    “Horror stories are designed to make our pulses race and our skin tingle” ( pg. 90). Horror stories are made so people can get out of their comfort zone and experience something they wouldn't want to in life through a movie, book and plays. Horror stories come with a lot of different types of suspense and how the author or the director try to create suspense. A couple of ways they do that is foreshadowing, withholding the information from the reader, making characters choose between two different actions and a reversal of personality between characters. Horror films wouldn’t be scary if there wasn’t any suspense because that's what creates all the hype in the movies.…

Such a vision is undoubtedly astonishing; in looking at the developed societies of today, the effects of technology on the populaces so uncannily resemble those described by Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451, showing that the future which he so desperately tried to prevent…
