Spine-chilling film or book genre (6)

I believe the answer is:

horror

(Other definitions for horror that I've seen before include "Intense aversion" , "Extreme aversion" , "Extreme fear or revulsion" , "Intense feeling of fear" , "Intense fear, loathing or disgust" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
