Frightening Stories As Entertainment Frightening Stories as Entertainment Throughout many years, frightening stories were told and passed down in order to keep people entertained and amused. In the past, before television and radio were invented, telling stories and myths was a form of entertainment, which never seemed to have disappeared. Now, in the present, these stories and myths are being presented on television to entertain the audience. Many tales and myths are presented in all different cultures of the world. People always found it a thrill to tell these tales and to be frightened by them. In addition, these tales and myths of goblins, monsters, and witchcraft were not only told as a form of amusement, but they would also explain certain incidents that seemed to be out of the ordinary. However, during the Romantic era, people became less susceptible in believing these imaginary myths and more interested in reading the frightening literature that was presented in order to enjoy a "good" fright. An example of this can be seen in the writings of Edgar Allan Poe who introduced a new type of villain. His approach was to show the audience psychopathic killers who would commit extremely realistic crimes.
