Death to Traditional Horror Elements
Today, together, we mourn the loss of traditional horror elements.
The literary elements that once scared us, such as gore and shock effect, are now a thing of the past. We no longer have the ability to rely on cheap blood and cliche slashers to keep us awake at night, fearing our own dreams. Whatever may we do?!
But fear not, feeble peasants, for the (not so) Great, H.P. Lovecraft gifts us with a new taste for fear. As we break free from the shackles of corn syrup mixed with red dye, we enter a new era in which we are left with detachment and unanswered questions. As his work emphasizes our vulnerable and weak sanity, he broadens the characteristics of what makes a piece of literature, horror.
