It is an age-veteran adage of horror cinema that we are more panicked by what we don’t see than what we do see. No matter the explicitness or stomach-churning sights that the big screen can conjure up,nothing can match the limitless terrorism our own minds create. Whether or not you believe that’s true, it’s certainly been a driving ethos for the genre since its early days. Horror novels and stories are chock full of moments of dread wherein the author says the monster or ghost or paranormal force is simply too petrifying to describe with mere words.
