User blog comment:RuckusQuantum/Poll 3: Horror Genres/@comment-25941663-20150214142906

I don't understand the options, sorry. What makes a story 'classic'? Is 'classic' a story set in the Classical Era? Or is it a story like 'Ben Drowned'? What separates 'Beings' from 'Monsters'? Monsters can be beings too.

Also, Psychological Horror is a very broad term, in my humble opinion. A story about gore and violence can be considered Psychological Horror if done the right way.

The problem I have with this poll (and categorizing pastas in general) is that everything can fall into almost any category depending on the perspective of the reader.

But if I were to choose my favourite genre, that would be mystery/atmospheric. One very good example of such pasta is WriterJosh's The Horseman in the Night or Humboldt's The Abalone Thief.
