'''Horror [[movie]]s''' are films intended to inspire feelings of suspense or fear in viewers. The genre of horror is very wide and can be divided into several sub-categories; perhaps the most important division among horror movies is the motivation behind the film, whether there is a purpose in provoking fear in the audience or whether it is done for its own sake. Often, especially in more modern horror movies, the means through which fear is stimulated (which may include [[violence]]) stirs up controversy.
