Is dystopian a form of horror?
I've often wondered, is dystopian really a form of horror? On the surface, it seems to evoke images of bleak, oppressive societies where freedom and hope are in short supply. But can we really equate that with the traditional trappings of horror, like monsters, ghosts, and supernatural elements? Or is dystopian more of a commentary on the potential dangers of society and technology, rather than a straight-up scare fest? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you see dystopian as a horror genre, or is it something else entirely?
