Back when Gakko no Kaidan was popular the intro was enough to have me curl up in a ball screaming for my grandma to come change the channel or turn the tv off because I was too busy covering my ears >.<

I think it's the mentality of I fear what I can't control. If a serial killer was after me, even with torture death would eventually release me. With supernatural things, death might make things worse (depending on what your afterlife beliefs are)
