What's The Big Deal About Horror, Anyway? - The Geeked Gods

Why horror? Why are so many of us obsessed with it? Are we all just sick in the head, or is there something more to the phenomenon?

Showtime has released the official trailer for Why Horror?, a documentary that follows genre fan Tal Zimerman as he looks at the psychology of horror around the world in order to understand why we love to be scared.

It features input from filmmakers John Carpenter (Halloween), George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead), Eli Roth (Hostel), Don Coscarelli (Phantasm), Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) and David Hackl (Saw V), among others.

Directed by Rob Lindsay and Nicolas Kleiman, Why Horror? will air on Showtime on Friday, October 30. Read on for the extended synopsis.

Horror in entertainment either attracts or repulses audiences.  And yet, it’s a global phenomenon. Millions of people love it, but horror fans are often misunderstood. Tal Zimerman should know. He’s one of them.

Tal is a journalist for renowned horror publications, a comedic-actor and a full-fledged fan of everything deep, dark and disgusting. But lately he’s been asking himself WHY?  Why are he and millions of people obsessed with horror? Why do we need it in our culture? What happens to us when we experience it? Why is horror so polarizing?

Tal is on a journey to understand why he is disturbed by gruesome imagery showcased in the news, but thrives on blood and guts found in movies, graphic novels and videogames. So he travels to meet with the genre’s leading filmmakers, writers, and historians as well as psychologist and sociologists to discover how horror looks in different cultures, why it’s so popular and how it affects our minds. Tal wants to know – WHY Horror?

Why Horror? Documentary Gets Incredible Poster

Why Horror? is a Canadian documentary coming out this Halloween season. It was a Kickstarter funded doc based on horror films and why we love them, even though they're terrifying and often bloody.

Today, this film poster for the documentary was released and it's got me super fucking excited for the movie to actually drop. The poster's created by the ghoulish Gary Pullin. Super nice design and definitely captures what the documentary entails. Check out a scene from the documentary here.
