The Complete Description of Horror Fictions

Answer 1

The following are some descriptions of the types of characters commonly found in horror novels:

** 1. Victim-type character **

1. ** Innocent victim **
- Such people were often caught off guard in terrorist incidents. They might have a kind and simple personality, and were unaware of the danger they were about to face. For example, in some school horror novels, innocent students might suddenly encounter supernatural threats while they were on their way to the library or back to the dormitory alone at night. They had never done anything that would cause a terrorist incident. They had only become victims because they were in a specific environment or were chosen by a mysterious force.
2. ** Curious victim **
- They usually have a strong curiosity that drives them to explore forbidden or mysterious places and events. For example, the characters in the horror stories of ancient castles heard some strange voices or legends in the castle. Despite the warnings of the people around them, they went deep into the castle out of curiosity, causing a terrifying encounter. They might ignore the danger signals and focus on uncovering the veil of mystery, only to fall into a terrifying trap.

3. ** Destined victim **
- From the story setting, they seemed to be born with some kind of curse or fate. In some horror novels involving family curses, some members of the family might be destined to encounter horror events from birth. They might have some special marks or special abilities, but this uniqueness would become the reason why the source of terror targeted them. No matter how they struggled, it would be difficult for them to escape the fate of being enveloped by terror.

1. ** Supernatural Creatures **
- ** Ghost **:
- He was often a frequent guest in horror novels. They might have died unjustly, lingering in the human world with strong resentment. Ghosts came in many forms. Some wore white robes, had pale faces, empty eyes, and translucent bodies. They might move silently and suddenly appear in front of the victim. They could pass through walls and appear in the darkness, creating a terrifying atmosphere through cold air or eerie sounds.
- For example, in some horror novels set in hospitals, the ghosts of dead patients might appear in the corridors and wards of the hospital, harassing the living, making the living feel the approaching death and irresistible fear.
- Demon:
- It represented the power of evil and had powerful abilities. The appearance of the demon could be very terrifying. It had a huge body, sharp claws and teeth, and its skin could be black or red, emitting a smell of sulfur. They were good at seducing humans and feeding on human souls. In the story, they might possess humans and control their behavior, causing humans to do terrifying acts that went against common sense, thus creating chaos and terror in human society.
- Monster:
- This was a relatively broad concept. It could be a creature that had been mutated by radiation or curses, or it could be an unknown creature from a mysterious region. They had a strange appearance and might have multiple heads, huge limbs, or bodies full of spikes. Monsters usually had powerful attack power, and their goal was to prey on humans or destroy them. For example, in some horror novels about deep mountains or mysterious islands, explorers might encounter huge monsters that they had never seen before.

2. ** Sorceress or Curser Type **
- Evil Art Master:
- They mastered evil spells or witchcraft, and they usually created terrifying events to achieve their own selfish desires. Evil Art Masters might wear black robes, mysterious masks or jewelry, and perform evil rituals in dark cellars or ancient temples. They could summon demons or control ghosts, use black magic to curse or create illusions, and make the victim fall into a terrifying illusion, gradually losing his mind.
- ** Cursed Person Transformation Type **:
- It could have been an ordinary human, but for some reason, it was cursed. As the curse flared up, their bodies and minds gradually changed. For example, there might be strange stripes on the body, abnormal growth of hair, or strange colors in the eyes. Psychologically, they might be occupied by hatred and the desire to kill, turning from a kind person into a terrifying existence full of aggression, posing a threat to the people around them.

3. ** Mental Distortion (Human)**
- ** Psycho Killer **:
- They often had twisted minds, possibly due to childhood trauma or other experiences. Psycho killers would choose specific targets to kill. Their modus operandi was cruel and unique. For example, some killers would choose their victims according to a certain pattern or symbolic meaning, such as the victim's hair color, age, or occupation. They might leave behind some symbolic things during the crime to convey their existence or some distorted ideas to the outside world.
- Mad Scientist:
- In horror novels, mad scientists often ignored ethics in pursuit of scientific breakthroughs or to satisfy their own crazy ideas. They might conduct forbidden experiments in secret laboratories and create some terrifying creatures or phenomena. These scientists were often consumed by their own ambitions and had no compassion for their experimental subjects. Their experimental results often went out of control, bringing terrible disasters to the people around them and even the entire society.
