- Audiences enjoy thrills to escape from the mundane nature of their lives
- These thrills are enjoyable because their subconscious knows that they are safe
- Audiences like thrillers because they can witness a scene of chaos, but from a safe point of view
- Thrills are more enjoyable for an audience than Horror because horror directors have to censor their work
- Horror creates "unnatural" excitement that puts the majority of viewers off watching
- Thrillers work best on screen as the viewer can see the danger as opposed it being inferred such as in theater
- Thrills can also be experienced through empathy for a character in danger.
