Compare the experience of waiting for a Monster to jump out of a closet (horror) with the experience of actually seeing the scary monster after it has jumped out (terror). Of course, horror can still be felt after the monster(s) etc. is revealed, especially when the word is used in the sense connotating revulsion. A good example is found in the film Rosemary's Baby . The horror in that film is not only anticipatory, but is equal (if not greater) at the moment of revelation at the end of the film and all that it implies for the future. Horror is also a genre of film and Fiction that relies on horrifying images or situations in telling stories and prompting reactions in their audiences. |
