horror (theme)

Unsettling images that provoke fear, uneasiness and dread from the viewer. If a character seems to feel this way but the image as a whole is not creepy to the viewer, then use scared instead.

This tag may include common tropes related to the horror genre particularly those related to creating an atmospheric effect. Depictions of body mutilation may apply towards this tag, but in most cases the gore tag should be used instead.

Not to be confused with

  • body_horror - The tag for body parts where they shouldn't be.
