Well, it’s that time of year again when everyone pulls out their sluttiest outfits and goes door to door offering tricks for treats. Halloween is so porn.
Don’t we all love to dress up and be someone else? Behind the mask, there are no consequences.
But Halloween is really about frightening ourselves. Terror gets your heart pounding, your pulse racing. You’re all panting breath and adrenalin coursing. It sets off in us that fight or flight instinct, and opens us up to our most animalistic behaviors. It forces us to face that most primal of multiple choice questions: Fuck it or kill it?
And horror is ultimately about facing our fear of death. It causes us to seek out comfort and the reaffirmation of life, generally in the form of sex. “Horror movies turn on chicks faster than porno.” And sex has always been a constant in the genre. There is the sensuality of the vampire who comes calling at night like a mist through our window, stealing into our beds while we sleep. The werewolf encourages us to give in to the beast within. Witches of were long thought to engage in sex with Satan and his minions, and often they represent a woman in complete control of her sexuality (ooo, scary!). Ghosts and demons possess us and make us do wicked things.
So give in to your masochistic desires – go find yourself a good scare on this Halloween. And then go hide under the covers with a good fuck.
