I feel that going to a horror movie (in the theater) and allowing ourselves to experience "horror" in a safe environment is tremendously cathartic. If you really surrender to a movie (I still get chills at a good one) and let it affect you, then you can purge a certain level of anxiety created by real world nightmares.

I find that people who dig horror tend to be more relaxed and generally happier than those who don't - those who don't have a release for the terrors of daily life.
