Frank Spotnitz Cathartic Quotations

I believe people love to be scared because it's a cathartic experience, because you get to experience all those emotions, all those fears you have, whether somebody shows them on TV or not. And a hero, or heroes, take you through it, they make sense of it, and they emerge victorious at the end of the hour. And by the end of that hour, you feel better and you feel safer. I really believe that. I don't think the way to deal with fears is not to dramatize them.

People love to be scared because it's a cathartic experience, because you get to experience all those emotions, all those fears you have ... and a hero or heroes take you through it, they make sense of it, and they emerge victorious at the end of the hour. By the end of the hour, you feel better and you feel safer.
