horror is suited to exploring unpleasant things—analogous to the relationship between, say, adolescence and horror (e.g., De Palma, Carrie, 1976), sexual violence and horror (e.g., Scott, Alien, 1979), or racism and horror (e.g., Peele, Get Out, 2017). Rather, the special relationship between grief and horror lies in the latter’s ability to intimately capture and communicate the phenomenology of grief and, in doing so, help the bereaved make sense of their experience.
