Hallway Of Fear

Feel the cold dark chill of the unknown as you tiptoe down this dark hallway. Historically, the cause of the "horror" experience has often been the intrusion of a supernatural element into everyday human experience. Legends about haunted houses have long appeared in literature and film. Early horror movies were largely based on classic literature of the gothic/horror genre. More recent horror films, in contrast, often draw inspiration from the insecurities of life after World War II in three distinct sub-genres: the horror-of-personality, the horror-of-armageddon, and the horror-of-the-demonic.
