7. Paranormal
This is one of the most common horror genres. Paranormal movies often consist of one or more supernatural beings such as ghosts, spirits, witches and demons. Humans may become haunted or possessed, and may or may not survive until the end. Ghost movies create a fear of the unknown which brings a sense of mystery and excitement. Many of these films build up suspense by the use of atmosphere and music, revealing little about the ghost initially and using jump scares to create an unnerving experience. Prime examples of this sub-genre include Paranormal Activity, The Others, The Shining, The Sixth Sense and Poltergeist.
