What defines a horror movie? <\/h2>\n

The horror film genre has been around for over a century, and shows no signs of slowing down. From early classics like Frankenstein and Dracula, to modern hits like The Conjuring and Saw, horror movies have always been popular with audiences. What is it about these movies that keep people coming back for more?<\/p>\n

For many, horror movies are a way to vicariously experience fear and suspense. They provide a safe way to explore the dark side of human nature, and to confront our own fears and nightmares.
