I myself am a long-standing fan of horror films. Ironically, I grew up watching most of them censored on AMC. I had very protective parents that would let me watch stuff, but it was always age-appropriate. So I had to wait till I was 13 to watch a PG-13 movie. So if something was rated R, but it was on cable television during the day, it was censored. So I grew up getting to watch some of the classic horror films. I really enjoyed a lot of what was on AMC. With Halloween just around the corner, it is the season for scaring. With that comes a showing of many new and old horror films. Horror films are popular for different reasons. I think with the general public, you have a love of horror because part of us likes to be scared because it helps us, I think, cope with our own more realistic fears more easily. The history of horror films presentation will be held at the Pike County Public Library on Lee Avenue on Thursday, October 6th at 5.30 PM.
