A horror anthology is a collection of short stories or films that focus on themes of horror, suspense, and the supernatural. Each story typically features different characters, settings, and plots, allowing for a variety of chilling experiences. This format enables writers and filmmakers to explore diverse aspects of fear and the macabre without being tied to a single narrative. Horror anthologies can be found in various media, including literature, television, and film. Notable examples include Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Twilight Zone, and the Creepshow series. These collections often attract audiences who enjoy the thrill of quick, intense scares.
