Fear is the visceral reaction to a physical threat. Horror is the reaction to a threat to reality or sanity. So, my standard example:You are walking to your parent's house late one night and hear footsteps behind you. You look but see no one. You keep walking and soon hear more footsteps so you turn around sharply and see a figure duck for cover. You start walking faster. The footsteps keep pace. You finally see a cloaked figure chasing after you with a sickle, and see that it is already dripping in blood. You slip and fall, the figure gets closer. You trip on a tree root, the figure gets even closer. You see the figure is wearing a mask and has a robe splattered with blood. You keep running, but the figure catches up and slashes your back with the sickle.  You scream in pain and keep running. You scream for help. You run. You finally collapse. The dark figure looms over you, stabs you in the shoulder. The masked figure stabs you again and again......BOOM! You hear a gun blast. The masked figure falls to the ground and a man with a gun runs up to you. "Are you okay? The police are coming, I heard you screaming." You have just been rescued. The dark figure with the sickle is lying dead in a pool of blood. The man who saved you is binding your wounds. The fear is subsiding, you are calming down, your heartrate is returning to normal. The adrenalin has stopped pumping in your blood. You are calming down while the police arrive to take your report. An ambulance is on the way, you are going to be okay. The fear is gone.You hobble over to the corpse of the slasher who just tried to kill you and pull the mask away. You look at the face and realize it is no stranger. The person who was trying to kill you stares back at you with dead eyes. It's your mother......That is when the horror starts.</blockquote>
