There is three categories when it comes to deciding what makes something scary. The three categories would be...
-------------------------
Category #1
-------------------------
-Monsters:
-Threat-Fusion
-Fission (metonyme)
-------------------------
Category #2
-------------------------
-Location:
-Danger-Death
-Isolation
-Liminality
-------------------------
Category #3
-------------------------
-Jump Scares:
-When not to use-When to use
-------------------------
We will go into detail later into the book.
These are the three most common and important parts to make something appear/seem scary.
Chapter Two will explain the first category, Monsters.
