human nature.
Fear plays a big part in everyone’s lives. While not everyone will admit it, everyone is scared of something. There is a lot that isn’t known about the world and everything in it. For some this is a tool that can be used to develop horror in literature as well as many other things. “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
This fear is also reflected in the plot of The Walking Dead when the survivors are fearing for their lives that they will become a zombie as well. They try to do anything they can to prevent the zombie outbreak from getting worse, even if it means killing their own family or friends. This is seen when Jim had to kill his own family because they turned into zombies and were attacking the survivors. His decision to kill those closest to him in order to save himself and the remaining survivors shows how we will do anything to stay alive, no matter how relentless or selfish these decisions can be. Thus, I conclude that the idea of a zombie reflects society 's biggest fears of violent attacks or major pandemic
When a scary story is on the cusp of being believable, it is very frightening. When the reader is trying to fall asleep and trying to convince themselves that it is just a story that is supposed to create feelings of worry and fear, that is when it is horror. When the reader is repeating the phrase “It is not real. It is not going to happen” in order to calm themselves down, that is when it is horror. When we believe that the story could happen to us, it makes it all the more scary.
