Psychological horror

Imagine a spooky story that makes you feel scared and uncomfortable, but not because there are any monsters or ghosts jumping out at you. Instead, the story plays with your mind and emotions, making you feel uneasy and on edge. That's what psychological horror is all about.

It's like a puzzle for your brain! Instead of scaring you through physical danger, like a car chase or a monster, psychological horror creates a feeling of danger in your mind. This can be achieved through things like disturbing images or sounds, mysterious and twisted plot twists, or characters that are slowly revealed to be unreliable or untrustworthy.

Psychological horror can make your heart race and your palms sweat, even though nothing is physically happening. It can make you feel uneasy and nervous, even after you've stopped reading or watching the story. It's the kind of horror that gets under your skin and stays with you, long after the story is over.
