Horrifying or sensational (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lurid

I believe this is a double definition.

'horrifying' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'sensational' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for lurid that I've seen before include "Vivid, sensational" , "Sensational; colourful" , "Gloomily threatening" , "Glaring in colour, shockingly vivid" , "Awfully bright" .)
