Horror Games: Why are We Drawn to Them?
Laying in bed at night isn't as difficult as much as one would think. In my youth I was one that found myself swooned to sleep by the articulated writings of H.P. Lovecraft. On Friday nights when I was six, I would sit on the couch beside my favorite stuffed bunny (whom I have to this day), and watch Sigourney Weaver and Bill Paxton team together to eliminate their xenomorph threat.

It's a dance that we've become all to familiar with no matter how painful it goes, no matter how bad we want to stop, and exit the floor.
