Horror Movies Increasing Attraction?

It might sound weird but it’s true.  Although horror movies might not be for everyone, studies have shown that situations that elevate your arousal lead to heightened attraction.  The images and sounds on the screen signal the release of the fight-or-flight hormones adrenaline and cortisol. Your heart races, breathing speeds up, your senses sharpen, and your energy level skyrockets, almost as if you yourself were in the movie. Your mind knows is not real so your body gets to experience this “high” without putting yourself in any real danger. “ In a classic study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers found a link between anxiety-provoking situations and increased sexual arousal. So when you freak out while watching a scary movie with a date, you may be more attracted to your partner (and vice versa). ”
