&#8211; 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have increasingly become interested in the type of \u2018spectacle\u2019 that utilizes fear and elements of the unknown to attract an audience.\u00a0 Whether it be the horror genre, the freak-show, or just the promise of abnormalities, I am curious to explore human nature\u2019s fascination of the morbid and common unknowns.\u00a0 I am also curious to explore how much of the \u2018spectacle\u2019 is experienced in anticipation of the actual event and how the viewer\u2019s, and society\u2019s, generalized conceptions of the morbid and unknown works to create a common visceral reaction to the content before the event even unfolds.\u00a0 The viewer then anticipates the event\u2019s climax so that their elongated anticipation of the unknown results in an almost \u2018play-terror\u2019 or in just relieved disappointment.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-78\"
