horror anthologies
Frightening story compilations
Horror anthologies are collections of horror stories or films gathered into a single work.
In publishing, they compile short fiction from multiple authors: The horror anthology featured stories from Stephen King and Shirley Jackson.
In film and television, the format presents separate scary tales within one production, often with a framing device linking them.
The anthology format suits horror particularly well—short, contained scares that end before wearing out their welcome.
