Horror
fiction is, broadly, fiction in any medium intended to scare, unsettle, or
horrify the viewer. Historically, the cause of the "horror" experience has often
been the intrusion of an evil or occasionally misunderstood supernatural
element into everyday human experience. Since the 1960s, any work of fiction
with a morbid, gruesome, surreal, or exceptionally suspenseful or frightening
theme has come to be called "horror."
