chiller
Scary movie type
A chiller is something that chills.
In refrigeration, it's a machine that cools water or other fluids for industrial or building climate control.
In entertainment, a chiller is a horror story or thriller designed to make your blood run cold: We watched an old chiller from the 1950s.
The word suggests suspense and creeping dread rather than outright gore.
