This presentation delves into consumption of paranormal horror, such as visits to haunted houses and horror movies, which people seek out for enchantment. In line with the research conducted at the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University, enchantment is described as a liminal state between pleasant and unpleasant, as well as between reality and fantasy. The empirical examples presented illustrate how unexpected and unusual events simultaneously are described as fearful and exciting; an act of balance which can be explained through the cognitive theory of predictive processing. The paper moreover illustrates the interactional loop between media consumption and religion, which seem to impact each other in various ways.
