Pop-horror is an internet aesthetic and artistic movement that blends elements of bubblegum pop, YA, and pastel/soft aesthetics with horror.
Although the broad parameters of "pop-horror" may encapsulate many works of film, music, and literature throughout the ages, pop-horror is mainly thought of as a contemporary, online phenomenon. The term "pop-horror" was first coined by the internet artist's collective Count the Clock.
The common "pop" elements used by pop-horror include pastel colors (especially pink and blue), high-school iconography (cheerleaders, prom queens), and the use of bubblegum pop music. The "horror" elements commonly employed include gore and stylized violence, as well as psychological themes such as paranoia and the uncanny.

A pun for Canada's Highway 401, which is nicknamed the "Highway of Heroes." It is in reference to the fact that the 401 is almost always a completely awful mess of cars and trucks that are almost always bumper-to-bumper with one another.

Ex1. A child runs full speed, screaming annoyingly into a glass door. All present adults horror laugh before enjoying the silence and checking for a pulse.
Ex2. Tommy, "Yeah, so I thought the night couldn't get much worse after I slipped and fell ass first onto her new suction cup dildo....Until she pat me on the back and said that it was 'meant for me the whole time'..."
Jack, *horror laugh* "Ohhhohoh...haha awww that heh heh. That's sucks buddy."

A movie so terrifying that I had to lock my children in my basement and lock all 7,823,034 door and window locks and hide for nearly half of a decade, This is my return note and I am hoping I never have to experience the terrifying film known as Open season: scared silly
Guy 1: Dude, did you see Open Season: scared silly (2015 horror movie)?
Guy 2: *has Vietnam flashbacks*
Guy 1: You good bro?
Guy 2: *shakes away flashbacks* *throws up**has seizure*
Spongebob Narrator: 2 weeks later
Guy 2: never speak of that again!

a conker-sized wad of clean toilet tissue that's been soaked under a cold tap and then, while soggy, thrown at somone, usually from above (i.e. by leaning over the partition between two toilets in a public lav).
hurl the bog-horror downwards towards the upturned and startled face of your target while shouting "have that you bastard"
