In movies the best parts are ussually the killing part. But why do people enjoy seeing these scenes. This goes for all the horror films also. Why do people enjoy seeing death in the worst way possible, but in real life situations they are almost in shock about what they saw or heard.

Because it is portrayed that way. Glamorous or sensationalized, thrilling, funny, or even artistic. And, often, the true consequences of killing may not be shown or may be underrepresented in violent movies (remorse, bereavement of the victim's loved ones, legal/criminal procedures).
There may also be a morbid fascination-obsession-fear associated with merely contemplating killing/death without actually going through the real thing.

That's true, even the thought of killing yourself looks better than seeing someone die in real life. In movies, it maybe be bacause people know that what they're seeing isn't real. And also, the worst-possible-way kinda deaths we see on screen seem unreal. So it doesn't effect people much.

The actuall problem I think that all movies are romantasized, if they werent then people would not enjoy watching them. So when it comes to the real deal they get all shocked and probably think"Wow, it doesnt happen this way in the movies..."For instance, girls like to think that life is a romantic comedy and like muscials and wish to them selves that everyone would burst out in song and dance, which is something that ISNT going to happen. LIfe is not a romantic comedy, life is not an anime/manga so dont expect it happen like one.

People like to feel scared when they know they arent really in any danger (ie, rollercoasters), and most are curious about death, since most people wont ever see a real person be murdered. (Not that anyone would want to)

It is probably some archetype letting loose within us from when we had to be that way to get from being one-celled creatures to the many cell animals we are now.
