In horror, monsters of the traditional age were abominations of religious culture whether they were cursed, abnormalities or bastard children. Modern horror was a fusion of technology and humans where we are shocked by the deformities of the transformation of a man. In this time, horror relies on the feeling of death. Death is a stage we are uncertain of and because of that, it is utilized in horror where we speculate the darkness that death holds. Ghosts, devils, vampires, zombies, and other horrifying subjects are a common asset to induce horror in media because they are already dead , therefore the audience is horrified of life after death. Gore is also used for the audience to indirectly experience the terrifying pain which the character has to endure. Traditional subject have been used in media and is becoming splurged or originality. Is there a way to go beyond tradition to cook up a new and much more terrifying subject for horror?
