The beginning or the end of Highlander ? Or The Shining ? (6)
I believe the answer is:
horror
'the shining ?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'the beginning or the end of highlander ? or' is the wordplay.
'the beginning' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the end of' says to take the final letters.
'highlander ?' becomes 'hor' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The last letter of 'or' is 'r'.
'r' after 'hor' is 'horr'.
'horr'+'or'='HORROR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for horror that I've seen before include "Terror; film genre" , "Awfulness" , "Extreme fright and disgust" , "Hatred, dismay; film genre" , "Extreme aversion" .)
