  1. Horror v Terror

  2. Background • The consensus of the difference between horror and terror has basically stayed the same since Ann Radcliffe laid out her idea of the argument in her posthumously published essay, On the Supernatural in Poetry.

  3. AO3 • “Terror and horror are so far opposite, that the first expands the soul, and awakens the faculties to a high degree of life; the other contracts, freezes, and nearly annihilates them. • Now, if obscurity has so much effect on fiction, what must it have in real life, when to ascertain the object of our terror, is frequently to acquire the means of escaping it.”

  4. In plan English • We will say “I was terrified!” when telling a story which involves the fear of what might have happened, and we will say “I was horrified!” when we describe something unsettling which we have seen. In other words, terror is prevalent when not enough happens for the person to be “horrified” or completely unsettled by the situation, but he or she still knows enough to be afraid. Terror is the anticipation; horror is the reaction. However, you can have horror without first being terrified, just as you can be terrified without later obtaining a feeling of horror.

  5. Horror vs Terror in Hitchcock’s “Psycho” • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VP5jEAP3K4

  6. Difference? • Terror comes from not knowing or uncertainty. Terror is much more of a psychological matter than horror.  • Terror really makes you think. It in a sense makes you think about all the things that could go wrong, what could possibly be lurking around the corner or even how terrifying that monster really is. Where as horror is witnessing the actual monster, see a  gruesome murder take place or whatever the circumstance may be.

  7. Terror and Horror in WH? • Can you think of passages of terror and horror in WH? • Pick two passages in WH – one which elicits terror and one which elicits horror • Using the two passages answer the question, “WH tends to inspire more terror than horror”. How far do you agree with this statement? • Meet the AOs
