Why Men Love Horror: A Field Guide to Fear, Masculinity,and the Movies That Messed Us Up - Softcover
Synopsis
Someone has looked at you and asked the question. Maybe it was a partner, a parent, or a colleague. Maybe it was just the look on their face when they found out what you watch.
Why do you like this stuff?
The implication was clear. There is something slightly wrong with you.
Here is what the science actually says: men who love horror are, on average, more empathetic, more resilient, more emotionally curious, and better at managing anxiety than the people who judge them for it.
Why Men Love Horror is a research-backed field guide to the psychology of male horror fandom. Drawing on studies from the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University, researcher Coltan Scrivner's landmark work on morbid curiosity, and the science of threat simulation, this book identifies nine distinct types of horror man — nine ways that the same appetite for fear expresses itself in completely different people, with completely different motivations and completely different things going on underneath.
Are you the Adrenaline Guy, chasing the spike? The Control Guy, running survival scenarios while everyone else covers their eyes? The Truth-Seeker who needs to know what actually happened? Or the Meaning Guy, using horror to process the things daily life won't give you room to feel?
By the end, you will know which type you are. You will probably recognise most of the others. And you will have, for the first time, a proper vocabulary for the thing you have been doing all along.
Includes a full horror man type quiz, film recommendations by type, and the science behind every verdict.
From Myth or Reality Stories — investigating the border between horror and reality since 2024.
