Terror — a word we're hearing WAY too much of these days. It's awful when real, but since the 1920s, when psychological terror made the leap from the novel to silent film, horror has been the genre of choice for vicarious fans of the macabre, the ominous, the morbid, the diabolical. These are the darkly poetic images associated with the often painful days of Scorpio. It's a taste that's both aesthetic and cathartic: a willful immersion in our ancient limbic emotions of danger and fear — and a defiant exercise of our impulse for self-preservation.
