Virtual Hauntings: Crafting a Thesis on Horror in VR/AR

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are tasked with writing an essay about how horror experiences in VR and AR differ from traditional horror media (like films and books). Consider the immersive qualities of VR and AR, the psychological impact they may have on users, and how these technologies can enhance or detract from the horror experience. Your goal is to develop a nuanced thesis statement that captures your angle of exploration on this topic. Reflect on the emotional responses elicited by such immersive experiences—what makes them unique? What potential do they hold for redefining horror storytelling? After forming your thesis statement, provide a brief outline of supporting arguments that you would utilize in your essay.
