Concept
Disability and Horror
Disability is often employed in horror pieces as something to be feared and the monster, murderer, or other type of antagonist in a horror piece is often disabled. Cheyne identifies five dominate sensations one might expect to be conjured about in a horror piece: uneasiness, vulnerability, anxiety, repulsion, and revulsion. These are all elements synonymous with the word "horror" itself which encapsulates the presumed affect of work within the genre.
