Horror film
A horror film is a movie that seeks to elicit a physiological reaction, such as an elevated heartbeat, through the use of fear and shocking one’s audiences. Initially often inspired by literature from authors like Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley, horror has existed as a film genre for more than a century. The macabre and the supernatural are frequent themes. Horror may also overlap with the fantasy, supernatural fiction and thriller genres. Horror films often aim to evoke viewers' nightmares, fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. Plots within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage into the everyday world.

Guillermo del Toro
Guillermo del Toro Gómez (; born October 9, 1964) is a Mexican film director, screenwriter, producer, and novelist. In his filmmaking career, del Toro has alternated between Spanish-language dark fantasy pieces, such as the gothic horror films "The Devil's Backbone" (2001) and "Pan's Labyrinth" (2006), and more mainstream American action films, such as the vampire superhero action film "Blade II" (2002), the supernatural superhero film "Hellboy" (2004), its sequel "" (2008), and the science fiction monster film "Pacific Rim" (2013). The fantasy "The Shape of Water" (2017), received critical acclaim and won a Golden Lion at the 74th Venice International Film Festival.
Night of the Living Dead
Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 American independent horror film directed, shot and edited by George A. Romero, co-written by Romero and John Russo, and starring Duane Jones and Judith O'Dea. The story follows characters Ben (Jones), Barbra (O'Dea), and five others trapped in a rural farmhouse in western Pennsylvania, which is besieged by a large and growing group of unnamed "living dead" monsters.

The film grossed $12 million domestically and $18 million internationally, earning over 150 times its budget.
Misogyny in horror films
Misogyny can occur in horror films when there is a degrading representation of women. This is found particularly in slasher films, where there is often gendered specific violence towards women. Female characters experience violence and brutality at the hands of male antagonists far more often than male characters in these films. Female characters are more likely to experience sexual violence, particularly in the rape-and-revenge subgenre. Women in horror films are typically reduced to roles that are considered tropes, such as the final girl, the blond victim and the femme fatale. Mark Edmundson believes that watching horror films is one way that some people have of dealing with evil.
