I think horror films happen in cycles because they reflect the current demographic of horror movie watchers. Horror movies reflect our cultural fears, allowing us to face them directly. The video explains how horror films are constantly being adapted to fit into the climate of society. For example, Post WW1 resulted in a lot of expressionism films being created to reflect the post-war anxieties and fears that were left in Europe. I think horror films act as a medium for people to express their emotions and externalize them.
