Mr. Briggs Inc. Wrote:No, just having a certain monster or element does not make it horror, the reason they are called "horror romance" or "horror comedy" is simply for convenience IMO, to indicate what sorts of elements are contained within. In a way it works because such elements much more often than not originate from horror.

I Agree! But like I said above - True Horror will make you scream, cry, cringe, laugh in a psycho way, or make you turn on your night light! Laughing-satan
