These are a classic group of horror films made by the British studio Hammer Films between the 1950's and 1970's.
Dracula, Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde plus Quatermass were all produced under the studio. These films are still show on TV and have a cult following. Low on budget, but big on scares. They relied on suspense often – and very effectively at that.
Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope) featured in many of the best pieces.
Hammer Horror is also a term used to describe the worst of the worst of British women, particularly those seen with too few clothes on in seaside resorts.
Quirky British songstress Kate Bush recorded a song called Hammer Horror which can be found on her excellent album ‘Lionheart.’

A subgenre of horror that's often made to attract younger audiences, characterized by a recognizable (usually marketable) mascot. Games in this genre may rely on cheap jump scares and are likely to have extremely convoluted lore.
Examples of mascot horror include but are not limited to: Five Nights At Freddy's, Poppy Playtime, and Hello Neighbor.

The type of movie with the really dumb person who does absolutely everything in their power to do the wrong thing (e.g. if they hear whispering in the night, they will follow it to their impending doom.)

A figurative place endured by any soundly beaten opponent. The term first came to prominence when coined by professional boxer (read, punching bag) Peter "Hurricane" McNeely in the lead up to his 1995 heavyweight clash with "Iron" Mike Tyson.
"I'm gonna wrap Mike Tyson in a cocoon of horror."
"That fucken Crip pull a gat on me, I put the motherfucker in a cocoon of horror."
"You see that white-ass pimp on Rikki Lake? Man, when his ho's came out on stage he entered his own personal cocoon of horror."

Australian slang for a medical condition which results from excessive alcohol consumption. Physical symptoms resemble those of a severe hangover (nausea, headache, physical malaise, tremors etc), however the Grog Horrors is accompanied by marked psychological symptoms which include (but are not limited to): profound feelings of self-loathing, regret, loss of self worth, depression, self-resentment. An attack of the Grog Horrors may occur spontaneously but is more commonly provoked by a hazy memory of inappropriate behaviour while under the influence. While the symptoms of an acute attack of the Grog Horrors usually subside within 24 to 48 hours, this condition may become chronic, particularly in the newly single, and in females aged 18 to 30.
Lauren: Where's Melissa?
Sophie: In bed. She's got a bad case of the Grog Horrors after she shit herself in the taxi on the way home last night.
