It’s horror movie time ...and when it comes to scary movies it seems that people either love ‘em or hate ‘em. Not too many people are neutral on the subject. If you’re a fan of scary movies, experts say these are some possible reasons why:

Being scared can give you an adrenaline rush. Horror movies can trigger your brain’s fight or flight response.
Even though you’re terrified and your heart is racing … you know you are safe. There’s something about getting to that edge, and then turning back – knowing you are not in real danger.
It helps you prepare for the worst and learn how to cope. The world can be a scary place sometimes. Watching fictional characters deal with it can helps us learn how to cope with our own fears and anxieties.
It lets you explore your own dark side. People may not want to admit it but there are parts of them that want to lash out sometimes. Watching horror movies allows them to do that.
It makes you think you’re different than the victim-- and therefore more likely to survive. Watching people in horror movies make stupid moves and decisions convinces us that if we were in those situations, we wouldn’t make those poor choices and would survive. (Health)

Her husband captured her run on video and shared it on TikTok.

We are quickly approaching engagement season-- 47% of engagements happen between Thanksgiving and New Year’s – and if you’re looking for an over-the-top proposal, two hotels in Santa Monica, California, are here for you. Shutters on the Beach and Hotel Casa del Mar are offering a “The Sky’s the Limit” engagement package – and when they say the sky’s the limit, they’re not kidding. The packages, which begin at $9,900, include the engagement ring delivered by a drone and the entire proposal filmed by hidden cameras and a second drone. The package also includes a one-night stay in an ocean-view suite, a bottle of champagne, dinner for two, and a fully-produced engagement documentary. Not enough for you? You can upgrade the package with a number of options – including having a message on the Ferris wheel at the Santa Monica Pier that reads, “Marry Me.” (Travel & Leisure)
