When julie and her boyfriend jack watch frightening horror movies together, they often experience explosive feelings of passionate affection for each other. use your understanding of the physiology of emotion and the spillover effect to explain why horror movies could fuel their romantic feelings?

When watching a horror movies, our body willl release an adrenaline which will increase the rate of our heart beat.
When we experience this next to someone that we like, our mind could interpret it as sexual attraction towards that person, which will enchance the romantic feelings that both of them felt.
