The appeal of horror movies is that they give people a way to experience the thrill of terror without actually having to put themselves in harm's way. For the vast majority of us, the movie theater will be the closest we ever get to genuine horror.
For others, though, the horror of demons, ghosts, and murderers has real-world significance. These are the people who look closely at real life and realize just how chilling it can be. For evidence of this, look no further than the following pictures, stripped right from the headlines. The world is a scary place indeed.
Warning: a few of these are NSFW.
