One of the first horror art forms: myths

Aspects of those myths still the same in

horror art through ages

A few aspects that describe scary stories started in the

mythologies and were used by nightmarish art through the ages.

But still those aspects are the aspects that make a scary story, scary.

Is it a instinctive thing that we are scared by these things or are they

made by stories and society that we are now afraid of those aspects?


Those aspects are:



. Losing control and being punished (become stone or turn into something)


. Creatures half human half animal (inhumane)


. Hunted and eaten (by animals and humans)


. Afraid of dead


. Locked, trapped, darkness


. Underwold & Spiritual world


. Darkness


. Spiders
