the differences and similarities between the horror and thriller genres

Horrors and thrillers share many of the same qualities, but they differ in several key points.

 

In Horrors main protagonists mainly seem to be high school students and young adults without a very detailed backstory and we don’t really get to know them through the story. Whereas the main antagonists seem to always be creepy old men or demonic spirits.

In thrillers the main protagonists seem to be older and wiser than their horror counter parts and they more developed backstory. The main antagonists of thriller sometimes the main protagonists “biggest” fan, close friends or long lost family members with their very own detailed backstory and where their connection with main protagonist comes from.

 

Visuals in horrors seem to contain a lot more blood, gore and some very violent scenes which make can a lot of people sometimes squeamish.

The visuals in thrillers contain less blood and gore but more psychological violence, violence that leaves the audience wondering what has happened that character.

 

Horrifying and thrilling are not in part the same thing. Horrifying is seeing something almost too scared to continue and give up. Whereas thrilling gives a sense of rush, making you run on adrenaline making you want to continue and keep going.

 

The setting and location for horrors usually consists of being set either somewhere deep in a wooded area or somewhere populated but the people living there don’t know what is going on.

The setting and location for thrillers usually involve locations that are isolated from any human contact and are not accessible from any main road and is usually a place that the main antagonist owns or knows where no one will find the main protagonist.
