The Weird

The genre of Horror can be so many different things, but one thing it always satisfies and ends up being, is how weird they are. Weather it be how creepy and weird the monster or villain is, the setting in which it takes place, or even the way someone gets killed or stolen or whatever! Weird is in the nature of horror and I believe it could not live without it. And after reading King Rat by Mieville’s it definitely fits under the horror role of weird. What made it weird is the fact that it was different like the Cabin in the woods it is weird because it is out of the normal. Because of books of and movies like these I feel like the future of Horror is going to change slightly but for the better. Because of these types of books and movies we realize what is being over done and that we need a change in how we view horror. I feel like the future of horror is going to start using real world elements rather then the paranormal. Simply because in this day and age people are generally more scared of things that can come true rather then old myths and legends of monsters. Soon the reality of movies like the Cabin in the woods will not be so weird and instead start being more common.
