The quality of being horrific.“As for humor in horror, I'm beginning to think that it's almost necessary to make for an effective tale; speaking for myself, I've noticed that if I'm reading or watching something that's unrelentingly grim and focused too tightly on the general horribleness (horrificity? horribility?) that's going on, I tend to draw back from it, and it doesn't really GET me.”
