Horror

Horror is a genre of literature, film, and other forms of art that aims to elicit feelings of fear, dread, or shock from its audience. It often involves supernatural elements, monsters, or psychological tension, and explores themes such as mortality, the unknown, and the darker aspects of human nature. The narrative typically includes suspenseful situations, a sense of urgency, and the portrayal of characters in peril. Horror can range from gothic fiction to psychological thrillers and can evoke a range of emotions, from fear and disgust to fascination and excitement. The use of atmospheric settings, disturbing imagery, and intense sound effects often heightens the experience. In essence, horror seeks to provoke a visceral reaction, causing the audience to confront their fears and anxieties in a safe and controlled environment.
