horror films
Movies featuring monsters
Horror films are movies designed to frighten, unsettle, or disgust viewers through suspense, supernatural elements, violence, or psychological dread.
The genre encompasses everything from slasher films to supernatural thrillers to psychological horror: We watched horror films all night on Halloween.
Horror films often explore cultural anxieties—fears of technology, the unknown, or social breakdown—through monsters, serial killers, or apocalyptic scenarios.
