Horror, no matter the medium, has always retained some influence of philosophy. Horror literature, cinema, comic books and television expose audiences to an ""alien"" reality, playing with the logical mind and challenging ""known"" concepts such as normality, reality, family and animals.

Lovecraft; horror authors Blake Crouch and Paul Tremblay; Indian film; the television series Atlanta; and the horror comic book Dylan Dog.
