STEPHEN KING’S HIERARCHY OF EMOTION
“I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud”
—Stephen King

GORE GENRE RELISHES THE GROSS OUT
It gets its tension by juxtaposingor ruining the “attractive.”
It’s often misogynistic.

HORROR VS. TERROR (STEPHEN KING)
Horror:the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm
Terror:when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there...

SURREALIST HORROR
Reality itself becomes warped but it is NOT EXPLAINED. Can only be interpreted.
There is a concrete cause (underlying logic) but it can’t be easily explained.
Emotional or paranoid logic rather than rational logic.
