Too many Horrors!!!

Is it bad when you start to imagine your everyday life as a horror movie? Not in the sense that you hate your job or this and that... but think about what would happen to so-and-so if this was a horror movie. Or when some conversations turn to ''How would it feel if this happened?'' and you think not in just that psychological thriller way that keeps you in suspense, but the Saw IV way. The blood, guts, and gore. These little things fascinate and infuriate me... like a book about a serial killer who will pull out about 2 or 3 feet of intestine from a 2 inch incision right below their victim's belly button. Or a kidnapper who will drip acid onto their victim just for thrills. I read these books and watch these movies because I enjoy them, yes, but also because I like to figure out who or what is behind the violent acts... because I like to figure out the mystery. Why do these people do what they do? What or who made their minds so messed up that they find a thrill or pleasure in hurting other people. I want to get inside their heads and find a way that will help them solve their problems... and in that way help save the people who would be their victims. I still wonder sometimes if I read too many thrillers... or watch too many horrors.
