Bear in horror film released from trap (5)
I believe the answer is:
carry
'bear' is the definition.
(bear can mean to carry)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carry that I've seen before include "Bring" , "Transport; bear" , "Bear, tote" , "(Of sound) be audible at a distance" , "Convey, tote" .)
