Western Horror is a subgenre of horror that combines traditional horror elements with themes and settings typical of the American West. This genre often features desolate landscapes, isolated communities, and the rugged individualism associated with the Wild West. It explores fears related to lawlessness, the supernatural, and the unknown, often using folklore and local legends. Common motifs in Western Horror include encounters with monsters, ghosts, or cursed artifacts, set against a backdrop of dusty towns and vast, empty spaces. Films like The Burrowers and Bone Tomahawk exemplify this blend, showcasing how the harsh realities of frontier life can intertwine with terrifying supernatural elements.
