'horror is one stuck in road in dartmoor?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'horror is one stuck in road in' is the wordplay.
'horror' becomes 'imp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'stuck in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' put inside 'rd' is 'roned'.
'is' inserted into 'roned' is 'risoned'.
'imp'+'risoned'='IMPRISONED'
