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.

Get the Pop Picklemug. An artistic movement that started in the UK in the 1950s that represents familiar pop culture iconography, especially brand related, in a medium of ‘high art’ like painting or sculpture. Playing with the idea of what ‘art’ truly is. A marble statue of a Dalek or a portrait of a bottle of Coca-cola would both be considered works of ‘pop art’.
