What is sexy in horror?<\/p>\nWhat is sexy in horror?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve touched on this before and anyone who\u2019s read any of my fiction will know that I have a thing for vampires and the odd succubus. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s uncommon for horror themes to impinge on sexuality and sexual fetishes. There are however some aspects of horror and superstition that work in a sexual sense and other which don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Of course it\u2019s different for everyone and I\u2019m sure that I have relatively conservative and \u201cmainstream\u201d horror-erotic tastes; Vampires, goth chicks, naught daemons etc, all do it for me. Whereas zombies do not get my juices going, no thank you to golems and bloody gut fests, they may be good for a laugh and jump out of your seat thrills but they will not get my trouser snake moving.<\/p>\n
For me I suppose it\u2019s the extreme versions of humanity itself that vampires and daemons represent. They are either representative of, and\/or driven by a narrow subset of human motivations, often personifying certain aspects of the human psyche, or they are flawed in way that we all are \u2013 just to the extreme. They are powerful yet ultimately tragic and therefore potent and dangerous.<\/p>\n
I suppose too that they are simply exotic, different and out of the ordinary in the way that human beings struggle to be now. In a connected world even people from distant countries have much more in common and a greater knowledge of each others societies than they had only a few years ago. The mythological creatures which have evolved out of thousands of years of human folklore are still unusual and unlike anything we encounter in daily life and that is their enduring appeal.<\/p>\n
