Good points. But of course she says these things sarcastically as she feels displaced by the family viewing habits which are all about Dr. Who and so she excludes herself. She just doesn't understand why everyone can't love horror. (do you think there ever might be a real zombie apocalypse?)

Rollercoasters involve trauma too but you see kids lined up for miles to get on them with mom and dad. Getting real life trauma and jolts from seeing violence up close and personal is way different than watching it on a screen or reading it in a book when you know that it's a construction or simulacra.

I always have separate conversations with those youth who declare military or police service and like to have front line workers in my class, and spend lots of time on Remembrance Day and in adult relationship talks about what real life trauma is about, so that we can put some things in perspective and also get a handle on what kind of life or work we want to do. My daughter is entirely afraid of underwater movies and real life blood (that's why I think surgery is not in her cards) and I think that the difference between real horror and fictitious horror is very, very far apart.
