| | Horror fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fictional characters have found themselves in horrifying situations from the earliest recorded tales. | | | A variation on the Gothic formula that remains one of the most enduring and imitated horror works is Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel Frankenstein (1818, revised version 1831). | | | This kind of supernatural character, combining evil with sinister charm, has since been much used and elaborated by horror writers. |

| | Children of a Darker God: A Taxonomy of Deep Horror Fiction and Film and Their Mass Popularity |
| | For present purposes, the phrase "deep horror" will be used to identify this popular fascination and to distinguish it from the merely shocking or terrifying and from the traditional intellectual roots of horror and further to stipulate its significantly dreadful character and appeals. | | | The rape-murder of his wife by a masked husband in the film Jagged Edge (1985) is a distillation of deep horror's anonymous, nonredemptive sundering of all things human: spirit, soul, inner being, love, intimacy, and body. | | | A social parallel to this phenomenon is the Christianization of the pagan All Hallow's Eve/Halloween from one of the deadliest nights of the year (James 227-28) to the domesticated and disinhibited All Saints' Day and "Beggars' Night." These transformations illustrate why what might terrify a particular era's audience might reduce another's to giggles. |
