How to use "Scare" in context?
There is something about a scare that can be so exhilarating. It's that feeling of fear and excitement that runs through your body when you know something might be wrong but you have no idea what it is. It's like being in the dark with the lights off, and you know something is waiting for you but you don't know what it is. That's the feeling of a scare. And it's all thanks to cinema.
Cinemas have always been able to create that feeling of unease and suspense in their audiences.
