The Art of Jump-Scares
As horror enthusiasts, we all know how to spot an upcoming jumpscare. One horribly unpleasant tone increasing in volume, eerie violin music fading in, a first-person perspective from around a doorway, watching the character stare into seemingly empty darkness... We've learned to recognize the signs, and with such, we've learned to prepare ourselves for these scares. We've developed an immunity, in a sense. Jump-scares are something that attack our senses on a primal level, and thus we adapt on an equally primal level, learning and memorizing patterns.
