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."
