Response to Stephen king’s “Why We Crave Horror Movies” While reading there the paper by Stephen king, I was a little disturbed, there were some jokes that were over bored. However, I do agree with Stephen king statement “we’re all mentally ill”. I believe that everyone has a certain level of mental illness, some more then others.

The pitchfork joke would probably be the most disturbing thing I read in Stephen king’s paper, but I also had little gigl over it, so I did feel something. What it comes down to is that no matter who you are, there is even the littlest of a mentally illness inside of
