Abstract

Researchers consider American horror movies to be the scariest of all the horror films currently on the market. Usually, they do not just have made-up horror stories. There are also movies or movie type reality shows with real events as the background. For researchers, it is reasonable to propose the physical and psychological impact of American horror movies based on these backgrounds. Although it happens to a few people. But this is indeed a niche social problem. These social problems have consequences that hurt people, not like illnesses that kill people directly. It is more of a psychological trauma, but it is also a physical injury, but it is a small part of the injury. To sum up, researchers have always considered this to be one of the psychological problems worthies of attention. So researchers used questionnaires to confirm people's views on this matter. The number of people interviewed in this method is not large enough to represent the majority opinion. Also, time was too short so researcher do not collect enough number of people’s opinion to stronger prove her opinion. But this small group of people is very representative. However, in another hand it was true for some of the types of people interviewed. From the final result, the interview had some effect. The above interview summary can also prove that the people interviewed and their circle of friends do conform to the researcher's conjecture. Finally, there are still some problems with this research method in general.
