Horror in literature, film, and media
The horror genre is a category of storytelling designed to evoke fear, tension, and emotional unease. It often explores themes of the unknown, the uncanny, and the boundaries of human experience, using atmosphere, suspense, and psychological or physical threats to create a sense of dread. Horror frequently delves into dark or disturbing aspects of reality or imagination, emphasizing mood, mystery, and the anticipation of danger. Its purpose is not only to frighten but also to provoke reflection on vulnerability, morality, and the hidden fears that lie beneath the surface of everyday life.
