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.’

"I was sitting on the beach at Blackpool and this 14 stone Hammer Horror started giving me the come on! I'd have rather slept with one of the donkeys giving rides."

Metal based on famine, pestilence, war, death, monsters from the unknown worlds
beneath us, in the darkness, they call to us,
wanting what they don't have. Beware humans you are not alone.

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."

Thought exercise used to define realistic parameters of a given situation or event. The individual creates a horror floor by taking a scientific method type approach to their situation/event, analyzing the pros and cons, and defining the true worst possible outcomes in a non-pessimistic or biased manner. Much like the 'glass ceiling', which limits positive growth in talented individuals but exists and is enforced by the mind , the 'Horror Floor' is an exercise in the reverse direction. By defining the real worst possible outcomes, the individual creating their horror floor can find solid footing to begin the assessment of challenging situations without giving in to bottomless and reasonless despair.
You fail (test/deadline/important responsibility) and feel terrible. It was paramount that you not fail, and your self-esteem takes a big hit. You begin to doubt what you know about yourself now that you have broken one of your most personal edicts. You then take a deep breath and carefully consider the ramifications of your failure, and consider their real impact on your life and how dire or trivial the end results are without bias or pessimism. You define and accept where and how you failed, while consciously addressing what other tools or resources you have that can remedy your situation. You keep in mind the limits of the consequences of your failure without allowing them to consume you and prevent you from utilizing the rest of your resources to build new foundations that will prevent you from future failure. By defining where the limits of your failure reach and the nature of said failure and consequences, you create your "horror floor", which serves as a foundation to limit the 'bottomless' sensation of emotional/intellectual despair.
