In Cinema

A movie about horror Characters playing with mirror Reflecting images of furor Dissecting with knives of terror Villains of phantasm Heels of sarcasm Viewers of spasm Breaking apart like chasm Stories of apparition Product of man's illusion Overshadowing people's intuition Instinct over perception Curtains of cinema, wide open and free Watchers of stigma, cold hands on knee Lesson of the story, mind over body Shadows of mystery, glimpse of artistry

I wonder what draws us toward horror? Perhaps as you say, ‘instinct over perception’ invoking fear, then overcoming it. Enjoyed the write, Cliff
