'Horror can deal with the mundane or the supernatural, with the fantastic or the normal. It doesnt have to be full of ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night. Its only true requirement is that it elicit and emotional reaction that includes some aspect of fear or dread.' - This is taken from the Horror Writers Association.

When discussing Horror as a form of entertainment, it is most definitely the least complicated, as its main objective is to produce fear and terror within an audience unlike drama which demands many other emotions. 'The basic concept of Horror is; the hero must fight against horrific forces for his life - and ften his soul', this remains the same 'whether the antagonist is a monster, a ghost or a feral animal'.
