Horror

Horror is a genre of literature, film, and other art forms that seeks to elicit feelings of fear, dread, and suspense in its audience. It often involves supernatural elements, such as monsters, ghosts, and otherworldly beings, but can also feature psychological themes, including the exploration of human fears and anxieties. The primary aim of horror is to provoke an emotional response through tension, shock, or uncanny situations, typically revolving around dark or macabre themes. Common subgenres include psychological horror, slasher films, supernatural horror, and gothic horror. The effectiveness of horror often relies on atmosphere, imagery, and the manipulation of narrative devices to create an unsettling experience.
