From Horace Walpole and Mary Shelley to Clive Barker and Garth Marenghi. From The Haunted Curiosity Shop to Shaun of the Dead. British horror has revolutionised and revitalised the genre. This is the community to celebrate this. Local horror for local people, no-tails also welcome.

I will burn on this hill. It's a mystery/suspense film.

A movie can be more than one genre. It can be both a mystery and a horror film.

The movie is about a cult that sacrifices people. A ton of horror movies involve the main character(s) figuring out a mystery with a ton of suspense along the way and the horror being revealed at the end.
