what is psychological horror?
In: Technology
If horror primarily deals with threats to the body (being murdered, tortured, disfigured,
etc.), psychological horror deals with threats to the mind (hallucinating, going insane, being possessed or controlled, etc.)
There’s obviously plenty of room for overlap in substance, but psychological horror also has a particular _style_. Authors have direct access to their audience’s minds in a way they don’t for their bodies, so they can do more than just depict violence and gore. They can actually give the audience something of the experience that their characters are having.
