Genres

A genre is a style or category of art, music, or literature. Horror is the genre we have chosen for our opening required to complete AS media studies.
A sub-genre is a subdivision of a genre of literature, music, film, etc. A sub-genre of horror could be; comedy, it will combine horrific events with comedic for example Shaun of the Dead (2004).
A hybrid genre blends themes and elements from two or more different genres. In horror there are 2 main types of hybrid films; the first is Deadlands which is a cross between western and horror and the second is Alien which is a cross between sci-fi and horror.
