Stephen King and Carina Chocano are both horror authors who address the mental disorders of people today. Stephen King, author of "Why We Want Horror Movies" says that people are mentally ill because they choose to watch horror movies even though they know they will be scared. The author of "How Tabloid Wrecks Are Reinventing Gothic Literature," Carina Chocano, argues that celebrities of this era become similar to characters in Gothic literature in order to increase their fame value. These two pieces both illustrate that people crave the feeling of darkness and terror. Both King and Chocano argue, using examples, that people today use fear as a source of entertainment and that it is also a physiological and social goal of the gothic horror genre. In both pieces, "Why We Crave Horror Movies" and "How Tabloid Wrecks Are Reinventing Gothic Literature" are used to describe the Gothic genre affecting individuals' health. Stephen King writes in his article on the mental health of individuals: “It [fear] pushes us to put aside our more civilized and adult penchant for analysis and to become children again…” (paragraph 7, “Why we have want horror films). claims that people want the adrenaline and mindset of when they watched horror movies as kids. This affects an individual's mental health as they become afraid and force themselves to watch horror films to put themselves in a different state of mind, as if they were a child again. People crave to feel like children again because they want to return to a carefree, worry-free, and simple child-like life. They want to be free from the stress of work and life even if freedom is only in the middle of paper... proof to denounce the ridiculousness of people today in order to have fun.
