33:38Now PlayingMany people enjoy being scared and will happily pay for the pleasure of being frightened out of their lives. Tellers of ghost stories have profited from this shadowy side of our natures for centuries; today a considerable industry satisfies the needs of the cult followers of Horror magazines, Horror films - even Horror ballet.
Alan Whicker braves that Unspeakable Something in an attempt to find out why we like to be frightened, and talks to those who do the frightening for a living.
Clip taken from Whicker's World: I Don't Like My Monsters to Have Oedipus Complexes, originally broadcast on BBC One, 27 January, 1968.
