Horror classic elicits edge, viscerally? (3,5)

'horror classic' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'elicits edge viscerally?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'edge' could be 'hem' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'hem' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'tummy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
