Like some horror flicks (4)
I believe the answer is:
gory
'like some horror flicks' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for gory that I've seen before include "Covered in blood" , "Maybe gruesome" , "Grisly" , "Involving much bloodshed" , "Steeped in blood" .)
