Why do you think that horror films happen in cycles? In your opinion what is it about horror films that makes this happen?
Horror films follow a cycle because of the change in the audience's perception of what they consider scary. For example, during the war era, people would fear science and the potential for an atomic war. As war erupts again and again, the audience will fear such events again and again. Returning back to old styles of cinema and recreating them has always been popular among filmmakers. The horror film is especially prominent in this factor because it specifically targets the fear factor of the audience. Fear is often an emotion that unites people, as it speaks to their strong natural instinct.
