What Do We Want from Monsters?: Noël Carroll and the Paradox of Horror

There's something rather strange about watching a horror film and complaining that it wasn't frightening enough. We spend much of our lives trying to avoid danger, discomfort and anything that might genuinely terrify us. Yet we'll happily pay to experience those very feelings, provided there's a screen between us and whatever's trying to kill us. Why do we deliberately seek out something we'd normally do our best to avoid?
In this episode of The Observing I, I explore philosopher Noël Carroll's paradox of horror, along with the arguments of Berys Gaut and some fascinating psychological research into why fear can sometimes be enjoyable. From our fascination with monsters to the peculiar pleasure of being frightened, we'll consider what horror reveals about our relationship with uncomfortable emotions, and why we keep coming back for more.
Much love, David x
