Answer 2
It would certainly be unusual to find fictionalcharacters attractive, let alone horror fictional characters.

Being "too" attracted to horror, particularly in a fanatical orsexual sense, implies psychological disturbance. Psychologists haveconcluded that those who have such strong attractions to horrorhave low empathy, some level of depression and high sensationseeking. It's also been found that people who have closeattractions, fanatic or sexual, to horror figures, have a strongidentification with the figure, unconsciously revealing the desireto re-enact such events in real life. We have seen this recently inthe case if the "Slenderman Girls" from Wisconsin, US, who had afanatical attraction to the fictional character - Slenderman,leading them to commit an awful crime.
