Cult Horror

Cult horror refers to a subgenre of horror films and literature that have a dedicated, often niche fan base, even if they may not achieve mainstream success. These works often feature unique storytelling, unconventional themes, or experimental styles, which can disturb or provoke thought. Cult horror films, such as "The Evil Dead" or "A Nightmare on Elm Street," frequently include elements of dark humor, social commentary, or surrealism. Over time, they gain popularity through word of mouth, midnight screenings, or home video, building a loyal following that celebrates their distinctiveness and often embraces the unconventional aspects of the genre.
