Cute horror is a subgenre that blends elements of horror with adorable or whimsical aesthetics. It often features characters or creatures that are designed to be endearing, such as cute monsters, friendly ghosts, or adorable zombies. This juxtaposition creates a playful atmosphere, allowing audiences to enjoy spooky themes without the intense fear typically associated with traditional horror. In cute horror, the narratives often focus on lighthearted scenarios, where the horror elements are more humorous than terrifying. Examples include animated films like "Coraline" or video games such as "Little Nightmares," where the eerie visuals are balanced by charming character designs, making the experience enjoyable for a wider audience.
