anthology horror
Collected scary tales
Anthology horror is a format presenting multiple self-contained horror stories within a single work, connected by a framing device or theme.
The structure appears in films like *Creepshow* and *V/H/S*, television series like *The Twilight Zone* and *Black Mirror*, and literary collections.
The appeal lies in variety—each segment delivers a complete narrative with its own premise and payoff: We watched an anthology horror film where each story had a different monster.
