People dress up and use machines to scare people in the haunted houses. Wax Museums, which were pretty gruesome, and now have really realistic figures that look like they could actually be alive.

They would have these in their basements or attics
King uses horror and suspense in the short story, I am the Doorway, “beneath the bandages, my new eyes stared blindly into the darkness the bandages forced on them. They itched.” (King, Page 1). However, King uses his horror and suspense to entertain the reader instead of using his style to warn the reader. King warns the reader to entertain them because as shown by the quote, the horror element is used to have the audience to fear the monster, instead of the dystopian implications that Vonnegut warns about.
Psycho, Dracula, The Birds, Jaws. The pulling back of a shower curtain, the glint of a knife, the unknown monster lurking in the dark. Since the first horror film, created in 1896, directors have been able to pinpoint exactly what it is that causes our hearts to race. Horror is one of the most popular movie genres because, somehow, directors have found a way to create content that induces an emotion as equally addictive as it is repelling: fear. However, fear is an emotion that goes far beyond the goosebumps and quickened heartbeat experienced briefly in a darkened movie theater.

Due to these situations, people of our community watch horror movies in order to simulate the idea of spooky things for the future.
Stories from the horror genre leave little information to the imagination. Although, why do people believe this about most stories. Well authors use the horror genre elements to surprise, excite, and give a reader many emotions while reading.

In the gore category, two famous franchises come to mind: Jaws, from the 1970s, and Saw, which is more modern. Today, the gore in Jaws is almost comical, but when it first came into theaters it was seen the most terrifying movie ever made, and rightly so. It has all the aspects of the perfect horror movie: a real-life scenario, an insurmountable monster, and children in danger. However, over time, the horror in this movie has diminished for one primary reason: special effects.
In the movie “Halloween” a woman protecting her children and eventually killing a serial killer isn’t the norm. Using a strong main character that is a woman is different than usual. Usually in movies, women are being protected and felt bad
Their bodies exemplify their hunger and thirst for blood—a hunger that never ends, leaving them with a heavier physique, thus Dominguez-Rues idea that they have a “monstrous female anatomy” (Dominguez-Rue 301). Explaining that their bodies are “monstrous” (Dominguez-Rue 301)—meaning that they are average or possibly over weight which makes them seem terrifying—sheds light on their overall ability to scare others. The fact that they are round and/or over weight can be associated with the word “monstrous” because of how threatening and strong they may seem because of their size. This body type ultimately contributes to the lust that characters, such as Harker who was entranced by a female vampire as shown above in the first quoted passage. His sexual desires formed with the sight of her body and mouth, have for
Another artwork that surely makes people shudder is the “Burial of Punchinello” by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo.

In “Burial of Punchinello” there are few Punchinello with the mask and tall hat carrying a dead Punchinello into a hole in the ground. The appearances of Punchinello just pushes a person fear more because of the masks and tall hat that relatively making the character far from reality and almost transforming like a monstrous creature that freaks people out. The idea of burial is another factors really gives the audiences chills because burial is an ideal of funereal which are often hidden and not something
An example of a notorious monster from society’s viewpoint is Ed Gein, but the circumstances between Dexter and Gein are quite different. Ed Gein is viewed as evil because he “made articles of clothing out of women’s skin” (Blake and Cooper). Absurd acts such as this show the disturb nature serial killers and monsters can posses. Monsters are commonly viewed as disfigured, and dressing up in a skin suit clearly causes disfiguration. Although Dexter has rituals, he never shows demented acts similar to Gein's, or any signs of disfiguration.
