Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 35-36). ‘The Popularity of Supernatural Entertainment among the Young Adults in Bangladesh’, in this particular topic, the substantial role of body and mind behind enjoying the supernatural genre of movies and TV series is significantly being highlighted. Setting some objectives, I also tried to shed light on the matter that how the globalization, strategies of the producers as well as the faith system evolving this genre of entertainment over time. As many anthropologists worked on various issues so I thought to relate my thesis with those miscellaneous works on culture, individuality and belief system. A very interesting finding that I discovered is that most of the informants in their real life do not even believe whatever is being portrayed in the films/series. They rather like to enjoy this entertainment out of pure pleasure, excitement and for the sake of getting the conflated taste of mystery, adventure, thriller, fear and suspense at the same time. They are not negatively driven by the plots in any phase of their lives though they prefer the psychological or paranormal horror mostly as these two types could be linked with the reality, Therefore, to some extent this supernatural genre is a good source for getting excitement and frightening sense for a time being, unless and until it gets pernicious to the audiences psychologically or physically.
