<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Psychological horror''' is a subgenre of horror that uses the characters' internal psychological fears and beliefs to create a sense of horror. <br />
<br />
Psychological horror works may or may not include fantastic or unreal elements. The horror may be solely in the mind of the narrator (especially if an [[unreliable narrator]] or a [[women and madness|mad or insane]] narrator), or it may be based on the character's natural and normal response to an abnormal and horrific situation. However, if the latter, a work of psychological horror derives at least a substantial part of the audience/reader's sense of horror from the confusion, fear, anxiety, and other psychological/emotional responses of the character/protagonist, and not solely from the horrific nature of the actions or environment the character finds itself in. <br />
