Fright on screen

Horror movies are films designed to frighten, unsettle, or disturb viewers through suspense, supernatural elements, violence, or psychological dread.

The genre encompasses everything from slasher films to ghost stories to psychological thrillers.

We watched horror movies all night on Halloween.

Someone who enjoys being scared might be called a horror movie fan or simply say I'm into horror.
