Why We Crave Horror Movies

In "Why We Crave Horror Movies," Stephen King asserts that we love horror movies because "we're all mentally ill," and the "potential lyncher" in almost all of us needs "to be let loose" every once in awhile. Consider King's assertion; then, in a well-written PEA paragraph support, refute, or qualify King's claim. Use specific evidence from your personal experience, reading, and general knowledge to help prove your point. Post your paragraph as a comment below.
