The Evolution Of Fear
Horror is one of the most successful fiction genres today, with blockbuster titles like It and The Last of Us exemplifying its wide-reaching appeal. But why are disturbing creatures like clowns, sharks, and zombies so popularly featured in horror stories? Researchers point to a variety of explanations for this phenomenon. Some say it taps into our primitive fear instinct; others suggest people enjoy confronting risks without actually putting themselves in real danger. Regardless of the reasons behind this trend, horror continues to be one of the most beloved genres around!

Objects moved on their own, shadows flickered in the corner of her eye, and whispers echoed through the empty halls of her home.

The influence of Hollywood horror movies on Indian horror cinema
This article examines the influence of Hollywood horror movies on Indian horror cinema, specifically focusing on Bollywood's development of the genre. Although Indian horror movies have always been popular, Hollywood has played a significant role in shaping the genre through its use of visual effects and storytelling techniques. This has resulted in Bollywood horror films that feature more elaborate visual effects and complex narratives, taking inspiration from Hollywood classics. However, there are also notable differences between Indian and Western horror cinema, such as the use of cultural context and music. Indian horror movies incorporate elements of Indian mythology and folklore, while Bollywood films are known for their use of music and dance sequences. Despite the popularity of Hollywood horror films in India, Bollywood horror movies continue to thrive due to their unique identity and cultural context. Therefore, while Hollywood has influenced Bollywood horror movies, it is important to acknowledge the distinctive cultural context and identity that sets Indian horror cinema apart from Western horror.

Rosemary's Baby (1968)
So many have seen this gem from so long ago that its themes are ingrained into the cultural mass consciousness. It came just a bit before films such as The Exorcist or The Omen made the idea of the birth of the Antichrist, that wee little tot of evil, a sort of cross-pollination between Christian Millinealism and Hollywood big-time cheese factory horror movie tripe. One wonders that one fed so much into the other--but it makes sense. The years of the middle-Sixties saw the rebirth of rebellion amongst agitated, anti-war, and psychedelic youth: Yippies, Weatherman, Timothy Leary and Abbie Hoffman, Vietnam, Watergate--could the Son of Perdition be far behind? Most believers were convinced he'd out-Hitler Hitler, Stalin, or Mao. Hollywood was there to provide the Dream Factory impetus behind the psychological undercurrent of spiritual anxiety. Regan MacNeil is puking pea soup in the mind's eye, in some celluloid hell that lasts forever. And then there's that The Omen thing, which I've never seen all the way through.
