Bear-cam shot causing fear (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

macabre

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'causing fear' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'bear-cam shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'bear'+'cam'='bearcam'
'bearcam' is an anagram of 'MACABRE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for macabre that I've seen before include "Brace ma, being gruesome" , "'Grim, repellent (7)'" , "Shockingly horrible" , "'Sinister, gruesome (7)'" , "Dark and disturbing" .)
