Horror Genre and its origin ...

Horror genre has been in the entertainment industry for a long time. It started as scary stories being told near a camp fire or before bedtime or test of courage games. It was used to have fun with your friends and family, until it took the attention of the publishers and writers and painters. The painters started to paint scary faces and scary environments. They would use these paintings in the fairs or to make a living. As it was a new genre, it took the attention of the public and a lot of people became interested in this.
