      Think of thrillers more like rollercoaster rides - they’re fun because they’re exciting and sometimes scary

      Horror is more like haunted houses, they’re fun because they’re scary, which is sometimes exciting

      This is the interesting thing about genres - they’re often abstract and can blur definitions easily. The same way we don’t consider a hot dog or a pop tart a sandwich, even though you can often find the definition of a sandwich in each.

      Horror is blood and gore. Thriller is scary (ghosts etc) but no (or only little) blood.
